Summary
dream hasn't gone this long without visiting him since whatever this thing was between them began. visits in the waking, sure; not quite thirty years into this new arrangement of theirs and hob's already gone years without seeing his friend in waking hours. there's never any real pattern to his visits – hob will spend a month seeing dream every other day and then not again for eight months. he's grown accustomed to that.
it's been two years of silence, now. and hob knows something's wrong.

Summary
i do not require food, hob gadling. i would not ask this of you, dream says, and this time he takes a sip of that not-wine and hob feels every one of his veins, feels the rushing of blood through his body, feels himself pulled like the tides to this man – this unknowable thing shaped like a man – sitting next to him.
i would still offer it. this and more.

Summary
he's had enough practice by now that closing out his life in one place to move to the next is the work of days, and it's almost exactly a week after finally setting foot back in london that hob walks into a train station, earthly possessions packed neatly into a trunk and a healthy sum in a bank account ready to be wired elsewhere, and he buys a ticket for the next train heading far, far out from the city.

Summary
Every night when he manages to fall asleep, he expects to spend the night tossing and turning and playing over the day's events, the latest deaths, any of the many horrors on this horror of a journey.
Instead, his dreams are gentle.
(Hob Gadling, excited to see and discover a new part of the world, joins the crew of a ship setting out to explore the Arctic.
This was a mistake.)

Summary
But he can't look at Ron in the eyes and say I love you and I love you, and it's going to kill me and I love you, and it's alright that it's going to kill me, because my stupid broken heart was going to kill me soon enough anyway.

Summary
Where trust and devotion meet. Robby is certain of the fact that Jack wants no part of anything he can offer the man. Jack is certain that Robby isn’t interested. Somewhere trust broke down between them and a single hiccup brings both their walls down.
aka the one where Robby and Jack both make a small mountain range out of molehills of mistakes. And then throw in a biological BDSM AU.

Summary
Sunset Heat (n.) — A spontaneous omega heat cycle occurring later in life, often triggered by a perceived environment of safety, and/or the presence of a compatible mate.
Jack Abbot hasn’t had a heat in over a decade. He buried that part of himself along with his mate, his missing leg, and with everything else soft and needing. The problem is, there's only one alpha close enough to have caused it. And asking him might cost Jack the one steady thing left in his life.

Summary
“Don’t give me that shit, Robby. Not to me.” Robby grit his teeth and looked to the side.
“Oh, so what? Why do I have to explain myself to you? You get this, you—” Robby sighed. “You’d think you might appreciate some gallows humor, after everything.”
“And you think if you keep joking about it I’m not going to act like it’s real,” Jack said. “But I know gallows and I know humor and I know what I’m seeing right now. Don’t give me shit, Robby.”
As the day shift winds down from the events of the Fourth, Jack notices an increasing pattern of disturbing behavior from Robby. He's well acquainted with the signs; too well acquainted. Something is wrong. And Jack is not losing Robby.

Summary
The mom didn’t back off.
“Come on,” she nudged, “tell me you’re not single. A man like you shouldn’t be.”
“Well…” Robby said, exhaling softly, “actually, you see that blonde nurse outside? That’s my girlfriend.”
Jack froze.
Ms. Campbell seemed as caught off guard as Jack himself, the smile on her face faltering as the words sank in.
It made sense. Of course it made sense.
Robby and Dana.
Or, Robby and Dana use each other as pretend significant others whenever a patient doesn’t take no for an answer. Jack, being new, has no idea about the arrangement.
