    Summary

    The King in Yellow had a plan. It worked, and Arthur Lester broke.

    Then it all went to hell.

    A certain Outer God took issue with his favorite show's cancellation, and arrived with certain demands.

    Hastur is furious. His adopted daughter is afraid. John wants to kill his other half; and Arthur has a lot of healing to do in rebuilt Carcosa, in the mystical Dreamlands.

    Forced family is not, as it turns out, a good time for anyone.

    Summary

    To say that John is interested in the stranger who’s been sitting at the far end of his bar for nearly three hours now would be an understatement. For one thing, the man has only ordered a single drink and is still nursing it, even though the ice is completely melted and watered-down whiskey is less than pleasant.

    For another, in the low light of the club, he looks just like Arthur Lester.

    .

    Following the death of his daughter, famous film composer and pianist Arthur Lester drops out of the music scene and disappears from the public eye. Ten years later, Arthur now works as a private investigator and has no interest in performing or composing ever again.

    John is intrigued by Arthur, who comes to his club to drink on the rare nights that there’s no music scheduled. As they meet again and again, they begin to grow closer. But Arthur isn’t the only one with a past he’s trying to run away from.

    Summary

    When Arthur made his deal with Kayne, he expected John to be back as the god had said, sharing his body again with control of his eyes. But when he hears nothing in his mind from John, he thinks that maybe the trickster had lied. His promise had been broken and John hadn't come back to him. What Kayne didn't tell him was that John was coming back, but not in the way Arthur had been expecting. Kayne had wanted a show, after all...

    Arthur finds John (the one that will take a while to I get new chapters)

    Summary

    John realizes what’s happening on the sixth loop.

    In retrospect, it’s fucking embarrassing that it took him so long to figure it out—that this isn’t an illusion, and it’s not him finally going mad, and it’s not a dream or a trick or a torment devised by the King to fuck with them. It’s not like he doesn’t know that time is as malleable as clay in the hands of gods. The Dark World taught him many lessons that he’d like to forget, and that’s one of them.

    It’s just been a little hard to concentrate when Arthur keeps fucking dying.

    .

    When John decides to stay with Arthur as he bleeds out on the King’s plateau, he expects them both to die. Instead, they find themselves brought back in time to the first moment they stepped onto the plateau—and Arthur has no recollection of their confrontation with the King. John soon realizes that they’re stuck in a time loop that restarts every time Arthur dies.

    Summary

    "We'll find you a nice cadaver, or something."

    After everything, Arthur and John finally have time to figure out how to get John his own body. It isn't a pleasant process. It turns out that having a fragment of a god excised from your mind has some side-effects, and being a fragment of a god suddenly resident in a human ex-corpse isn't particularly straightforward either.

    They'll help each other through it. They always do.

    Summary

    “I don’t see why we have to go to a stupid party in the first place.”

    “You know why. We were invited.”

    “A stupid reason.”

    “I thought you’d be excited. It’s not every day one gets to brush elbows with the upper-crust; to be frank, I never thought my music would catch on as much as it has. I’m really quite flattered.”

    “I still don’t see why I have to come. You’re the famous composer.”

    “Come now. It’ll be fun.”

    Summary
