Summary
Hob gets a late night text message with a picture of a bottle of wine, and entirely fails to be normal about it.
Inspired by the toast scene in Season of Mists, but not intended to be a direct translation of that scene plot-wise - more like, the toast scene if it were something else than what it was. If Dream let himself cling to the moment rather than hurrying away.

Summary
He can feel Hob’s touch, and that’s all. Without being able to see him seeing him, he’s free to react however he reacts; he can’t even hear his own sounds. Or if he can they might as well be part of the music he’s immersing himself in.

Summary
There are not many reasons for a male Omega to wash up in the remote Highlands, alone and starved and broke and shit-scared of Alphas.
There are even fewer reasons that don’t take Hob’s yet-kindled protective instincts and set them ablaze.
