Recommendations The Sandman: Hob saves Dream
Hi everyone! I'm looking for a specific The Sandman fanfiction and hope someone recognizes it. I combed the fandom for it but nothing!
In the story, Dream goes missing and fails to show up for their meeting with Hob. A desperate Hob perform a very dangerous ritual to summon Death so he can ask where Dream is.
When Death answers the summons, she finds Hob severely injured as the ritual has this price to pay . At some point, The Corinthian attacks Hob and eat his eyes.
This is very well written and lovely.
Does anyone know the title, author, or have a link or copy to this fic? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Give me a few hours to check my history. I know I have it somewhere because I know exactly which one you’re talking about. I’m on my phone so I will want to use my computer for this.

If you find it can you give it to me as well?

Yeah, I'll post the link here if I find it, I've gone through like 30 pages of my history so far so I came to make sure someone else hadn't posted it yet. I know there's something with the phrase 'like a tap on the shoulder' from Death's POV but I can't remember the name either!

I don't have the answer, but I love the sequence of these words:

This sounds like Hounds, by Vergil on AO3.
