Alara Thorne awakens from a nightmare with a burn mark on her collarbone – and dies before she can understand what it means.
But death is not the end for the daughter of a forgotten muse and a rogue god. Her soul wanders between realms, lost in the dreams of others, until she stumbles upon the heart of Desire's realm. The strange girl intrigues Desire, who becomes obsessed with her, unable to forget the one who should not exist. After the unsuccessful search, Desire turns to the one who has power over dreams and who is the only way to find the girl who only exists in dreams: Morpheus.
Alara's body is buried, but her mind lives on. Her presence begins to change the fabric of the Dreaming. And as the mystery of her death – and her true nature – unfolds, the lines between dream and desire blur.
Two Endless.
A soul trapped between them.
A love that is worth more than reality.A slow-burning romance filled with danger, mythology, grief, and impossible longing.

Summary
"If you don't stop me, I'm going to keep you," Hob murmurs into his ear, holding him tight through the spasms of his laughter. "You mad, ludicrous, delightful, gorgeous slut. I think you might be exactly what I've been looking for, for a very long time."
It starts when Desire drags his ass out to a fetish party in Brixton when he would rather have been tucked safely away in his studio. It starts with a few hits of MDMA, an unwise promise, and a conversation over heard in the smoking section. It starts with a man named Robert who smiles like the sun, takes him in hand and takes him a part, one piece at a time.
Look, Dream knows he's a mess, in almost every way, but he just came out to Torture Garden to ostensibly have a good time. He didn't intend to have every aspect of his existence turned upside down, inside out, and unraveled. Yet here he fucking is.

Summary
Charles desires something hard enough to bring him to the Threshold of Desire time and time again, but the personification themself refuses to tell him what it is so he can fulfill it and stop coming here.
Desire is having so much fun with him, why would they want this to stop?
Or: Charles' yearning for Edwin gets so ridiculously loud that Desire needs to personally take care of it, but he's too dumb to realize it's been Edwin all along

Summary
Mr. Robert Gadling may be tolerably handsome, of an amiable disposition and in possession of a good fortune (for a tradesman), but is it enough to tempt Morpheus, the 14th Viscount Amaranth? Will the months Mr. Gadling is to spend at the Amaranth country mansion as a result of a wager between the Lord Amaranth and his elder sister allow the unlikely pair to develop a friendship—or, perhaps, even a forbidden attachment?
A series of rousing events involving balls, duels, play readings and meddling suitors lie between the Amaranth household and their return to town come winter—events which may forever change the viscount’s opinion on the merits of life in the country and, more importantly, on the balance between duty and the pursuit of happiness.
