Summary
Nuala has spent time in the Dreaming as an exile, a handmaiden, a woman who loved in silence because silence was the only language available to her. Then she chose to change herself, in order to save the one she loved. This is the story of what it costs to love an Endless who does not believe he deserves to be chosen; and what it costs him to learn that he does.
In the Dreaming, ancient things are waking. The Horae have chosen their vessel. Destiny's pages are turning. And the faerie who once poured Dream's tea is becoming something the Dreaming has not seen before.
A canon-divergent, mythology-heavy slow burn. Dream's trauma. Nuala's agency. The long work of two people learning to let each other in.
Spoilers for Season 2 and the comics ending.

Summary
Morpheus was sitting at the top, feet hanging off the very edge, his coat discarded to the depths of the nothingness. His sister, the Lady Death, was looming over him. Her hand was extended in the kind way Nuala imagined she’d take her one day. It almost looked…serene. And anger flared in Nuala’s chest once more - towards him, towards herself, the world, the Kindly Ones. He had no right to leave like this while turmoil bubbled and burned inside her. He had no right to look as peaceful as he did, shoulders slouched, entirely at the mercy of the universe.

Summary
Sirius feels oddly faint, feels like his whole body has turned into vapour and he could just be blown away into nothingness at any moment. Nothing about this has felt real, not when Remus’ head popped into his fireplace after a whole year and not now that he’s telling him that James, his James, won’t remember who he is.

Summary
“Promise me something, Siri.”
“Anything,” Sirius said quickly. There was nothing he would be unwilling to do for Euphemia Potter. He owed the Potters everything.
“Don’t let James run off and marry her without telling him how you feel.”
Sirius froze, shock rendering him momentarily speechless. Effie just stared at him, eyes brimming with soft understanding.
“I - I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Sirius stammered.
She raised an eyebrow. “I think you do.”
***
After Hogwarts, everything is perfect for James Potter and Sirius Black – best friends, roommates, and now partners in the Ministry’s Auror training program. But with the spectre of war looming, Sirius seems determined to put himself in danger and James finds himself wrestling with increasingly intense feelings for his best friend.
Or, James and Sirius realise they are far more than platonic soulmates.
A slow-burn, post-Hogwarts, Marauder Era story filled with angst, fluff, unhinged pining, unprofessional workplace behaviour, and shameless meddling from Effie and Monty Potter.
