Through the intervention of a familiar chaos god, John is once more the King in Yellow at the peak of his godly strength, no drawbacks, no sacrifices. Except... Arthur has already suffered. Their journey has taken a toll no mortal soul or body could withstand without irreparable damage. Arthur is broken. John intends to fix him, in his own way. Even if it means betraying his friend's trust. Over. And over. And over again.

Summary
Charlie is fucking done with being scared of John. He’s tired of John walking on eggshells in case he spooks him and feeling like shit every time something happens. He’s fucking sick of letting the King in Yellow have a say in who he hangs out with or how he spends his time.
He wants to do something about it.
And thank fuck, John and Arthur are onboard for that.Series

Summary
Arthur’s heart flutters unevenly, arrhythmic. Vague sparking signals cannot make it past the broken connection of his severed spine. There is warmth in his core, still, but it is fading rapidly in the frigid air. The Dark World compels him to live, yes—but it does nothing more.
And like that, enveloped wholly in his blood and sinew once again, it occurs to him:
Maybe he can do something about this.
If he wants his friend back, he needs to do something about this.
He stretches his awareness outward once again, and begins to knit.
After dying at Kayne's hands, John and Arthur find themselves in the Dark World. Possessed of two separate bodies, though... perhaps not quite as separate, or as whole, as they were hoping.
Nothing's ever easy, is it?
