Summary
Herbert has the house to himself. Dan had received a call that a distant relative died and left him everything, so he left for a week to take care of it. Since Herbert and Dan met 5 years ago, they have never gone more than a day without seeing each other. In fact, they’re so close, it had driven them to insanity multiple times; the only thing worse than that is being apart.
About a week. 7.37 days. 177 hours. 10,620 minutes. 637,200 seconds. But it’s not like Herbert’s counting.

Summary
Sex is important to Dan. The work is important to Herbert. All he needs to do is build some positive associates between the two to get a more compliant assistant. And when he notices that Dan seems to have some kind of… reaction to Herbert’s hands in exam gloves, he finds a way to use it to his advantage.

Summary
Dan asked Herbert the same question again one night, playing with his fingers in bed. “Am I going to Hell?”
Herbert had sighed tiredly. They’d been over this. At this point, Dan should have made his peace; he’d either punish himself until the end of his days, or he’d set himself free. Herbert was sick of the attention afforded to this particular fallacy, anyway. And yet, that night, he chose a new answer.
“Who knows,” Herbert said, “but I’ll be there, too.”
He expected a spark of fear in Dan’s eyes, but instead, he saw only relief. Dan pressed Herbert’s hand to his mouth.
Now, 9 months later, sitting alone in the cold basement, just one floor below Dan and his perfect girlfriend, Herbert would like to change his answer.

Summary
Crawford should be dead. Whatever was done to him killed—or broke—everyone before him. He survived, but not unmarked, something fractured humming beneath his skin, a reminder that survival isn’t the same as escape. The world didn’t reward his endurance; it wore him down until selling what remained felt easier than fighting.
Dan is a wealthy heir with a savior’s reputation and a ruthless edge. He rebuilds failing hospitals when they’re worth saving and dismantles them when they aren’t, using control to live with the one life he couldn’t save. Their meeting isn’t coincidence. Dan falls hard for Crawford, drawn to his sharpness, his resilience, the way he keeps moving even as something unseen pulls at him from the dark. The experiment that changed Crawford never truly ended—it’s waking up again, bending reality in quiet, terrible ways. Dan wants to believe this time will be different, but cosmic forces don’t care about redemption or good intentions. The question isn’t whether Dan will risk everything for Crawford—it’s whether saving him will cost Dan his soul, or whether Crawford was never meant to be saved at all. -

Summary
There's a new girl living in the town of Arkham, Massachusetts. There's something strange about this new girl that the citizens of Arkham find odd. Could it be her strange appearance? The fact she just randomly showed up one day? Or is it because she's being raised by two men?
_Herbert steals the dead body of an eleven year old girl to reanimate and raise her as his and Dan’s daughter. But they're not a couple. No, they're definitely just roommates. Just two men raising a child together.

Summary
Dan can't cope with the death of his fiancée, and seeks solace in the bottom of the bottle. One night he does so at a bar he's never been to and meets the woman of his dreams, Betty.
Herbert can't look him in the eyes the next day. What an odd coincidence.Formerly called 'I Need You To See Me For What I Have Become', but the title felt long so, inspired by 'Andrew in Drag', the song I listened to while writing this, this work has a new name.

Summary
Herbert willed his eyes open. Without his glasses, his vision was slightly blurred, but he could still make out the achingly fond smile on Dan’s face. “I’m awake.”
“Barely,” Dan laughed, but he was cut off by a yawn.
Herbert yawned in kind. Afterwards, they both looked at each other, fondness blooming from the inside out, warmer than the burning water that pounded them both. Once Herbert had accepted he would be forced to rest, he’d always let the exhaustion consume him and allow it to show. Herbert reached up and tapped the back of Dan’s neck. Dan leaned forward, letting Herbert reach to wash his hair in return. Dan always felt slightly honored whenever Herbert deigned to return the intimacy Dan offered.
As they stood there, the streaks of blood that had splattered their bodies where the scrubs did not cover ran down their legs and turned the water at their feet a light pink, slowly swirling down the drain.
Herbert and Dan have been up working for 26 hours. Finally, they go to bed.
