Chapter 5: 26 Weeks
Today they have a rendezvous with Death.
Hob goes through his mental checklist: he’s put the kettle on and washed the nice cups—the ones for company—and the apple crumble he nabbed from the pub is warming in the oven. He fiddles with the charcuterie board he’s cobbled together, rearranging the cheeses, grapes, and little dishes of olives for the dozenth time this afternoon. He stands back to survey his work, then checks his watch. Almost time. It’ll have to do.
He’s got nothing to be nervous about, really. He’s always happy to see his sister-in-law, despite his aversion to her function, and he knows there’s no need to try and impress her (not that he’s put together a particularly impressive spread, although he hopes it comes across at least somewhat classy). Whatever news or offers she may have regarding their child’s mortality, she’ll let them know regardless of which cup her tea is served in. Even so, his stomach has been roiling all day, and he suspects the prickles of sweat on the back of his neck can’t be blamed on the fact that he’s got the oven on in this suffocating August heat.
He triple-checks that he flicked the kettle on and wipes his damp palms on a tea towel before making his way down the hall. He breathes a sigh of relief at the immediate drop in temperature as he steps into their newly air-conditioned bedroom, where he’s greeted with the sight of his husband frowning at the full-length mirror and fussing with the hem of his shirt. Hob meets his eyes in the reflection as he settles behind him, pressing a kiss to his temple.
Morpheus is wearing all black today, he notices. Hob isn’t sure what to make of that, or if there’s anything to make of it at all. It’s not his old uniform of skinny jeans, dramatic coat, and Doc Martens, but he still cuts a striking figure in his soft black joggers and flowy tunic accented with abstract splashes of gold and silver.
“Hey there, handsome,” Hob smiles. “All set?”
(Continue reading below or on ao3)
Morpheus gulps and nods. “Yes. I believe so.”
He’s looking more than a bit peaky, and under any other circumstances Hob would suggest they cancel their plans, even at the risk of suffering the wrathful pout Morpheus would no doubt inflict upon him for daring to presume any weakness in his constitution. But this is important, and they’ve already put it off long enough. This will be Morpheus’ first time seeing his sister since last Christmas; Death keeps a very busy schedule, and Morpheus has been reluctant to call on her for reasons that Hob mostly understands, though he may not fully agree with all of them.
“It’s going to be fine, love. I know it will,” Hob says, stroking and cradling his husband’s belly in an attempt to reassure them both. “Whatever happens, we’re in this together, eh?”
Morpheus nods again, sighs resolutely, and shuffles to the chest of drawers where he keeps his makeshift “gallery,” which consists of an ornate antique jewelry box filled with an array of trinkets they picked up at a flea market. The whole thing is adorable, in Hob’s opinion. There’s a tiny leather-bound notebook, a silver ankh pendant, a tarnished gold heart-shaped locket that neither of them ever managed to open, a single earring with a stylized fish hook, and a large glass marble swirled with a psychedelic rainbow of clashing day-glo colors. No need for Dream’s sigil (where would they even find anything like it?) as Morpheus is a natural lucid dreamer and could easily contact Daniel if he ever needed to. Not that he often calls on any of them, but Hob knows that he feels more secure having the option.
Morpheus removes the ankh from the box and sets it on top of the chest of drawers, staring intently at it as he drums his fingers on the wooden surface. Not quite ready then, evidently. Hob stills his restless fingers by taking his hand—he’s shaking, poor darling—and wrapping him in a hug, gently rocking them from side to side.
He may try to hide it, but it’s obvious to Hob that Morpheus is a nervous wreck. His morning sickness has lasted well into the afternoon, and he’s been hovering restlessly around the flat all day—fidgeting, tidying this and rearranging that, checking his hair every ten minutes, and so on. He’s afraid. Hob empathizes; they’re finally getting an answer to the question that’s been hanging over them for months. What if it’s not the answer they want to hear?
But besides that, Morpheus is apparently worried that Death will scold him or generally disapprove of his recent life choices. It’s quite sweet, really, the way he holds his sister in such high esteem. And it’s understandable; Death is absolutely lovely—when he finally met her for the first time, Hob had been pleasantly surprised to find that he liked her right away. Even more shockingly, she liked him too, despite all the things he’s said about her over the years. He’d felt like a right tit apologizing for calling her stupid, but she’d only laughed and told him he had been forgiven the moment he made her brother smile.
So Hob doesn’t quite share his husband’s fear; he can’t imagine that Death will be anything but happy for them. Morpheus firmly believes he’s done some great wrong just by living his bloody life—the same life his sister enthusiastically bestowed on him specifically so he could finally live after countless lonely, miserable eons of being slowly crushed under the weight of his duties. It’s like—what’s that thing his students are always saying? Like he’s trying to get a good grade in being human, something that’s both normal to want and possible to achieve.
It doesn’t matter whether or not Morpheus’ fear is rational, though. Either way, it’s clearly eating him up inside; he’s so tense, the muscles in his back taut and rigid, unwilling to be soothed as Hob runs his hands up and down his spine. “I can’t do this,” he mumbles into Hob’s neck.
“Oh, sweetheart. You can. I know you can,” Hob whispers, bringing one hand up to the back of his head and caressing his silken hair. “My strong, brave, beautiful husband. You’ve got this, dove.”
Hob pulls back just enough to give Morpheus the most encouraging smile he can muster, although it’s probably not all that convincing. Even if he’s not anticipating a dressing-down from Death, Hob can’t help but be a bit wary of her. As much as he likes Death the Person, his distaste for Death the Actual Thing is so deeply ingrained as to be instinctual, and he’s always a little on edge before her visits. And then there’s that thought he’s been trying in vain to bury for the past four months, clawing its way to the surface once more.
What if the baby is mortal? What if they have to bury another child someday?
Well. They’ll find out, won’t they? Better to rip the band-aid off now. Hob presses himself against his husband and breathes deeply, encouraging him to do the same. “Breathe with me, love. That’s it. I’ve got you, darling. Whatever happens, I’ve got you.”
Morpheus heaves a shuddering breath before extricating himself from Hob’s embrace and picking up the ankh again. “Sister,” he murmurs, his lips barely moving. “I hold your sigil—”
His invocation is interrupted by a deafening whoosh of wind followed by a flurry of wings, like a bevy of doves startled into sudden flight.
“I’m here!” a cheery voice calls out from the sitting room.
Morpheus gives Hob a pleading look, and Hob strokes his trembling shoulders with sweaty palms. “I’ve got you,” he repeats, leaning in to kiss the deep furrow between his husband’s brows.
There’s a noise from behind them—a faint huff of laughter followed by a tiny “aww.” Hob turns to see a kind face surrounded by a profusion of sable curls peeking through the bedroom door.
“Will you lovebirds get out here?” Death grins, sighing in mock exasperation. “As adorable as this is, I’m afraid I haven’t got much time to spare.”
Hob feels his neck flushing with embarrassment, and Morpheus looks like a deer caught in the headlights after having just sucked on a lemon. He opens his mouth to rejoin, but before he can speak, a shrill beep sounds from down the hall.
