Summary
Instead of visible repugnance after the third sip like they expected, Noel leans back with a sigh, expression conflicted. John recognizes a similar blush coloring in his face that he knew Arthur had likely already begun to acquire - it usually happened soon after drinking something with alcohol. The pink blossoming beneath his skin only served to highlight Noel’s features, which were already bathed in the afternoon sun reflecting through the window - an interesting hue which framed him in a subtle, enticing spotlight of illumination, John muses, keeping the thought to himself.
“Either this is growing on me, or my tongue is dying.” He holds the bottle aloft, leaning into the stiff seat cushion, staring at it like it held any new answers for him. “You’re up, Arthur.”
On a train bound for New York, Arthur and Noel meet under very different circumstances.

Summary
I wish you could see it, John continues once Arthur resettled with a deep exhale. I think you will again one day, if we're separated. When we're separated, he adds forcefully.
Another quiet murmur. John looks to the window again.
Arthur takes a nap, much to John's displeasure.

Summary
“To be honest, kid,” Noel says, placing something gently down on the desk. “I thought you’d have solved it by now, being a private investigator and all.”
“Solved what?” Arthur says, confused.
“The mystery of Arthur Lester’s birthday.” Noel replies, plainly.
“What are you talking about?” Arthur frowns. “My birthday isn’t for another -” He pauses. He does some quick maths in his head. “What’s the date today?”
There's something crucial Arthur has forgotten. Thankfully, he has John and Noel to remind him.

Summary
Arthur nods again, though Noel isn’t sure if he’s nodding to him. “What if I were to stay in bed with you tonight?”
Noel stares at him in surprise. “Why would-”
“John can wake you up when he senses you getting agitated. Stop it before it gets too bad. It was his idea.” Arthur tags on at the end. “You deserve to get some rest, Noel.”
Noel nods to himself. “Yeah. I think we could try that.”Nightmares, morse-code and chess. It's one way to get through the night.

Bookmarker's Notes
One of my favorite comfort fics of all time with prose that is reminiscent of F. Scott Fitzgerald. My sweet, touch-starved boys. 🥺

Summary
“Do you think that’s weakness? To recognize what’s beyond bearing?” John’s voice is insistent, demanding an answer. He isn’t weak, and they both know it. There’s nothing weak in having survived this long, in the face of what’s coming for them.
In nowhere specific, nowhen specific, Arthur and John seek comfort in shared hurts.

Summary
" A Da Capo Aria is a musical structure composed of three sections: the first could be a standalone piece with full accompaniment. The second contrasts with the first in style, musical key, and mood, often with only piano accompaniment. The third is a repeat of the first section, hence "da capo" or begin from the start. This section often has embellishments from the singer."
The first section is John's process of moving from the entity to John Doe, gaining humanity. (eps 1-20)
The second section is after 20, when he's in the dark world. It's an aria, a solo. The piano accompaniment is the memory/idea of Arthur persisting with John throughout.
The third section is a repeat of the first, with embellishments. Or, him learning how to function with humanity, but it's different because once upon a time he HAD that sense of humanity. So it's more remembering who he wants to be than learning anew. (eps 24-intermezzo)Bookmarked by SeerOfTime

Summary
Once upon a time, Arthur's sacrifice in the snow worked; the King in Yellow was defeated, and John Doe was free to live out the rest of his life in Arthur's body. All it took was Arthur's life. It was a price Arthur had made his peace with, a price he was willing to pay.
He forgot to ask if John was willing to let Arthur go.

Summary
John and Arthur wind up in the Dark World, separated. For John, it's his third time here, and it's different than he remembers - strange, moving lights illuminate a world with velvet curtains, metal frames, and oddly flat architecture. A single light in the darkness, he begins to search for his lost friend. Along the way, John meets several other Arthurs from several other worlds. Each have their own role to play, but John is looking for his own theatre.
