    Summary

    As soon as Aubrey Thyme, psychotherapist, had opened her office door and seen her new client, Anthony J. Crowley, sitting in her waiting area, she was observing and assessing him. At first glance, she paid attention to the following:

    --His clothing was expensive and stylish;
    --He wore very strange but noticeable cologne;
    --His relationship to the seat he occupied could only, very loosely, be described as “sitting;”
    --He looked angry;
    --He was wearing sunglasses.

    What Aubrey Thyme, a professional, thought, upon first seeing her new client was: you’re going to be a fun one, aren’t you?

    Summary

    “Um, yes, hi. My name is Sam and I’m calling from Lawrence, Kansas.”

    A new voice... Castiel loved new voices. They always had new stories to tell.

    “Kansas… well, it’s not really midnight down there, is it? What keeps you up?” he asked.

    “I’m worried about my brother, Dean.”

    Summary

    “I am no longer your son.”

     

    It has taken him aback – a blow to the chest, a dagger to the ribs – that by the time Oneiros pulls himself together Orpheus has already walked away. Back ramrod-straight and unflinching: the final word.

    Summary

    The world’s population jumped to seven billion in the time Dream was trapped. For a century Burgess’s binding circle held back the tide of what that might mean, but once Dream is free, once his power is restored, the additions to the unconscious take some getting used to.

    For the first few weeks, Dream just feels really, really high.
