Summary
‘His lips would not bend to kiss her. He wanted to be held firmly in her arms, to be caressed slowly, slowly, slowly. In her arms he felt that he had suddenly become strong and fearless and sure of himself. But his lips would not bend to kiss her.’
‘With a sudden movement she bowed his head and joined her lips to his and he read the meaning of her movements in her frank uplifted eyes. It was too much for him. He closed his eyes, surrendering himself to her, body and mind, conscious of nothing in the world but the dark pressure of her softly parting lips. They pressed upon his brain as upon his lips as though they were the vehicle of a vague speech; and between them he felt an unknown and timid pressure, darker than the swoon of sin, softer than sound or odour.’
“In your absence dear brother, a child was born: a child with your face and dreams so loud I could not help but interfere.”
In which Dream’s imprisonment ends a few decades earlier and Desire decides that’s simply not good enough.
In which Dream sees himself in one young Nigel Colbie.

Summary
“Start from the beginning. He is a newly appointed Head Archivist—
But that’s what he’s always been, isn’t it? It’s become a part of him, part of his identity. Part of what he is. He might not be human anymore, but The Archivist is something that’s become such a constant—
Wait a second. Not human? Jon searches his sink with his eyes, as if it holds answers to his endless stream of questions. It doesn’t, obviously. He lets out another shaky breath.
He looks up at his face in the mirror. His eyes are brown, exhausted, and wide open in fear and confusion.
Pluck them out. End it now.
Jon flinches and lets go of the sink as if it burned him.
You can stop it before it’s even started. Save them all. Gouge them out and be done with it.
His mind is drowning him. He knows this much. Something happened and whatever it is, it’s going to kill him if he doesn’t approach it carefully.”
—
Jon awakens with a tidal wave of memories that don’t make any sense. In an attempt to go on with his life, he searches for the cause of the turmoil in his mind. He knows, though, that something inside him is waking up.- Language:

Summary
The blood rushes through his ears and drowns out all other noise as he goes still. Intentionally, he reaches deep within himself, down to the very essence of what makes him the person he is, and twists it, knows it. It hurts; of course it does. But in the end, he opens his eyes again and he knows that he has to go on.
In this moment, the Archivist forces himself to become Jonathan Sims once more.
