Summary
"Nightmares were far from new for Zolf Smith.
Images of Feryn being crushed in the mines haunted him for as long as he could remember. He'd wake up in a cold sweat after reliving the shipwreck. And of course he couldn't rid his mind of the horrible images of Oscar’s deaths.
So he had a routine when it came to them.
Zolf sat up slowly, taking in his surroundings. Not the Northern Wastes. Not The One That Got Away. The Hope and Heart. He got into his wheelchair, massaging his legs so they didn't feel so stiff. He wheeled out of his room, and made his way down the hall."
Or, even years after the fight is over, the nightmares never are. But fortunately, Zolf has someone to help him.
Or or, ZOSCAR. ZOSCAR HURT/COMFORT

Summary
"There were days when Hamid missed his magic. He still had the occasional dream where he would find himself flying through a balmy sky, his friends waving at him from down below, and he’d wake with a heaviness in his heart. It happened less frequently now than right after The Change, but today, Hamid was freezing. How he wished his blood still ran with the molten heat of a dragon or that he could cast endure elements. It seemed that no amount of layers would drive the chill from his skin."
Hamid's miserable and cold, and it's up to Zolf and Oscar to warm him up any way they can.

Summary
"Hamid's thoughts constantly returned to Dartmouth. To the smell of the sea air, the sound of seagulls crying over the water and harassing unsuspecting tourists, and the sight of the boats bobbing in the harbour. And to a warm kitchen, a flower filled back garden, a ring of chairs around a fire, and two ridiculous men debating the right colour of sheets to buy. Zolf and Oscar’s pub. And his pub. Their pub. The trip back to England felt three times as long as the trip to Cairo. Each leg of the journey brought more nervous energy, more hunger to be there already, to be in the arms of his lovers. This, Hamid thought, this is what it should feel like to come home."
After a summer away, Hamid returns to the Hope and Heart, and Zolf and Oscar. What plans does Hamid have for his future and what have Oscar and Zolf been planning in his absence?

Summary
“Oh yes. Just enjoying a rest.” Oscar moved his arms under his head and wiggled his torso, giving the impression of comfort.
“On the ground?”
“I’m connecting with nature, taking in the beauty of our garden, the flowers in bloom. The natural world is very inspiring, don’t you think? You should join me.” Oscar patted the garden bed next to him.
“‘Spose falling on your arse chasing chickens is hard work.” Zolf teased. Oscar raised himself up on his elbows and glared.
Hamid is away for the summer, Zolf is having a bad day, and Oscar is left to deal with preparations for a wedding reception...

Summary
' “Would you like some?” asked Hamid as he continued to lap at the chocolate. He wasn’t as good at subtle hints as Oscar, but he was learning. He put down the spatula and handed the bowl of ganache to Zolf with an innocent smile. Zolf stared at the bowl and Hamid waited with anticipation. Colour was spreading across the bridge of Zolf’s nose and the tips of his ears.
Oh, thought Hamid, I’m about to have a very good tea time. '
Yule is coming, and Hamid and Zolf are working on something special in the kitchen for the occasion.

Summary
“Are you sure you won’t stay?” Oscar’s lips grazed the shell of Hamid’s ear as he whispered. Hamid, unprepared for the edge of suggestion in Oscar’s voice, awkwardly drew back from the hug. Oscar’s eyes darted to Hamid’s lips. Hamid flushed and Oscar’s eyes followed the flush down from Hamid’s face onto the skin of his throat.
Hamid has agreed to make his home with Zolf and Wilde...but is companionship all they want? Does Hamid dare hope they might want more?
