Summary
A man filled with guilt, a fractured part of an eldritch entity connecting with humanity, and a girl who is being pulled towards a fate chosen for her since birth. Somehow, they all find each other and learn what it is to have a family.
It's not as sweet as the summary wants you to believe.

Summary
[original summary]
Arthur Lester is dead.
The last thing he remembers is the panicked run through the witch’s lair, with John’s voice guiding him in the darkness of the tunnels, and Yorick at his belt narrating his doom. A sharp pain in his abdomen, the blade piercing through his flesh, emerging on the other side, as blood seeps out of his body and lands in heavy droplets on the ground.
John’s pained scream, calling his name.Darkness.
Then he wakes in a painfully familiar place, with a familiar voice in his head.
But there are still promises to keep – promises, whose weight hangs heavy on Arthur’s shoulders. Breaking Kayne’s deal threatens eternal suffering not just for him, but for everyone he’s ever loved; yet how can he find his way not only back to England, but to the right time, the right universe?
In this place of wrath and tears, Arthur, and the entity within are forced to reckon with the past and with the future. Old wounds are opened, new knowledge uncovered. Will they light a fuse on the relationship with an old foe, risking everything they've worked for — or perhaps, gain an unexpected ally for the final day of judgement?

Summary
Arthur Lester feels so... small, like an ant next to humans would. He hasn't felt like this in years, long before John came into his life. Now that he has a chance to rest inside The Red Right Hand though, that fuzzy feeling comes back again.
And unfortunately, It's Yellow who's with him.

Summary
Nighttime is a time of peace for Yellow; he may have to share it with John, but at least he's free from Arthur for a few hours.
It gives him time to think, at least.(In which Yellow, John and Arthur all share a body simultaneously. They're as happy about it as you'd expect)

Summary
Arthur Lester awoke in a cold cabin, for the first time in his life, alone. Or so he thought, until he heard a familiar, but distinctly alien voice of his daemon reciting the first words it had ever spoken to him.
"Don't you remember?"

Summary
He gets it at last. What Arthur had been trying to do with him. Looking for in him. Hoping to turn him into. And why.
Just to make that pain go away, pretend that it’s not there because it shouldn’t be. Can’t be.
Because how can it be hurting so much when it’s gone?
_________________________________
Phantom pain refers to painful sensation perceived in a body part that is no longer present subsequent to surgical or traumatic removal.

Summary
“Are you going to kill me now?” his Arthur asks, shocking them both into another moment of tense, breathless apprehension. The question lingers in the air, Arthur’s hand remains inside that bag, and John’s eyes remain fixed on the other’s face. The other Arthur meets them with just about the same indifference he always has. Until at last, his eyes shift over to their bag as well.
“Are you?” he asks, and John can feel the way his friend’s fingers tighten around the cool metal of that gun, itching for that trigger, contemplating the question. It really would be so easy for him, wouldn’t it? To pull it out of that bag and aim it at his chest, knowing that John would not dare try to stop him, even if he wants to.
_______
An alternate version of "The Fire" where John and Arthur meet Darkthur instead of Malam. Testing John's loyalty and devotion while asking Arthur the question of all questions. Does he deserve to die?

Summary
Maybe if he were to scream and wail in anguish, if he were any more human, then perhaps he would be granted mercy from whichever god available, listening. However, Yellow is not that kind of person.
He is not a person.
— · Post season 4, a what-if scenario of Arthur and John having been separated, and having parted ways. With new changes, Arthur returns to the Dream Lands to save someone.

Summary
Arthur, a begrudging citizen of Carcosa under The Yellow King, is unexpectedly saved by a mysterious wizard. When he refuses to offer up information to his king to help find the wanted stranger, he is cursed with blindness for his disobedience.

In his time there, he becomes attached to the group, finding a better home under the ocean than what waits for him when he returns to Carcosa. His focus on regaining his sight is lost as he realizes the danger posed to the group by The King and the reality of his new companions' pasts.

Summary
ARTHUR: Kayne? Why are you here?
KAYNE: Oh, my dear, I’m simply here to give you all an update.
ARTHUR: Well, you can fuck off. I don’t want you anywhere near my daughter.
KAYNE: Come on, Arty! It’ll be fun!
[ARTHUR GROWS ANGRIER]
ARTHUR: I didn’t think I was in the business of hurting people anymore— this is the afterlife after all, but if you don’t leave, I may have to revisit my hobby of eye gouging, Kayne.
KAYNE: Oh, you’d love that, wouldn’t you? I would indulge, but unfortunately Arthur, you can’t hurt me here. And I can’t hurt you! It’s a lose-lose, but it is what it is. Now go fetch your boyfriend and the rest.

Summary
Arthur, what the hell is going on? Why can't I see anything?! John yelled and he was back, Arthur thought, feeling dizzy and giddy at the same time, not quite knowing if it was because of his injuries or because of happiness. He was back. He had John back.
Where are we? What did you do? Another voice then suddenly in his head though and it was John's voice.
And not John's voice.
Arthur, John said slowly. Who is that? I am the King in Yellow, Yellow hissed. Who are you?
