I was watching some "Reading the Past" videos for research, and learned about this piece of original 18th century stained glass in Westminster.
HOB?!?
Is that you wrenching that press tight, bruh? Were you having a laugh when you posed for the sketch for this window 400 years later?

Not to be a Star Trek fan too loud in the Sandman fandom but I know I can't be the only one who screams a little inside when watching Dream talk to Calliope and he says those three very special words: "Let Me Help."

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass it on to some other writers if you like. Let’s spread the self-love 💜 (i personally hate these sorts of chain-letter things, so no pressure, but i do like to know which of their works a given author particularly loves, so consider this an opportunity to celebrate your work!)
Man, my instinct was "but I haven't written enough to have five favorites" and then i looked at my works page and I was like. Huh. Ok, actually that's wrong somehow.
Anyway.
The Next Level - Sandman/Good Omens crossover.
Originated entirely from that post where Neil said that Aziraphale and Crowley like to hold hands. Wrote it during a work training conference instead of paying full attention. As you do.
Put that Thing Back Where it Came From or So Help Me - Sandman,
My gen Gault and Jed buddy adventure story that took me a while to write but I got there in the end. Unfortunately for me, the readers don't go for gen-fic, so it has a third the reads of my other stuff. QQ
Wash these Sins On Down the River - Dreamling AU, written to go with @teejaystumbles art.
Vampire Hob, mysterious supernatural entity Dream. Gosh this was fun to write have take over my entire brain for like two months.
The Vampire, Formerly of Surrey - for The Angel of the Crows by Katherine Addison.
I just really wanted more Crow and Doyle, and also there's only eight works in that fandom and I got to deal with my personal feelings about both vampires and chronic illness.
Lowdown and Dirty - for the Foreigner series by CJ Cherryh
Still really proud of this one, even though it's from 2017, before I took my five year fanfic writing hiatus. This was just me going "wouldn't it be fun if Ilisidi Filed Intent on Bren for sneaky political reasons? he would be so hurt and annoyed and inconvenienced."

Thank you for this tag, @tryan-a-bex and @zzoomacroom!
My favourite work that I've written is The King of Stone, which is not the Sandman fandom but it's the work I put the most work in, most love and most of myself. So, if you feel like reading an interesting AU fandom-blind, give it a chance. Fandom-blind it's basically the story of two men in a world where being hetero is a crime. This trope is not for everyone, but as I said, my favourite work.
To Hold and Dream - Omegaverse AU with professor!Hob and student!Dream, and an unexpected heat.
The Black Void I Cannot Fix - Dark!!! The aftermath of rape.
Marked by Death - Immortal soldier and doctor Hob meets god!Morpheus. Ft. rough sex.
Friend of the Sea - Mermaid!Hob and prince!Dream, a mermaid rescue mission and an exercise in trust.

Seriously the most important relationship advice ever
btw one of the key components of actually being in a healthy relationship is just asking for things that you want. i keep seeing posts on this website saying 'i really want to do/receive [X] but my partner has never done it'. just ask. 'nobody exchanges love letters anymore' ask. 'i want to have my partner's hair in a locket like the victorians' just ask. 'i want to be bought flowers regularly :((' literally just ask. your partner doesn't know they're being held to these expectations and that you're unhappy unless you tell them. it's so unfair to expect your partner to read your mind. 'it's less special if you have to ask :((' grow up and stop pretending you're the lead in a romcom. when people say communication is crucial they mean it !! just ask !!

