Summary: Buzz, the cool beatnik and one-time boyfriend of Carolyn Stoddard on Dark Shadows, was not fazed by the big money of the Collins clan. In this story he is about to embark upon a journey to the west coast. As he prepares, he meets up with Willie, and invites him for a ride on his bike and a drink on the beach. 
A/N: There is no canon evidence that Buzz and Willie ever met, but if they did, what would they have to say to each other?  I always imagined that they would talk about seing the world and about what it means to be free. This story is Part 1 of the Fleet verse, and the sequel is called Fleet of Stars.

Summary: The conversation Willie has with Buzz in Inches and Miles leads Willie to remember his travels with Jason as he compares the freedom he once had with the eternal prison that is now his in the Old House.

A/N: I once thought, back in the day, that Jason was quite cruel to Willie. Then, when I really started watching and studying these characters, I realized that they were quite close friends. Not slash close, but close. And I have often wondered where these two “sea tramps” travelled to. The poem below inspired the title:

 

Fire in the night, O dreams!

Though she send you as she sent you, long ago,

South to the desert, east to ocean, north to snow,

West of these out to seas colder than the Hebrides I must go

Where the fleet of stars is anchored, and the young star-captains glow
