    Summary

    Jason starts to talk, loosens up, and just like that, they fall into the cycle again, something impossible and visceral and the most real thing Dick’s ever experienced in his whole life - because it’s as honest as it is fleeting, and he can’t escape.

    Tonight is… strange. A liminal space, in the fragmented crossings of their separate lives. Maybe this time will be different.
    ---

    Jason ghosts. Dick pretends he doesn't care. The cycle repeats.

    Summary

    One afternoon when he was fourteen Alfred sat him down for a very awkward conversation about the magazine that was stuffed under his pillow. In retrospect he should have hid it better. But life is full of times when you look back and realize if you’d just done something slightly different you wouldn’t be in the position you are now.

    Summary

    Dream gives himself over to Hob's control, and finds, in the freedom of that submission, truths about himself he is not quite willing to face.

    Summary

    In 1689, Hob Gadling and Dream meet once more, after Hob has lost everything. That night, their meeting goes on longer than expected when the conversation turns to what it means to live, to lose, and to be the fathers of dead sons. Unable to bear the thought of sending a man who so echoes Dream's own grief back into the night alone, Dream breaks his own rule and invites Hob to stay with him for a time, at least until he can get back on his feet.

    The story of two grief-stricken, divorced, and widowed fathers to sons they lost too young truly seeing one another and there, at their lowest point, doing their best to put themselves and each other back together.

    Summary

    Hob is learning to manipulate his form in the Dreaming. After several spectacular failures involving tentacle fingers and radioactive pink hair, he decides to get creative. Inspired by Dream's effortless shapeshifting, Hob attempts to change his sex. He succeeds. Sort of. From the waist down.

    Naturally, he calls his lover over to show off.

    Dream looked up then, his gaze travelling the long way up Hob's body to meet his eyes. A strange, almost proud smile touched his lips.

    "You did indeed do a good job," Dream said, his voice a low, resonant murmur that vibrated in the quiet space between them. "It is a very pretty cunt."
