Summary
After gaining the Blackstone at last, Kayne finds his way to the Waylay, determined to find out for certain who's been aiding Arthur and John before he sets out to make his final wager. The Manager, however, is not entirely defenseless. Kayne finds himself confronted with a place that clearly knows him far too well, and that is far too skilled at turning him against himself in a very literal sense.
Featuring: blood, extremely weird times with mirrors, blood, questions about free will and the nature of self, violence, blood, and the infinite chorus of voices in Kayne's head. Also: quite a bit of blood.

Summary
"Welcome back to the Waylay, Mr. Lester. Here's your Blood & Sand — and a root beer float for your little girl. I'll let your friend know you've arrived safe and sound, sir."
Arthur has been so busy lately, he's barely had any time to spend with Faroe, so he's brought her out this evening for a treat by way of apology.
At least, he's pretty sure that's why the two of them are here.
He's less sure of other things, like: why Parker was waiting for them. How they got here. Where "here" actually is. Why Parker watches him with a terrible sadness that only deepens whenever Arthur looks at Faroe.
And why Arthur keeps getting the feeling that someone has reached straight into his chest, and torn out half his heart.

Summary
Enter Arthur Lester. Your English rose, your songbird, your Romeo if you want to be dramatic. He's one of many, millions of others scattered across crimson keys like blood-red nebulae.
He's horribly melodramatic. It's almost cute. He cries much more than he should, really, and god is he loud when he screams. You can't hate it though, the sound is quite beautiful. His heart is in the right place though, and he always knows what he wants. He's like you, in a way. So of course, you need to talk to him.

Summary
Arthur thinks he’s crying. Kayne once told him that he was never quiet even when he couldn’t speak, and this is what he must’ve meant. He has no lungs to scream but there’s a wave of some distant emotion, old and deep and terrible, welling up from wherever his soul resides and it takes the shape of a desperate and helpless cry. But he’s only a whisper, more filth than man, and there’s mud where his tongue used to be.
//
Or, Arthur can do nothing but think.

Summary
The Big Apple. City of opportunity, and of the future, but one that's swarming with an underbelly deeper then any ocean.
This is where John, Arthur and Noel have decided to start their new lives as private investigators. Still connected in body, John and Arthur try to navigate a life neither signed up for, with Noel acting as peacekeeper and instigator. It's not perfect, but it's a life that works for them, hard-earned and carved from the city that never sleeps.
This is until their routine is disturbed by a new client, claiming his employees are turning up dead and looking to hire Lester & Co. to suss out the killer. There's just one problem for Arthur: their client represents the Ubangi Club, a venue well known for its female impersonators. Can Arthur navigate the case while keeping his past and present separate? Or will he be forced to confront his old life once and for all?

Summary
"John felt almost dizzy: motion sick and helpless in the heart of the room. For a moment, he couldn’t help but wonder what it might be like to be on the other side of the glass, to drift endlessly in a sea of dazzling colors and hypnotic visions."
-----
John breaks into an aquarium in the middle of the night for a bit of quiet reflection. Unfortunately for him, he runs into a familiar face who has his own thoughts to get lost in as they both admire the ocean life.
