Summary
Jayce hates the rumors for what they are: baseless lies that rob an honest man of his genius. But, worse yet, he hates the images they conjure in his mind. Viktor, wanting. Viktor with his legs spread, his chest flushed, his hair askew. Viktor giving himself to someone, anyone else—what pleasure could they bring him that Jayce couldn't? What would they know about the soft slant of his mouth in the morning, before he's had his tea, or the way his accent thickens in the sleepless, waning hours of the night?
Jayce hears a vicious rumor about Viktor's promiscuity that sets his blood boiling and his head spinning.
He pays no heed to the gossip, except—well. Except the part where he can't stop thinking about it.

Summary
Henry thinks of the little velvet ring box tucked away in the suitcase beneath his socks and smiles privately to himself. It's always been Paris for them. It's the night that he comes back to, again and again, when they'd first made love and Alex had marked himself inside Henry – not just body, but soul, an etching so tender and fiercely held that Henry knew even then it would never fade.
Henry flies to Paris with a ring in his suitcase, a question in his heart, and Alex by his side.

Summary
"Hail, great prince of Phthia."
"Hail," Achilles greets him. "But here, in this part of the palace, I am just Achilles."
Achilles and Patroclus play the concept of erastes and eromenos with each other. Passion is a vehement little thing.

Summary
"I take it you had a pleasant dream?" Patroclus' voice is still rough with sleep, and the words are half-slurred against the curve of his neck. He can hear amusement there, and desire too; there is no hiding the way Pat's body responds to his, like the sweet notes of a lyre when its strings are plucked.
Even in sleep, Achilles can't help but reach for his lover. Patroclus is more than happy to show him that reality can be every bit as tantalizing as his dreams.

Summary
Patroclus took a slow sip of the liquid, savoring the bright bloom of it on his tongue. The roguish expression on his face mingled briefly with one of pleasure, and Achilles could almost taste it from the sight alone. After a time he swallowed, and Achilles' eyes followed the bob of his throat.
"I have seen the way he looks at you."
Spurred by another gift from their ever-generous prince, Patroclus lays siege to his lover’s deepest fantasies.

"I'm sorry," Hob says, the ingrained British instinct to apologize briefly outweighing a flash of annoyance so powerful it could rock the sun off its orbit. "But I thought you just said that the queen of the fairies has asked you to marry her."
Queen Titania of the Fey announces her claim over Dream of the Endless, demanding his hand in marriage based on their previous tryst. Hob has several things to say about that.
Set sometime after Hob Gadling vs. The Devil.

Summary
There is a new temple in London.
This is not so unusual. Dream has been…away, as his sister says, for over a century. Even had he not been, he does not map the Waking so thoroughly as to always see these things when they start. Places of love, of devotion, spring up from time to time. He leaves them be; they are not, generally speaking, his business.
What is unusual is that this one is shaped like a pub, and it is very much his business.
Dream contemplates The New Inn as he approaches.
Hob’s actions while Dream is away have consequences neither of them anticipated.

Summary
A sequel to isolation.
Jayce gets Viktor out of Piltover, and nothing is as easy as it should be.
“I feel as if I’m not quite myself,” Viktor says.
Jayce is quiet, and the silence stretches between them. When Jayce finally speaks, he says, “I don’t feel like myself either.”
Viktor meets his eyes. It’s a marvel, he thinks, that even when he is most lost to his own mind, Jayce can still follow.
