    Summary

    Hob was not a list person.

    But when he found himself in a situation he didn’t understand, the first thing he did was attempt to make a list of things he knew.

    One.  He was dreaming.  Sort of.
    Two.  He was a cat.

    This was going to be a very long day.

    Summary

    Hob could have and did count himself fortunate that the wounds he'd taken at Third Ypres entitled him to a three week home leave. That was more than time enough to meet Death here, at the gates of the place they held his....friend. Here, in the last stretch of a plan that had arisen in swiftness, there was one moment of foreboding that led him to turn to her.

    "Are you ready?"

    "Are you?" Death's question was calm, and her manner was likewise. Calm and confident but then she was Death herself, so what did she have to fear?

    "Damn right I am."

    Summary

    On a rainy day in the Dreaming, Dream of the Endless watches the dreamfolk doting on Daniel Hall, and wishes he could be someone small enough to be loved.

    Hob Gadling has waited a long time for a chance to be closer to his stranger. This isn't the way he ever imagined it happening, but he does love nothing better than being surprised.

    Summary

    When Crown Prince Morpheus is summoned to his father's court for the summer, he expects it to be just as tedious and aggravating as any other season spent in the Dreaming's capitol. What he doesn't expect is an attempted kidnapping, a successful kidnapping, uncovering designs on the Dreaming's throne, and a handsome esquire he really isn't supposed to fall in love with.

    How can he not, when Hob Gadling sees him for who he is, and not just his station? How can he not, when Hob is willing to burn down the world for him?

    Summary

    Summary

    Hob wakes up most nights crying. It’s the dreams that get him: dreams of a face, porcelain-smooth and impassive, eyes the shifting blues of a gas flame, or a nebula. The creature in his dreams is not a god, but it is the only thing Hob could ever worship. The creature in his dreams is Endless. The creature in his dreams is dead.

    Summary

    Robert Gadling is a man with a difference. Quite a few, actually. And he's been doing fine, thank you very much. He's really just seeing this fancy doctor to make his mum happy. Really. He's not expecting any great revelations about why he is the way he is.

    And he can't quite place what it is that's so weird about this Dr Murphy's eyes, but... hey, it's just a quick routine exam, right?

    Summary

    The Stranger hesitates, and does something Hob would not have believed possible. He stammers. “I- I do not remember. I came to and was being pursued.”

    Hob notices the older man approaching, but is shocked as his voice rings out, addressing them both, “My dear boy, I am so glad we have found you.” He observes the situation warily; the only reaction from his friend is subtle, the smallest recoil.

    “Who exactly are you?” Hob asks the man.

    “Why, I’m Paul McGuire, and I can’t thank you enough,” the man looks at Hob’s ID badge, “Dr. Gadling, for finding my nephew.”

    Hob’s eyes narrow, as he flatly asks, “Your nephew?”

    ***

    Hob’s life is forever changed when his Stranger literally stumbles back into his life, amnestic and hunted, and he must use the skills gathered over an immortal life to evade their pursuers. They soon realize that bits of memory are coming back to Hob’s Stranger, through the power of literature. They are slower, however, to recognize that the most important story to explore may be their own.

    A love letter to books, libraries, and the stories that make us, and allow us to change for the better.

    Summary

    Lord Morpheus is the eldest child of the Earl and Countess of Endless, an ancient family hiding huge debts behind a fine name. As an omega, Morpheus cannot inherit his father's title or the family's ancestral home. His function is simple: secure a match that is both socially advantageous and financially viable, thus securing the future of the estate and the title of Earl of Endless for his offspring. The family believe that their troubles are solved when Morpheus dutifully (if reluctantly) becomes engaged to his wealthy cousin, Patrick. However, all their carefully laid plans are thrown into chaos when Patrick drowns on the ill-fated Titianic.

    Now Morpheus is navigating treacherous waters of his own and discovering how tight the ties of family loyalty bind him. Will the charming and handsome Duke of Crowborough prove his saviour? Or will the wealthy yet odious Sir Roderick Burgess ensnare Morpheus in plans of his own?

    Meanwhile, the family’s new chauffeur, one Robert Gadling, is muddying the waters of Morpheus’s existence even further- where is the line between a servant and a friend? Can Hob help Morpheus see that life exists beyond the confines of family and function?

    Summary

    “But how does he?” He swirls his glass, looking at it. “Handle it, I mean. Does he at all?”

    “It’s his purpose,” Death says like it’s obvious. “His function. He was built to handle it.”

    Hob laughs in disbelief. “Have you met him?”

     


    Dream is gone until he isn't. Hob handles both just fine.


    Just fine.
