    Summary

    There was some little prick at the bar who was looking at him. White hair half-slicked back, fine-boned hand wrapped around a beer. Razor features. Snakebite piercings. Wrapped up in a long leather coat. When Ripper made eye contact with him, the thin mouth turned up into a little sneer, and then there was a pink flash as the tongue stroked provocatively over the line of the sharp teeth inside.

    Ripper grinned back at him, because — well, what was the harm?

    Summary

    It had looked like a journal. No title on the outside, and a few pages stuck out a little bit like they hadn’t been part of the original binding. It was old, too, the pages were the kind of yellow that only happened after sitting around for a very long time. He’d opened it expecting to find something interesting, and had still managed to be completely surprised by what was inside.

    It was a sketchbook, every page full of drawing after drawing. They were beautiful, too, even the rough sketches were ten times better than anything Davey usually found doodled in any of the books.

    In the very front cover, he found a year. 1903.

    Normally, he didn’t buy anything when he was spending a day browsing through antique stores. It was relaxing and fun and a way to wile away a Sunday without having to spend money. Something about this sketchbook made him feel like he just had to have it though.

    Summary

    There is a new temple in London.

    This is not so unusual. Dream has been…away, as his sister says, for over a century. Even had he not been, he does not map the Waking so thoroughly as to always see these things when they start. Places of love, of devotion, spring up from time to time. He leaves them be; they are not, generally speaking, his business.

    What is unusual is that this one is shaped like a pub, and it is very much his business.

    Dream contemplates The New Inn as he approaches.

    Hob’s actions while Dream is away have consequences neither of them anticipated.

    Summary

    When Dream of the Endless comes back to Hob Gadling, Hob is determined to be a Very Good Friend to him, because Dream's been through some stuff, and if what he needs is a safe haven, then Hob is going to give him that.

    It's what he gives to everyone else at the New Inn, after all.

    And alright, maybe that's not all he wants, but it's not about what he wants, it's about what Dream needs, so Hob is going to look after him as best he can, and try not to break his own heart in the meantime.
