Summary
That. Mug.
It's the first thing Alastor sees when he enters the ruins of his radio tower, the white ceramic stark against the dark wood and metal. This is the first time he's emerged from hiding in two days. It’s been two days since-
He snarls and shoves both hands in his hair, that miserable cocktail of regret and relief churning in his stomach for the umpteenth time. It's over. But also, it's over.
[Non-linear narrative piece because I challenged myself to hit all the prompts for RadioApple Week 2026 on each day with less than 1000 words per chapter.]

Calculus (or the study of instantaneous rates of change and the summation of infinitely small factors to make a whole) by Delta_Pavonis

Summary
Given how and where and when Alastor grew up, he generally doesn't consider himself bad at math. There are all sorts of combinations of sums and division and multiplication he can do without the assistance of an adding machine. He first learned the skill while helping his maman scale up and down amounts in the kitchen. He encountered it again as he started to read music and transpose compositions between different keys for different instruments. Then he honed said skill keeping a close eye on what he should be earning for his hours of work versus what white men tried to pay him, not to mention how tips got allocated out amongst band members. So between cooking and music and money, he’s rather competent day-to-day.
In this particular instance, however, Alastor can admit that he has vastly miscalculated.
_____________Alastor and Lucifer engage in a fake relationship in an attempt to fuck with Vox. It doesn't exactly go as planned.

Summary
They glance at each other for a moment and then Alastor is taking Lucifer’s hand again and dragging him down the street and into an old cemetery. They weave through rows of above ground tombs, snaking around until Alastor stops at a park-like center. He tugs Lucifer to sit down on a stone bench with him under an enormous old cypress tree, its branches heavy with curtains of Spanish moss. Neither lets go of the other's hand.
“The sun’s gonna come up soon,” Lucifer sighs after a while.
Alastor hums, just starting to get his breathing back under control. “Do you vanish at the first touch of the dawn’s rays?”
“Nah,” Lucifer chuckles. “Vampires aren’t real.”
Alastor's smile is softened by moonlight. “Says the Devil himself who sits beside me.”
This night has been far more wonderful than Lucifer could ever have anticipated. He hasn’t felt this good in… he doesn’t want to think about how long. And he knows he will soon have to return to his chaotic realm and his strained marriage and his lonely existence… but not yet. He doesn't have to leave just yet.

Summary
Adrian is walking up the stairs to the VIP deck of his favorite Berlin goth-industrial club when he catches a glimpse of acidic, glowing green. It is a color he associates with the vitality of sunlight shining through green leaves, with the elegance of light refracting through an emerald, with the seductive movement of a viper in the branches of a tree, and with one singular person.
He smiles to himself when he sees it again, just a blip of color out of the corner of his eye as he accepts his drink from the scantily-clad waitress who tends his usual booth. From within the C-shaped, luxuriously upholstered bench he can see the DJ and all of the dance floor; it has been an excellent place to get lost in loud noise and zone out people-watching, a place to have a drink and just turn off his brain and observe.
“Now who’s that smile for?”

Summary
Did His lips kiss here, too? Hob thinks as he trails his mouth down the strong jawline, now thick with a beard instead of the scruff of 1589. Why does He still visit you? Is it to torture me? That I may despair to find where His tongue lingered?

Summary
“And next up in Men’s Doubles, Carlos Moya and Rafael Nadal of Spain versus the surprise pairing of Rob Gadling and Morpheus Andlos for Great Britain.”
“And the surprise doesn’t seem to be going too well, John. Reporters and fans caught the doubles partners shouting at each other during practice just yesterday morning. That can’t be a good sign right before their opening match at the Olympic Games.”
“Definitely not, Gale. They’ve kept their partnership incredibly hush-hush over the past few months—yesterday was the first anyone had seen of them on court as a pair. While there were a few moments where they seemed to work well together, those were overshadowed by the visible tension between the two players.”
“I just wish I was in the room when they made that call: let’s partner the righty with the world’s most elegant one-handed backhand with the lefty whose two-handed shots absolutely pummel the ball across the court. What were they thinking?”
“You have just as much insight as I do.”
The tennis AU only one person asked for and I had to create. I hope there is enough here that if you know fuckall about tennis this will still be fun.

Summary
As soon as Doctor Morphos gets the door to his office closed he slumps back against it. His head hits the wood a moment later and he lets himself start to tremble.
So many emotions. All at once.
A little AU of what ~could~ have happened immediately after Chapter 9 of ShadowpuppetStoryteller's AU To Sleep Soundly. But you don't have to have read that to enjoy this!

Summary
You can really understand why people named our galaxy the Milky Way out here, the wisps of gas and dust pour out in a waterfall across the sky. Blacks and blues and dark purples and whites. Stars–blue-white and yellow-white and some almost orange–glitter across the entire sky.
The only sound for miles is the murmur of nocturnal wildlife. Even the wind has decided to go to bed.
Yeah, this is why he moved out here. There isn't a sign of another human for miles and miles and-
As he is literally thinking about the lack of people, the sound of a motor in the distance hits his awareness and he curses. “God fucking-”
It is getting louder.
Fast.

Summary
Yes, Hob is far too close. Close to the mark. Has anyone, anything, ever seen Dream like this? Not just observed him, but looked deep into his very nature? Understood him so? Has he ever been worthy of being treasured such?

