    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

    It took Arthur two weeks to actually propose the idea. He’d expected it to take another two at least to convince John to try it, but John had only hesitated a moment before asking Arthur if he was sure.

    In answer, Arthur had retrieved the rope.

    .

    John has trouble settling into his new body, and Arthur decides to tie him up in an attempt to ground him in it.

    Summary

    But things really were going smoothly, and they really were beginning to settle into their respective bodies, even with the occasional road bump. Even if there was still quite a lot John needed to learn about the world now that he was an active participant in it—social niceties and clothing and keeping up appearances.

    Yes, he had to wear shoes.

    Yes, he had to keep his napkin in his lap.

    Yes, he had to wait for the cab to pull up to the curb instead of running into the middle of the fucking road to fetch one himself and Arthur, why have you never done this before—

    And, goddamn it all, he needed to stop touching him.
    .
    .
    .
    Arthur slowly comes to realize that maybe his apprehension surrounding John's touch isn't entirely because of the opinions of the public.