“Ah. That’ll be the crumble,” Hob says sheepishly. “I’ll just go and fix the tea while you two get settled, yeah?” He squeezes his husband’s arm apologetically before heading towards the kitchen. On his way out the door, he ducks to give his sister-in-law a friendly peck on the cheek. “Good to see you again, love. How’ve you been?”
“A bit worried about my brother,” she replies. “But I see that he’s in good hands.” She turns to Morpheus, beaming as she takes his hands in her own and surveys him up and down. “Look at you! I hardly recognize you, little brother,” she coos. “You look so…”
“Pregnant?” Morpheus deadpans.
“Alive!” she laughs, putting an arm around his back and herding him towards the sitting room. “Human! You look great, Morpheus. You really do.” Morpheus scoffs, but does not hold back the small, pleased smile that creeps onto his face as he lets his sister drag him to the sofa.
Most of Hob's worry drains away at Death's enthusiastic reaction, bleeding out of him like the inky clouds seeping into steaming water as he makes the tea. He hopes his husband is feeling the same. Morpheus rarely talks about it, but Hob knows he still feels awful about Orpheus, and about Daniel and Lyta, and a thousand other things. And he thinks his sister is going to tell him he’s wrong for starting a new family after all that. Hob gets it, he really does. He often wonders what Eleanor and Robyn would say if they could see him now. Would they be hurt that he’s “replacing” them? Would they hate him? And what would they say about all the other cruel, horrific, unforgivable things he’s done? Someone like him probably shouldn’t have a family at all…
He exhales heavily, shaking his head as he loads up a tray with their tea and nibbles. Now is not the time to go down that road.
He walks into the sitting room just in time to see Death giving her brother a playful punch to the arm before pulling him in for a hug. “...No, you idiot! Of course I’m happy for you! And it’s obvious you’re happy, so stop moping, will you?” she huffs, clutching his narrow shoulders tightly.
“Thank you, my sister,” Morpheus mutters bashfully. “As usual, your words are a balm to my conscience.”
Hob can only stand in the doorway, grinning and shrieking internally at how cute they are. His anxiety dissipates further at seeing his husband so obviously relieved; just as he suspected, Morpheus had no need to worry about any judgment on Death’s part. Hob is so caught up in witnessing this rare display of Endless sibling affection that he momentarily forgets the reason for his sister-in-law’s visit and the very real possibility that she may have bad news for them.
He ambles over to the sofa, only spilling a few drops of tea as he sets the tray on the coffee table. “Tea and a bite to eat, if anyone’s interested,” Hob announces, furtively scanning the room to be sure he didn’t miss any of Morpheus’ risqué artwork when he tidied up earlier. Fortunately, the only paintings visible are perfectly inoffensive sunsets and still lifes, and Hob feels slightly more at ease as he nestles into his husband’s side. He doesn’t fail to notice the way Morpheus melts into him, the knots in his shoulders unwinding as Hob slings his arm around him.
“Thank you, Hob. This looks lovely,” Death says, taking her tea and a generous portion of the crumble. “So,” she continues after taking a bite, glancing between them with a ‘let’s get down to brass tacks’ expression on her face. Right, this is it, Hob thinks, tightening his grip on his husband’s shoulder. “Are you having a baby shower?”
“Er…” Hob begins, just as Morpheus splutters and nearly chokes on his tea. Not what either of them expected her to say, evidently. “We hadn’t planned on it,” he says dimly, looking at his husband and finding him equally nonplussed.
“But you have to have one!” Death insists. “It’s been ages since you’ve seen the rest of the family, and they’re all excited about their new niece or nephew. Del’s been beside herself. Literally; you know how she gets. And everyone in the Dreaming—”
“Sister,” Morpheus interrupts, rolling his eyes in amusement, “I do not think that will be necessary.”
“It’s sweet, but we really don’t need any more baby stuff,” Hob chimes in, hoping to rescue his husband from the mortifying ordeal of spending time with family. While it sounds like quite a nice idea to Hob, he knows Morpheus has been less keen than ever on socializing lately (which is saying something; it’s getting to be concerning, really). “Suze—er, friend of ours, think you met her at the Christmas party—anyway, she’s given us loads of things her grandkids have outgrown. We’ve already got more than we know what to do with.”
“Nonsense,” Death asserts. “I’ll talk to Lucienne about it. I’d throw it in my realm, but it doesn’t exactly have the right atmosphere for a baby shower, you know? I’m sure Daniel won’t mind us having a little get-together in the Dreaming.”
“I don’t suppose I have any say in this,” Morpheus says wearily.
“Nope!” his sister replies brightly.
“Very well,” Morpheus grumbles, looking resigned as he nibbles a morsel of Gouda. “As long as you promise it will indeed be only a ‘little get-together.’”
“Of course! Just the family and inner circle; forty, fifty people tops.”
Morpheus groans dramatically and throws his head back against the cushions, and Hob can’t hold back his snort of laughter. It’s absurdly endearing, the way they act like a pair of perfectly normal human siblings; anyone else witnessing this conversation would never guess that one’s an all-powerful cosmic being and the other used to be just as cosmic and all-powerful.
“Well, I think it sounds wonderful. Thanks, D,” Hob says, earning him a betrayed glare from his husband. Hob shrugs and smiles ruefully at him. It would do Morpheus good to get out of the flat, although if the party’s in the Dreaming they technically won’t be leaving their bed—which, come to think of it, might actually convince him to go along with it. And it would be rude to reject the offer, especially when their child’s future might be hanging in the balance. Speaking of which, Hob is eager to get that conversation over with, but he’s not sure how exactly he should broach the subject. “So, er…”
“You want to know if the baby will be denied my gift,” Death says gently.
Morpheus stiffens in Hob’s embrace. Hob gulps. “Yeah, well, we’ve er. Been wondering, is all. Will—I mean, should the baby be immortal? Don’t imagine there’s much precedent for this sort of thing, is there?” he chuckles, tugging nervously at his ear.
“You’d be surprised,” she smirks. “How about this: the baby will grow up normally, the same as any other human child, and they’ll have my protection until they’re old enough to decide what they want. Then it will be up to them whether or not they want to live forever. They’ll get the same deal I’ve given the two of you unless they choose otherwise. And they may choose to be mortal; you’ll have to be prepared for that possibility.”
Hob lets out a shaky breath. Right. That seems fair. Death’s offer is simultaneously a load off his mind and a whole new source of worry. He can’t imagine any child of his would choose not to live forever, but he supposes it would only be right to give them the option. And at least now they can take solace in the fact that they know what to expect.
Hob takes his husband’s hand and meets his eyes, raising his eyebrows in silent query. Morpheus responds with a tiny, almost imperceptible nod. All good, then.
“Thank you, sister. That is a generous offer, and a great comfort,” he pronounces.
“Yeah, that’s—that’s really good to hear,” Hob agrees. “Thank you, Death. Er, I don’t know how we can repay you, but—”
“Don’t be silly,” Death interjects with a wave of her hand. “You’re family. You don’t owe me anything. So. Now that that’s taken care of, tell me, how are you handling prenatal care? Have you been going to Eileithyia again?”
