Summary
Mike drains the last of his scotch, sets the glass down firmly on the top of the bar, and walks up to where Harvey and Jessica are saying goodbye. “I can’t do this anymore. I quit. I’m leaving the Serious train. I’m abandoning ship. I’m giving up. I’m surrendering. I’m walking out. I’m outta here. Have a nice life. Harvey, fuck you and your blonde-34C-legs up to here-very female-bartender-slash-model.”

Summary
After Kate’s refusal, Anthony Bridgerton finds himself adrift — until a single, startling letter from Miss Penelope Featherington lands on his desk. What begins as a simple request for discretion unfolds into a correspondence that changes them both: raw honesty, unguarded longing, and the slow undoing of two hearts that were never meant to meet on paper.
An epistolary one-shot. Anthony/Penelope. Post-Season 2 divergence.

Summary
What would happen if Hob Gadling landed on Orpheus’s mysterious island in the year 1800? What would unfold if he befriended that sad, despairing boy who thinks about death but still carries a spark of life within him? What if Hob decided to nurture that spark, returning every five years to show Orpheus that life is truly worth living?
After years of absence and avoiding his son, Dream of the Endless comes to ask Orpheus for help in finding his lost brother. He expects to hear a plea for death – because Orpheus begged for it for millennia. But this time it will be completely different – and it will be the King of Dreams who is shocked.
After all – like father, like son, right?
