_______________
“Uh– Boss?” Matthew said with much hesitation apparent in his voice.Morpheus blinked slowly, his hand falling from his lips.
“What is it, Matthew?”
The raven shifted his weight nervously, thinking of how to broach this topic. He had thought he was doing well in his adjusting to life in the Dreaming and as Lord Morpheus’s Raven, but this was something new and strange.
“Well…Alright, I don’t know how to go about this so- fuck it- do flowers normally grow in your hair?”

Summary
"So.. you're serious? You're actually making 1,000 paper cranes?" Hob asked, staring at Dream's delicate hands as they folded the paper carefully and with precision.
"Yes." Dream replied with a weak smile.
"What do you want to wish for, anyway?" Hob asked, his heart slowly growing heavy for a reason he couldn't quite put his finger on. Maybe he was hurt that Dream felt he had something to wish for so desperately, when Hob felt like he couldn't possibly wish for anything beyond what he already had right there in his room.
Dream closed his eyes for a moment before answering.
"It is a secret." He said quietly as the sun began to escape below the horizon.

Summary
”Ah, trying to avoid being a demon magnet, Crystal?” Edwin asks primly.
To her credit, she doesn’t bite. “Yeah, Edwin. Actually I am. There are a few experts here in London who can do some powerful warding magic. Why are we worried about this?”
Charles decides to take over. Even though Edwin and Crystal are starting to evolve in their friendship, his best friend can still be very territorial about cases.
”So, Kian’s professor here was always a real good guy, but the Inn he owns is warded against literally everything, and they’re worried about him, right mate?”
”Yeah, you got it. I have unfinished business he can help with, but only if he’s safe. Dr. G really helped me when I came out as non-binary. He’s an ally. And well, I just want him to be okay. I mean ordinary people don’t get caught up in this supernatural stuff do they?”
”They do at times, and often it is indeed a problem. I am glad you brought this to us.” Edwin looks to Charles who nods. “The Dead Boy Detectives are glad to take on your case.”
**Charles and Edwin take on a case where they will need to confront a whole new realm of the supernatural in London, while also navigating their feelings for each other. Complete.

Summary
In 1989, Hob Gadling nurses a drink in The White Horse, hoping his Stranger will walk through those doors one more. He’s ready to apologise for 1889, for pushing too far, despite the hurt that still stings whenever he thinks about that day a little too hard.
In 1989, Death comes to a decision. Her brother has suffered for too long. Though she is bound by ancient rules, unable to intervene, she knows of somebody who isn’t and hopes he will be willing to save her dear brother from Fawney Rig, and she finds him waiting once more at The White Horse.
A week later, Hob Gadling saves Dream of the Endless from his prison of glass and iron, and the two navigate the troublesome waters of friendship and healing.

Summary
There’s not much use thinking about those times, anymore. He will always be Hob Gadling, but the biggest part of what that used to entail had stormed away on a rainy night like this one hundred and thirty years ago, and hadn’t come back.
Hob remembers the ache in his chest in 1989. He remembers the glow of the pub, so much warmer than the pale light cutting across the alley now. He remembers staring at that empty chair for hours—first with anxiety, then with concern, and eventually with bitterness.
“You dare suggest one such as I might need your companionship.”
Hob had dared, and he’d paid for it.
He’d walked out of that pub in 1989 and not looked back.
—
It's 2020, and Hob Gadling is old, tired, and bitter, dancing the waltz of London's underground black market. Word has spread about something from the Burgess Estate going to auction, and who is Hob to deny himself and his team the opportunity to get their hands on it?
