    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

    The worst thing- maybe, the best thing- was that he knew he was far from the first. Humans dreamt all the time of fucking. Good dreams, sure, and nightmares too, he knew that first-hand. In dreams the very deepest of hidden desires could come to light. The sorts of things that would make a person squirm in real life, that would leave a sour taste in the mouth- all of it could be done without any blame in sleep.

    And done it was. Shamelessly.

    Countless denizens of the Dreaming had been fucked by their King, and countless more had fucked him. It was nothing odd, that the Corinthian took a turn.

    Summary

    [“There’s this thing that you do,” Alec murmurs. “This power you have that makes you look indestructible.”

    “You know that’s not true,” says Magnus.

    “I do,” replies Alec, “But even then … there are times when I’m not so sure.”]

    1992, New York, a city hanging on to politically-tinged Cold War feelings. Alec Lightwood is a Corporate - a superhero for hire - jostling with a secret identity, holding on to a sense of a normal life, and the fact vigilantes keep turning up murdered in the gutters with no explanation.

    Things can only get worse when Magnus - an investigative journalist - starts peeling back Alec’s carefully-crafted mask … and then there’s the mysterious vigilante with the power to move things with his mind who keeps turning up wherever Alec goes - Alec just can’t cut a break.

    A neonoir slow-burn superheroes AU about identity, truth, and falling in love without knowing someone’s real name (ft. everyone has superpowers because I couldn’t help myself).