“Yes,” Morpheus says shortly, suddenly taciturn once more. He pops an olive into his mouth, apparently unwilling to elaborate further. It’s still an understandably sore subject, which Death is well aware of, and Hob feels a flash of mild irritation with his sister-in-law for bringing it up.
“She’s been coming to us, actually. Can’t beat the convenience,” Hob chimes in, awkwardly attempting to lighten the mood.
“Good. I’m glad to hear it,” Death replies. “She’s the best there is—on Earth, anyway—and it’s good that you’re mending fences.”
Morpheus scowls at that but doesn’t dispute her words, and Hob squeezes his hand in a silent show of support. He’s glad, too, that his husband just happened to know the ideal person to help them with their medical dilemma, even if they weren’t on the best of terms to start with. Because of course he knows the actual Greek goddess of childbirth and midwifery, and of course there was bad blood between them.
“What do you mean we can’t ask her? She sounds perfect.”
For weeks now, Hob has been agonizing over finding a doctor with a halfway-decent bedside manner who can treat Morpheus and the baby under the radar without asking too many questions. Morpheus hasn’t been much help; if he had his way, they’d avoid that whole mess altogether and he’d lock himself in the bedroom to give birth alone, like a stray cat. So Hob has had his work cut out for him.
And now his husband is presenting him with the answer to all their problems, yet he’s saying they can’t go to her. There’s a story here, Hob’s sure of it, but he’s a little afraid to hear it. “What happened, dove?” he asks softly.
Morpheus sighs—a heavy, creaking thing like an ancient tree toppling over. “She delivered Orpheus,” he murmurs, so quietly that Hob can scarcely hear him over the muffled din of the crowd downstairs. “She is a lady-in-waiting to the Kindly Ones. And a sister of Calliope.”
Ah. Hob can see how that would complicate things. Still, he’s been racking his brain trying to come up with a better solution and consistently coming up blank. “I understand, darling, but are you sure—”
"There is more,” Morpheus interrupts, staring down at his lap. “She—I… sent a dream to her. A portent of things to come. Her son was to be offered up as a champion in battle. Sosipolis—the child—he… he was only a babe, still at his mother’s breast. I…” he trails off, his voice rough.
“Oh, love,” Hob whispers, taking his husband’s hand and intertwining their fingers.
“It was not my wish for him to die. You must understand,” Morpheus pleads, still not meeting Hob’s eyes, “visions of the future are on the border between dreams and Destiny. I was, in essence, only an unwitting messenger—less than that; I was… merely the paper on which the message was written. Nevertheless…”
“Sweetheart,” Hob says, bringing his hand to his husband’s chin and lifting it to look him in the eye, “I know I’m biased, but this sounds like another one of those stories where you blame yourself for something that wasn’t your fault. Like you said, you were only the messenger. Besides, she chose to do what the dream told her, so it sounds like that was on her.”
“She is a servant of the Fates. She would be a fool to ignore Destiny.”
“Well, then maybe she ought to have taken it up with him,” Hob replies, a bit more harshly than he’d intended. He’s only met Destiny once, and he didn’t much care for him. No sense of humor whatsoever on that one, and he apparently has a history of letting Morpheus take the blame for things that have little to do with him.
“Even so. I… could have been kinder to her.” Morpheus sighs and shakes his head. “When the battle began, the child was transformed into an enormous serpent, and the invaders fled in fear. The serpent survived, but… it was no longer Sosipolis. Not in any way that mattered. Eileithyia came to me then, grief-stricken and enraged. I took no responsibility for my part in her tragedy. Even the boon I offered her was a paltry consolation; I told her to kill the serpent, and her son’s soul would live on in the Dreaming. He would remain a child, and she would never again see him in the Waking World. It was not in my power to offer her more.”
Recognition dawns on Hob as he listens to Morpheus’ tale. He vaguely recalls reading this story in some mythology textbook or other—the bit about the boy turning into a serpent rings a bell, anyway—although at the time, of course, he’d had no idea of his then-stranger-now-husband’s role in the whole thing. It’s always a bit mind-boggling to hear about all the legends, historical events, and even celestial phenomena he’s been involved in, especially when Morpheus talks about them like they happened down the road last Tuesday. Hob is never quite sure what to say, and now is no different.
“Er, that… that just sounds like a tough situation all around, love. And it sounds like you tried to make the best of it; hell, I’d have taken you up on the offer if I were her,” Hob says, rubbing his thumb over his husband’s bony knuckles.
“She did not share your sentiments. She was insulted by the proposition, and she… she told me that she hoped I would know the same pain one day.” Morpheus sniffs and smirks bitterly, his lower lip trembling. “I suppose she ultimately got her wish. In her grief, she eventually killed the serpent. She took some comfort in the dreams of her son, but it was not the same. He was not as he should have been. He should have lived, he…” his voice wobbles as he trails off, and Hob finds himself blinking back tears as he pulls him close, stroking up and down his back.
It doesn’t take a genius to see the parallels to Orpheus, and to Daniel. Hob thinks of Robyn, of the daughter who died before she could ever live, of the child he left behind and never knew. A tangled thread of grief and regret that winds through both of their lives, the same story cropping up again and again… It can’t go that way this time. He won’t let it.
“I’m so sorry, dove. You’re right, things didn’t turn out the way they should’ve. But you did your best. And I understand why you don’t want to ask her for help. We’ll find someone else, I promise.”
In the end, the best candidate Hob managed to find had been a veterinarian with a discreet side practice treating human patients. When he had brought it up to Morpheus, well… if looks could kill and Hob could die, he’d have been reduced to a pile of ash on the spot. He’d almost made a joke about the vet being perfect for his angry cat of a husband, but he didn’t fancy sleeping on the sofa for the next century, so he’d kept his mouth shut.
“I suppose,” Morpheus had conceded through gritted teeth, “I would be willing to speak to Eileithyia. If there is truly no better option.”
Contacting the goddess turned out to be fairly straightforward. Morpheus called on her in much the same way he would call one of his siblings, while holding a talisman that Hob didn’t recognize from the gallery—a small stone figurine that looked a bit like the Venus of Willendorf, apparently the same one he used when he was pregnant with Orpheus. Hob had found it touching that he’d kept it all this time, although Morpheus admitted he hadn’t actually held onto it and had retrieved it from his own dreams with some help from Lucienne. To Hob’s credit, he had only been slightly mystified at this pronouncement and made a mental note to remember that trick the next time he loses his keys.
Eileithyia—who now runs a small private practice in Thessaloniki for people going through difficult pregnancies—had graciously responded to Morpheus’ call and agreed to meet with them at the pub that weekend.
“I’m nervous. Are you nervous?” Hob asks, his leg bouncing involuntarily beneath the table. Not their usual table, but a booth in the back where they will, in theory, have a modicum of privacy.
“For the third time, yes,” Morpheus sighs beside him.
“Sorry, I’m just—”
“Don’t say nervous,” Morpheus snaps. He looks perfectly composed, his shoulders straight and his face that familiar old mask of aloof neutrality that had taken Hob centuries to crack, but Hob knows his husband would rather be literally anywhere else right now (including Hell, probably).
“Sorry,” Hob mutters, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly. Morpheus gently bumps Hob’s shoulder with his own, and Hob smiles and knocks their knees together in reply.
