    Summary

    And then there suddenly appeared before me
    The only one my arms will hold
    I heard somebody whisper, "Please adore me"
    And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold

    Or, four times Arthur and John lived in domestic peace and one time Arthur missed the mark. (oldies inspired 4+1)

    Summary

    Artie must’ve been on the rocks again. Mostly, that’s when Kayne started to hear about it: first, a conservative waft of that prim little fougere Arthur had liked before he’d killed too many people to frequent barbershops; then, a muffled cry in his unleashed Oh Dear God Or Anyone voice; then the glimpse that Kayne had been craving. Just a little, just enough to make him want it.

    Passacaglia: A composition similar to a chaconne, typically in slow triple time with variations over a ground bass.

    John’s low, dark voice cuts through the room.

    “Oscar.”

    He stops. He does not look up, the cold rainwater weighing his head down such that he cannot lift his eyes from the floor.

    “...You’re drunk.”

    Summary

    A Christmas fic present for my best friend, Queen!

    In a post-canon imagining, Arthur and John are safely separated, Arthur has (bad) eyesight, Charlie is not in Spain, and the boys have settled into some semblance of normal life back in New York.

    Charlie enlists John's help in surprising Arthur with a Christmas tree, and they decorate it together while reminiscing on Christmases past.

    Come get your holiday fluff. ❤

    Moonlight filters through the curtained window, painting the room in shades of blue. It's a calm, quiet night. They’re safe, Arthur isn’t mortally wounded, there’s working tap water, there’s even a comfortable enough bed. John should be relaxed, right now, as much as he ever can relax. And he would be. It’s just…

    It’s just, his fucking arm.

    Summary

    John was free, finally unbound from Arthur’s body and gifted his own form, and it was bliss.

    Yet somehow, despite the fact that he could finally enjoy the luxury of living alongside Arthur in his own body, he had never felt so alone.

    John was free, finally his own for the first time in millennia, and it was torment.

    It starts small, as most things do. One straw atop the stack. One drop in the reservoir. It's just that the dam has to break eventually. They always do.

    (In which, trapped within Arthur's body, John begins to question how much of a life he's really allowed to live, and how much he has to give up to his host.)

    Summary

    Arthur had never been a vain man, at least no more than could be expected when attempting (for the last few years of his career) to foster an appearance of competence. He had no especially cruel thoughts about how he looked, nor did ego ever find perch on that particular branch of thinking. As for any other reasons he may want to cut a sharper figure, or draw an eye from across the room...well, they had no place in his life, and they hadn't for quite some time.

    Still, it was with no small amount of revulsion that he called to mind the appearance of each silver band. He knew which were neat and tidy, brief affairs meant to quell the urge, satiate the itch under his skin with a taste of metal. He knew which were jagged, and uneven, loudest in their protest as they roiled just above the surface of his skin like a tempest caught in moonlight.

    Summary

    Arthur sat frozen, blood turned cold within seconds.

    One word pinned him in place at the table, a dreadful word crammed between the gears of his brain. One word that threatened to snap this delicate string between him and Noel, just when he’d grabbed hold of it and made it his lifeline. One stupid, dangerous, terrifying word:

    Love.

    Shit.

    “Then can we not decide how things are done?”

    “To an extent, John, but--”

    “Arthur,” John interrupted. “Powers beyond your mortal comprehension are allotting us the potential for a second chance. My opportunity to be human, yours to raise your daughter. Do you intend to squander it catering to the whims of others again?”

    Summary

    Why did you leave the Dreamlands? Before becoming bound to this flesh, before taking this name, ‘John’, you told me that, as the King, you exited your realm to enter this one. Why?

     

    He looks at them again, through Arthur’s eyes. All the pretty lights in the sky. The stars. Planets. Galaxies.

    To find meaning in a world of indifference. Purpose in a sense of chaos. A limit after infinite suffering. As an act of mercy instead of cruelty.

     

    And light in an ocean of darkness.

    ___________

    With Arthur asleep by the fire, John reflects on what it means to be left behind. And just why he's so afraid of the dark.
