Summary
Hob Gadling had worked as a professor in London for some years. It had always been the same routine each semester, each day. Every day he returns to the same flat, the same deafening silence.
After several years at the university, Hob meets a strange colleague. Something feels familiar about him, but it is impossible that they know each other. Hob would have remembered the mysterious and shut-off stranger had they met before. He would know of he had run into the same emotional walls before as he tried to strike up a conversation with the entirely disinterested man.
Nevertheless, they cannot avoid one another as they continuously meet on campus. Neither can Hob deny that this stranger looks quite appealing from some angles. -

Summary
Dreams are often said to contain symbolism and hidden meanings. Nothing about dreams (or Dream) is ever literal. Hob Gadling is an expert at looking between the lines and finding the truth beneath the facade.

Summary
5 1 thing
Dream was terrified of scaring Hob away, so he navigated their relationship with the utmost care. He made sure to remain only what he should be, and nothing more.
Being immortal, Hob had only one person who knew all of him, and he would never accept losing that. He had to make Dream accept that his kindness was unwavering. He was also intent on making him understand that Hob wanted to know as much of Dream as Dream knew of him.

Summary
The lab was silent, save for the occasional clinking of glass and metal, the faint hum of a desk lamp, and the rustling of papers as Viktor scrambled down notes onto a piece of paper. He sat hunched over his desk, his fingers trembling slightly as he adjusted a delicate mechanism, brow furrowed in concentration. But it wasn’t helping Viktors current situation.
Or
Viktor doesn’t realise he’s sick until he passes out at his desk. Lucky for him the person who knows him best is there to help.
Set some time between act 1 and 2 of season 1

Summary
“I’m going to make tea, want some?” Jayce asked at last, turning to the tiny kitchen station they had in the corner.
“Hmm yes, please.” Viktor replied, his voice sounding strained.
Steam billowed from the mouth of the kettle as Jayce listened to it whistling away- he made two cups of Earl Grey and carried them back over- giving himself the ‘Man of Progress’ mug and Viktor one of Sky’s that said ‘#1 Princess’.
Viktor arched an eyebrow at him as Jayce placed it down.
“Princess? Really?”
Jayce clutched at his chest, “And here I was, wasting my time to pick the perfect mug for you.”

Summary
So, Viktor sleeps only three hours through no fault of his own. But if he had slept more, he would have arrived at the lab earlier. Or he would have seen the sliver of light underneath the door. Or he would have heard the footsteps inside.
Decidedly not human footsteps.
But because Viktor failed to sleep properly last night, he arrives at the lab later than usual, later than Jayce, and does not notice these things.
Hence his surprise when he opens the door to see Jayce playing with a dog.
OR
There is a dog in the lab. Viktor and Jayce have a conversation about keeping it. What they don't say to each other is probably more important.

Summary
“This is wrong,” Jayce rasped, his voice strained with torment, so unlike the Jayce that had left mere hours ago to dance and drink and make merry and maybe even make love to the beautiful Mel Medarda. “This is too far back, I shouldn’t be here—”
This Jayce was like a wild animal, bearded and shaggy, furious and heartbroken.
The huge weapon thudded to the floor once again, and Viktor finally dared to speak.
“Jayce, is that… you?”
Stewing in his loneliness, research assistant Viktor witnesses an Anomaly take place in the laboratory he shares with Jayce Talis, potentially altering life as they know it (or might never come to know).
