    Summary

    “So,” Bakugou says, voice coming out in a rasp. “You want me to prance around the house in this for the next four days. Like your own personal sex doll.”

    Kirishima swallows, gaze sweeping up to his face. He nods, his cheeks flushing.

    Summary

    Hob has been around death. Living in London throughout multiple plague outbreaks and fires, as well as making a living soldiering and dabbling in banditry, will do that to you. What he doesn't know is that Death has been around Hob as well. He has no idea that when his Stranger left him that night in 1389 after their first meeting, the woman who came up to him, laid a hand on his shoulder and said, “Good luck, friend,” was Death incarnate.

    Hob doesn’t know that he is one of few things in this world that has been Touched by Death and lived. Had he known this, he might not have been as confused as he is when his body slams into the floor of a dim, candle-lit cellar and he finds himself surrounded by hooded figures and a gold circle on the floor. That is all he manages to perceive before everything goes blurry and consciousness slips away from him again.

    Here in the Darkness.

    *

    Roderick Burgess' spell does not summon Death, but someone who has been touched by Death. Hob Gadling ends up in his cellar instead of Dream.

    Summary

    “You know what kept me going, century after century?” Hob is angry enough, desperate enough, that his voice drops low, quiet. “Even when I had nothing?”

    The music around them crests, waves crashing against the unyielding shores of time –

    “Chimneys,” Morpheus answers, bland.

    Oh, what a bastard.

    --------------------

    Or, dreams are memories, Hob reflects about life, and Morpheus learns a thing or two about what it means to be saved, and to be loved.

    Summary

    SDN Employee Handbook, Page 12:

    Personal relationships between colleagues are permitted, provided they are conducted in a professional manner and do not interfere with work performance. All employees are expected to maintain professional conduct at all times in the workplace and avoid behavior that may cause difficulty, embarrassment, or discomfort to others.

    Navigating workplace romances is hard enough even when they don't involve ex-supervillains with mile-high egos.

    “Do you think it's a sign of some deeper issue?” Robert muses, eyes tracing the deep v of his ridiculous suit and ducking the swipe of Chase's hand.

    “Brain damage, probably.” Chase nods. Not entirely impossible, considering his lifestyle.

    Summary

    It had been two and a half months since the end of Spring Break.

    Eddie had been cleared of all charges, The Byers were back in Hawkins like they’d never left, Vecna was dead and gone, and everything was back to normal; or rather as back to normal as Hawkins could get.

    Unfortunately for one Steve Harrington, his new normal seemed to be not only his inability to get a date, but also his newfound proclivity towards staring at Eddie Munson’s mouth while he dramatically narrated during a five hour Hellfire session, or counting the freckles on the bridge of his nose, or memorizing the patterns in his honey coloured eyes.

    What the fuck was wrong with him?

    (Now with Eddie’s pov added!)
