Summary
One of his feet finds the edge of the outcrop and the other one finds nothing but empty air. His stomach lurches with the dizziness of a missed step, his boots have nowhere near enough traction, and he slips—falls.
They hit another ledge on the way down, an impact that he feels all the way through his ribcage, knocking the wind out of him. Scrabbling sounds, a gentle pull at his shoulder, and he realizes John is trying to hold on. And so is he, reflexively, clinging with his right hand while his legs kick uselessly at the void beneath them.
It’s not enough. Old stone crumbles under their weight and once again they’re plummeting.
It is a dizzying few seconds of air rushing past them, and then they hit the ground with a snap that sends fireworks of pain through Arthur’s legs and all the way up his spine. He’s vaguely aware of screaming. Maybe his.
And then, blessedly, silence. -

Summary
After the plateau, Kayne makes a different deal with Arthur. He'll return John to him, his John, just as they were before... but first, Arthur must find a way to leave the borders of Addison. Alone.
It proves harder than he expected—but to get his friend back where he belongs? There's nothing he wouldn't do. Nothing he wouldn't suffer, wouldn't sacrifice.
He'll find a way through. What comes afterwards doesn't matter.

Summary
Arthur’s heart flutters unevenly, arrhythmic. Vague sparking signals cannot make it past the broken connection of his severed spine. There is warmth in his core, still, but it is fading rapidly in the frigid air. The Dark World compels him to live, yes—but it does nothing more.
And like that, enveloped wholly in his blood and sinew once again, it occurs to him:
Maybe he can do something about this.
If he wants his friend back, he needs to do something about this.
He stretches his awareness outward once again, and begins to knit.
After dying at Kayne's hands, John and Arthur find themselves in the Dark World. Possessed of two separate bodies, though... perhaps not quite as separate, or as whole, as they were hoping.
Nothing's ever easy, is it?

Summary
When the weight of his trauma starts to wear Arthur a little too thin, John does the only thing that any disembodied spirit with one hand and one foot could do: he finds a pen. At least one of them knows when to ask for help.
