something something Hob and Aziraphale were good friends in the 1600’s or something and they felt out of touch when Hob had to “die” to create a new identity. In modern times Hob is looking for a specific book and goes into a bookstore and sees Aziraphale and they both just

Morpheus: I am the King of Dreams and Nightmares. Everyone: And what about it?

Okay okay hear me out:

The only two reasonable explanations for why Desire did not try and fuck around with hob gadling while dream was in the fishbowl are either:

1. Desire doesn't know who hob is, which, considering hob & dream's six centuries of slowburn centennial dating and Desire periodically checking up on dream so they can enact Plans Of A Devious Nature, seems unlikely

OR

2. Other supernatural/eldritch/indescribable beings have Tried It before with Hob Gadling and Dream's response was so intensely, catastrophically horrifying that everyone, including Desire, knows to leave the weird immortal English man to his business. Yeah, they know he's Just A Guy. Yes, he is, in fact, pathetically, almost insultingly easy to kidnap or hurt or ransom or what have you. DO NOT.