Summary
A work in three parts: Part I is an expanded version of Dream's journey into Delirium's realm to set the stage, then Parts II and III take place immediately following the end of Season 2 Part 1 (episode 6).
From Part I:
He steps forward again and the music gives way to more primal sounds, leaving only a distant thumping bass to underscore the moans and wails and slaps of skin-on-skin. Apparently the momentary success of the ruse with Nada has pushed Delirium’s realm further down that path, and each pair, trio, and quadruplet of people are engaged in more explicit activities than the last. Dream steps slowly and deliberately through the masses, keeping his focus on the exit door and attempting to ignore the scenes around him.
But when he tunnels his vision, other sensory experiences come alive, burning so much brighter than just a moment before and assaulting his determination with blunt force.

Summary
Jayce keeps talking, but his voice fades into the background as Viktor's attention is hijacked by the pile of dirty clothes on the floor. Peeking out from between Jayce's discarded shirt and pants is what is quite obviously a skimpy piece of black lace underwear.

Summary
Viktor can feel the heat rising in his cheeks. It shouldn't remind him of… make him think of… He forces himself to look up.
Jayce is excited, gesturing in between each bit of knotwork and completely oblivious to the building turmoil within his partner. “So I found these books on mathematical knot theory in the Academy library and I suddenly thought that maybe we could use some of these ideas in how we chain runes together. And then I started looking at real knots and-”
That's where Viktor loses the thread, eyes drifting back to Jayce's hands. Which are still fidgeting.
Tying.
Untying.
A collection of maybe related Jayvik BDSM snippets.

Summary
Dream wants… so much. Too much. He wants to come up behind Hob and wrap his arms around his waist and hold him close. He wants to whisper in his ear that it is okay, that Dream still wants him, that he can come back. He wants to tell him how much he misses him and beg him to leave with him, leave the estate, leave his marriage, leave the country, leave the hemisphere.
Dream wants to grab Hob’s hair in his fist and pull his head back until he drops to his knees, then put a very specific ball gag in his mouth and remind him that the Prince of Stories never did release him from his service as Knight.

Summary
“So,” his smirk curls into something wicked, “what might we do to help you overcome this distraction that has plagued you in the lecture hall?” He slides along the edge of the desk until their calves are touching, running his good leg along Jayce's from knee to ankle. “Do you actually need remedial lessons? Or do you just need the opportunity to take your assessment without me in the room?”
Nothing could have prepared Jayce for Viktor being so forward. He isn't sad about it, to be clear; it cuts through a lot of bullshit and for that Jayce is grateful. It is refreshing. He’s still surprised. “Honestly?” Jayce looks up to the other man and softens his expression, risking that it might come off as goofily adoring. “I can't think straight when we're in the same room.”
Viktor's head tilts to the side and his eyes glitter like prisms in sunlight. He is gorgeous. “I certainly hope your thoughts about me aren’t straight.”

Summary
Never has he desired such carnal knowledge. Just as it had never occurred to him to even try to turn Trevor or Sypha or Greta, the idea of biting a lover hard enough to draw blood has always been anathema. Something to avoid at all costs. Something that would have been a gross breach of trust. Even if they had agreed to it. Which they hadn’t. None of them had gotten that violent in their play, although Adrian knew well enough that other humans–and therefore almost certainly vampires–did.
Of course, that line of thinking only looped Adrian around to the thought of bronze skin and lean muscles and fangs glinting in a delighted smile. Thoughts of that fucking cravat and how he had loosened it and what that neck would look like bare and wrapped in pale hands.
What would happen if Adrian drank from Olrox, god-blooded as he claims to be?
Fuck. He’s really gone around the bend, hasn’t he?

Summary
When Dream enters the New Inn he is not expecting to see Joanna Constantine, practitioner of magic and the spitting image of her forebear, with her head bowed over a short tumbler of amber liquid. He has not seen her since she assisted him in obtaining his sand. And it is not that he is unhappy to see her per se, but she is sitting in Hob’s usual seat.
Even more unexpected, is the wet sheen over her eyes when she looks up at him. “Dream,” her voice actually cracks on his name and that is when he knows that something is extremely, extraordinarily wrong. “It’s Robbie.”

Summary
Hob’s hand comes up and cups Dream's cheek, doesn't let him move too far away. “Is that because I am dreaming right now?” He smiles like he knows it isn't true, like he knows this is real but still can't quite believe it. Honestly, neither can Dream. “Or are you a dream?”
“That question,” Dream says as he leans minutely into Hob's touch, and oh look at how Hob's pupils dilate at that, “has a very complicated answer. One that I would give you. But not in such a public place.”
Watching Hob's expression soften, seeing his eyes look at Dream with such affection, is intoxicating. Dream wants to taste it.
So he does.

Summary
Hob cackles as he tucks the large hourglass under his arm and fucking runs.
“Oh, what the hell…” Dream drops the vase of flowers he had been planning on using as an improvised weapon and takes off after his partner. A partner who is rapidly climbing the rankings for stupidest sentient being Dream has ever known. “Gadling! What in the name of every god extant and extinct do you think you are doing?”
The half-elf startles for just a moment as Dream easily catches up to him despite his head start and the crowded market streets. “This is evidence, right?”
At this rate Dream is going to pull a muscle rolling his eyes at Hob. “We do not steal evidence! I do not have the least idea of where you learned how to be an investig–”
“Pirates!” He chirrups happily, skidding around a corner as horns start to sound the alarm throughout the resonant underground halls of the Duergar city.

Summary
Usually he doesn't get this deep into it. He always enjoys himself, enjoys his job, but it is rare these days that it cranks him up like this Dream has. But there is something about this creature that calls to him. Perhaps it is because Hob has always had such vivid dreams? But honestly, this was a foundational concept of the universe, the anthromorphization of the collective unconscious of all worlds, so it wouldn’t surprise Hob if every creature and every thing felt connected to him.
The information about the Lord of Dreams and King of Nightmares that had been made available to Hob before they met was uncharacteristically sparse.
