    Summary

    "Oh, but it is. I know your name. I know what you think about when you close your eyes. I know you make beautiful music. Can’t you play something for me?"

    Arthur dug his fingernails into his palms. “What are you?”

    The voice laughed, long and low. "Just a voice in your head, Arthur. Nothing more."

    ...

    Instead of a book, the fractured half of the King in Yellow is bound to a piano. A beautifully striking instrument that catches Parker's eye in a music shop, and finds a home in their office. Arthur refuses to play it, but the King has influence over artistic and susceptible minds that's difficult to ignore.

    Summary

    "This body—" The stranger was suddenly a lot closer to them, crouching down to rest a hand on the back of Arthur's neck. Arthur tried to twist away, but he was rapidly running out of his already limited energy. "—isn't built to hold both of you. Especially not you," he added, "King."

    ---

    Arthur is kidnapped by a cult who wants to return John to his full power. But they aren't planning on taking him out of Arthur's body first.

    Summary

    Parker is back on the streets of Arkham. Part of him, anyway. His spirit wanders, visiting loved ones and trying to piece together what happened to him.

    He has SO much unfinished business to tend to.

    Summary

    It is 1934. The Magnus Institute has not YET been infested with worms; though, Mr. Blackwood surely has rambled on about them plenty, to the Archivist’s horror. Furthermore, Jonathan Sims reads a statement from one Arthur Lester that feels far too much like a man reaching into a different sort of wasp’s nest, (or rather like one is reaching into HIM), and curiosity truly is an awful sort of thing. Jon has always been quite a moth to a flame, hasn’t he?

    Or; AU in which Arthur and John are part of the TMA universe but everyone is in 1934 and things get… Insectoid.

    (Title is from Let Down by Radiohead. Yes. I know. I know...)