They sit there in silence for a few long, tense minutes. Hob sips his beer while Morpheus barely touches his lemonade. Hob has never been a particularly introspective bloke, but he’s been making a sincere effort to be better about that, which is exactly why he’s now frantically trying to calculate how he should behave around the literal goddess they’ll be meeting. What’s the right combination of deference, gratitude, and affected nonchalance to avoid embarrassing his husband and himself? He ought to be used to this sort of thing by now, but the giddy thrill of meeting divine beings in pubs never really wears off.
Before he can overthink it any further, a woman slides into the seat across from them. She’s beautiful, in a surprisingly down-to-earth way, and looks casually sophisticated in her long white blouse and loose-cut trousers. She looks like any other middle-aged woman, so much so that Hob is about to politely inform her that they’re actually saving that seat, when—
“Eileithyia,” Morpheus says. “Thank you for coming.”
“Oneiros,” she responds with a curt nod. “You look well.”
“Robert Gadling—er, call me Hob. We really appreciate you coming all this way,” Hob interjects, reaching his hand out before wondering, a split second too late, if Greek gods shake hands or if he looks like an arsehole right now. Fortunately, Eileithyia grasps his hand across the table and shakes it firmly while giving him an appraising look.
“A pleasure to meet you, Hob Gadling. You are the father, I presume?” she asks. Her voice is low and pleasantly accented, with an authoritative and decidedly maternal tone to it.
“Guilty as charged, ma’am,” Hob replies with an awkward laugh.
Suze appears and takes the goddess’ drink order (black coffee), cheerfully oblivious to the fact that she’s speaking to a millennia-old deity, and once she’s gone Eileithyia leans back in her seat, folding her arms on the table. She seems a very no-nonsense sort of person, with shrewd hazel eyes and salt-and-pepper hair swept back into an elegant bun. Nevertheless, her stern gaze is softened by laugh lines, and she actually reminds Hob a bit of his own mother, what little he remembers of her. Formidable, but kind.
Right now, she appears to be waiting for one of them to say something. She doesn’t exactly look happy to be here, but the fact that she was willing to come all the way from Greece must be a good sign, right? Even if she did magically teleport.
Hob clears his throat to begin making awkward small talk, but Morpheus speaks first. “Eileithyia. I… owe you an apology. I am. Sorry,” he says haltingly, like the words are being wrenched from him against his will.
Eileithyia raises her eyebrows. “I have never known you to apologize to anyone. It seems Calliope spoke truly. You have changed, Oneiros.”
Morpheus blanches at the mention of his ex-wife, but he nods and cracks a wry half-smile. “Indeed. I have experienced several significant changes as of late.”
Eileithyia’s face softens as her eyes drift down to Morpheus’ midsection, just barely beginning to swell, and Hob can’t hold back the proud grin that blooms on his face. It’s true—Morpheus has changed, for the better in Hob’s opinion. And he knows very well how hard it is for his husband to apologize; the man’s held grudges for billions of years, so this is big.
“Very well. Apology accepted,” the goddess declares. “In truth, I forgave you long ago. Besides,” she adds gently, “my feud was with Dream of the Endless, and you are no longer that.”
Morpheus’ shoulders sag, in relief or regret or maybe both. “I— thank you. That means… a great deal,” he murmurs.
“So, will you be able to help us, then?” Hob asks.
Eileithyia takes a long sip of coffee before answering. “My abilities are much diminished. There are fewer and fewer worshipers; my shrines have fallen into ruin. However, as long as there are those who pray for a safe pregnancy, I retain some of my power.” Hob nods as she speaks, as if this is a perfectly normal conversation, one that he fully understands and that doesn’t sound like a passage from Homer. “Regardless,” she shrugs, “I am also a certified midwife. I doubt there will be much need for divine intervention.”
“Well, even so, you’ve got at least one new acolyte,” Hob chuckles. “I’ll be lighting a candle every day, or… making an offering? Er, how does this work, exactly?”
“I also take cash,” she says, smiling for the first time since her arrival. “But only in euros. None of your funny English money.”
Hob bursts into surprised laughter. “Yeah, alright, we can do that,” he says, shaking his head in bemusement.
“You are sixteen and a half weeks along,” the goddess says, turning to Morpheus. “We’ll start with visits every four weeks. I will come to you; I imagine that will be simpler than you coming to Thessaloniki. You can accommodate a home birth?”
“I—Yes. That… that would be ideal,” Morpheus replies, looking rather nonplussed.
“Good. We will increase to bi-monthly visits in the third trimester. Possibly once a week if there are any complications, though I don’t sense anything now.” Eileithyia looks Morpheus up and down, tapping her chin thoughtfully. “It’s not twins. Do you want to know the sex?”
Hob gapes at her. “You can tell all that just from looking? And you say your powers are diminished?” The goddess simply smirks and shrugs in reply.
“We would prefer not to know the sex,” Morpheus says, and Hob nods in agreement. “Thank you, Eileithyia. Truly. I… I was not sure you would be willing to speak to me again.”
“I would not turn down an expecting parent in need,” Eileithyia assures him. “I am glad you called for me.”
“I’ve got to say, this is all just fantastic news. We’ve been tearing our hair out trying to find a doctor, so we’re really grateful for your help. What a relief, eh darling?” Hob beams, putting an arm around his husband’s shoulders.
Eileithyia surveys the both of them, her expression thawing into something tender and wistful. “Your man cares deeply for you, Oneiros. I am happy for you.”
Morpheus smiles—a full, broad smile that shows his teeth and lights up his whole face. “Yes,” he replies softly, tilting his head to face Hob. “He is a good man. I am lucky to have him.”
“Well, I don’t know about all that,” Hob splutters, his face heating as he tugs at his ear with his free hand. “I’m the lucky one.”
They hammer out the finer details of the agreement, and Hob can feel his husband relaxing further with each question that’s answered. Apparently fathers are not typically welcome at appointments—something about sacred mysteries and arcane knowledge or some such—which Hob isn’t thrilled about, but they at least manage to talk Eileithyia into letting him be present at the birth.
After they’ve discussed and planned and finished their drinks, a muffled chime sounds from somewhere nearby. The goddess pulls a mobile phone from her pocket and frowns at it. “Ah. A patient is going into labor. I must be going.”
The two men thank her again and say their goodbyes, and as she turns to leave Morpheus calls out to her. “Eileithyia, I… If you speak to Calliope before I do, would you… give her my regards?”
Eileithyia nods and smiles warmly at him before vanishing into the crowd.
So everything worked out brilliantly after all, and Hob couldn’t be prouder of Morpheus for burying that two-thousand-year-old hatchet.
“Yeah, Eileithyia’s been a life-saver,” Hob says, nodding in agreement with his sister-in-law. “If it weren’t for her, we would’ve had to go with one of my, er… underground contacts. And they’re all either glorified drug dealers or so-called ‘doctors’ with questionable credentials whose usual gigs involve extracting bullets from mobsters. And of course anything through the NHS is out of the question.”
“Of course. Can’t have your secret getting out,” Death winks.
