Summary
When Hastur regained the lost fragment of His soul, it triggered one of His most primal needs, and Arthur Lester was the only immediately available vessel...

Summary
A mixed selection of Malevoween treats! Each chapter is a ficlet inspired by a combination of one SFW and one NSFW prompt. Not all of them are explicit, but many probably will be.
Each chapter title is the relevant character/s, NSFW prompt, and the rating for that chapter. Additional tags/warnings in the chapter summaries; treat the chapter titles as tags/warnings themselves.

Summary
Three loosely-connected scenes from the private life of John Doe and Arthur Lester, post-separation.
This fic is set some time after the events of All That Is Mine To Me; it will make perfect sense as a standalone separate-bodies smutfic, but the details of Arthur's disabilities and John's not-quite-humanness will be spoilers.

Summary
Arthur talks in his sleep.
Not every night, but most nights. Usually it’s nothing coherent, just mutterings and murmurings and bitten-off half-words. Little clues to whatever’s occupying his sleeping mind. John gathers these scraps and spends his nights piecing them together: a pleasant dream, or a nightmare? Remembered or purely imagined?
---
In the prison pit, John can't help but listen when Arthur talks in his sleep. His mistake, in the realm of the King of Dreams, is trusting what he hears. -

Summary
"What happened to your finger?"

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.

Grief, and other things not discussed in polite society by Stringgoblin

Summary
It was as if that empty space inside him grew and grew until it was his own grief he was walking through, endless and helpless and with nothing to do but place one foot in front of the other. It was almost comfortable. Neither of the others were any good at, you know, talking. About feelings and such. It was better, really, if he just… kept moving, through this empty, open space. He could do that. It was easy. So easy to just move through nothingness.

Hamid's family are bad at communication. He'd always known this. It wasn't until Aziza died that he came to fully understand the reason why. -

Summary
"John. Remind me why we're here again."
"... we're on a case."
"What case?"
"An inheritance dispute? We've spent the last two days tracking down property records. It's been incredibly dull."
"Quite. Does it have anything to do with, say, ghosts? Spectres? Wraiths? Hauntings or revenants of any kind?"
"Not yet."
"Not yet. So why in the name of fuck -" Arthur caught himself just at the edge of shouting and continued in a low, irritated snarl. "Why the fuck are we suddenly dealing with a - a sentient typewriter?"-----
While working a case, Arthur and John encounter the ghost of Edgar Allan Poe, who wants to try his hand at writing popular music.
