Summary
Abdul Haqq Walid moved to London in August of 1980, alone but for a suitcase and a sense of optimism that the South, at least, would be warm-ish. Among the things he left behind - with varying levels of regret - were his family, the Kirk, three years of a bewilderingly fascinating and demanding medical degree, daily drinking, an earring, and a faintly distressing number of denim jackets festooned with proof of his adoration of the Clash, the Blockheads, and the Nips. From a distance, a sane adult observer would probably think that he and his cohort were all destined for burnout.
And then he met a wizard, and decided he wouldn’t leave for all the world.
2 - In which an encounter with a goblin convinces Abdul not to waste any more time.
3 - In which Thomas is shot, Abdul pulls receipts, and Peter kicks himself for being a blind idiot.Series

Dispel the Gloom, and Spread Immortal Day by akathecentimetre

Summary
Abdul had thought rather a lot in the hours since Thomas found him at what was left of his house about initiative, and bravery, and how to demonstrate love and trust in the most obvious and unmistakable of ways. And this, he thought – he hoped – this turning into Thomas while still half-asleep, with his body stirring into his warmth and making itself very clear that it was up for continuing from where they had left off before Abdul had had to sleep off the effects of being put through a fair bit of masonry – this, he hoped, was a good enough first step in proving all he felt.

Summary
“Right,” Abdul said calmly; he came into the bathroom and put a hand on Thomas’s back, the other gently wiping back hair from Thomas’s damp forehead. “Molly,” he called, “a cup of ginger tea, please, to go with the promethazine.”
“You are a horrible man,” Thomas said dully.

Summary
Thomas had walked in many a dream besides his own. He was never sure what to expect from Abdul's - certainly not an encounter in an alleyway behind a club blasting Chumbawumba (whatever that was).

Summary

Wilder'd on His Darksome Way by akathecentimetre

Summary
Abdul Walid learned everything he knew about PTSD – which was quite a lot – from taking care of Thomas Nightingale (who still insisted on saying ‘shell shock’ or ‘combat stress fatigue’ instead, but that was a battle for another day). Still, he had to admit that being sucked into a dream full of snow and blood and possibly-werewolves was a step right into the unknown.

Taught Why Now the Mighty Mass of Water Swells by akathecentimetre

Summary
"I've suddenly decided I don't want to," I announced.
The black waters of Loch Nell were keeping remarkably mum about my reticence as I stared down at them from the edge of the dock. The very deep, very dark, extremely perhaps life-threateningly cold waters of Loch Nell, as my brain saw fit to add. In December. In northern Scotland. Because maybe monsters.

Summary
Fatherhood had rather crept up on the both of them – if you could even call it that. The selkie and police officers in question might have had something to say about the idea of them being ‘parented,’ after all.

Summary
Peter and Abdul find the time for a heart-to-heart about dating the demimonde. Finding said time while trapped underneath a bombed-out section of UCH with a broken leg and a head wound between them isn't ideal, of course, but needs must.

Summary
There are many things that Abdul swore he would never do. Allowing Thomas to be too late is top of that list, and he'll be damned if he'll give the Faceless Man that satisfaction.
