Summary
Aila was never a normal child. Being the offspring of Lucifer Morningstar was a guarantee of that, but only child of the devil or not doesn't change that her mother wants nothing to do with her - past, present or apparently future.
All Aila wants is to understand her place and purpose in the world - why she was born... prompting her to go in search of her father - a man that doesn't even know she exists. Of course, the last thing Aila expects is him to be an Endless - one without his memories.
But before she can even dive into that, she meets his nightmare, discovers her life and possible purpose far more intertwined with the Endless than not, and promptly - accidentally - sends herself and the Corinthian back to Greek times... where she'll get the chance to meet her entire family - and her brother.
Aila would have preferred to have been normal.

Summary
From the day he was declared Crown Prince, Morpheus has stood on a pedestal, with everyone who laid eyes on him treating him as something fragile—especially after an incident that left him scarred and wary. Morpheus has long since accepted his duties, and he has always been aware that they include him finding a wife of his station to bear him heirs.
The time for him to take on this responsibility comes in the form of the Summer Solstice Ball, where he is expected to choose and court a maiden from a noble family.
However, after an attack on his carriage leads to a chance encounter with a man named Hob Gadling, the Crown Prince finds that the path to his future has grown uncertain.
To Hob, Morpheus is the monarch he has sworn his life to protect. Beyond his solemn vow as a knight, he has grown to think of the prince as a trusted friend, and Hob would never do anything to cause him distress. So when he realises that there might be another reason for his devotion, Hob reminds himself of his place: he is a knight sworn to protect the Crown Prince. And his future queen and heirs. That is the only path laid out for him.

Summary
“Who are they?” Hob asked
Seventeen-year-old Hob Gadling hates Shakespeare, avoids his homework, and lives under the heavy weight of grief and an alcoholic father’s volatile moods. With his dreams of college slipping through his fingers, Hob’s only escape is the golden meadow beyond his backyard — a quiet, wild place where the world feels softer, and his pain a little more bearable.
But everything changes the day they move in.
The Edvardsens — a mysterious family of seven adopted siblings with strange names, stranger auras, and a mansion that’s been abandoned for decades — have arrived from London, trailing secrets, whispers of fame, and a history even older than Hob could guess. When he meets Death, radiant and self-possessed, something shifts. And when he finds him — the boy in black, reading alone in the meadow — Hob begins to feel like his story might finally be starting. -

Summary
Hob Gadling has lived through six centuries of history, and he’s collected more jobs than most people can imagine—mercenary, printer, pirate, mob boss, even a rock musician for a spell. But the one role that feels like home is the one he holds now: Professor Robin Golding, Medieval History, London.
Through lectures about chimneys and buttons, cups of tea at Nina’s café, banter with colleagues, and evenings in his pub, Hob reflects on the small things that shape lives. The inventions that go unnoticed, the food that feels miraculous after centuries of hunger, the city of London itself. And underneath it all, the quiet, stubborn hope that maybe one day his Stranger will walk through the door again.
A story about teaching, eating, laughing, waiting, and living—all the little things that keep Hob going.

Summary
E così fu: la voce di Calliope creò il suo nome; la mia accettazione di esso lo consacrò. Un nome che già conteneva la sua tragedia e la sua grandezza e non servì dire altro.
Il nome di Orfeo era stato scelto.
E con esso, il suo destino. -

Summary
He found her light irresistible. It shone brighter against his eyes than any sun, than any galaxy he traveled to. It intrigued him, both in body and mind. His body betrayed him though. Being drawn to her light awakened the most insatiable part of him, the overwhelming need to join with her, to pleasure her, to keep her all to himself.
He’d been here before and it did not end well. It became one of his biggest regrets in his eternal existence. Could he possibly let it happen again? He fortified himself, prepared to disappear and leave her and never return…

Summary
Alexandra is clairvoyant: an oracle, a prophet, a seer. The past and the future can coarse through her like electricity, and this is both a blessing and a curse. She is the only daughter of Morpheus, Dream of the Endless, who, until now, has been held captive by mortals. His release is her cue to spark the chain of events following a prophecy she has been keeping secret for millennia: the prophecy of her own father's death.
Knowing what is to come and being powerless to stop it, Alex takes the opportunity to spend what fleeting time they have left rekindling the once good relationship she had with Morpheus. This is easier said than done, of course, as they find themselves unknowingly competing for who can be more stubborn, proud, and emotionally walled off. It is only in confronting her own trauma, their shared grief, and facing the music that they can both come to terms with all that has and will yet come to pass.

It’s the same conversation they’ve been having for ten thousand years:— love, regret, denial, hope. It never ends, only changes shape.

Il mio grosso grasso Eterno matrimonio greco by SignoraCara

Tags
Summary
Grecia, 1700 a.C. Orfeo, figlio di Morfeo, avrebbe preferito un matrimonio intimo e romantico, ma Euridice sogna da sempre una cerimonia in grande stile.
Peccato che non abbia fatto i conti con la bizzarra famiglia del suo promesso sposo.
Divagazioni dall'episodio "La canzone di Orfeo", dato che di quel matrimonio non abbiamo visto praticamente niente se non Morfeo che non vuole ballare e Morte che sogghigna quando dicono "finchè zia non li separi". -
