    Summary

    When Hob took the Endless family bodyguard position, it was mainly for the paycheck. And also a lack of breaking kneecaps for collecting debts, which he does feel some way about. More that it’s a waste of his considerable skill, but nonetheless.

    Summary

    It all made sense now, he’d been looking at the man for far longer than he’d realised, the canvas having been up every time he’d visited his friend over the past half a year, his body and face slowly becoming ingrained into the fabric of his mind.

    “Should have guessed really, can’t have someone looking like you and not inspire at least one man to the point of obsession”

    ----

    When Dream, the ethereal and untouchable artist's model, catches Hob's attention one evening at his friend's studio, it changes his life almost immediately.

    Summary

    “Can't believe you’ve got a tattoo for me,” Stede whispers, throat swollen from his silly, besotted tears. “Because of me. That's just–”

    And then it's Ed who pulls back, tilting his head in what looks like…confusion?

    “Wait,” he says, with an eyebrow raised. “What do you mean, a tattoo because of you?”

    Stede pulls back, too.

    He is equally confused.

    Ed squints at him.

    “You said ‘a tattoo',” Ed reiterates, inexplicably emphasising the ‘a’. “I mean. I understand why this one might get a bigger reaction, or whatever. I get it's maybe more meaningful than the others. But–”

    “Hang on,” Stede interjects, his brain snagging on ‘this one’. On ‘the others’.

    The others?

    What does that mean?

    (OR: Three months post-innkeepers, and Stede has yet to recognise the significance of several of Ed's tattoos. Fluff & Feels. Two-shot.)

    Summary

    "You fucking live like this?" the demon says. Jo feels like she ought to be offended, and gets a sort of desultory "Oi!" out, completely negating the prayer to Saint Michael she'd been reciting, God damnit, she's going to have to start again...

    ...and then she notices her sofa.

    Or rather, she notices what's on her sofa.

    After handing over the key to Hell to Dream of the Endless, Lucifer Morningstar fends off an attack by Azazel, an attempt to devour their grace and become the new Lord of Hell. Injured and having lost their memories in the process, and needing a place to lay low and recover, they're brought to the last place in the world that any self-respecting demon would look. Much to Johanna Constantine's dismay.

    Summary

    "Uh-oh," Delirium says. Dream studies the car, the white smoke billowing out from beneath the bonnet, listening to the alarming clunking noise that the engine is making.

    On his hip, Orpheus, unusually solemn child that he is, gazes soulfully at the car.

    "Caw boken," he declares.

    Divorced novelist and aging goth Dream Nickson agrees to accompany his sister Delirium on a cross-country journey to Greece, partially to seek out their estranged brother and partially to deliver his son, Orpheus, back to his waiting mother. When their car breaks down before they've even managed to leave England they receive unexpected help from hobby farmer Hob Gadling, whose cheer and kindness mask tragedies of his own.

    Trapped by mechanical failure and a sudden storm, Dream now must deal with his trauma, his past, and feelings he'd thought he would never experience again, all in the course of a single day and night spent with a handsome stranger.

    "You know," Hob says, "I read something the NHS published a bit ago...about how depression affects memory? Basically, how prolonged periods of, ah, stress and anxiety can stunt how your brain makes new short term memories?"

    Hob asks Dream to pick up some groceries on his way home. Some things are easier to remember than others.

    Summary

    In the summer of 1895, Morpheus Sanfin – poet, omega, and disappointment to his wealthy father – flees England on the heels of Oscar Wilde's imprisonment for gross indecency out of fear that he will be condemned for the same unnatural urges.

    Seeking a new life in America away from the stifling hand of his father and the expectations of his sex, Morpheus sets out for California with Hob Gadling, a mustang driver who agrees to guide him, not knowing that along the way they will encounter natural wonders, the ghosts of their pasts, and perils that will force Morpheus to reconcile with both his sex and his feelings for his new companion.

    Summary

    Hob's fingers slip a little higher, just under the sleeve of his coat. He is still wearing his coat, yes, why is that? He feels very warm. "Could find out?"

    "Are you suggesting I should find some man to bed me?"

    "Some man," Hob repeats, jaw working. His gaze is hovering somewhere around Dream's collar. "Some man who knows what he's doing, yeah."

    Summary

    “But it’s not that you’re bored of us?”
    “No, of course not, no.” Ed kisses Stede softly, brushing their lips together and stroking a thumb over Stede’s cheekbone. “I just feel like life is…boring. Monotonous.”
    Stede hums thoughtfully, tilting her head, her hazel eyes searching Ed’s own gaze. “Well,” she says softly. “Then we can fix anything else. That’s okay.”
