    Summary

    Something is... off somewhere deep in the Dreaming. Something is breaking, and Dream is rendered progressively more incapacitated the longer it goes on. It's up to Matthew, Lucienne, Gault, Death, Johanna Constantine, and a handful of other dreams and nightmares to find the cause and solve it. Even when it possibly involves Hell and betrayal by a rogue Nightmare.

    (This is really just an excuse for me to fuck up Dream and make him hurt for three straight chapters, and I'm not sorry.)

    ---

     

    Dream is … disoriented. In pieces. Like he's being pulled apart like scattered stars in the sky. Even in this distant space, there is what feels like a knife, rending him into razor-sharp pained ribbons. Sand shreds across his skin. Cracks form across the surface of a smeared canvas. He's lost. He can't get back.

    Summary

    Delirium: an acutely disturbed state of mind, characterized by restlessness, hallucinations, and incoherence of thoughts and speech, such as experienced by Johanna Constantine when she’s on drugs, hit over the head, or talked at by an Endless.

    *****

    Or: Delirium of the Endless loves her brother. She tries her best. Her best involves roping in everybody else.

    Dream of the Endless is struggling, but that's not exactly new.

    Summary

    “Hey, kid,” said Tony, “call me back when you get this. Happy told me about Coney Island and-“ and the body, Peter’s mind supplied, “and, uh, I want to make sure you’re okay. I’m heading over there now. If you’re still there, just wait with Happy. We’ll sort this out.”

    The man’s tone was forcibly gentle, like coaxing a stray, and Peter would scoff but this had nothing to do with him. Tony wasn’t talking to him. Peter wasn’t here. Peter had died next to Toomes, or under the warehouse, or at Homecoming. Because if he was here, and all of this was really happening to him, then he’d be angry or sad or at least he'd feel something, but he was just numb.

    -

    The Vulture kills Aunt May the night of Homecoming. Peter's life promptly falls apart.
