Summary
Noel notices how John looks at Arthur. It's cautious, fragile; patient. It's wondrous and scared shitless. It's kind; enamored.
Noel knows, because that's how he looks at John. Sure, John reminds Noel of his lingering, deep-seated fear. It's just a knee-jerk reaction, at this point.
He's getting better. Noel expected John to look at Arthur with irritation. Contempt. Pity. Hell, even malice.
But all he finds is love. Genuine, unadulterated love. He knows, because he feels that way for Arthur. This mystery of a man who's accepted every facet of him. He deserves so much love.
Maybe, Noel does, too.

Summary
There's a soft knock at the door. Shit.
“Were we expecting company?”
No. Yes. Arthur wasn't supposed to know. John's pretty sure the point of a “surprise party” is that it stays a surprise. He's not completely sure, though. The details are a little fuzzy.
“Not that I know of?” He feigns innocence. He can't have Arthur knowing they've been planning this. John should have known better; they're all as subtle as a herd of elephants.
Arthur's already pushing back his chair, standing up, and heading to the door. John panics. It's too late. Arthur's turning the knob.
“Happy Birthday!”

Summary
John’s not sure about a lot of things. He’s not sure of his new body, for one. He’s not sure if he's properly baked this cake, for another. He’s definitely not sure how Arthur feels about him. Arthur loves him as a friend, but John? John loves Arthur like he’s his entire existence. His soul. His humanity. His purpose.
“John?” Arthur chuckles. It’s melodious. “What’s taking you so long?”
“Coming!”
John is in love with Arthur. John will do anything for Arthur’s happiness. He’s even made a cake for his birthday and he’s never baked before. John hopes it’s edible.

Summary
She's had too much to drink. She should have stopped after her second Manhattan, but she was trying to chase off the stressors of the day. Combined with her girlfriend’s lovely and lulling chatter, she didn't want the evening to end.
She wanted to live in that moment. She wanted to be wrapped up in Thea's voice.
She leans heavily against Thea on their way home. It's not far, so Eliza's not worried. She's safe with her, she knows. She's not worried.
A thought strikes her. She doesn't know how Thea's piña colada tasted. She wants to know. Right now.

A Lyre Of Heathens: The White Raven & The Hawk by Augenblickgotter, excessnight

Summary
Long ago, the great ravens that we know of today, were white as untouched snow. With ivory feathers that shone like diamonds in the sunlight, they were worshipped for their wit and intelligence.
Oh, there have been tales of how the raven's wings turned black as night, but none of them are the true account.
Of course, Apollo was involved, as was Hermes, but in all of history there is no mention of Odin's ravens, or how they played a role in the fable. No mention of Muninn's imprisonment at the hands of the Trickster god, or Huginn's daring rescue. It seems, all has been erased from history. Until now...
This is that tale.

The Coroner Chronicles by excessnight
Fandom: Hazbin Hotel (Cartoon), The Magnus Archives (Podcast)
07 Oct 2024
Summary
Alastor looked at where Lucifer had gestured, eyes narrowing slightly despite the wide grin on his face. It was a tape recorder. A simple thing, really. They'd been invented only a few years after his own passing and he'd taken quite a liking to them. Not that Lucifer had to know that and it wasn't something that Alastor would omit willingly.
"And what do you suppose I do with that, sire?"
"Well, knowing you," Lucifer started, giving a self-satisfactory smile. "You like to hear the sound of your own voice. And because it is required that you document the souls in which you collect. That's not up for discussion, either, by the way," he said, so clearly making it known it was an explicit order.
Alastor let out a grumbling sigh, narrowing his eyes further, as he felt his smile go taunt with dissatisfaction. There was very little he could complain about when it came to orders given by his king, even if he did want to. And he did want to, oh so very much.
"As you wish, Your Majesty."
"Great!" Lucifer said happily. "I look forward to listening to your chronicles, my deer."

Summary
“You gave this up.” Arthur’s tone has a gravity to it, as though he’s not stating a fact they both know well.
“Yes.” John matches his demeanor.
“You gave this up for me.” John gave up many things for many reasons, and most of those can be traced back to Arthur Lester. There’s no reason to lie. They both know it’s true.

Summary
When John gets his own body, he expects that he’d be just like Arthur: a male type alpha. It turns out that his new body is type beta instead. After finding Parker once more, they all try to settle into a more mundane life. However, when Parker and Arthur travel for a case and John is left to keep watch over the household, the stress becomes overwhelming and his body reacts accordingly.
It had been hard enough adjusting to being a beta. How the hell is he supposed to adjust to becoming an omega?

Summary
Arthur Lester was one of the best investigators that BEAAST had ever had, until John Doe fucked up and he was blinded in the field. Now he's stuck working with John until his boss decides that both of them have learned their lessons, and a bunch of boring shifts sorting eldritch artifacts are in his future.
That is, of course, the plan. But things rarely go as planned for Arthur.

The King has found a new angle, a fresh wound to prod, another dark corner of Arthur’s mind to haunt.
