Summary
"Impulse took a careful, aching breath, forcing the air through the block in his chest. He shifted his arms underneath him and winced at a tingling burn erupting over his skin. It intensified into a blinding, agonizing sear, sending his back slamming into the wall when he jerked away from the source.
The half-burned crucifix glared back at him, red-hot through the shadows still crowding his vision. They wouldn't leave no matter how much he blinked. Voices sounded miles away and underwater. Someone was speaking, but Impulse couldn't tell who or from where. Even the wall behind him didn't feel right. It felt muted against his fingertips, like the texture was hidden by layers of gloves.
This wasn't right."
OR: A vengeful demon knocks Impulse out of his body, leaving it up to Skizz, Scar, Grian, and Gem to get him back. But the afterlife is not particularly kind to Impulse, nor is the demon possessing Impulse's body being any nicer to Skizz.

- which odd should know
- but he loves his family too much to not try anyway

- ohhhh buddy you just gotta keep makin' the worst decisions possible huh
- startin' off season 3 going 200 miles an hour

- is that then john actually has to figure shit out
- luckily he's got the best people around to back him up
- while hastur's away his children must play
- otherwise people will think something is hinky
- everyone is being very brave and strong in this one
- even though that doesn't necessarily translate into good decisions

- a homecoming of sorts
- and perhaps there is a price too steep for wallace larson in the end
- kraiva's being cryptic because she finds it funny
- part 3 of 'everything happens so much' day
- we'll get to the end of it eventually
- now we have the canonically supposed to be very smart characters being dumb
- and a very surprising tattle-tale
- as it turns out you can have two sides of the same coin
- with deeply different experiences due to the sources of their knowledge and power
- Kraiva says she’s not a TMA writer but here we are 😈
- the love was there. it didn't change anything; but it was there
- stinky boys take a bath
- sunny is fine don't worry parker put water wings on him
- it's about time for an ensemble fic
- time for a rescue mission
- so glad that everything is finally going to be ok so we can get back to the fluff
- The trauma will continue until morale improves
- everybody knew that favor would come back to bite her eventually
- nobody expected it to bite quite like this

- ouchy
- very painful KAYNE IS NOT GOOD OR FUNNY HERE you have been warned
- everyone else is here too but they're more referenced than anything
- yes this is just after they all got kicked out
- Thanks Oba... er Kayne
- Sometimes though you just need to sit down and have a good meal for normalcy to raise its head
- also
- jarthur is canon now as we said
- so is sunnyparks
- yes the title is a Star Wars quote so sue us
- amazing how we affect one another when we tackle our own damn issues
- oh it's little divorce time
- someone's growing up
- no one's sad about that
- but someone was supposed to be here...
- menses mention
- of course he's not FINE
- but there's this thing about relationships that need a lot of work
- if the work goes both ways... generally it's going to be okay
- Nibbles on the case!
- SPOILER WARNINGS: we’re addressing things now from part 54 on
- well technically. surro diverged at end of s4 but part 54 revealed some Things that Happened

- they're handling it well all things considered
- no Arthur can't catch a break what fandom do you think this is
- this is some OLD sibling rivalry

- but what’s this there are big things to talk about nobody’s said?
- I’m in shock I tell you
- the Mortal Coil is still their best-distributed fanzine
- no they don't know Hastur's seen it
- they would all die by implosion
- odd was one puff away from seeing the Hat Man
- instead he got Multiple Eldritch Monstrosities
- ofc he shrugged that shit off like it was NOTHING
- our resident Bostonian has been stuffing his feelings again
- it is not so good
- hey it's hard for a man in that era to know what to do with stress
- for the record: don't do this
- sometimes a bit of perspective can change a horror into a tragedy
- sometimes forgiveness isn't what it seems
- sometimes love is the answer
- no onscreen sexual intimacy but a definite lead-up to the offscreen intimacy
- if you catch my drift
- the two of them have come so far since Addison
- even so there's still unknowns
- growth is never a straight line
- we like... big... books and we cannot lie
- and sometimes we like reminding you that we're writing for a horror podcast
- Lestering

- Charlie is in for a TIME
- it's almost like some malevolent mind is looming over Arkham...
- not a ton of spoilers but do know that we are writing this parallel to canon
- its all about love in the end
- now kraiva gets to inflict the KLU (kraiva lovecraftian universe) on everyone
- just me and my pepe silva board
- as it turns out sunny was not doing ok after the night on the town
- don't worry though parker is on the case
- you ever go through something really difficult and just... think you need to do something CRAZY?
Summary
The King in Yellow had a plan. It worked, and Arthur Lester broke.
Then it all went to hell.
A certain Outer God took issue with his favorite show's cancellation, and arrived with certain demands.
Hastur is furious. His adopted daughter is afraid. John wants to kill his other half; and Arthur has a lot of healing to do in rebuilt Carcosa, in the mystical Dreamlands.
Forced family is not, as it turns out, a good time for anyone.

- Adrian and Rocky’s kids
- Uncle Grace
- adrian is here they’re only mentioned tho
- Grace makes comparisons between himself and a domesticated animal and he thinks that’s stupid funny

- Grace performs a Generational L and reveals humanity’s most fucked up instinctual response to cuteness
- idk I’m just writing Some Bullshit
Summary
Grace squeezes out a wet chuckle, thick with emotion, before suddenly falling silent. Its mouth does that strange up-down up-down movement, like it’s trying to figure out if it’s perplexed or amused. “Wait a minute—“ The human flops on its side to face them.
“Rock, that almost sounds like I’m your kids’ \.\\.”
“New word.”
“Uh… companion animal.”
—————
Or
Grace and Rocky talk about evolution, family dynamics, and dogs.
