    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.

    Summary

    Something bad is happening to John.

    He can’t put his finger on it, but he knows two things. One, it started at some point between getting his own body and now— and two, it isn’t going to end well.

    Summary

    In exchange for getting John back and away from the King in Yellow, Arthur Lester has agreed to give up his escape from the Dreamlands and allow Kayne to send him and John somewhere else. Somewhere few have been.

    With a seemingly innocent plane of reality becoming rapidly stranger, Arthur and John are running low on chances to escape, all while pursued by an alien, otherworldly monster with no true name, and an ax to grind against them both.

    But they have to escape. Lest they become a part of the monster's forest forever.

    Summary

    Half of the King in Yellow gets ejected through a portal on a failed ritual. To return, he must perform a human sacrifice - harder than it first seems, as the entity struggles to adapt to the peculiar ways of mortals. In a stroke of luck, he finds the perfect sacrifice in the form of one drunken, surly ex-PI: Arthur Lester.

    In the meanwhile, Arkham is in the swing of Prohibition and everyone knows how things work around here. A chance meeting and an abrupt kidnapping put John and Arthur on a case: one where secrets lurk behind every mask and blood flows thicker than gin.

    Summary

    Jonathan Sims is a first time English professor at a lower tier university in London who absolutely hates poetry. Unfortunately, he has been put in charge of a poetry class. Despite his reluctance, he vows to make this the most comprehensive poetry class he can. His students will EARN their grades, and he will accept nothing less than perfect form! Half rhymes get half marks!

    Martin Blackwood is a former employee of a tea shop who adores poetry. After spending several years working part time jobs to support himself and his ailing mother, he has managed to scrap together enough funds and a high school equivalency diploma so that he can take some courses and get a job where he won't have to be on his feet all day. Delighted to have room in his schedule for one elective, he naturally pursues a poetry class. Unfortunately, his new professor hates the subject. And he seems to hate Martin, too.

    Then Tim decides to get the whole class to write increasingly sappy love poetry about their professor to hand in as assignments for a prank and despite refusing to take part, somehow this still makes things worse for Martin specifically.

    Summary

    When Elias seeks a replacement for Gertrude, he's looking for someone already Marked. He finds one - the researcher touched by Forsaken will do just fine.

    In which Martin is the Oxford educated researcher and Jon is the under qualified librarian-come-archival assistant.

    Originally teen + up for cursing and cannon-typical horror/violence. Upgraded to M for some pretty intense mental health related content in S4.

    Summary

    “You’re really suggesting this,” Martin says, voice pulled thin.
    “Yes.” No hesitation.
    “You would- actually do it?”
    “I would.”
    “With me.”
    Yes, Martin.”
    “Why?” Because love is blind, says something cliché and cruel in the pit of his gut. Christ, he never was much of a poet, was he?

    Or,

    When Jon asks Martin to Quit the Archives with him, Martin says yes. Things don't go as planned. In the Scottish Highlands, they hurt, and they heal.

    London, 1849.

    As the Entities ascend in power, plots are set in motion, new friends are made, and an apprentice archive utterly fails to keep those new friends at arms length.

    Perhaps if they were under his auspices, Jon would be able to keep his assistants away from the worst of it. He could certainly try.

    Summary

    A week and a half before Christmas, Jon and Martin have been set up on a blind date – just not with each other. But as Jon overhears a guy at the pub hope that his date doesn’t look a particular way, and then sees a man by that description and very out of place in the pub, he decides to take over while abandoning his own.

    As long as this only lasts tonight and they don’t want to see each other again, Jon should be absolutely fine pretending to be someone he’s not.

    He just needs to not fall in love with this man. This very cute, very tall, very sweet man.

    Oh no.

    There is a name, scrawled on the thin skin just below Martin's left shoulder blade. That name is Jonathan.

    It's not terribly helpful, if he's being honest. He's met a lot of Jonathans.

    Summary

    Jon hadn’t anticipated just how quiet it would be at Daisy’s cottage. He definitely hadn’t anticipated how that quiet settles something inside of him, like balm on an injury he didn’t know he had. He’d thought the lack of human presence would make him more aware of the loss still sitting in the pit of his stomach, heavy and solid, but it’s … it’s nice to have the space to process things. To know that he’s currently alone by choice, not by happenstance, and that he has the freedom to just be. Jon lets the solitude envelop him like a weighted blanket, warm and comfortable and safe.

    It’s a few days later when he first meets the man who pets the cows.

    .

    Following the loss of his grandmother, Jon takes a sabbatical and moves up to northern Scotland to stay in Daisy's cabin and study the religious culture of the village near it. There, he meets Martin, his apparent and unwanted neighbor who makes odd jokes and seems to exist solely to ruin Jon's attempts at finally getting some peace and quiet. But as Jon spends more time with Martin, he begins to warm up to him and, as time goes on, to fall in love with him.

    It just takes him a bit to realize that the man he's fallen in love with is a god.

    Summary

    Jon is a prisoner of the fae who can only be freed by true love's kiss. Martin needs to go Under the Hill for things you can't find anywhere else.
    Individual fics may be marked angst or have cliffhangers, etc, but the series as a whole will have a happy ending!
