    Summary

    For a moment he didn't know what was happening. His whole world shrunk to this one moment in time, this one-track minded fear of unclear origin, and he thought he was dying.
    He had never been dying before.

    ---

    Or, John has a nightmare, followed by an existential crisis over the inevitability of death.

    Summary

    Arthur wakes up. So many of his memories lately start with this. He wakes up, and everything hurts, and John is saying something—but John’s not saying anything this time, and there’s someone in this room with Arthur that sounds a lot like his friend.
    --
    John’s voice always rose and fell, low into a deep growling bass and high into a rough yell. But one constant, one word that never sounded different no matter the tone was how he said Arthur’s name. Emphasis on the ‘ar’ and ‘ur’, the ‘th’ in the middle always smooth like wind. Other people tended to hiss that sound, the ‘th’. With John, it seemed he knew exactly how to say it to make it glide.

    Based on all that, he deduced it was in fact John saying, “Arthur!”

    Summary

    "'There's- there's a napkin on the table. Royal blue, folded so carefully as to be a piece of art.' John reaches out blindly, softly feeling through the darkness of cursed sight.

    His fingers snag on a cloth.

    Not royal blue, not folded to perfection.

    Faust's pant leg, torn off once his limb had been removed at the joint.

    Grasping it like a lifeline, John lifts it to Arthur's mouth."

     

    Or, John distracts Arthur (and himself) by describing Faust as a meal. Arthur pays him back with a song.

    Summary

    Welcome to the Waylay. Not that many people visit that place intentionally. That's kind of the whole point. Unless, of course, you're visiting to kill an alternate version of yourself. Then sure, come right in. It was inevitable that this little bastion would get discovered eventually. And yet you may still get waylaid from your original goals. For better or for worse.

    The unmasking is upon us, after all. No being can preserve the social masquerade for so long. Nor should it, despite whatever that face in heavy theatrical make-up will say. Welcome to the unmasking, Kayne. We have all laid aside disguise but you.

    Summary

    Arthur grits his teeth and fumbles around for the soap. It’s a small bar, but it will have to do. “Look. I get that you’re angry, but this really isn’t the time for—”

    “I’m not angry.”

    Arthur scoffs. “No?”

    “No. I’m … let’s call it grieving.”

    .

    After killing Larson, Arthur and John leave Addison. They end up in a motel for the night, and when Arthur's emotions and traumas from the past few months bubble over into an inevitable breakdown, he finally communicates with John just what has happened the past few days and why Larson's blood has ended up on his hands.

    Summary

    Original fic title was, "Castle Kerringford but Barnabas Doesn't Jump the Gun So John is Just a Paranoid Attack Dog For the Rest of the Night.jpg" and I think that is a more effective summary than anything else I could put here. But, just in case:
    After a very long evening of pretending to not be slowly succumbing to elder-god-granted consumption, Arthur isn't confident he can keep his eyes open long enough to keep himself and his passenger from getting murdered in the middle of the night. But, maybe John can.

    Summary

    When piano teacher and retired composer Arthur Lester agreed to take a minor composing job with the Arkham Community Theatre group at the behest of his friend Henry Armitage, he didn’t expect to regain his inspiration and zest for life. Yet even as he rediscovers his muse, Arthur learns that the production—a musical adaptation of a peculiar play with a dark reputation—has been plagued by mysterious delays, accidents, and deaths. At the heart of it all is curmudgeonly librettist John, an even more peculiar figure who may be harboring the darkest secret of them all.

    Summary

    Finding the obelisk turned out a little more tedious than Kayne would have liked, and, if he was being honest (for once), both his Arthur and daughter (and that yellow guy with the wack name or whatever) hadn't sounded very enthused about his plan to make everything BETTER. And, with a little nudge from a bored fanfiction author, he decided to make a post about it.

Cult activity lurks around every corner, strange details differ in this world from theirs, and Faroe is not safe.
