    Summary

    “And…” She held up a hand that quivered slightly. “I’m magic.”

    The implication struck him and he only barely managed to keep himself from falling on her, ready to devour her whole.

    “You… You don’t know what you’re offering.” Each word was a struggle to get out and his hand became a claw where it was pressed against his chest.

    “I know what I’m offering,” she insisted.

    “No, you don’t.” He grimaced as another wave hit him, his very bones aching.

    “I could devour you,” he warned, pleaded. If she reconsidered, took back her offering, took the choice from him, he wouldn’t have to worry. He couldn’t outright refuse, not with her there, so close, that crackling magic of hers and the heat of her body a waved carrot in front of a hungry maw. The words wouldn’t come. He was only so strong.

    She met his gaze, steady, direct. “So devour me.”

    The fact that none of us thought of Sorcerer Tav offering themselves up to magic-starved Gale upsets me. What even are we doing as a fandom.

    Summary

    “You know what kept me going, century after century?” Hob is angry enough, desperate enough, that his voice drops low, quiet. “Even when I had nothing?”

    The music around them crests, waves crashing against the unyielding shores of time –

    “Chimneys,” Morpheus answers, bland.

    Oh, what a bastard.

    --------------------

    Or, dreams are memories, Hob reflects about life, and Morpheus learns a thing or two about what it means to be saved, and to be loved.

    Summary

    The King in Yellow throws Arthur out of the Dreamlands, convinced that will be the end of his troubles. But he's miscalculated - Arthur and John are still deeply entangled, and the threat of Arthur's death and banishment to the Dark World hangs over them all. The King has no choice but to help Arthur survive this, for his own sake (aka Arthur Never Makes the Deal with Kayne AU).

Curious as to what is going on, Donnie decides that his best course of action is to follow Raph and see what’s going on. He didn’t expect what he found, though.
