Summary
Luke wasn’t really sure when it had started.
One moment everything seemed to be going so well — he got to marry the love of his life, they had won custody over an adorable kid, and he was finally qualified enough to start teaching in his Uncle Ben’s school — but then the next thing he knew, it…wasn’t.
Luke blames this goddamn house.
---
Luke doesn't care if this is the ancestral house of a king (the Mand'alor can fuck themselves), he just wants his husband back.

Summary
“He has no match in battle,” Apollo said seriously, black eyes burning through Patroclus with their knowledge of deeper things than Patroclus could ever know. “So I shall give him a match.”
In an alternate telling, Patroclus is a farmboy drafted into the side of Troy and barely managing to survive from battle to battle, and Achilles is the best of the Greeks. After interference by the God Apollo, Patroclus becomes the Trojans' best hope and Achilles' greatest labor. Canon Divergent AU *COMPLETE*

Summary
"They talk about the Angel in these dark city streets, snow and mud mixing on the sidewalks to create a kind of sludge in the winters and litter baking under the hot sun in the summers. They talk about the Angel in Hell's Kitchen, and there's irony there, but they can't find it in themselves to care. They talk about the Angel, and when they talk about the Angel, they mean her."
or, if Matt Murdock is the Devil of Hell's Kitchen, Claire Temple is the angel. Featuring objectively too much angsty Catholic imagery and run-on sentences.

Summary
"Well," starts Gabriel, wincing. "We would… take… Crowley… off your hands… so to speak."
Beelzebub, ironically, takes exactly 0.666 minutes to process that statement, during which time Gabriel sits in uncomfortable silence and glares at where the traitors are feeding ducks across the park.
"You mean take him back?" the Prince of Hell finally demands, completely incredulous. Gabriel nods once, the motion tight. It’s impossible. It’s unprecedented. It’s-- "Bullshit!"

Summary
When Hob meets Agnes Nutter in the year 1600, she tells him these three things:
Steareth clear of assuming friendship, even though thou dost feel assured of it.
When thou arrivest at the horse with a carriage of iron pulled by none, thou shall waite in vain, but do not give up hope, for dreams will come to you when they are free.
And lastly, a duck is more that it appeareth.How is that supposed to make any sense?
Or alternatively: Dream is not the only encounter Hob has in a tavern (or around one).

Summary
"He's not sure what he's expecting of Hob Gadling, exactly, but none of his presumptions are particularly kind. And frankly, after the first few times he stops by the Inn, he's not particularly impressed, either. Hob Gadling is....average. A basic bitch. Mid, even, if Corinthian might care to keep up with modern lingo."
AKA the corinthian stops by the new inn to scope out the local immortal, have a few drinks, and pick up a few new obsessive thoughts along the way.

Summary
Ric laughs, humorless. “You know, the ancients believed in inspiration made manifest – Muses, goddesses of the arts.”
Hob is very well aware. “They weren’t as daft as people think. Why not say a prayer? Maybe you’ll get an answer.”
“Muses wouldn’t have patience for a fool like me,” Ric dismisses. Hob knows the feeling; he’s astounded Calliope's stuck around this long. “Do you know Erasmus Fry?”-
in which hob gadling misses his favorite divinities, solves a problem he didn't know he had, and doesn't kill anyone (even if he maybe wants to).
(aka: professor gadling's guide to finding your muse.)

Summary
Hob was staring at the copy of the Will that had been emailed to him, and took a slow, deep breath through his nose.
His skin was crawling, and a familiar, all too comforting rage was settling over his shoulders that had him wanting to rip apart all the people involved with his bare hands. But wasn't enough, and there was no one left to fight, no one left to take vengeance on, and what's more, he was not even certain that Dream would want him to.

Hob Gadling unexpectedly inherits the Burgess estate upon the death of Paul McGuire. He takes his own vengeance in Dream's name on their legacy.
