    Summary

    “We're snowed in.”
    “Hmm, they did say we were in for quite a storm on the radio.” He pauses for a moment, taking in the sound of howling wind. It's peaceful. “Why are you so worried John? We have plenty of food, they said the storm should let up by tomorrow.”

    John leans over to Athur, ghosting a hand across his face, fixing wild hair yet to be tamed. “...the last time you…we witnessed a storm like this was at Larson's. The cold and pain seemed to seep into your bones. Stealing your…humanity…your vibrant warmth…”

    Summary

    It starts small, as most things do. One straw atop the stack. One drop in the reservoir. It's just that the dam has to break eventually. They always do.

    (In which, trapped within Arthur's body, John begins to question how much of a life he's really allowed to live, and how much he has to give up to his host.)

    Summary

    John was pulled out of his head. He was a little confused, Arthur said he’d never been to this town before?

    “Well, not, here here—” Ah. "—but the point is I fell asleep outside once in a place just like this and woke up red as a tomato.” John snickered a little at the thought. He and Arthur had taken up gardening in their windowsill to save on grocery money. Currently they had some mint, pea shoots, a couple of radishes, and cherry tomatoes. They also had a handful of flowers, per John’s request. He’d become something of a botanist in his free time.

    “It must’ve hurt.”

    “Like hell.”

    Another soft snicker. Then back to the calming silence. John liked spring.

    Summary

    "Oh, so you two know each other," Tim grins, clearly delighted by this development.

    With a lack of anything else to say, he falls back onto his default state.

    "Unfortunately," Jon replies drily.

    ---

    Jon's first day as Head Archivist starts with him being introduced to a new hire, Martin Blackwood - a man he hasn't seen in ten years.

    He's also his ex.

    It's a bit of a problem.

    Summary

    After a moment, Martin decides he’ll just watch what Jon does, and then do the same. Takes a sandwich, a snack, a drink. Carries it outside to the picnic area with Jon, and eats without thinking. Ignores the way that it makes him feel as he slides back into the passenger seat, Jon’s fingers drumming lightly on the steering wheel next to him: uncomfortably full, in more ways than just physical.

    It’ll work for now, he tells himself. He’ll figure it out later.

    -

    Old habits don’t die easily in the safehouse. Jon and Martin work on it.

    Summary

    Inspired by Lovecraft’s “The Thing at the Doorstep”, John has gained a new body, and tried to settle into an investigative practice with Arthur back in Arkham. However, he quickly finds that physical humanity suits him poorly, and longs for things to go back to the way they were. When he’s approached by someone who claims to also be inhuman in the same way he once was (and maybe still is) John finds a friend and confidant in the struggles he’s not brave enough to share with Arthur. But as his friend’s true nature is revealed and secrets from all parties become uncovered, John quickly realizes that his new friend is more dangerous than he could have ever imagined.

    Arthur lives a happy, safe life in Arkham, Massachusetts, with a wonderful daughter, Faroe, a wonderful partner, Parker, and a wonderful friend, Bella, who’s working on getting her degree in medicine. He composes, and Parker works as a PI, and he gets to spend his days with his music and his evenings with his family. But at night, when he sleeps, Arthur is plagued by dreams of a voice in his head that calls itself John, accompanying him through various horrific circumstances. As these dreams continue—and eventually begin to bleed into his wonderful and perfect waking life—Arthur begins to wonder if everything is really as wonderful and perfect as it seems.

    Summary

    Despite his breezy exterior, Noel is not doing well post-Dreamlands captivity. He has violent nightmares every night, he has no connections in New York, and for the past few years, he's been sleepwalking through life.

    After Oscar wakes up alone and discovers Arthur missing from the Allan farmstead, he recruits Detective Noel for help in tracking him down. Noel is less than thrilled to be working with an alcoholic priest who should really be in the hospital, but remembering his promise to help Arthur, he agrees.

    Despite a rocky start, Noel comes to find that there is more to Oscar than he previously expected: a strong moral core, a reckless bravery, and even a sly wit. Everything inside Noel has felt dead for so long - but there is something to Oscar's company and relentless support that makes Noel want to wake up.
