Summary
He'd never been what they thought he was. Champion, Chosen, Excelsior. There had always been a darkness, a weakness, a terror in him that none of them could see. Except three. And now, in the midst of a hopeless war, the one he murdered for it may have saved them all, the one who'd chosen him in spite of it might find rest, and the one he finally trusts enough to reveal it to needs to know why he believes, with all his heart, that they have reason to hope.
Their enemy might be an immortal demon queen, more than any mortal can hope to destroy. But the man he almost murdered as a boy ... always wins his second round.

Summary
Something bad is happening to John.
He can’t put his finger on it, but he knows two things. One, it started at some point between getting his own body and now— and two, it isn’t going to end well.

Summary
There had been times, there, in the beginning of their acquaintanceship with one another, that Arthur would have liked nothing more than to rend the King’s fragment from the fabric of his psyche and have his own goddamn eyes returned to him. He would have done anything to make it so, even if that meant the suffering of John before he had ever had the chance to receive the name.
And now he had both.
For some reason, some god had smiled down upon him for the first time in his fucking life and he was able to stumble out of hell with all five senses and that second soul safely housed in its own flesh.
Like a fucking miracle.
He only wished his part of the miracle didn’t sting so violently.

Post ritual, John has acquired his own body and Arthur, his sight. Though, it doesn't seem to be going as well as he'd hoped.Bookmarked by generalzero

Summary
They separate, and Arthur gets his eyes back. Everything they've ever wanted, they've achieved. But John seems to be withering, spending sleepless nights pacing around their shared apartment, avoiding Arthur and—the strangest of it all—making a deliberate effort to never as much as bump shoulders.
Or: John and his relationship with physical touch, in Arthur's body and in his own.

Summary
The delay is... more strange than the presence of the house itself. Raising a brow, Arthur prompts; "It's?"
I don't know, John murmurs, almost mystified. It's not quite a cabin. It isn't...rustic, exactly, but it's-- simple. Straightforward. It has a... purpose.
"What?"
What? Oh. He huffs. I don't know, Arthur. It's a house.
(Or; bad weather delays them from reaching Albany and continuing their trek downstate. There's something off about the house they stumble across. It wants to give them what they want, which is unfortunate, considering Arthur is less and less certain about knowing what that is.)

Summary
There’s a moment where he hesitates, weighing the risks and benefits, knowing how he’s probably about to get yelled at by John. Then he decides, fuck it, and commits anyway.
“I, ah. I was in an accident, about a year ago now. Lost a fair bit of my vision, and–“
“Arthur, why the fuck–“
“–a-and the embroidery, on the pillow, it, um. It’s so defined, I can… feel the shapes. I’ve always been partial to the textures of embroidery, I… it’s a floral pattern, right?”

Summary
Moonlight filters through the curtained window, painting the room in shades of blue. It's a calm, quiet night. They’re safe, Arthur isn’t mortally wounded, there’s working tap water, there’s even a comfortable enough bed. John should be relaxed, right now, as much as he ever can relax. And he would be. It’s just…
It’s just, his fucking arm.

Summary
“I know I haven’t been the most forthcoming with information, and I’m sorry; I do trust you, it’s just… These forces that surround me, Oscar, they’re not to be trifled with. You’ve witnessed firsthand the damage one creature can do, let alone the dozens, thousands of entities in worlds far more dangerous than anything you or I could imagine.” He hesitated. No. John had wanted this. He deserved to make his own choices, as much as he was able. “Earlier, you asked who…‘John’ was.”
“‘No one you’ll ever meet,’” Oscar echoed quietly. “Aye. I didn’t mean to pry.”
“No, no, you didn’t. I—” He stopped.
You can say it, Arthur.
He took another deep breath. And took the plunge.

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?

There is one obvious way for the Manager to make good on Kayne's deal after all is said and done, but the price is high. After their time together, John finally understands that at the core of love is loss and sacrifice.

Summary
It's bad enough that Arthur has woken up blind in the middle of a snowstorm with a broken leg, did the universe really need to throw in amnesia on top of it? Maybe the strange voice yelling in his head can tell him what happened- after he stops bleeding to death, of course.

Summary
In the Dreamlands, after Arthur and John have both sacrificed themselves, after the newly-whole King leaves Arthur broken and bleeding and alone, John makes a deal with Kayne. He will regain his place in Arthur's body, his hand and foot and eyes, and he will be able to help Arthur survive these next few moments.
The price, however, is Arthur's memories of their four months together.

Summary
The frustrated ranting trails off, and in a slightly weaker, more hesitant voice, he asks, “…could you… project yourself? For a bit?”
“Wh-what?”
John doesn’t quite mean for it to come out that audibly startled, almost hurt, but he can’t quite manage to catch himself before it slips out. He just can’t understand the request, unless—is Arthur trying to kick him out of their body? Does he want space that desperately, that he—
“It’s, ah… well, you know how it drains me,” Arthur continues, probably oblivious to John’s thoughts. “I think I could… use that, right now. To—burn off some of this restless energy.”
