Summary
“They always were a little nuts over money. Thinking that being wealthy makes you respectable,” Harry says.
”They haven't changed,” Dudley snorts.
”So, honestly, I really just want to tell your mum to go to hell, no offense.”
“None taken.”
”But, I want to know what’s in that safe deposit box. I have so little of my parents it would be worth playing their games to get access to it. And I think I could. You know, my fiancée is wealthy… very wealthy. They’re more loaded than the GDP of several European countries.”
Dudley’s eyes widen. ”Well, that might just equal respectability in my parents’ eyes. What are you thinking?”
”Maybe inviting them to the Manor.”
***

Discovering that his mum is withholding property from Harry, he has to find a way to set things right.

A story about redemption and the family you choose. -

Summary
”Beverly Marsh - the fashion designer?”
“Yeah! That Bev. And Ben Hanscom, we can try him too. I don’t know the name of his firm, but it would be easy to google. Recently they built that BBC tower…” Eddie freezes, eyes widening as he stares directly at Dr. Jackson.
”Holy shit, I sound crazy, don’t I?” He sends her a defeated expression. “You don’t believe me at all. You think I made up some weird parasocial relationship with a bunch of random celebrities.”
She clears her throat. “You don’t sound crazy, Eddie. I don’t use that word. I often see people who struggle, and these friendships sound like they’re very real to you.”
”They sound real to me,” he parrots. “What a nice way to say they’re all in my head.”
***
Eddie comes home from Derry a different man, ready to make a clean break from his old life. He’s always been direct, so he tells Myra about recent events, so that she can understand why things have to change. Myra, however, isn’t about to let him go so easily. Now facing a psychiatric commitment, how can Eddie prove his competency, when everything that has happened to him recently is literally straight out of a horror novel? A story about living your truth.. mostly. -

Summary
Matthew laughs, a crowing, gleeful sound. “You got it, friend. But, true lucid dreaming is something only the boss of this place can make happen.”
Hob nods. ”Oh well. It’s been fun to learn about.”
”Why did you decide to try to learn more about your dreams?”
“It was my friend. He told me he would meet me in his dreams, and I guess I took that literally?”
Matthew snorts. “Your friend? I mean, they were obviously flirting with you, my man, because that sounds like a come on in every sense of the world,” Matthew says with what would be a smile, if he had lips.
***
After an off handed comment from his Stranger, Hob decides to learn to lucid dream. He dreams up a pub, and imagines some very strange customers: a talking Raven, a Pumpkin headed man, and a beautiful winged woman. Acting as bartender, he advises his dream friends about how to cheer up their boss, while they also advise him on how to approach his oldest friend, who he just might be in love with. But when the king of the dream realm decides to visit this peculiar institution, Hob might be in for more than he ever dreamed of… -

Summary
”Ah, trying to avoid being a demon magnet, Crystal?” Edwin asks primly.
To her credit, she doesn’t bite. “Yeah, Edwin. Actually I am. There are a few experts here in London who can do some powerful warding magic. Why are we worried about this?”
Charles decides to take over. Even though Edwin and Crystal are starting to evolve in their friendship, his best friend can still be very territorial about cases.
”So, Kian’s professor here was always a real good guy, but the Inn he owns is warded against literally everything, and they’re worried about him, right mate?”
”Yeah, you got it. I have unfinished business he can help with, but only if he’s safe. Dr. G really helped me when I came out as non-binary. He’s an ally. And well, I just want him to be okay. I mean ordinary people don’t get caught up in this supernatural stuff do they?”
”They do at times, and often it is indeed a problem. I am glad you brought this to us.” Edwin looks to Charles who nods. “The Dead Boy Detectives are glad to take on your case.”
**Charles and Edwin take on a case where they will need to confront a whole new realm of the supernatural in London, while also navigating their feelings for each other. Complete.

Summary
The Stranger hesitates, and does something Hob would not have believed possible. He stammers. “I- I do not remember. I came to and was being pursued.”
Hob notices the older man approaching, but is shocked as his voice rings out, addressing them both, “My dear boy, I am so glad we have found you.” He observes the situation warily; the only reaction from his friend is subtle, the smallest recoil.
“Who exactly are you?” Hob asks the man.
“Why, I’m Paul McGuire, and I can’t thank you enough,” the man looks at Hob’s ID badge, “Dr. Gadling, for finding my nephew.”
Hob’s eyes narrow, as he flatly asks, “Your nephew?”
***
Hob’s life is forever changed when his Stranger literally stumbles back into his life, amnestic and hunted, and he must use the skills gathered over an immortal life to evade their pursuers. They soon realize that bits of memory are coming back to Hob’s Stranger, through the power of literature. They are slower, however, to recognize that the most important story to explore may be their own.
A love letter to books, libraries, and the stories that make us, and allow us to change for the better.

Summary
"I have never seen anyone lead a perfect life. The best any of us can do is enjoy what little time we have. And try not to ruin it for anyone else. And whatever mistakes you've made, or think you've made… maybe it's not too late to fix them."
Dream hums, contemplating Hob's words before he looks up at him with the vaguest ghost of a smile glimmering in his eyes. "And if I were to take your advice? To 'try and enjoy what little time I have…' Would I ruin it for you if I were to stay for another drink?"
"Never, my friend," Hob grins in spite of himself. "Why don't we go up to mine? I've still got that Chateau Lafitte."
...
There are many post-canon dreamling fix-it fics. This... is one of them.
Chapter 1 is a prelude of sorts, showing the rest of Dream and Hob's last meeting in the waking world. Subsequent chapters are set after the finale, before and during Death: The High Cost of Living.

Summary
'Twas the night before Christmas, although it’s July
Draco’s a shopkeeper, no-one knows why
There’s hiking and witch caves, freak snowfalls and more
Bad Christmas jumpers, nosy neighbours galore
Narcissa’s here too, but… something’s amiss
And what’s in those chocolates that’s making them kiss? -

Summary
Inej didn't think being bought out by the Dregs would lead to her feeling safe for the first time in a year, but it did. She didn't think Nina Zenik, a powerful Grisha with military training, would be her first real friend, but she is. She didn't think a sharpshooter, a convict, and a runaway would make her feel so welcomed, but they do. And she didn't think Kaz Brekker, notorious gang boss and killer, could make her laugh, but he can.
For the first time since coming to Ketterdam, Inej actually began to feel at home, to feel secure, and like she had control over her surroundings. But one secret could change all of that, and that's a secret Inej doesn't intend on sharing, even if it kills her.

Summary
"All right, I know I'm going to regret asking this," Aziraphale says. "What exactly does this wager entail?"
Crowley grins like the cat that not only got the cream but has absconded with the entire cow. He grabs the bottle and swigs straight from it despite Aziraphale's tut of disapproval.
"The pot goes to whichever demon can get an angel into bed by the end of the evening."
AKA The Fic That Tumblr Made Me Write. Heaven and Hell share a corporate party once per millennium. This time someone's had the bright idea of issuing a challenge to the demons of Hell. Crowley has no intention of missing the opportunity; Aziraphale's just enough of a bastard to make him work for it.