There should be a fanfic writing game called the showrunners challenge where someone writes a story and partway through someone else can play things like "actor leaves after 4000 more words" or "topic now too politically sensitive due to unforeseen world events" or "lost rights to that reference"

Side Note To Fan Fic Authors
Here’s the thing.
I read a lot of scripts. A lot. From professionals to aspiring writers to complete newbies. Features and pilots. Specs and treatments.
And 8 times out of 10 the fan fic that I’ve read over the last, oh, 15 years is leagues better than this stuff. It’s more inspired. It’s more compelling. It’s genre bending and creative and heartfelt. It’s well-paced and intense and funny and sexy and meaningful. It’s smart and thoughtful and good. It’s novel-quality. Better than, sometimes.
Rare is the script I don’t want to put down, but how often have we stayed up until 3am to get to the last chapter of a 100k fic? And it’s not even a fan fic author’s day job. This is what they do on the side. In their spare time. For free.
So my point is, fan fic authors, you’re good. You’re good writers and great storytellers. I know it doesn’t always feel like it, especially if you’re one of the authors who’s not a BNF and doesn’t get the notes/hits that a few do. And because some people still view fic as “not real writing.” You guys know the shit that gets made into movies. You’re better than that. So be better than that. If writing is what you think want to do, then just know you’re already doing it. You’ve already started.
And you’re more talented than you might think.

the concept of lucienne being a cheerleader for literally any dream ship IS viscerally funny to me because she would never. she judges him for breathing wrong man literally the second it starts raining flowers or whatever the fuck she’s like 🙄😒 and saying shit like “Well! i Certainly hope His Majesty know what he’s doing This Time” and “PLEASE do not disturb His Lordship on his……. date………….. lest you invite Darkness upon us all” and if anyone asks her anything she’s all “oh well i CERTAINLY don’t know.” and launches into her two hour video essay on the situation

Killalla took the last bit of white out of Dream’s hair
Some of you might remember my post about Miguelanxo Prado’s work for The Heart of a Star, how all iterations of Dream start out white and that we still see a few white streaks in Dream’s hair in Endless Nights.
And since I’m currently putting artwork for March Madness together, I just broke my own heart. Because:
Morpheus at the beginning of Heart of a Star:
He clearly has the white streaks here.
The moment of walking in on Killala and Sto’Oa:
Borderline fading.
And at the end:
They’re gone (if you ask me, the artwork even looks like they went over it again to make a point, but that could be coincidence). In each an ever single panel after.
I’ve never really looked at it that closely, and now I just want to cry 🥺

An old concept that I'm still feral over, but a Dreamling fic in which the dreamling relationship is chronicled entirely by Yelp reviews of the New Inn.
Reviews are either 5* or 1* with surprisingly little in between, and the business owner replies are always a riot. They start off fairly normal, talking about the food and drink, the couple of guest rooms upstairs, the location and prices etc, but then they start to get weird.
Constantine leaves 3*, beer is shit whiskey is ok not haunted which is more than I can say for most london pubs and the response is Thanks Jo, but you're still banned
4* this place is run by my history professor and it's amazing but he asked me about my overdue essay three times so I can't give it 5* and Hob, who has had multiple students visit the pub for the sole purpose of doing this, is just like you still haven't submitted that, get off yelp and start citing your sources
There are multiple 5* reviews like would give 10* if i could, the owner chased off a neo nazi with a literal sword he pulled out from behind the bar
5* should probably give it less because a couple of times the answers to the history round on the monthly quiz night have been wrong, but otherwise it's a solid little place for a reasonably priced pint and a nice afternoon and Hob's response is just those answers were right
And then Dream comes back and the reviews start... Changing, a bit
One of the 1* reviews is just complaining about the fact that there was a bird at the bar and no one got rid of it and the reply from Hob is that's Matthew, he has a tab. Several of the 5* reviews are also about the fact that sometimes there's a bird in the bar
One of the 5* reviews is saw the most beautiful goth twink in the world, will definitely be going back and Hob nearly deletes that one. The reply instead is that's my boyfriend, unlike Matthew he never pays his tab
5* i have no idea how i got there or found the place because i swaer i was halfway across london from where google maps says it is but anyway the bartender was really great and understandig when I started crying on him, will defiantely go back if reality ever warps like that again. Response from owner: yeah sorry about the reality warping, we don't get it either
1* I only wish I could have given this establishment a glowing review – fabulous service, lovely food and a sumptuous wine I hadn't expected, but unfortunately I had to see my brother's face. Response from owner: Desire get off the internet, it doesn’t need your help
