    Summary

    Somewhere Else isn't right, and they've never talked about what happened in the Panopticon, but so what? They're together. The Fears aren’t gone, no, but behind a curtain, subdued.

    Martin actually loves the small-village life, farming and friends and found family. Jon is... managing. They're making it work.

    But the universe they landed in is occupied, and its current rulers are very interested in the new kids. Entities made of Fear, attached to a damaged ex-human and his surprisingly sneaky lover? Who could resist playing with that?

    Everyone has plans, and plans under those plans. What happens when a web grows too heavy to support its own weight?

    "Tears and blood, blood and tears," says Kayne.

    He is not wrong.

    Now with FANART! Ahh! It will be posted in the final chapter, because it's spoilerific, but ahh! Thank you, Pikachic!

    Summary

    Jing Yuan sighs, eyes drifting half-shut, and it is only then that he sees it: the faintest light filtering through his windows, coated in shadows that cling as water does to skin; the faintest glimpse of things utterly inhuman, sharp and pearlescent and looming, scaled limbs rippling like waves. A mirage that is there one second and gone the next, drenched in more than just rain.

    Cloudhymn, he thinks, and the thought slips away as easily as it came, losing itself in fog.

    There is no need to think of such things, or to see more than that. All he needs is to stay like this, pliant and still, neck bared to the moon.

    Or: There is no place aboard the Luofu that the Ancient Sea cannot reach. Not even the General’s bed.

    Summary

    Arthur has multiple problems to be worried about:

    1) he has woken up in an unknown location with no idea how he got there
    2) he can't hear John
    3) there are SO many monsters in this canyon, and they all want a piece of him

    3 and 2 are more connected than he realizes
