Summary
Morpheus didn’t want to complain, or offer up excuses, but he was trying. He was trying to be Dream, this member of a band that didn’t belong just to Death and him anymore. Endless was shared not just with Despair, Desire, and Delirium; it had become co-opted with thousands of people— over a million, apparently. It didn’t feel real.
And one of the only people, who hadn’t treated him any differently because of all this, had agreed to come along on the tour as Dream’s guitar tech.
Vignettes of Morpheus' time on Endless' first major tour and around it. Figuring out fame and his own complicated mess of emotions for one particular crew member joining them in the midst of it all.

Summary
“It’ll be amazing,” Hob says, hoping to transfer his own excitement to Morpheus. “Think of it as an adventure.”
“An adventure,” Morpheus repeats, skeptical, but he’s smiling.
It’s not as if Hob Gadling hates his job as assistant stage manager at The White Horse Theater. It's a solid gig. But there is something missing in his life, and Hob’s itching to chase it down. As luck would have it, Dream—the bassist for the quickly rising band Endless—needs a new touring bass tech. Even as they initially butt heads, Dream captivates Hob, and he wonders what it is about the quiet musician that charms him in even their smallest interactions. It’s going to be a long ride, but Hob has never felt more eager for it.

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
“Okay, okay. Then, how about this one. He took you with him shopping for a Christmas tree. He only bought a small one, but I saw the look on your face when he hefted it over his shoulder and it was, um… It was something. Then you made it snow in the most pretty and gentle way on the way home and brushed the snowflakes from his eyelashes.”
“I doubt that I made it snow Matthew.”
“Uh yeah, you did. I was behind you both, and it was like snowing in a six foot radius around you two and nowhere else. Now, I’m no meteorologist, but I don’t think that is an earthly weather phenomenon, boss.”
“Hmm.”
***
Dream is invited to Hob’s department holiday party. Thank goodness Matthew is there to tell him what being a plus-one means, as well to help him realize that unbeknownst to either of them, they seem to have been going on a myriad of Hallmark movie style dates. With a new ending to their story in mind, Dream heads to the soirée, but when the narrative presents an opportunity to save Hob from an awful outcome in the date auction, while also revealing his feelings, will he get his movie-perfect ending?
