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
"Arthur didn’t believe in ghosts. Sadly, his best friend did. And even sadder, he decided to go hunt them, drag Arthur along, and hook cameras up to them both."
Being a ghost hunting Youtuber certainly wasn't how Arthur had thought his career would go. Still, for all his skepticism, it's a fun enough job, and the lack of any supernatural activity only proves his beliefs. The newest site, an art school that had shut down in late 1800s, shouldn't be any different.
John is really fed up with idiots with cameras coming into his home. -

Summary
In a city full of supers, the heroes stand tall to protect civilians from the chaos brought on by the villains. At least, such is Lloyd's stance, as he puts a cold mask on each night. A task that would be made much easier if he wasn't haunted by his villainous nemesis even in his dreams.
In a city full of supers, the villains break the monotony of lives. At least, such is David's stance, as he puts a colourful mask on for each night flight. A task that would be made much easier if he could take his eyes off of his stubborn, heroic nemesis.

Summary
Arthur's been having odd dreams recently. Dreams of a place human minds usually can not fathom. Dreams where he plays for a court of things he can not see.
But they're just dreams, and the being that follows him around is obviously a figment of his imagination.... right?
When Arthur's dreams start leaking into the real world, he and the entity watching over him will have to make choices they'd rather not and trust people they shouldn't.
Hopefully they'll make it out alive.Updates Saturdays!

Summary
Many things end up in the Dark World. Dead high school choirs and shattered eldritch beings, and not all know their names, or who they used to be.
Not all like being reminded of that either.

Summary
Dreaming in the Dreamlands is risky, and situations Arthur's in are hardly helpful most of the time. Once, the King in Yellow set a simple problem before him - all he had to do was pull a lever. And choose whom to doom.