“Too right,” Hob agrees before downing the last of his tea. It’s a relief talking to someone who understands. “Only it’s a bit frustrating; not like we can tell any of our friends the real reason we’ve got a midwife making house calls instead of going to an obstetrician like normal people living in the 21st century. Suze keeps trying to talk us out of having a home birth. I think now she thinks we’re just artsy-granola-hippie types. What was it she was asking you the other day, darling?”
“She was impressing upon me the importance of vaccinating the baby,” Morpheus replies. “And reminding me that there is no shame in getting an epidural,” he adds with an endearingly perplexed frown, which only deepens as Death hides a snicker behind her teacup.
“And she’s certainly not wrong!” Hob says. “Still, better that we’ll be dealing with all that in the comfort of our own home. Speaking of the birth, wasn’t there something you wanted to ask your sister, dove?”
A tinge of pink appears on Morpheus’ cheekbones as Death leans forward, glancing between them expectantly. “Ah. Yes, I…” Morpheus begins, stumbling over his words. “Sister. Would you… be there? When the baby arrives?”
“It would be my honor, little brother,” she replies, her eyes shining. “Technically I’m present for every birth, but it’s lovely to be invited.” Morpheus nods, looking a little choked up himself, which naturally makes Hob’s eyes water too. “By the way,” Death continues, “are you planning on introducing the little one to mum and dad?”
Morpheus lets out a derisive bark of laughter. “No. No, I think not.”
“Probably for the best,” Death grins, shaking her head. “Oh, that reminds me, I was talking to Despair not too long ago, and she was saying…”
Hob quickly loses the thread of the conversation as the siblings discuss things that probably happened billions of years ago to people he’s never heard of. He simply watches the movements of his husband’s face, his brow gradually unfurrowing and his eyes creasing with laughter as he listens to his sister’s tales. He’s just so bloody beautiful, so extraordinary. Hob still can’t believe he’s his. He can’t believe he’s sitting here, in his flat, having tea with the former anthropomorphic personification of dreams and the current anthropomorphic personification of death, and they’re talking about literal stars that they know, and their midwife is a goddess, as is his husband’s ex, and…
And what is Hob, compared to all that? Just some bloke who became immortal by accident and knocked up someone so far out of his league they’re not even playing the same sport. The baby is going to be an incredible person, though. Hob is already sure of that. And then he’ll have two extraordinary people in his life, and he’ll still just be some doofus with nothing to offer.
His spiraling rumination is cut short as the two siblings erupt into laughter. Hob laughs along, even though he didn’t hear whatever was so funny. Still, it brings a genuine smile to his face to see Morpheus enjoying himself and looking so relaxed.
“Well,” Death sighs, stretching as she rises from her chair, “I’d better be on my way. Got another appointment nearby.”
“Oh! Wait, you’ve got to see the nursery before you leave,” Hob says, standing up with a groan and extending a hand to help Morpheus to his feet. “Mo’s mural is looking spectacular.”
“Next time. I promise,” she beams, pulling both men in for a hug. “It’s been wonderful to see you, brother. And you, Hob. I’m so happy for you both, really.”
“Thank you, my sister. For everything,” Morpheus murmurs.
Death kisses his temple and whispers something that draws a smile from Morpheus, then turns to Hob. “Take good care of him, Hob,” she says softly.
“I will,” Hob promises, nodding fervently. “Always.”
And then, with a blinding flash of blue light and a fluttering of wings, she’s gone.
Morpheus collapses back into the sofa cushions like his strings have been cut. He looks exhausted. Hob is right there with him. He settles back down beside his husband, gathering him into his lap as he begins to knead out the remaining tension in his shoulders. “Proud of you, love,” he whispers. “And hey, great news from your sister, eh? One less thing to stress about.”
“Mmm,” Morpheus purrs in agreement as he luxuriates in Hob’s touch. “Although I am not looking forward to this ‘baby shower’ of hers.”
“Party pooper,” Hob chuckles, pressing a kiss to the back of his neck. “It won’t be too bad. I’ll set an alarm, wake you up if it gets too painful.”
“I will hold you to that,” Morpheus replies.
“How are you feeling, darling? Time for a nap, do you think?”
Morpheus considers this as Hob continues to work out the knots in his neck. “No,” he says finally, “I feel. Restless. And I am craving chips.”
“Why don’t we head downstairs for a bite, then? Probably do us both good to get out and work off this leftover adrenaline.”
Hob is half expecting Morpheus to insist on staying here while Hob goes and fetches him some chips (a frequent occurrence in the Gadling household), but to his surprise, his husband nods. “Yes. I think I would like that,” Morpheus says, moving to stand up.
“Brilliant!” Hob exclaims, with a bit more gusto than he’d intended, as he hauls them both to their feet. He can’t help it; getting his husband to leave the flat feels like almost as big a victory as the positive news they’ve just received. “Shall we?” He holds his arm out in an exaggerated show of gentlemanliness, and Morpheus takes it with a roll of his eyes that belies the adoring grin on his face.
Hob has a spring in his step as they make their way down to the pub, arm in arm. There’s nothing, he thinks, that could spoil his good mood right now.
Well. Almost nothing.

Best 10 Business Strategies for year 2024
In 2024 and beyond, businesses will have to change with the times and adjust their approach based on new and existing market realities. The following are the best 10 business approach that will help companies to prosper in coming year
1. Embrace Sustainability
The days when sustainability was discretionary are long gone. Businesses need to incorporate environmental, social and governance (ESG) values into their business practices. In the same vein, brands can improve brand identity and appeal to environmental advocates by using renewable forms of energy or minimizing their carbon footprints.
Example: a fashion brand can rethink the materials to use organic cotton and recycled for their clothing lines. They can also run a take-back scheme, allowing customers to return old clothes for recycling (not only reducing waste but creating and supporting the circular economy).
2. Leverage AI
AI is revolutionizing business operations. Using AI-fuelled solutions means that you can automate processes, bring in positive customer experiences, and get insights. AI chatbots: AI can be utilized in the form of a conversational entity to support and perform backend operations, as well.
With a bit more specificity, say for example that an AI-powered recommendation engine recommends products to customers based on their browsing history and purchase patterns (as the use case of retail). This helps to increase the sales and improve the shopping experience.
3. Prioritize Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity is of utmost important as more and more business transitions towards digital platforms. Businesses need to part with a more substantial amount of money on advanced protective measures so that they can keep sensitive data private and continue earning consumer trust. Regular security audits and training of employees can reduce these risks.
Example: A financial services firm may implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all online transactions, regularly control access to Internet-facing administrative interfaces and service ports as well as the encryption protocols to secure client data from cyberattacks.
4. Optimizing Remote and Hybrid Working Models
Remote / hybrid is the new normal Remote teams force companies to implement effective motivation and management strategies. Collaboration tools and a balanced virtual culture can improve productivity and employee satisfaction.
- Illustration: a Tech company using Asana / Trello etc. for pm to keep remote teams from falling out of balance. They can also organise weekly team-building activities to keep a strong team spirit.
5. Focus on Customer Experience
Retention and growth of the sales follow-through can be tied to high quality customer experiences. Harness data analytics to deepen customer insights and personalize product offers making your marketing campaigns personal: a customer support that is responsive enough can drive a great level of returning customers.
