Summary
Aila was never a normal child. Being the offspring of Lucifer Morningstar was a guarantee of that, but only child of the devil or not doesn't change that her mother wants nothing to do with her - past, present or apparently future.
All Aila wants is to understand her place and purpose in the world - why she was born... prompting her to go in search of her father - a man that doesn't even know she exists. Of course, the last thing Aila expects is him to be an Endless - one without his memories.
But before she can even dive into that, she meets his nightmare, discovers her life and possible purpose far more intertwined with the Endless than not, and promptly - accidentally - sends herself and the Corinthian back to Greek times... where she'll get the chance to meet her entire family - and her brother.
Aila would have preferred to have been normal.

Summary
Charles Rowland has it all figured out. He’s going to go to school, play hockey on a scholarship, and get a good job. That is his masterplan, and nothing is going to stand in his way.
Not even his lack of ice time. Or his questionable grades.
Thankfully, his new friend Crystal has the answer to all of this in the form of her best friend and world-famous figure skater, Edwin Payne.
They might just fall in love if they don’t kill each other first.

Summary
“Sister,” Morpheus cut over her, “why are you doing this?”
Death glared at him. “Why?? You seriously have to ask me that? I don’t want to see you scarred, Dream!” she snapped angrily, hurt. “If this goes wrong, you’ll carry the scar of this until the end of this universe! I don’t want that, and setting aside the part where I love you, brother, the very thought of it is abhorrent to me, to my very nature! And I don’t want to see that poor women withered away into little more then a spiritual tumour for you to bare!”
~
Lilly's gaze fixed on his eyes and the stars, the galaxies, the universe in his pupils. When he reached for her she stepped back with a gasp. “What are you?”
“I am everything I have ever told you I am, that my sister told you I am. You just didn’t understand, didn’t appreciate, the scale of what that meant. I have never lied to you, Lilly.”
Her eyes were wide and frightened as she whispered, “Dream...”
~~
When a single mistake creates a cascade of events with only two possible outcomes, either joy, or tragic devastation, all pieces on the board must be brought to bare.
With the Endless, magic, and love, lies just a hair's breadth away from the depths of insanity.

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
The Dreaming stands, but Dream... Dream is gone.
In the aftermath of the assault on the Dreaming, the Kindly Ones delivered their judgement, their punishment - for spilling blood - and yet, Dream is gone... but not yet returned. Death does not understand why. Endless remain... and yet Dream... is just gone.
Only because the Kindly Ones did not take his life that day. No. It's not much of a punishment if it was what he craved most.
No, instead, they trap him in an unending nightmare - living the moment he killed his son over and over again. Until he breaks, until he begs, until the end of time - Dream doesn't know. He just knows there's no escape. There's no help coming. He's alone.
And every day that he kills his son - just to wash the blood away again and again... He desires for this to end, he would beg for death, he wallows in despair, and he worries he's becoming delirious. The touch of his siblings reside in him, but he accepts they will never come for him. He deserves this. It's his punishment.
His siblings don't care - he tells himself... unaware they don't even know he's alive, and if they did - none of them, not even Desire, would agree.

Summary
"Attempting to negotiate will get you nowhere.”
“Listen,” Frasier finally snaps, stopping at the mouth of the subway stairs. “I am a sentient creature and I have inalienable rights due to me for it, like the right to say no, I will not do that. Now, I’m gonna make a leap and assume you have respect for all thinking creatures and won’t kidnap me. I have a life that doesn’t revolve around you or this shit happening to me.”
“This life you find so precious will be forever changed–possibly ruined– due to what you are, now. You would risk that, Frasier Lowe? To be unprotected, shunned, shamed, hunted? Trapped or dissected? Exploited?”
“I’ve been fighting and running and hiding from all that my whole life, man,” Frasier scoffs, continuing to walk down the snowy, grime-stained stairs. Slushy shoe prints muddy the way down. “What’s a little more? Now it’s because of this or whatever. That’s at least a good reason for people to freak out. All the other reasons were just for being crazy and for being a fag. People have been exploiting and experimenting on crazy gay people forever.”

Summary
Dream of the Endless has drifted through centuries, silent keeper of forgotten stories and fading dreams. Time bends around him but never touches him; nothing mortal should. Until a flicker appears at the edge of his endless watch — fragile, fleeting, insistently alive. She should be nothing to him, yet she stirs a ripple across the still surface of eternity.
This is a slow-burn story inspired by the universe of The Sandman by Neil Gaiman, where immortality meets a mortal spark.

Summary
Desire stares at him, their golden eyes heavy lidded with a cat-like amusement.
"Oh, darling," they say. Hob wrinkles his nose.
"What do you want?"
"What do I 'Desire'?"
"Just tell me, mate. I don't have much desire to play twenty questions with the person who directly contributed to the suicide of my best friend."
Desire opens perfectly painted lips, the exact colour of a bruise, and then closes them again. They look to Despair, who shifts anxiously.
"It is a delicate matter. We'd like to come in, Hob Gadling. It is about our late brother."
An accusatory silence settles for a few seconds, and then Hob disrupts it like a startled flock of birds, shoving the door open wider.
"Fine. Make it quick though, I've got stuff to do."The twins come to Hob at the behest of their late brother, to fulfil his final wish - with Hob's help.

Summary
“Who are they?” Hob asked
Seventeen-year-old Hob Gadling hates Shakespeare, avoids his homework, and lives under the heavy weight of grief and an alcoholic father’s volatile moods. With his dreams of college slipping through his fingers, Hob’s only escape is the golden meadow beyond his backyard — a quiet, wild place where the world feels softer, and his pain a little more bearable.
But everything changes the day they move in.
The Edvardsens — a mysterious family of seven adopted siblings with strange names, stranger auras, and a mansion that’s been abandoned for decades — have arrived from London, trailing secrets, whispers of fame, and a history even older than Hob could guess. When he meets Death, radiant and self-possessed, something shifts. And when he finds him — the boy in black, reading alone in the meadow — Hob begins to feel like his story might finally be starting. -
