    Summary

    There are times when Church likes his job, as a hacker for a motley crew of thieves taking down corrupt corporations.

    And then there are times when he really wishes he kept flying solo.

    Looking after his teammate's alien kid during a fucking con is one of those times. And when the job goes wrong because, y'know, Church can't properly disable alarms and hack systems while babysitting a child, it's up to him and Junior to make sure that dangerous devices don't fall into the wrong greedy hands and that the team doesn't get caught or killed.

    Church is not liking their chances.

    Summary

    “Talk.”
    “Oh. Oh right.” Rex cringed hard enough to pull into his own shoulders, build disintegrating. “You don't remember anymore. You don't remember how you fought with your team just to bring me over. How I was supposed to be the last chance to help your sensei.” He swallowed hard. “How I couldn't cure him. How they turned on us. How we couldn't save him. When he-” The words died on Rex’s lips.
    For a split second Six’s grip gave out and his sword clattered to the ground.

    Summary

    Sometimes he forgot he was supposed to be dead. He thought about Arthur as little as possible.

    All in all, he was getting by.

    That was, of course, until someone called emergency services for Lenox Hill Hospital.

    Summary

    The thing that Arthur remembers the most from the first time John consumes him is the darkness.

    He’s blind, of course—the complete sort, where there’s never anything but nothing. Still, when Arthur casts his mind back, all he can recall is how the world grew somehow, impossibly, frighteningly black. Blacker than black. The sort of black he imagines one might find at the center of a great, yawning void. Madness-inducing black.

    .

    Or, in the Dreamlands, John discovers that he’s able to manifest physically. This is not without consequences for Arthur.

    Summary

    John and Arthur are back in New York, and slowly settling into having their own bodies. Noel has offered to help them get used to being away from each other. It's not a burden, really. If anything, it's nice to be able to spend one-on-one time with them.

    The separation seems to have taken a larger toll on John than he'd rather admit. Luckily, Noel is a patient man.

    Summary

    “He should wake soon.”

     


    That’s what Yorick had told him. After Arthur had initially awoken, screaming in agony and gasping with terror. He’d told John that, assured him of that. Because the talisman had brought him back and would heal him, would make him better.

     



    Fucking load of shit, John seethes and taps his claws on the same rotten wooden table he’s been tapping for the past five hours.

     




    ___


     




    The aftermath of the boys' encounter with the Witch, wherein John struggles with his new body and worry for his partner.

    Summary

    (Because I could not stop for Death—
 He kindly stopped for me—
    The Carriage held but just Ourselves—  
And Immortality.
    We slowly drove—He knew no haste, 
And I had put away
    My labor and my leisure too,
 For His Civility.)

    Death and Arthur Lester have a rather tense relationship. They flirt constantly, send each other so many gifts—and yet, they never seem to end up going home together at the end of the night.

    Or: after dealing with the Butcher on the train, Arthur has a friendly conversation with another passenger, and somehow, for once, nothing bad happens.

    Summary

    It didn’t matter the topic, didn’t matter that John was trying to make amends, trying to be better, wanting to be better, desperately—even going so far as to try to apologize, to really apologize, to Arthur. It didn’t fucking matter, but that was fine. That was okay. They were fucking trapped there together, and John was going to make it work for the both of them if it killed him.

     

    John is still trying to get used to humanity, to being a part of Arthur Lester. To making mistakes and paying for them. To being John Doe.

    He doesn't make it easy on himself.
