Summary
AU Idea:
At the end of season 3, The King In Yellow attempts to Torture Arthur for information. This causes John to go ballistic, manifesting outside of Arthur and becoming absorbed into Hastur. After an internal battle that lasts for 6 days and nights, John emerges victorious and gains control of the body. One problem; Arthur has been unconscious since the two of them separated. Weeks go by, and he gets desperate enough to make a deal with Kayne. When John asks what he wants, Kayne gives him a very vague answer about owing him a favour. John's too concerned for Arthur's safety to turn him down. -

Summary
The God gasped. Oh, Arthur, he breathed. You look—absolutely beautiful.
Arthur snorted.
No, truly, John continued over him. You—You have this—air about you now, almost delicacy but not quite. You look like you belong in these clothes. Like you were made to be wearing them. They hug your hips and your chest and make curves where there wasn't any before. It gives you a fuller appearance. You look—You look incredible, Arthur. Noel has excellent taste.

Summary
A gasp broke through still air, followed by coughing, sputtering, and some frankly over-dramatized wheezing.
Arthur! You’re awake! Are you okay? What happened!? Where-!?
“Jesus, John,” a break for more coughing, “I- I don’t know, okay? My head feels fuzzy, I can't- I can't think.”
His arm and John's angled behind them to prop up his torso. Had he sat down? He must’ve at some point. Or he’d fallen again. Actually, on second thought, it was almost definitely falling.
What do you mean fuzzy? Like you hit your head or-?
“No! No I-,” he shook his head, then the nothing of his vision began to swim and he quickly reevaluated, “Well, maybe actually. But no, I mean my thoughts. Everything’s coming through a bit jumbled, just give me a moment.”
He sat there for a minute or two.
"Where are we, John?"
We’re at the edge of a dark forest.
The man sighed, "Again?"
TLDR:
They're in Dracula now.

Summary
“Hi there! Did you know you are radiating an absolutely impossible amount of cursed energy?”
The voice was accented, but only just. That fact processed for him before the words did.
“Pardon?” Arthur asked.
He’s coming closer.
Arthur took a step back.
“Cursed energy. You know, jujutsu. Or whatever you Brits call it— sorcery?”
Please, oh god, please don’t let this be another cult.
“I’m afraid I don’t follow.”
The other man laughed.
It reminded Arthur too much of Kayne for comfort.
“Oh,” the man said, laughter petering out, “You’re serious.”
OTHERWISE KNOWN AS:
John and Arthur encounter their greatest challenge yet: annoying sorcerers and boys with pink hair.

Summary
Home feels temporary, a sandcastle seconds from washing away in the rising tide. Home is a fairy tale he used to tell Faroe, a lie he told himself, his own carrot, as false and hollow as Kayne’s. Maybe Arthur is a shark, unable to stop, leaving a trail of blood wherever he goes.
—A character exploration of Arthur's relationship to the concept of home, spanning from childhood to post-canon.

Summary
“I still don’t remember. And King or Kon-ich or whatever else it is doesn’t sound like my name, so…” He waves a flippant hand, then seems to recede into himself, tucking the jacket closer around his broad shoulders. It hardly fits. Arthur can recall seeing a myriad of strange scars across his bare chest before he had been offered proper clothes.
Both Parker and Arthur are quiet too, for a bit. Arthur sighs and scratches at his stubbled chin. “Well. I suppose John Doe will have to do for now, won’t it?”
