Summary
“I’m fairly sure we can figure something out.”
The Cat King watched for any sign that his offer might be accepted, but instead bore witness as Edwin’s expression fell from well-practiced stoicism, to a shuttered, haunted look. Thomas parted his lips to suggest an alternative deal, but it was too late.
The damage was done.
///
Set during S1E2. Edwin’s private audience with the Cat King brings up past trauma neither are prepared for.

Summary
Hob Gadling, owner of the New Inn, finds a coat, forgotten on a chair, and without much thought, puts it away in the lost and found closet. Unbeknownst to him, the coat belongs to Selkie Dream, who, by the law of the sea, is forced to stay with Hob as long as he has his seal skin. Dream is understandably very unhappy with the situation and is determined to find his coat and escape from his cruel captor. Meanwhile, Hob is just trying to figure out why his handsome guest seems to hate his guts.

Summary
“What I’m saying is— I understand.”
He catches Dream’s hand in his. His touch is careful, soft like a summer breeze. It makes Dream’s breath catch somewhere under his breastbone.
“I know how it is to live against everyone’s expectations. How to live in spite of them.”
Dream stares at their intertwined fingers, feels Hob’s pulse in his fingertips. It’s a beautiful, quiet thing; it’s the first time he’s felt quiet in ages.
(Or: Dream de Endless was suppose to be his family’s most prized jewel, but when he is taken, he loses the last thing the world considered valuable about him. Broken down to his core, he does not expect anyone to want him again. Until Robert Gadling walks into his life.)

Summary
Hob has a routine for how he uses his tattooed, biker aesthetic to coax people into his bed, and tonight he knows who he’s going for the second he steps through the door. The man at the bar is just Hob’s type- lithe and pale, artfully messy black hair framing his face. Despite the warmth of the bar, he’s fully covered up, a black turtleneck hugging his body and leather gloves covering the hands tapping away at a laptop. Hob wants to peel the fabric off of him, wants to see that pretty white skin blush beneath his mouth.
Hob has no idea what he's getting into, but he knows it'll be worth it.
