    Summary

    “Oh, darling, let me take care of you,” Bella murmurs, cupping Arthur’s face in her hands, staring directly into their eyes. It sounds like a vow, like a promise.

    John quite likes the way it sounds.

    Bella has been searching for Arthur ever since he disappeared from Arkham. She never expected a phone call from her father would be her first solid lead in months. She arrives in New York just a little after the Butcher is apprehended, and catches up to Arthur (finally) some time later.

    They have so many things to discuss, but... maybe it's okay to wait 'til morning.

    Summary

    Life is loss and nothing more. In the late 1940s, local killer-for-hire Faroe Saltzman returns to her hometown of New York. While there, one Andrew Larson hires her to kill a familiar name - but it has to be a coincidence. After a brush with Arthur Lester leaves a manipulative, angry demon called John in her head, Faroe realizes there is so much more to this world than she thought.

    Summary

    “This is wrong,” Jayce rasped, his voice strained with torment, so unlike the Jayce that had left mere hours ago to dance and drink and make merry and maybe even make love to the beautiful Mel Medarda. “This is too far back, I shouldn’t be here—”

    This Jayce was like a wild animal, bearded and shaggy, furious and heartbroken.

    The huge weapon thudded to the floor once again, and Viktor finally dared to speak.

    “Jayce, is that… you?”

    Stewing in his loneliness, research assistant Viktor witnesses an Anomaly take place in the laboratory he shares with Jayce Talis, potentially altering life as they know it (or might never come to know).

    Summary

    What if The Shifting Mound didn't take the Long Quiet's memories after receiving each vessel? What if they did not all come to her after five? What if The Long Quiet had to find each vessel?

    An eternity of suffering is the answer. But every so often it has moments of joy. Moments of pleasure.

    Summary

    Arthur Lester is dead.

    The last thing he remembers is the panicked run through the witch’s lair, with John’s voice guiding him in the darkness of the tunnels, and Yorick at his belt narrating his doom. A sharp pain in his abdomen, the blade piercing through his flesh, emerging on the other side, as blood seeps out of his body and lands in heavy droplets on the ground.
    John’s pained scream, calling his name.

    Darkness.

    Then he wakes in a painfully familiar place, with a familiar voice in his head.

    But there are still promises to keep – promises, whose weight hangs heavy on Arthur’s shoulders. Breaking Kayne’s deal threatens eternal suffering not just for him, but for everyone he’s ever loved; yet how can he find his way not only back to England, but to the right time, the right universe?

    In this place of wrath and tears, Arthur, and the entity within are forced to reckon with the past and with the future. Old wounds are opened, new knowledge uncovered. Will they light a fuse on the relationship with an old foe, risking everything they've worked for — or perhaps, gain an unexpected ally for the final day of judgement?

    Summary

    "We'll find you a nice cadaver, or something."

    After everything, Arthur and John finally have time to figure out how to get John his own body. It isn't a pleasant process. It turns out that having a fragment of a god excised from your mind has some side-effects, and being a fragment of a god suddenly resident in a human ex-corpse isn't particularly straightforward either.

    They'll help each other through it. They always do.
