    Summary

    John gluts himself upon Arthur's blood, upon the altar of his body as if in prayer.

    Arthur bares his neck simply because he trusts him.

    Lillith holds the one human's soul she can stand in her hands while Arthur holds her name in his.

    The three of them could so easily destroy one another if they chose to. And yet.

    Summary

    It’s not every day now you get the chance to witness the blind prophet of an eldritch god, and Oscar certainly wasn’t about to pass up the opportunity. This was his purpose, after all. To find people like him, people marked by the sinister beings and forces that lay restless, jaws spread and drooling, at the edge of our world. To find them and to help. If he couldn’t dig himself out of his nightmares, couldn’t he at least try to dig out others from theirs?

    Summary

    In one of many universes, it is not John who fades after the mines of Addison, but Arthur. Alone and with deals unfulfilled, John flees back to Arkham, taking on Arthur's name and job. Yet past is always close behind, and when a series of supernatural drownings is handed to him as a case - well, John only acts in his nature.

    Mute and bound to an entity that deals in grief and music, water and mourning, John strives to do better than Arthur once had. But unfinished business from New York is at their heels, while the Great New One speaks in echoes of his old friend's voice. It is John's call this time - and tide may yet drown him completely.

    Summary

    In his mind Oscar is already poured a shot of Scotch to start himself off, something to begin the fuzziness and blurry edges, something that will finally feel like relief.

    Summary

    Arthur and John are long gone from Oscar's life, and whatever they did has left more than one wound in the world.

    Oscar's is obvious. Scratch's is not.

    Oscar certainly hadn't planned on encountering the malevolent spirit ever again, but now that he has, he faces a choice.

    Summary

    And yet, this was Arthur. Never content; give him what he asked for and he’d only deny he’d ever wanted it. “This is…a dream. You think…it’s the worst? The worst…anyone’s ever…”

    “Is that what you want?” Scratch’s crushed-glass voice seethed with sardonic solicitude. “The worst?”
