    Summary

    "It’s not right, what you did. But I realize now I’d have done it too, if I were you."

    A fairy tale about barren winter landscapes, burials, and forgiveness.

    Or, if the story wasn't an allegory, but the allegory was a story.

     

    incredible art from Ev!

    Summary

    Hob goes into heat at every single one of his centennial meetings with Dream. It's totally a coincidence and nothing to do with them being true mates. Nothing at all.

    There are heats, there are ruts, there are tears.

     

    For who knows where the time goes?

    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

    This is the first case that Crystal has brought to them of her own volition, even if Paul was waiting for them already. And since Edwin is trying to turn a new leaf, he agrees to listen to Paul's case. It's doubtful that there will be anything unique about it. He does feel slightly bad that it'll likely be bumped to the bottom of the priority list, but it's best that Crystal learn how these things work now.

    Then Paul says, "My partner, Alex Burgess, has been cursed."

    Ah.

    Well, Edwin can admit—to himself, if to no one else—that he can, on rare occasion, be wrong.
