Summary
We revisit Shadows of London from the mixed points of view of Edward Grey and Vincent Savile. The parallels of their narratives compel me so, and I am always interested in the dynamic between a vampire and a vampire hunter.
This work will refer to canon events and conversations; until it doesn't. Where we've got the "either/or" options in canon, I've picked and mixed, omitting some, blending others.
In my version of events, Edward Grey is not responsible for the epidemic, and the majority of the events of canon Chapter 2 are completely irrelevant.
Being a Brit who lives close to London, with friends and relatives who've lived there; I have renamed certain things from canon to be more accurate; and I have also fleshed out certain locations. I have also tried as best I can to provide more social and historical context.
I'll try and note any major changes or bits of context in the author notes, as well as any tidbits of information that might be relevant.

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."

Summary
Dunk never felt so young as he did around Egg. Young, and terrified, and stupid. So he had to be tall, for the both of them, even though sometimes what he wanted, more than anything else, was for someone bigger and stronger and kinder to pat him on the head and tell him it would all be fine.
