Summary
He traced his finger over each letter, feeling out the grooves his pen had made on the page.
It seemed to…fit.
Like the first suit Arthur had bought for him at that department store, pinstriped and black with a navy tie, or the way his hands slotted snugly around his favorite mug, or the way health and happiness and a home fit Arthur far better than any pit or mineshaft ever could.
Something tugged at another corner of his mind, nagging at some loose thread there.
William. By the way.
He froze, despite the memory of a crackling fire and darkened trees.
That was his name. My first real friend.
…Fuck.

Summary
Do it, Kayne. He pulled them from the ruins of his being, offering up those crumbling bricks of assertion to lay with the prized gold that used to rest in his core.
“How, how could you-” Lie? Break? How could he betray again and again like a drunkard stumbling back to the bar each time he swore to leave?
“Ah, once a monster, eh, Artie?” A laugh like machine gun fire. “Alright, close your eyes, er, whoever has them now.” He raised his hand, fingers poised to snap.

Summary
“Well, boys,” says John Lee Pettimore. His voice is tiny and far away. He must be shouting for Jon to hear him. “Looks like we’re not in Kansas any more.”
“I don’t think,” Jon says, slow and labored, “we’ve been in Kansas for a long time.”
John says, What are you two FUCKING talking about?
Trapped in a strange place with even stranger people, Jonathon Sims doesn’t know where to turn. Arthur Lester craves absolution he won’t let himself earn. Keith Vigna learns what it’s like to burn. And beneath them all, ITS CLOUDED DEPTHS churn.

Summary
Then for many months, simply put, it was the last thing his fraying, bending, fear-addled mind was willing to make room for. Between stints of terror and agony he’d balked from imagining, the only craving he found himself subject to was for a decent meal and half a night’s rest. As the fingers of fate wrapped around his ankle again and again, he’d only spared a few thoughts for just how pleasant a break from sobriety would be before the nightmare of the morning clamped its jaws around his mind.

Summary
Moonlight filters through the curtained window, painting the room in shades of blue. They’re safe, Arthur isn’t mortally wounded, there’s working tap water, there’s even a comfortable enough bed that doesn’t even reek of something having lived or died in it recently. John should be relaxed, right now, as much as he ever can relax. And he would be. It’s just…
It’s just, his fucking arm.

Summary
"Daddy look!"
Arthur stopped his cutting as he turned towards his daughter with a smile. "You know I can't see that Faroe."
He held out his hand and something smooth dropped into his hand. He hummed as his fingers carefully felt around the object. The base of it was slightly bumpy and tapered into a sharp point. So sharp in fact, it stabbed his thumb when he grazed it. It felt like a tooth, but it's way too large to come from anything that was supposed to live in the woods that surrounded their cabin.
"Where did you get this Faroe?"
---
People say that a blind man living with his young daughter on the outskirts of town is a bad idea. Arthur however has never had a problem in the years he lived in his little cabin. The forest is peaceful, and almost nothing troubles them.

Summary
“I may not wake up again in the morning,” it’s said in whisper, but it may as well have been a shout with how it left his ears ringing.
John knew Arthur had said it earlier, but being back in this room, the heat of fever sinking heavily into Arthur’s skin, it was real.
Arthur was dying.
And there was nothing John could do for him.

Summary
“He should wake soon.”
That’s what Yorick had told him. After Arthur had initially awoken, screaming in agony and gasping with terror. He’d told John that, assured him of that. Because the talisman had brought him back and would heal him, would make him better.
Fucking load of shit, John seethes and taps his claws on the same rotten wooden table he’s been tapping for the past five hours.
___

Summary
He doesn’t need to ask this man, this voice, who he is. Though it may be one he’s never heard before, that cadence, these words, that touch, that care….is not unfamiliar, it’s the opposite of it. Way too familiar. What used to be a constant in his life for the past few months. Much too far away from him. Outside of him now. He doesn’t want to, wants to hold on and on and on to that familiar darkness, and that comforting voice telling him everything they’re seeing.
He’s seeing.Post 43. John never gets to ask Yorick to bring Arthur back from the dead. Instead, Kayne does it for them, eager to move their little trip across time and space along. In a present day setting, John and Arthur have to live with the aftermath of the events that unfolded within the hag's den. With John thrust inside a body of his own against their will, tasked with a mission that is as illusive as ever. Keep looking for the black stone. Overcome all the horrors and obstacles. And never forget about the carrot and the stick.

Summary
It hadn’t been that first day, or that first week, but it had become apparent quickly, all the same.
This wasn’t his old life, just as he wasn’t the same Arthur Lester who had taken strolls with Bella through these very streets or carried a smaller body upon his shoulders, tiny hands clinging to his neck.
He was fundamentally Changed.
He knew this, of course. He had known it for a long time now, but nothing had reminded him so violently of that fact until he had been made aware of one specific bodily need and its damnably contradictory desire to reject nearly every attempt to satiate it. The existence of which led him to the one uphill battle he should have fucking foreseen:
Food.
.
.
.
In some ways, Arthur has rebuilt a normal life for himself and, in so many others, he can never seem to. -

Summary
A young man stood in the mirror, all inexperienced knots and shaky hands and slipping suspenders. He fiddled with his belt, like that meagre strip of frabric could hold together his last shuddering nerve as he opened the shears in his hand.
