Summary
The mattress dips as somebody sits down on the bed. Oscar stirs. Through fluttering dark eyelashes he sees the shapes of a person. Coppery hair combed through with pomade, sharp shoulders bearing the weight of a holster. Oscar doesn't quite flinch when a gloved hand reaches towards him, only to card through his hair, "Hello Oscar."
Oscar blinks away the stickiness of sleep. He squints, which only partially defines the figure in front of him with scars smeared across skin. Oscar slurs, "Ar…thur?"

Summary
Hypnagogia is the transitional state from wakefulness to sleep, also defined as the waning state of consciousness during the onset of sleep. Mental phenomena that may occur during this "threshold consciousness" include hallucinations, lucid dreaming, and sleep paralysis.

Kayne is mostly sure there’s a reason why he’s in this hallway in particular. He hears people, wondering if that’s why he’s here. There are a series of short doors along the hall, exposing the bare feet or the shoes underneath. Changing rooms.
“We don't exactly have a lot of room for choice.” Arthur wavers, setting a shirt down.
Ah, that’s why Kayne is here.

Summary
And Noel wouldn’t know, because talking to them separately is so—difficult. Typed dialogues, brief conversations with Arthur when he’s put John in time-out. Not enough to really get a read on either of them as individuals.
But surely he knows enough about this—about being trapped, about being all wrapped up in another being’s mind. It’s the worst thing that’s ever happened to him, and he can’t imagine a version of it that’s good.
So. Given all of… that. Perhaps drastic measures are in order.
(Noel tries to separate Jarthur by force, and then Arthur eats John bite by bite to bind them together again. That's the fic.)

Summary
“So can we keep him?”
‘Grunkle Stan’ sighs heavily. “Kid, he’s literally a lump on the ground.”
“So? We’ve all been lumps on the ground at one point or another,” Mabel counters, which is a very good point in Jon’s opinion.
.Somewhere Else is Gravity Falls, season one or thereabouts. things escalate from there.

Summary
The Manager has sent Arthur and John off to the world to live (mostly) normal lives. Now, it's time for him to rebuild the Waylay.
Unfortunately, a particular voice in his head just won't leave him alone.
And, an alternate version of his dead daughter keeps haunting him.
Worst of all, the Manager seems to be running into the architectural equivalent of an artist block.
What's a god to do?
Turns out Arthur Lester might be yet another solution to a god's problem. -

Summary
It was a blazingly hot July afternoon, the sort only found melting the asphalt of major east coast cities: plants wilted, tempers flared, and Oscar was regretting his profession as he broiled under his cassock and collar, starch and cotton gone limp and translucent with sweat. The rectory was an absolute, stifling misery, windows open to allow for the pitiful gasps of breeze that hiccuped painfully and seldomly, offering no relief.

Or: Oscar has church sex. More news at 8.
