    Summary

    Changbin’s eyes flit down, lingering on his clenched fist before coming back up to his face. His stone faced expression gives away nothing. “Okay, you can go first.”

    Seungmin doesn’t want to give him the satisfaction by questioning him and quite frankly he doesn’t want to continue a conversation with him. He turns around and continues moving forward, a little bit faster than he previously was. But that’s not because he has anything to prove to Changbin.

    In a doorway of a dark room he sees something out of the corner of his eye, Seungmin’s reflexes cause him to jump straight into action and he drives his knife into the temple of what he thinks is a zombie.

    “Congrats Sweetheart, you just killed a mannequin.”

    - The world is dead. Seungmin just wants to find his brother. Instead he stumbles upon a camp where he meets Changbin, who teaches Seungmin a thing or two about living in the apocalypse.

    Summary

    He pictures the funeral sometimes.

    He pictures someone he doesn’t know saying Viktor’s name wrong. He pictures screaming in public. He pictures stealing the ashes and keeping them in a protein powder container because it’s the only vessel big enough. He pictures lying in those ashes like a widow bird. He pictures baking the ashes into bread and feeding them to pigeons in the park.

    He pictures swallowing them himself.

     

    Or: When Viktor chooses a quiet death, Jayce learns how to love him to the edge of the end and carry what’s left through the sad art of letting go.

    Summary

    Half a decade after Viktor leaves Piltover for good, a fragment of Hexcore permanently adhered to his soul, an old friend comes to him for help. This wouldn't be an issue, if the same old friend hadn't spent the last five years trying to hit him, very hard, with a really big hammer.

     

    “You’re not real,” Viktor repeated, closing his eyes. Even with the knowledge that this was a dream, the gentle touch unraveled him. There was an impact crater where his heart should be.
    The calloused pad of Jayce's thumb found the corner of Viktor’s mouth. “All right. I’ll bite – what’s your evidence for this hypothesis?”
    Viktor smiled into the touch, felt it tug against Jayce's thumbprint. “Isn’t it obvious? You haven’t tried to kill me yet.”

    Summary

    “Hanguang-jun,” Wei Wuxian repeats. His heart clenches. He wants—but he’d really meant to have this nightmare stuff down before they met again, so he wouldn’t find himself relying on Lan Wangji’s nearness. He’s not supposed to go back yet. But he’s so tired, and his will crumbles. “Yeah,” he says. “All right. Take me back to Gusu with you.”

    Summary

    “Edwin?”, Crystal asks, and Edwin would say something snarky, maybe even something mean, but Charles is wrapped around him like he’ll never let go again, and there are more important matters at hand.
    “Crystal, what has happened here?”, he asks, and a few seconds later, their new psychic is standing in front of him, trousers splashed with the coffee she dropped, disbelief written across her face. “I was gone for a few hours and now Charles… and the whole building…”
    He’s not quite sure how to put it, most likely because he still doesn’t understand, and Crystal looks at him like he come back from the Cat King’s lair with an additional head.
    “Edwin”, she says, slowly, like she is still searching for the words, “what are you talking about? You’ve been gone for six weeks.”

    ____________

    Edwin takes the Cat King up on his initial offer, so instead of a few hours, he is gone for six weeks.
    Charles isn't good at coping with it.

    Summary

    Edwin loved his job. Truly, being a detective was something he’d daydreamed about in life and it was his reality in his afterlife, a genuine dream come true. Even better, he had the best partner and agency he could have ever asked for. The work was always intriguing and exciting, there was always more to learn and he always had his favorite person by his side. What more could he need?

    or:

    Summary

    "This one is a special case," Burgess says. "He is a war hero. Do you understand? You will be on your best behavior. You know what happens when you are not."

    Two years into his imprisonment, and Dream of the Endless has not given Roderick Burgess what he wants. Yet if he cannot have back his son, then he will have whatever else Dream has to give, and sell it to the highest bidder: body, powers, and all.

    Hob Gadling, newly back from the Western Front, has barely slept since 1889, and is desperate for any sort of relief, even that peddled by mad old men claiming to be warlocks.

    Summary

    “Ah yes,” Nyx notes. “I have not heard this tune in quite a while. It is wonderful Orpheus has resumed singing.”

    “I don’t think I’ve heard this one before,” Zag mutters, trying to place the lyrics.

    “It is the Lament of Orpheus. He has not sung this particular one in much time. The last time I heard was from my own son, instead.”

    “Hypnos can sing?” Zag asks, surprised. He can’t imagine the high voice of Sleep singing such a tune, though the God was full of surprises.

    “No,” Nyx corrects, “Thanatos.”

    Zagreus hears a rumor than Thanatos can sing and becomes determined to experience it for himself.

    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

    The first sign is so small, it’s not surprising that he misses it, in hindsight.

    After all, who considers it an ability to simply make other people smile by smiling at them?

    -

    Hob is the anthropomorphic personification of Hope. It takes him an embarrassingly long time to figure it out.
