Summary
It was a matter of balance; Herbert had to keep him focused on the greater things while Dan added, however begrudgingly he’d admit it, clever insight and a fresh perspective to their experiments. Perhaps, Herbert’s shortcoming was that he often failed to apply those insights in practice.
-
(Herbert is at an impasse with his addiction, and Dan's perception of him might've been inaccurate. This turns out to be the perfect remedy for their relationship.)

Summary
"The thought gnawed at him, though. Over dinner, laying in bed at night, at work, in the car, he realized at any point he could send a letter to Herbert. He held off for a few weeks, hoping the feeling would pass, but it didn’t."

Summary
Why was he doing this? Why was he here, at Herbert’s house, on the outskirts of Arkham, with Herbert’s daughter, preparing to experiment in his laboratory? It had been well over twenty years since they had last seen each other, since they were last crushed by the ceiling of their basement and the neighboring underground crypt of the cemetery, since they had last experimented with the power of God and reanimated the dead—together.
-
There is now an extension of Herbert West in this world, and after she reunites her father with his former laboratory partner, they waste no time in getting right back to work.

Summary
In the dead of Antarctic winter, a man and his mysterious cargo arrive at NSF Outpost #32. His name is Dr. Daniel Cain, and he's just survived a massacre he attributes to a monster.
Two days earlier, Herbert West and his partner Cain re-animate a victim of the Miskatonic Antarctic Research Expedition to investigate a grisly attack. They learn that there's something with them on the ice—and it comes from a place no human has been before.
A Re-Animator flavored tribute to The Thing and At the Mountains of Madness.

Five Times Dan's Dates Got Interrupted by Herbert, and One Time He Confronted Him About It by GayCrowEnthusiast

Summary
"Can’t you see, Dan? We can achieve so much more than we have. Whatever happiness you have deluded yourself into pursuing is nothing compared to our work.” Herbert said as if he never even heard him, shoving Dan aside and retrieving the vial of reagent from his coat pocket, “THIS is what matters.”
And there it was again. That one talk about the importance of work and how they were making history. Dan could feel his thoughts drifting off to the many times when the very same conversation occurred, that strong sense of deja vu threatening to breach his mind and give him another headache.
“You’re jealous.” He finally said. That broke Herbert out of his long monologue.
“What?”
“You were jealous.”
---
The first time Dan easily brushed it off as a one time incident, the second time it was becoming just a little annoying, by the fifth time Dan finally confronted his roommate about his habit of getting in the way of his dates, and he never would've guessed what came out of it.

Summary
He’d already made his decision…hours ago, when he left Francesca cold and crying in the middle of the night to drive off into oblivion with the man he had been actively planning to separate himself from.
Dan’s last shred of guilt had been washed in a tide of blood and dirt, every remnant of it ripped out by his own crimson-stained hands. Life, as it turned out, had been birthed after all, in the deepest pit of his chest where the truth of it had been harbored. Familiar was this burst of invigoration, this jolt of thrill, this hypnotic pull that led him like a parched man to the sea.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Y'know that one scene in Bride of Re-Animator where Dan is all like "let me" and it's all very horny. Just read this like a direct continuation of whatever the fuck was going on there.
