Summary
Arthur & John have succeeded. They have their own separate human bodies, escaped the eldritch horrors, returned to New York, and even managed to admit to their feelings for one another. The worst is over. It should be. But, how are they supposed to behave as though those horrors never happened? And after all that time trying to find home-they never considered horror could be there too.

He leaves with a case and a promise.

A repressed mess walks into a bar. Stop me if you've heard this one.

Summary
After the deaths of his wife and daughter, a heartbroken Arthur Lester forsakes Earth for an opportunity aboard an intergalactic space station, populated by strange species from every corner of the galaxy. He answers an ad for an apartment for rent, and learns his would-be roommate “John Doe” [Name: Untranslatable into Human Speech] is a member of an alien species to which humans have a violent—and often fatal—visual reaction.
Arthur, blinded following the accident which left him widowed, decides to give the arrangement a go.
Yet as friendship kindles and they grow closer, Arthur learns that John’s past, as full of secrets as John himself, harbors not only terrifying mysteries of old gods, but a growing threat. One which will force both John and Arthur to the edge of known space, and back to the shores of the Lake of Hali, to face a darkness which threatens all of Carcosa.

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
Arthur and John wake up on the merchant's cart, where they are promptly dumped in the desert. They run into the horrors that chase them into a familiar face. Now our cast of characters has to struggle to get home and, along the way, identify what home even is.
"John," Arthur grabbed John's elbow, his eyes carefully levelled at Yellow in the dim light. "He clearly doesn't want our help, and Kayne isn't here. Maybe we should leave like—"
"Arthur, look at him. He's chained down. We can't just leave him—"
"Yes, you can."
"—when it's about to be dark." John worried his lip as he glanced out the door at the light that was a minute from being gone.
"I summoned a Byahkee, and when it gets here, I will command it to eat the two of you!" Yellow snarled, the continuous rattle of struggling chains filling the room. "It is in your best interest to leave me here."
"You remember how to do that?" John asked.
"You don't?" Yellow snorted again.

Summary
Hob Gadling doesn't really expect having to save his Stranger from his prison in Fawney Rig. Dream doesn't expect to have his Endless essence ripped from him by a brutal spell that leaves him weak and painfully human. Lucky for him, Hob has gone through many lifetimes and knows how to be human.
A fic about being hurt, healing, and learning the true value of accepting your feelings.
Featuring (among other things): endless pining, Hob trying to get Dream to dance, hopefully half-decent poetry, the long winding road of trying to be okay, and, with a bit of luck, a happy ending.- Language:
