    Summary

    "Eddie?" Shannon picks up on the fourth ring. "Everything okay?"

    "I kissed a man," he says.

    The silence on the other end stretches for nine thousand years. Eddie can hear Shannon breathing. He can hear his own heartbeat slamming against his ribs. He stares at the apartment building through his windshield, at the lit window on the fourth floor that might belong to E. Buckley, and waits for his ex-wife to say literally anything at all.

    "You what?"

    "I kissed a man, Shannon. Just now. I was delivering food and he opened the door and I just— I kissed him. On the mouth. And I don't know why."

    Another silence. Then a sound Eddie recognizes with dawning horror as Shannon trying very, very hard to suppress a laugh.

    "Shannon."

    "I'm processing."

    "You're laughing."

    "I'm processing." She fails spectacularly. "I'm sorry, I just— you kissed a man? Edmundo Diaz? The same Edmundo Diaz who wouldn't watch Brokeback Mountain with me because it made him 'uncomfortable'?"

    "It did make me uncomfortable!"

    "Yeah, Eddie, I'm starting to understand why."

    Or,
    Being kissed by your Uber Eats delivery driver? Worse things have happened.

    Summary

    Matthew laughs, a crowing, gleeful sound. “You got it, friend. But, true lucid dreaming is something only the boss of this place can make happen.”

    Hob nods. ”Oh well. It’s been fun to learn about.”

    ”Why did you decide to try to learn more about your dreams?”

    “It was my friend. He told me he would meet me in his dreams, and I guess I took that literally?”

    Matthew snorts. “Your friend? I mean, they were obviously flirting with you, my man, because that sounds like a come on in every sense of the world,” Matthew says with what would be a smile, if he had lips.

    ***
    After an off handed comment from his Stranger, Hob decides to learn to lucid dream. He dreams up a pub, and imagines some very strange customers: a talking Raven, a Pumpkin headed man, and a beautiful winged woman. Acting as bartender, he advises his dream friends about how to cheer up their boss, while they also advise him on how to approach his oldest friend, who he just might be in love with. But when the king of the dream realm decides to visit this peculiar institution, Hob might be in for more than he ever dreamed of…
