    Summary

    "His arms still felt tense without the connection to Arthur. Anxiety – was that what that was? – was brewing in his gut at the distance between them, despite it only being two feet at most. At least in Arthur’s eyes he had a better position to warn him should something approach; now there were too many distractions, and the angle was off. He had an almost overpowering urge to grab onto Arthur again, hold him tight against his body and never let him go ever again. That way they could be close again, close enough to protect against any threats, close enough to feel… whole."

    ---

    John and Arthur finally separate and temporarily stay in New York to get used to this new arrangement. It doesn't go as well as they might have hoped.

    Summary

    John isn’t a fucking idiot. He doesn’t hand the razor over, just lifts his own hand and then freezes when Arthur’s fingers circle his wrist delicately, guiding it on the next pass. It’s shakier this time; John can’t keep his fingers steady, all too aware of the pulse in his wrist and thumb and the touch of skin against his own. Not the novelty of it, but the strange intimacy of the contact, never mind that he and Arthur have been sharing a body and half-sharing a mind for months now.

    “Better.” Another swipe of his fingers, and John for a single, desperate second wishes he had Arthur’s throat too, just that swathe of skin, so he could know how it feels.

    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.
