Summary
David and Jack are falling asleep apart and yet, they wind up dreaming together. They are literally sharing dreams. Jack thinks it's his one good thing, a safe place to escape to and love Davey because he can't during the day. David, conversely, is worried about this new development. Thinking it's his own subconscious playing tricks on him for loving Jack too much during the day, David is on edge and trying to hide the part of him that loves that insufferable boy. Two sides of the coin, two faces, two types of day and night. Both of them are, secretly, hoping to meet in the middle and make their dreams come true. That is, neither can spend their whole lives dreaming...right?

Summary
It would be so much easier for Eugene to just run away forever. He could do it, find a nice woman and settle down, force himself to forget. But he wakes up in the morning with shadowy hands on him. He looks in the mirror and sees a desperate expression reflected back at him. He goes to bed at dawn, hiding from the exposing rays of sunlight calling him a coward.
Eventually, he finds his way to Lee's door.

Summary
Javert has heard people tell him that he's very dedicated to his life in the church. More blunt people have told him he's simpleminded. He believes neither--God has saved him, protects him. It is all he knows. It doesn't matter that there is a humble baker in town named Jean Valjean who is too nice for his own good. God will save Javert from temptation, he knows. It doesn't matter that Valjean has started showing up in his waking hours. And it especially doesn't matter that Valjean has started showing up in his dreams. God will not abandon Javert. Right? Right.
Javert contends with duty, worship, and his shameful desire for love.

Summary
He places a sweaty palm on my face. It shocks me somewhat. I can feel it scratch my beard. I know we aren’t the same people we started as, and that being a celebrity means looking like one too. Sometimes I forget that his hands are just his hands, even if they move flicker-fast on guitar strings, even if they, for some reason, tremble and reach up to my face.
“Is it too late?” he says, like midnights and tires and hoodies that stretch over the palm of one’s hand.
