    Summary

    Something bad is happening to John.

    He can’t put his finger on it, but he knows two things. One, it started at some point between getting his own body and now— and two, it isn’t going to end well.

    Summary

    He’s able to get the words “You wouldn’t believe the line at Larry’s, it was to the curb—” out before his gaze catches on something huge. He stares and his grin freezes and his brain does this funny thing like it’s been stalled.

    It’s tall and sharp and black and has too many angles and too many shadows, and Noel feels that old, familiar primal sensation of fear run through his entire body.

    He drops the sandwiches and grabs the nearest object in one breath, which happens to be a cookbook and throws it with all his strength at the creature standing too close, way too close to Arthur.
    ___

    Noel's pretty calm when it comes to most things. He knows how to keep that voice, the little panicky one that pops up when he gets anxious, quiet. Will that cool demeanor remain intact when he visits the boys and sees something he wasn't meant to, something that reminds him of his past?

    Summary

    It took a long while to come to be what he is now. To... come back, he supposes. (What a strange concept, to be gone from this world and yet aware of it). It took a long while before he was more than a vague, voiceless shadow of a mind. It came slowly, like a waking from a dream, singular and stretched over months of time. 

    In which Arthur must witness, without voice, the extent of John's grief.

    Summary

    Arthur only leaves because the bartop is uncomfortable to lay his head on.

    Usually it’s John who pesters him into getting up and heading home before it gets too late, (Arthur, we’ll miss the train tomorrow; Arthur, the street cats will want to see us; Arthur, I want to go home) but tonight he is silent. Arthur stays longer.

    -

    After a case goes awry, Arthur goes out to get a drink. He fails to plan how, exactly, he's getting home.

    The day they separated, John and Arthur planted a ginkgo tree in the backyard.
    How lovely it was to have something to be reborn alongside them.