Example – For any e-commerce business, you can take user experience feedback tools to know about how your customers are getting along and make necessary changes. Custom email campaigns and loyalty programs can also be positively associated with customer satisfaction and retention.
6. Digitalization Investment
It is only the beginning of digital transformation which we all know, is key to global competitiveness. For streamlining, companies have to adopt the use advanced technologies such as Blockchain Technology and Internet of Things (IoT) in conjunction with cloud computing.
IoT example : real-time tracking and analytics to optimize supply chain management
7. Enhance Employee Skills
Develop Your Employees: Investing in employee development is key to succeeding as a business. The training is provided for the folks of various industries and so employees can increase their skills that are needed to work in a certain company. Employee performance can be enhanced by providing training programs in future technology skills and soft skills and job satisfaction.
Example: A marketing agency can host webinars or create courses to teach people the latest digital marketing trends and tools This can help to keep employees in the know which results in boosting their skills, making your campaigns successful.
8. Diversify Supply Chains
The ongoing pandemic has exposed the weaknesses of global supply chains. …diversify its supply base and promote the manufacturing of drugs in Nigeria to eliminate total dependence on a single source. In return, this approach increases resilience and reduces exposure to the risks of supply chain interruption.
- E.g., a consumer electronics company can source components from many suppliers in various regions. In so doing, this alleviates avoidable supply chain interruptions during times of political tensions or when disasters hit.
9. Make Decisions Based on Data
A business database is an asset for businesses. By implementing data, they allow you to make decisions based on the data that your analytics tools are providing. For example, sales analysis lets you track trends and better tailor your goods to the market.
Example: A retail chain can use data analytics to find out when a customer buys, and it change their purchasing policies. This can also reduce overstock and stockouts while overall, increasing efficiency.
10. Foster Innovation
Business Growth Innovation is Key A culture of creativity and experimentation should be established in companies. Funding R&D and teaming with startups can open many doors to both solve problems creatively but also tap into new markets.
Example: A software development firm could create an innovation lab where team members are freed to work on speculative projects. Moreover, work with start-ups on new technologies and solutions.
By adopting these strategies, businesses can navigate the turbulence for 2024 and roll up market — progressive.AI with an evolving dynamic market, being ahead of trends and updated is most likely will help you thrive in the business landscape.

Safeguarding Privacy and Security in Fast-Paced Data Processing
In the current era of data-centric operations, rapid data processing is essential across many industries, fostering innovation, improving efficiency, and offering a competitive advantage.
However, as the velocity and volume of data processing increase, so do the challenges related to data privacy and security. This article explores the critical issues and best practices in maintaining data integrity and confidentiality in the era of rapid data processing.
The Importance of Data Privacy and Security
Data privacy ensures that personal and sensitive information is collected, stored, and used in compliance with legal and ethical standards, safeguarding individuals' rights. Data security, on the other hand, involves protecting data from unauthorized access, breaches, and malicious attacks. Together, they form the foundation f trust in digital systems and processes.
Challenges in Rapid Data Processing
Volume and Velocity: The sheer amount of data generated and processed in real-time poses significant security risks.
Complex Data Environments: Modern data processing often involves distributed systems, cloud services, and multiple third-party vendors, creating a complex ecosystem that is challenging to secure comprehensively.
Regulatory Compliance: With stringent regulations like GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA, organizations must ensure that their rapid data processing activities comply with data privacy laws.
Anonymization and De-identification: Rapid data processing systems must implement robust anonymization techniques to protect individual identities.
Best Practices for Ensuring Data Privacy and Security
Data Encryption: Encrypting data at rest and in transit is crucial to prevent unauthorized access.
Access Controls: Role-based access controls (RBAC) and multi-factor authentication (MFA) are effective measures.
Regular Audits and Monitoring: Continuous monitoring and regular security audits help identify and mitigate vulnerabilities in data processing systems.
Data Minimization: Collecting and processing only the necessary data reduces exposure risks.
Compliance Management: Staying updated with regulatory requirements and integrating compliance checks into the data processing workflow ensures adherence to legal standards.
Robust Anonymization Techniques: Employing advanced anonymization methods and regularly updating them can reduce the risk of re-identification.
Conclusion
As organizations leverage rapid data processing for competitive advantage, prioritizing data privacy and security becomes increasingly critical. By adopting best practices and staying vigilant against evolving threats, businesses can safeguard their data assets, maintain regulatory compliance, and uphold the trust of their customers and stakeholders.

More potential highlights of Jim using his Alien forms from the Omnitrix.
1. Claire and some of the other girls think Ditto is just the cutest .
"Aye que lindo"! says Claire😍
2. Wildmutt playing with Lug and having a doggy play date.
3. Krel excitedly examining Feedbacks charge plugs on his hands while Vex and Zadra nervously stands to the side. The only ones really aware how dangerous those digits could become.
4. Aja and Krel laughing when seeing Vex screaming and hide away from Jim's Pesky Dust form.
5. Grey Matter is used to get into the Darklands, but Blitzwolfer is used to navigate and map out the Darklands using his powerful nose.
6. Eye-Guy is pretty uncanny valley even to multi eye Trolls like Blinky.
7. "Saaaayyy Whaaaat"! exclaims Toby when he sees Way-Big.
8. Jim, as Ghostfreak, tries to possess Gunmar, but because of the Decimar blade and his overall will power.
9. The Trolls of Trollmarket love Upchuck for parties. He's a shoe in for winning eating and belching contests 😆
All of this.
It's no secret that Ditto is quite popular with his female classmates and girlfriend. Someone actually made a plushie for an online 'Cutest Toy' contest. Immediate First Place by a landslide. Congrats Jim, one of your aliens is a marketable plushie.
It ain't uncommon to see Lug get into shenanigans with Wildmutt. Aja thinks the whole thing is cute especially when she catches the two taking a nap. Lug deserves to play more.
There were a lot of precautions taken much to Aja and Vex's relief. Feedback's gauntlet has a setting that prevents the charge plugs on his hands from going off. Certain forms such as NRG have various gear or accommodations which makes interactions with other species much safer. Krel definitely got some inspiration for a few inventions thanks to Feedback.
They were laughing their asses upon the look of horror on Vex's face as Pesky Dust flew before them. Man was gone in seconds Looney Tunes style. Left behind a dust cloud shaped like him from how fast he hid behind the couch. It's gonna take awhile before Vex can even stand next to Pesky Dust for at least 10 minutes.
Yup! When it comes to the Darklands, any form that can help navigate is vital. Jim also unlocked two new aliens during his stay: Ball Weevil and Jury Rigg! The latter being used to get Enrique out of the Darklands. Ball Weevil help Jim escape from Gunmar once his cover got blown. Never underestimate the little guys.
Yup! Eye-Guy definitely got himself a mix of looks when he first appeared. Blinky definitely remembered the thousand eyes comment from Toby and might've thrown it back. It became a game in Trollmarket on who can catch this form off guard.
Toby would've fainted if they weren't in the middle of a warzone. His best friend just turned into an alien Kaiju! Toby definitely took pictures including one with the group on Jim's shoulder. (BTW, who came with Jim on the journey to find Azmuth was Toby, Blinky, Douxie, Archie, Claire and Draal.)
