Summary
Dream is a model who looks for stress relief from his life, his job, and his trauma, in the arms of a Dom at the London BDSM club Asphodel, twice a year, after each fashion week season.
Hob is a BDSM club owner who has spent the last few years serving a single client, who he knows very little about, twice a year, always at the same time of year.
After their latest Scene turns sour, and they part angrily, enough time passes for both of them to realize how much they miss each other. And when a second chance arrives unexpectedly - both of them leap at the chance for more.
(Also known as: Model Dream, and BDSM Club Owner Hob. They have an Arrangement until it goes Tits Up and then they get together and figure out how to live Kinkily Ever After through their respective Trauma™️ and have ridiculously hot sex.)

Summary
Going broke was never something Hob Gadling had intended to do. In fact, with barely enough money in his account to pay for a hotel and a storage unit, he goes to have a pint with Johanna Constantine, who offers to put him up in the remote and mysterious Dream House, with a long and bloody history. And has been in the Constantine family for centuries, meaning that Johanna has the keys. Hob does not take much convincing. What could go wrong, really?
~
What started out as a Haunting of Hill House AU has now spiraled into so much more, as Hob navigates love, loneliness and his own psyche as he realizes he might not be able to trust his reality.

Summary
With the power of the starlight flower, Queen Night could be saved, and it didn’t take long before she gave birth to a healthy baby boy, Prince Dream of the Endless. He was a miracle, with hair that shone silver with stardrops and eyes as blue as the sky on a clear day. A pout graced his lips far more often than a smile, but his sheer existence brought a smile to the townsfolk nonetheless.
And for a full year, the kingdom lived in bliss.
That was, until one fateful night, the young Prince was taken. King Time went to check on his son and only found an empty crib where the Prince should have been, an open window, and the stench of evil. On that day, the kingdom lost its brightest star in the night sky, and an old sorcerer gained a gem he did not own.

Summary
Hob approaches and peers through the pristine glass storefront, only to freeze in his tracks. There is some sort of martial art class going on, and there, in the centre of a gleaming wooden floor, stands a man who can only be described as ethereal. Tall and lithe, with skin as pale as moonlight and hair darker than a raven's feather, he moves with a feline grace as he demonstrates some kind of punching combo, his body rotating with impossible fluidity.
“Christ,” Hob mutters, leaning so close his nose almost touches the glass.
*
Or, against his better judgement, Hob signs up for boxing classes, develops a crush, and gets his arse kicked. Not necessarily in that order.
