Summary
Jon never knew it could be so cold.
It’s so cold that the jagged metal piercing his side feels like an icicle. So cold he can’t feel his fingers, his toes, his back against the snow, though he hears it crunching beneath him. So cold his eyes feel like they’re growing thin sheets of frost between every blink.
It seems unfair that anything this cold could still hurt.

Summary
Parker’s voice was low. Heated. “Yeah. I think you look good.” A pause. “Real good.”
"…Does that mean I should... keep it?" Sunny asked.
Parker’s gulp was audible. “I wouldn't complain."

Summary
Odd had not been expecting the return to Carcosa, much less completely naked, and even further less while he was completely out of his gourd.
This was fine! He was a very good actor. An exceptionally good actor. The actoriest-actor who ever acted, and it appeared that at some point during their transport, Dagon or someone had put some pants on him.

Summary
Love. Like it meant anything. Did anything. Other than making babies, or spreading diseases, or who the fuck knew what.
A little glimpse into Lilith’s hobby: killing Arthur’s parents. It doesn’t always go as planned.

Summary
Another edition of the Mortal Coil, which started life as a fanzine for Hastur and Arthur, and has grown. Oh, those Yithians...

“You willing to try this, baby?”
“Yes, Parker. I trust you.”
He had to. Without that foundation, there was no path forward.

Summary
Faroe looked panicked. “They’re fighting.”
They.
He knew. Her scent. Her fear. He knew. “Son of a bitch!” Dagon said, and stood.

Summary
Cthulhu was stunned. A beach day episode?
A beach day episode…
Why… he owned a beach!
A big one, too, with more than enough room for mortal shenanigans!
This would work. It was a brilliant idea. Nothing could go wrong.

Summary
Name’s Parker Yang, and I hunt monsters.
How’s not important. What matters is there’s one who I can’t beat: the Butcher, Dennis Collins, serial killer. Well, I figured out one way to get close. I hired his partner, Arthur Lester, private eye, to find my missing younger brother.
The plan seems like it’s working great, but it’s got some snags. Luke wasn’t kidnapped this morning, but two years ago by the King in Yellow, and Arthur’s too smart to miss the discrepancy. It don’t help that Arthur’s got some damage from the King over tragedy with his kid. In fact, the King’s all over hell, because my vigilante partner, Charlie, is real fucked up from his time with the King, too.
Look, I just want to save my city. But now there’s a researcher digging in old cult ruins and waking monsters, some goddess named Lilith and her priest Oscar who know way too damn much, and to top it off, I’m falling for Arthur. Hard.
That ain’t a safe thing to do.
We’re all lying. We’re all keeping secrets. And I got a bad feeling that one stray spark’s all it’ll take to light it all on fire.

Summary
“It’s okay, Artie,” I tell you, patting your arm, my own still around you. “Everybody figures out eventually that it’s pointless.”
“What… what is?”
“You know. Relationships. Love. Compassion. None of it matters in the end."

Summary
And you cry out. Long. so long, one interminable wail with more breath than you fucking have in your body, and I just let you run out of air because what else can I do?

Summary
Nobody went after Faroe’s people and got away with it. Not while Nibbles was on the case.

Summary
Of course it wasn’t fine and wouldn't be for some time, and Parker knew that, was geared up and ready for the long haul, prepared. Sunny was worth it, even if—yes, he knew—Sunny might never be fully all right again.

Summary
Faroe let out a grunt as a cramp gripped her, low in her belly; it was very nearly at the joints of her hips, which was…
Not yet, she thought. Please. It wasn't supposed to start yet. Not while Dad was still gone.

Summary
“Better,” said the Keeper.
Arthur looked up. “Did something happen?”
“Yes. They have settled before you, watching you closely, in neat little rows."
Why? Because he’d been thinking about forgiveness? No—because he’d been approaching the fact that he’d forgiven Hastur. That dragged a set of emotions behind it, for sure.

Summary
Dagon’s relief was visible. All his gills fluttered. A few of the spines along his back and arms sort of flexed, then folded tight. “You gotta take up the con again. You feel me?”
“Play the game. Yes. We can do that,” Arthur said for them all before anyone could argue.
Parker met their gazes, one by one. “Are you up for it?”
Faroe stood tall and raised her chin. “For Carcosa. Yes.”

Summary
The scream was not beautiful, not performed, not carefully intonated so as to enhance the music of life.
This was just pain.

Summary
Sunny wished he were in more of a space to appreciate Parker’s strength. Carrying him; defending him; taking on an Outer God in his name. (And if that wasn’t worship, Sunny was hard-pressed to think what was.) In time, probably, he’d process it better, respond with appropriate gratitude, shower Parker with the love he deserved. Right now, he just… wanted to not be.

One runs.
One wakes.
One chooses.
One weeps.
Some secrets are too big to reveal just yet.

It was Outer God bullshit, all of it. Even so... Tabby trusted the Keeper.