Jim definitely tried that mainly to keep the blade away from Draal. Harley manage to give enough willpower where Gunmar repelling his possession left the Gumm Gumm King stunned. A moment Kanijar took to get his son safely away. Pesky Dust helped Draal recover mentally from being under Gunmar's control.
You can bet Upchuck became a favorite. If a Troll can outbelch the Gourmand then it's a free meal on the house. As for eating, they definitely brought all kinds of stuff to see what Upchuck can munch.

What is the best web-based enterprise accounting software?
In the fast-paced and ever-evolving landscape of business, staying on top of your finances is crucial. As enterprises expand their operations, managing accounts efficiently becomes a daunting task. Thankfully, with the advent of technology, businesses now have access to a plethora of web-based enterprise accounting software options to streamline their financial processes. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the ins and outs of web-based enterprise accounting software, helping you make an informed decision on the best solution for your business needs.
Understanding Web-Based Enterprise Accounting Software
Web-based enterprise accounting software, often referred to as cloud accounting software, is a digital solution that allows businesses to manage their financial activities online. Unlike traditional accounting systems that rely on on-premise software, web-based accounting tools operate in the cloud, offering users the flexibility to access their financial data from anywhere with an internet connection.
Advantages of Web-Based Enterprise Accounting Software
1. Accessibility
One of the primary advantages of web-based accounting software is accessibility. With data stored securely in the cloud, users can access their financial information anytime, anywhere. This proves especially beneficial for enterprises with multiple locations or remote teams, fostering collaboration and efficiency.
2. Cost Efficiency
Web-based accounting solutions often follow a subscription-based model, eliminating the need for costly upfront investments in software and hardware. This cost-effective approach makes it easier for businesses to scale their accounting infrastructure according to their needs without breaking the bank.
3. Real-Time Updates
In the dynamic world of business, real-time data is invaluable. Web-based accounting software provides instant updates, ensuring that users have access to the most recent financial information. This feature is crucial for making informed decisions and adapting to market changes promptly.
4. Automatic Updates and Maintenance
Gone are the days of manual software updates and maintenance. With web-based accounting solutions, updates are automatic, and maintenance is handled by the service provider. This frees up valuable time for businesses to focus on core operations rather than managing software updates.
Features to Look for in Web-Based Enterprise Accounting Software
1. User-Friendly Interface
A user-friendly interface is essential for ensuring that your team can navigate the software seamlessly. Look for solutions with intuitive dashboards and easy-to-understand features to minimize the learning curve for your staff.
2. Scalability
As your enterprise grows, so do your accounting needs. Choose a web-based accounting solution that can scale with your business, accommodating increased transaction volumes and additional users without compromising performance.
3. Integration Capabilities
Efficient accounting doesn't happen in isolation. Ensure that the web-based accounting software you choose integrates seamlessly with other essential business tools, such as CRM systems, project management software, and e-commerce platforms.
4. Security
The security of your financial data should be a top priority. Opt for web-based accounting software that employs robust encryption protocols and follows industry best practices for data protection. Additionally, check for features such as multi-factor authentication to add an extra layer of security.
Top Contenders in the Web-Based Enterprise Accounting Software Market
1. MargBooks
MargBooks Online is a India's popular online accounting solution known for its user-friendly interface and robust features. It offers a range of plans to suit businesses of all sizes and provides tools for invoicing, expense tracking, and financial reporting.
2. Xero
Xero is another cloud accounting software that caters to small and medium-sized enterprises. With features like bank reconciliation, inventory management, and payroll integration, Xero is a comprehensive solution for businesses looking to streamline their financial processes.
3. NetSuite
NetSuite, owned by Oracle, is a cloud-based ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) solution that includes robust accounting functionalities. It is suitable for larger enterprises with complex financial needs and offers features such as financial planning, revenue recognition, and multi-currency support.
4. Zoho Books
Zoho Books is part of the Zoho suite of business applications and is designed for small and medium-sized enterprises. It provides features such as automated workflows, project billing, and collaborative client portals, making it a versatile choice for businesses with diverse needs.
Making the Right Choice for Your Business
Choosing the best web-based enterprise accounting software for your business requires careful consideration of your specific needs and objectives. Here are some steps to guide you through the decision-making process:
1. Assess Your Business Requirements
Start by identifying your business's specific accounting requirements. Consider factors such as the number of users, the complexity of your financial transactions, and the need for integration with other business applications.
2. Set a Budget
Determine a realistic budget for your accounting software. While web-based solutions often offer cost savings compared to traditional software, it's essential to choose a solution that aligns with your financial resources.
3. Explore Free Trials
Many web-based accounting software providers offer free trials of their platforms. Take advantage of these trials to explore the features and functionalities of different solutions before making a commitment.
4. Seek Recommendations and Reviews
Consult with other businesses in your industry or network to gather recommendations and insights. Additionally, read reviews from reputable sources to gain a better understanding of the user experiences with different accounting software options.
The Evolution of Web-Based Enterprise Accounting Software
As technology continues to advance, so does the landscape of web-based enterprise accounting software. The evolution of these platforms is driven by the ever-changing needs of businesses and the ongoing developments in cloud technology. Let's delve deeper into the evolving trends shaping the future of web-based accounting solutions.
1. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Automation
The integration of artificial intelligence and automation is revolutionizing how businesses handle their financial processes. Modern web-based accounting software is incorporating AI algorithms to automate repetitive tasks, such as data entry and invoice categorization. This not only increases efficiency but also minimizes the risk of human error.
2. Enhanced Data Analytics
In the age of big data, the ability to derive meaningful insights from financial data is paramount. Advanced web-based accounting solutions are now equipped with powerful data analytics tools. These tools help businesses analyze trends, forecast future financial scenarios, and make data-driven decisions.
3. Mobile Accessibility
The shift towards mobile accessibility is a notable trend in web-based enterprise accounting software. Businesses are increasingly relying on mobile devices for day-to-day operations, and accounting software providers are responding by offering mobile-friendly applications. This allows users to manage their finances on the go, providing unparalleled flexibility.
4. Integration with E-Commerce Platforms
As e-commerce continues to thrive, businesses are looking for accounting solutions that seamlessly integrate with their online sales platforms. Modern web-based accounting software often includes features tailored for e-commerce, such as automated transaction reconciliation with online sales channels and inventory management.
5. Blockchain Technology
Blockchain technology is making waves in various industries, and accounting is no exception. Some web-based accounting solutions are exploring the integration of blockchain for enhanced security and transparency in financial transactions. This could revolutionize how businesses handle aspects like auditing and transaction verification.
Common Challenges and How to Overcome Them
While web-based enterprise accounting software offers numerous benefits, it's important to be aware of potential challenges and how to overcome them. Here are some common issues businesses may face:
1. Security Concerns
The sensitive nature of financial data raises concerns about security in the cloud. To address this, choose a web-based accounting solution that employs robust encryption protocols and complies with industry security standards. Additionally, educate your team about best practices for secure online behavior.
2. Connectivity Issues
Reliable internet connectivity is crucial for accessing web-based accounting software.

