    Summary

    John Lester. Arthur thought about him carrying that name around everywhere he went and grit his teeth like he was chewing sand. It was his own damned fault for telling John to pick whatever he wanted; he’d had plenty of opportunity to lay down ground rules, it wasn’t John’s fault Arthur had run out of other Lesters quite some time ago with no plans to bolster numbers.

    Not that he’d been much more enthused to gift his name to Bella. Why couldn’t he seem to stop comparing the scrap of the King in Yellow he’d stolen to his dead wife?

     

    (In which John and Arthur take up private investigating together once they find their way out of the Dreamlands and into separate bodies.)

    Summary

    They cut the tether, and the Fears rush out of their universe, bringing Jon and Martin with them. On the way to Somewhere Else, they pick up some unintended passengers. Now the four of them have to work their way around a new world and the challenges therein, while staying ahead of things Arthur and John have left behind.

    Rating is due to violence and complicated themes, not sex.

    Summary

    Kayne tasked Arthur and John to get him the Black Stone, only they have to find it in London.

    Sighs

    And chaos ensues.

    Or.

    Kayne sent Arthur and John to a whole different world, said world has a whole new system of their ‘gods’. Where they meet the Archivist, the crew and cause more destruction than canon. Buckle up everyone. This is one hell of a ride.

    Takes place right after Intermezzo.

    ————————

    Title is from the song “not a lot, just forever” by Adrianne Lenker

     

    Romance isn’t the main part of the story. John and Arthur can be interpreted as either romantic or platonic.

    Warning:
    The Author, unfortunately, has a very busy life and other fanfics to update. Updates for this is wonky. But I’ll make it work.

    Summary

    “You said…silver?”

    “Yes,” John said, not quite identifying the emotion lacing the question. “Your hair is a rich brown that borders on copper in the sun, only now it is interspersed with gray, making the brown appear slightly softer in color. The light from the fire gives it a sheen like spun silver and gold.”

    Arthur fell quiet again, his fingers still lingering in his hair like he might be able to feel the change in it.

    “How much?”

    John hummed. “More than half, maybe.”

    “Oh.” The word was more a breath, like he hadn’t meant for John to hear it.

    “Oh?”
    .

    On his 43rd birthday, Arthur grapples with some conflicting feelings regarding his hair.

    Summary

    Arthur wakes up. So many of his memories lately start with this. He wakes up, and everything hurts, and John is saying something—but John’s not saying anything this time, and there’s someone in this room with Arthur that sounds a lot like his friend.
    --
    John’s voice always rose and fell, low into a deep growling bass and high into a rough yell. But one constant, one word that never sounded different no matter the tone was how he said Arthur’s name. Emphasis on the ‘ar’ and ‘ur’, the ‘th’ in the middle always smooth like wind. Other people tended to hiss that sound, the ‘th’. With John, it seemed he knew exactly how to say it to make it glide.

    Based on all that, he deduced it was in fact John saying, “Arthur!”

    Summary

    "Are you comfortable?"
    "I am."
    "Good. Then let's explore your true form, shall we? Together."
    "Are you sure? I'm not..."
    "Human? John, the only part of you that's ever been human is your willingness to change for the better. This is no different."

    I wanted to explore what John's body might be like and, well, things might've gotten a little out of hand. No idea if this will be sexy to anyone, to me it just ended up being an excuse to see just how inhuman we can make the anatomy while still staying vaguely in the vicinity of something that could be considered sex. Enjoy?
