    Summary

    Jon took a second or two to think about how to begin; finally, he settled on the simplest words he had.

    "…I don't have sex," he said, softly.

    Summary

    “Have you got anywhere to stay?” Jon asks him, briskly. “Friends, acquaintances, maybe, who you could stay with…?”

    Martin flushes, deeply. “I, I mean— n-no, not really,” he stammers, and then goes even redder. “Or, just, y’know not that I’d want to, to. Put in the middle of this. Put in danger of, of worms.”

    “Ah,” Jon says, “No, of course, that makes sense.” Why drag anyone else into this mess? Seven people died during Prentiss’s initial hospitalization; the collateral damage of roping someone from outside the Institute into her orbit doesn’t bare thinking about. “In that case…” Jon feels like there’s some alternative solution, one he’s just not thinking of at the moment, but it evades him, and Martin needs somewhere safe to stay. “My couch is quite comfortable. You’re welcome to come and stay with me until you figure something else out.”

     

    Martin is held hostage by Jane Prentiss for two weeks, and can't go back to his flat. Jon offers him a place to stay until Prentiss and her worms can be dealt with, and they can be sure he's safe.

    Summary

    For personal reasons, the rock that had become ugly meat (that had– for just a brief moment– become a beautiful, beloved child) was now six dogs. This decision, while admittedly made under duress, had nonetheless paid out in dividends. As she lay in sun beams, as she rolled around with herself across the soft ground, she liked to count the reasons why this had turned out to be a terrific idea.

    Fic that reading it is like laying in bed when you’re so perfectly tired and freshly showered and all you have to do is go to sleep. So wonderfully Nona characterized. Griddlehark + Pyrrha & Paul + what more could you want or need to know it’s Nona as dogs

    Summary

    “No lungs and he huffs like a drama queen,” Noel muses. Arthur’s eyes snap to Noel’s face and he can feel the icy daggers in those pretty golden eyes. He grins back. “Hey, I’m impressed. Means every sigh, every huff, every harrumph–” that earns a dry chuckle from Arthur, “–is entirely intentional.”

     

    Arthur’s smiling now. “He says he’s got other tricks up his sleeve..?”

     

    “Let’s hear it,” Noel says, just as John’s hand rises from the coffee cup and flips him off. “Wow. Classy, John.”

     

    -

    Arthur Lester and John Doe reappear in New York City, dishevelled and lost. Noel's thought about them every day since they left. Less plot-driven, more exploratory relationship study, following Noel and co. as they try to make the broken pieces of their lives fit together.

    Eventual Ourthur/Arthur Lester & His Three Boyfriends, queerplatonic flavour.

    Summary

    Arthur knew from the moment he woke up that it was going to be one of those days, the same moment he opened his eyes to greet the unchanging black haze of the world and didn’t feel the sliver of sunlight that usually wormed its way between the gap in the drapes.

    These days, he had the privilege of rising much later, unless a client’s only workable window of time was in the ungodly hours of morning, which—thankfully—was a rare occurrence. If he stirred in the middle of the night, nightmares were the likely culprit, be they his own or John’s or, on nights when the universe saw fit to add a larger dash of turbulence into their comparatively calmer lives, both.

    But there was no light. No birds singing incessantly. Before sunrise, then. And it was another moment later that he realized what had awoken him. Or, in this case, what hadn’t?

    Everything ached.