Going Over the Cloud: An Investigation into the Architecture of Cloud Solutions
Because the cloud offers unprecedented levels of size, flexibility, and accessibility, it has fundamentally altered the way we approach technology in the present digital era. As more and more businesses shift their infrastructure to the cloud, it is imperative that they understand the architecture of cloud solutions. Join me as we examine the core concepts, industry best practices, and transformative impacts on modern enterprises.
The Basics of Cloud Solution Architecture A well-designed architecture that balances dependability, performance, and cost-effectiveness is the foundation of any successful cloud deployment. Cloud solutions' architecture is made up of many different components, including networking, computing, storage, security, and scalability. By creating solutions that are tailored to the requirements of each workload, organizations can optimize return on investment and fully utilize the cloud.
Flexibility and Resilience in Design The flexibility of cloud computing to grow resources on-demand to meet varying workloads and guarantee flawless performance is one of its distinguishing characteristics. Cloud solution architecture create resilient systems that can endure failures and sustain uptime by utilizing fault-tolerant design principles, load balancing, and auto-scaling. Workloads can be distributed over several availability zones and regions to help enterprises increase fault tolerance and lessen the effect of outages.
Protection of Data in the Cloud and Security by Design
As data thefts become more common, security becomes a top priority in cloud solution architecture. Architects include identity management, access controls, encryption, and monitoring into their designs using a multi-layered security strategy. By adhering to industry standards and best practices, such as the shared responsibility model and compliance frameworks, organizations may safeguard confidential information and guarantee regulatory compliance in the cloud.
Using Professional Services to Increase Productivity Cloud service providers offer a variety of managed services that streamline operations and reduce the stress of maintaining infrastructure. These services allow firms to focus on innovation instead of infrastructure maintenance. They include server less computing, machine learning, databases, and analytics. With cloud-native applications, architects may reduce costs, increase time-to-market, and optimize performance by selecting the right mix of managed services.
Cost control and ongoing optimization Cost optimization is essential since inefficient resource use can quickly drive up costs. Architects monitor resource utilization, analyze cost trends, and identify opportunities for optimization with the aid of tools and techniques. Businesses can cut waste and maximize their cloud computing expenses by using spot instances, reserved instances, and cost allocation tags.
Acknowledging Automation and DevOps Important elements of cloud solution design include automation and DevOps concepts, which enable companies to develop software more rapidly, reliably, and efficiently. Architects create pipelines for continuous integration, delivery, and deployment, which expedites the software development process and allows for rapid iterations. By provisioning and managing infrastructure programmatically with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and Configuration Management systems, teams may minimize human labor and guarantee consistency across environments.
Multiple-cloud and hybrid strategies In an increasingly interconnected world, many firms employ hybrid and multi-cloud strategies to leverage the benefits of many cloud providers in addition to on-premises infrastructure. Cloud solution architects have to design systems that seamlessly integrate several environments while ensuring interoperability, data consistency, and regulatory compliance. By implementing hybrid connection options like VPNs, Direct Connect, or Express Route, organizations may develop hybrid cloud deployments that include the best aspects of both public and on-premises data centers. Analytics and Data Management Modern organizations depend on data because it fosters innovation and informed decision-making. Thanks to the advanced data management and analytics solutions developed by cloud solution architects, organizations can effortlessly gather, store, process, and analyze large volumes of data. By leveraging cloud-native data services like data warehouses, data lakes, and real-time analytics platforms, organizations may gain a competitive advantage in their respective industries and extract valuable insights. Architects implement data governance frameworks and privacy-enhancing technologies to ensure adherence to data protection rules and safeguard sensitive information.
Computing Without a Server Server less computing, a significant shift in cloud architecture, frees organizations to focus on creating applications rather than maintaining infrastructure or managing servers. Cloud solution architects develop server less programs using event-driven architectures and Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) platforms such as AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, or Google Cloud Functions. By abstracting away the underlying infrastructure, server less architectures offer unparalleled scalability, cost-efficiency, and agility, empowering companies to innovate swiftly and change course without incurring additional costs.
Conclusion As we come to the close of our investigation into cloud solution architecture, it is evident that the cloud is more than just a platform for technology; it is a force for innovation and transformation. By embracing the ideas of scalability, resilience, and security, and efficiency, organizations can take advantage of new opportunities, drive business expansion, and preserve their competitive edge in today's rapidly evolving digital market. Thus, to ensure success, remember to leverage cloud solution architecture when developing a new cloud-native application or initiating a cloud migration.

FireMon Reaches For The (Forty) Cloud
(Originally written for The Fourth Wall)
Network security is a major concern for both enterprises and individuals. With threats seemingly around every corner, we focus much of our energy on awareness and mitigation, such as firewalls..
Well, sometimes. It’s not always this simple. Setting up a suitable firewall becomes far more of a challenge the more systems there are in a single network. It can also be difficult to gauge exactly what threats you’re up against and what tools are the best to use for your specific network.
Enter FireMon.
Founded in 2004 in Kansas, FireMon started out offering firewall management solutions. This service spun into what is today FireMon’s premiere product - the FireMon Security Manager.
The FireMon Security Manager is a firewall management platform designed for massive networks with thousands of hosts. Claimed by FireMon to provide real-time threat analysis, the ability to see and clean up overly lenient user permissions as well as firewall policies, and allows for the monitoring of network traffic behavior in order to find policies which may be overly permissive.
Not only that, but FireMon Security Manager is able to isolate, document and detect any change that may exist in your firewall policies.
FireMon offers three modules which can be purchased separately in order to extend the capabilities of Security Manager - Policy Planner, Policy Optimizer, and Risk Analyzer.
Policy Planner recommends certain policy changes and analyzes the impact any policy changes may have on overall security. Policy Optimizer allows for the automation of policy review and changes based on shifting security conditions as well as compliance requirements. Risk Analyzer is a risk-assessment tool designed to evaluate the efficacy of a network’s security infrastructure by determining which vulnerabilities are most likely to be exploited by hackers.
Breaking The Fourth Wall
FireMon continues to address a real need in the market with the FireMon Security Manager as well as its other products. In this age of increased security threats to our networks, the security of an organization’s firewall is vital as well as its durability against external threats and network vulnerabilities. The FireMon Security Manager allows users to see the existence of threats and vulnerabilities, as well as providing analysis for addressing the issue.
However, FireMon isn’t only focusing on bringing intelligence security analytics to the firewall. FireMon announced October 20, 2016 that it had acquired FortyCloud, a Cloud Infrastructure Security Broker.
Thanks to the acquisition, FireMon can now turn its gaze to the cloud and address multi-cloud management and the need for cloud-based intelligent security management capabilities. FortyCloud allows users to connect securely to multi-cloud environments and even provides options for extending cloud security, such as two-factor authentication.
With more and more organizations seeking to bring their networks into the Cloud, security is increasingly a concern. However, being able to work with the FortyCloud team leaves FireMon in a position to develop usable offerings to meet the security needs that will most certainly develop from cloud-based networks.
There is certainly competition in the market from other players, such as Skybox Security, Tufin, and Algosec, however, with the acquisition of FortyCloud, FireMon can continue being a strong player in the rapidly-changing industry.
