No fucking shit.

Summary
Viktor wraps his own arm around Jayce’s broad back and buries his face in the crook of Jayce’s shoulder. His breath is ragged in Jayce’s ear. The lovely, lovely sound of Viktor drawing breath. The sound of Viktor, alive.
“Does this…help?” Jayce asks, voice hushed.
“Yes,” Viktor breathes. “I think—I think I—can you—touch me more?”
(In life, Viktor had a voracious sweet tooth and an affinity for over-steeped tea. After his resurrection via hexcore, he wakes with a…different sort of appetite.)

Summary
In 1689, Hob Gadling and Dream meet once more, after Hob has lost everything. That night, their meeting goes on longer than expected when the conversation turns to what it means to live, to lose, and to be the fathers of dead sons. Unable to bear the thought of sending a man who so echoes Dream's own grief back into the night alone, Dream breaks his own rule and invites Hob to stay with him for a time, at least until he can get back on his feet.
The story of two grief-stricken, divorced, and widowed fathers to sons they lost too young truly seeing one another and there, at their lowest point, doing their best to put themselves and each other back together.

Summary
Hob saw two things immediately, obvious as anything, in what he felt distantly sure must be the wrong order.
The stranger was surpassing handsome: tall as he was, but lean where Hob was broad, with pale skin, black hair as long as a maiden’s, eyes as sharp and bright as the bite of water in winter, and a mouth that made him think, suddenly and irrationally, of wild roses; and more was the pity for all of it, because the other thing, the thing Hob ought to have noticed first, was that he was staring at Hob like he meant to kill him.
In which Hob and Dream make poor first impressions, become fuck buddies, and, somewhere along the way, start trying to save one another. Out of friendship, of course. A love story.

Summary
Dream was six years old when he was informed of two things.
The first - he was now engaged to the crown prince of an ancient royal line, and they would be wed once they had both reached majority.
The second - the family he was marrying into had sent him a gift. A wolf pup, meant to be raised with him, that would help him to fit in with his new family.
Turns out, though, that the wolf pup is a lot more than a gift. He is his new best friend, his future husband, and his name... his name is Hob.

Summary
It all made sense now, he’d been looking at the man for far longer than he’d realised, the canvas having been up every time he’d visited his friend over the past half a year, his body and face slowly becoming ingrained into the fabric of his mind.
“Should have guessed really, can’t have someone looking like you and not inspire at least one man to the point of obsession”
----
When Dream, the ethereal and untouchable artist's model, catches Hob's attention one evening at his friend's studio, it changes his life almost immediately.

Summary
“You’re a ghost,” Morpheus reminds Hob. “You’re not obligated to me anymore. You’re- you’re free to go,” he says. Clenches his fists and steels himself for Hob to vanish. Refuses to think about what that means for him. He's seen, too often, what happens when a ghost remains for more than a few months, and he will not let that happen to his closest friend.
Hob deflates. It’s strangely literal; his feet touch the floor for the first time in this conversation. “That’s. Kind of you. I think,” he says, in the tones of a ten-year-old who’s been given socks for his birthday and is trying very hard to be polite about it. “I’d rather not, though?”
OR
Morpheus is (sort of) a ghost hunter. Hob is a ghost. They make it work.

Hob Gadling is a beta (who trends to the more alpha side of the scale) who volunteers to work with omegas to help them get practice dating alphas, who was married once, to an alpha who wasn't his True Mate, and now he is holding out for true love.
They both, quite unexpectedly, find what they're looking for.
