Summary
"So, what's the thing that makes you poor company, stranger?" Morpheus opens his mouth -- it is none of your business, my heart is broken, I am contemplating going home and committing suicide because I am clearly and patently not designed to be loved in any meaningful way -- but is interrupted by Hob's cheerful continuation, "Because I've just been dumped by my girlfriend of two years."

Summary
A world where people are given, through reoccurring dreams, 1 to 5 details of their soulbond. The face, the place, the day, the time, or the name. Average is 2 clues. Unlucky bastards get only 1. Lucky people get 3 or 4. No one gets all 5.
Maverick is one lucky unlucky bastard. Even though it is his only clue, he knows exactly where he will bond with his soulmate: Charlie's house. But, as it turned out, Charlie wasn't the One at all.
Now, heartbroken, Maverick wishes he didn't know that That House is The Place.
Because Iceman just moved into it.

Summary
“You know what kept me going, century after century?” Hob is angry enough, desperate enough, that his voice drops low, quiet. “Even when I had nothing?”
The music around them crests, waves crashing against the unyielding shores of time –
“Chimneys,” Morpheus answers, bland.
Oh, what a bastard.
--------------------
Or, dreams are memories, Hob reflects about life, and Morpheus learns a thing or two about what it means to be saved, and to be loved.

Summary
Over the centuries, Hob had dreamt plenty of dreams about his friend from the tavern. All good dreams, of course.
Very good dreams.
Usually not dreams that featured either of them wearing very much clothing.
But until the talking bird told him otherwise, he hadn't considered that those dreams might be real.
(Featuring: a live Jessamy, Hob rescuing Dream from the fishbowl, a mess to clean and a happy ending.)

Summary
Truth be told, part of Fritz envies Bradley for having had a dad, at least for a short time. For having any male role models in his life at all. He’s got his moms and his sisters, of course, and he loves them more than anything, but he never once had a guy to look out for him and teach him about the world. Never had a man to go fishing with on Father’s Day, never had a man teach him how to surf or shave or which cologne to buy, never hit the same milestones the same way as any of the other guys in Jacksonville.
Uncle Mav and Uncle Ice, though. Fucking wild.

Summary
Tony Stark resigned his commission in Starfleet five years ago, after a disastrous away mission, and he swore he'd never go back. He just wants to be left alone to build warp engines in peace. But the universe has more in store for him than that, as he discovers when Admiral Fury comes to him with an offer he could never have expected and cannot possibly refuse: first officer and chief engineer aboard the all-new USS Avenger, a starship of Tony's own design. What's more, the Avenger's captain is Steve Rogers, hero of the Earth-Romulan War. Believed dead for over a century, Steve is miraculously alive... and very, very attractive.
But nothing is ever easy for Tony. As he wrestles with his secret desire for his new captain and his not-so-dormant fears, another mission starts to go wrong, and Tony becomes aware that Steve has secrets of his own -- and the truth could change everything.

Summary
Cassino, Italy, December 1943. Special Agent Tony Stark, former Marvels adventurer, is sent to investigate a Cosmic Cube found by the Invaders -- and it's the perfect opportunity for him to rekindle his secret romance with Steve Rogers. But when Hydra attempts to steal the Cube, an inadvertent wish for help leads to the appearance of a Tony from the future of another world: Director Stark of SHIELD. This Tony is a man with a lot on his mind. He refuses to tell them anything about the future, but he seems to know much more than he should about Captain America. And something's happened that's clearly killing him inside, but he's not talking. When Director Stark's failed attempt to return home leads to the unexpected appearance of another visitor from his universe, all the lies come undone. Now there are two wars to fight, and the second one could ruin all of them.

Summary
Hermione felt the pounding in her ears again. She would see him for the first time since the Great Hall, gaunt and stricken at the Slytherin table with his mother clutching his arm. She hadn't meant to look for him. Not in the corridors, not beneath the white sheets of the fallen, not on the way to the Chamber of Secrets with Ron, but she was a stupid girl.

Summary
July 1977. Jimmy is thirty-three years old with nothing to show for it. No beautiful wife. No two-point-five kids. No satisfying, fulfilling career. Nothing to point to a life being lived with any success. His closest friends are Beep, his high school friend turned Hollywood hotshot who supplements Jimmy's burgeoning cocaine addiction, and Robert, his annoyingly British coworker at Swan Song Records.
After Jimmy finds himself unemployed, he boldly attempts to make a change: he's going on a cross-country road trip, and he's taking Robert with him. Burning up the highway, Jimmy struggles to make sense of the mess his life's become and tries in vain not to fall in love with Robert, whose brilliant optimism threatens to break through Jimmy's cynical, hardened heart. As they drive across the United States, strangers become friends, passions are awakened, and lives begin anew.
