    Summary

    He’s able to get the words “You wouldn’t believe the line at Larry’s, it was to the curb—” out before his gaze catches on something huge. He stares and his grin freezes and his brain does this funny thing like it’s been stalled.

    It’s tall and sharp and black and has too many angles and too many shadows, and Noel feels that old, familiar primal sensation of fear run through his entire body.

    He drops the sandwiches and grabs the nearest object in one breath, which happens to be a cookbook and throws it with all his strength at the creature standing too close, way too close to Arthur.
    ___

    Noel's pretty calm when it comes to most things. He knows how to keep that voice, the little panicky one that pops up when he gets anxious, quiet. Will that cool demeanor remain intact when he visits the boys and sees something he wasn't meant to, something that reminds him of his past?

    Summary

    Now with a body of his own, John finds himself dwelling on certain thoughts that he once avoided. In particular: the nature of the act of consuming. The mortal need for sustenance. Some of the things they’ve had to do to survive… and his own, newly-made corporeal form, that has gone so perfectly untouched by them all.

    In the end, he comes to one very simple conclusion. He wants visible proof of everything he's survived, and he wants to give something back to his friend. There's one easy way for him to have both.

    Summary

    In the months he had existed in a body of his own, a day had yet to pass without his hair giving him grief in some manner or another—namely, becoming caught on anything and everything.

    His arms when he slept.

    The bedroom door.

    The coat rack.

    The kitchen drawers.

    The refrigerator.

    The bookshelves.

    Hell, even Arthur, when they found themselves tangled up with each other more often than not.

    It was on one particular afternoon that Arthur brought it up.
    .
    .
    .
    In which John's hair causes him no end of annoyance and Arthur offers a surprisingly simple solution.

    Summary

    Reunited in the Dark World, but finding themselves with two separate bodies, John and Arthur realize that neither of them are enjoying the distance.

    And, well. John’s body is physical, but it’s malleable enough that they can still make it work. It’s not going to be an elegant rejoining, per se—but anything’s worth it if they can be together again.
