    Summary

    In one of many universes, it is not John who fades after the mines of Addison, but Arthur. Alone and with deals unfulfilled, John flees back to Arkham, taking on Arthur's name and job. Yet past is always close behind, and when a series of supernatural drownings is handed to him as a case - well, John only acts in his nature.

    Mute and bound to an entity that deals in grief and music, water and mourning, John strives to do better than Arthur once had. But unfinished business from New York is at their heels, while the Great New One speaks in echoes of his old friend's voice. It is John's call this time - and tide may yet drown him completely.

    Summary

    Oscar studies him clearly from mussed hair to scuffed boot, focusing in on the strange half-second in which he felt his way along the pew in order to move closer. Time had not been kind to either of them, leaving its obvious marks in various places. Instead of pointing out new scars, the wrinkled state of his jacket, how the knot of his tie was not quite tight enough, he simply drinks him all in to the best of his impartial ability. It is not easy.

    “You’re still thin,” he admonishes kindly. “That always worried me, you know?”

    Carefully he lifts his remaining hand to Arthur’s face, palm cupping one side of his jawline as if feeling along the bone there. Automatically Arthur closes his eyes, sinking into the touch. Just as soon as he leans against the fleeting shiver of heat, it’s gone.

     

    Arthur and John return to what they left behind, hoping for a fresh start.
