    Summary

    They’ve built their lives around control—onstage, in their marriages, in faith. But after fifteen years, Josh and Tyler are running out of ways to deny what’s always been there. And once they give in, there’s no taking it back.

    Summary

    Hob takes in a breath for patience. “Fine. What’s the P-L-O-T device, and how did it get us from ancient cthulhu to—” He waggles his fingers over Dream, who is still sucking contentedly on his blanket. “—calamari?”

    Summary

    The Stranger hesitates, and does something Hob would not have believed possible. He stammers. “I- I do not remember. I came to and was being pursued.”

    Hob notices the older man approaching, but is shocked as his voice rings out, addressing them both, “My dear boy, I am so glad we have found you.” He observes the situation warily; the only reaction from his friend is subtle, the smallest recoil.

    “Who exactly are you?” Hob asks the man.

    “Why, I’m Paul McGuire, and I can’t thank you enough,” the man looks at Hob’s ID badge, “Dr. Gadling, for finding my nephew.”

    Hob’s eyes narrow, as he flatly asks, “Your nephew?”

    ***

    Hob’s life is forever changed when his Stranger literally stumbles back into his life, amnestic and hunted, and he must use the skills gathered over an immortal life to evade their pursuers. They soon realize that bits of memory are coming back to Hob’s Stranger, through the power of literature. They are slower, however, to recognize that the most important story to explore may be their own.

    A love letter to books, libraries, and the stories that make us, and allow us to change for the better.

    Summary

    or: Dream of the Endless Goes To Uni

    When Hob spots Dream of the Endless in the front row of his survey course on 20th c. history, he could perhaps be forgiven for assuming it was out of curiosity, to study his new human boyfriend while Hob went about his weirdo human life, or maybe as part of some kinky student-teacher roleplay thing.

    It's not like Dream was there to actually learn about the 20th century that he just so happened to miss while imprisoned, right?
