Summary
“And once all of this is done” He continued instead, with new words “You must sail again. Pick up an oar, travel as far as the Pillars of Hercules, and further more. Until you reach a place where people don’t know the of ships that fly on ocean waves. When a traveller will ask you if what you have with you is a fan to winnow grain, you’ll know you have found the land you are searching for. There, where no one knows what the ocean is, you will plant your oar in the ground and build a temple for the God of the sea. At last, you will be allowed to get back home, live to the end of your years and die a painless death, far from the sea”
A continuation of the story inspired by the prophecy spoken by Tiresias in the original Odyssey.
(And yes this is gay, I love the ship sue me)

Summary
The Eridian thrills a high sound that doesn’t get picked up by the translator which means that it has no clear meaning. Like when a human gasps or sucks in a deep breath. It actually sounds a little like that. When they notice that I’m staring straight at them they scramble back into their hiding spot and hold very still.
A child, I realize with a start.
That’s a child!
“Hey,” I call and the kid squeaks again. I was about to get to my feet but abort the movement and crawl closer on my hands and knees until I'm inches away from the xenonite wall. I wait and it takes me much too long to realize that they don’t have to peek around the corner to see if I’m still there.
“Hey there,” I try again, my voice low and calm. It’s my teacher voice, the one I use for shy and scared students.
Used.
The fact that I haven’t had to use it for years and it still comes to me automatically almost knocks the air out of my lungs but this is not about me, it’s about making sure the little pebble doesn’t die of fright from the scary alien. “Hi, I’m Grace. It’s alright, you don’t have to be scared.”

Summary
Long ago and far away, the world fit in a neat little box.
John’s life was charmed (in his opinion, at least), with days of play by the stream or in the workshop, racing father’s sleighs in winter and flirting with pretty workers in the mill. It was fun. His older brother Yellow was the responsible one, anyway—John was, he’d learned early on, “unplanned,” and so wasn’t expected to do anything.
Well. He was expected not to do things. Not to get anyone pregnant, not to steal from the till or stores, not to make a laughingstock of father’s name in town or with traveling merchants. Easy. John was careful in bed, had a big enough allowance that he didn’t need to steal, and he both tipped well in town and made friends with merchants. People trusted Yellow to deal with the hard things, but people liked John, and that was even better.
Yes, indeed, life was charmed, sweet through and through like warm honey-cake. At least, until his father died.
Written for Lovely, Dark, and Deep: the Malevolent Fairy-Tale Zine. Apologies to everyone. This is very silly.

Summary
John Lester. Arthur thought about him carrying that name around everywhere he went and grit his teeth like he was chewing sand. It was his own damned fault for telling John to pick whatever he wanted; he’d had plenty of opportunity to lay down ground rules, it wasn’t John’s fault Arthur had run out of other Lesters quite some time ago with no plans to bolster numbers.
Not that he’d been much more enthused to gift his name to Bella. Why couldn’t he seem to stop comparing the scrap of the King in Yellow he’d stolen to his dead wife?
(In which John and Arthur take up private investigating together once they find their way out of the Dreamlands and into separate bodies.)

Summary
After Addison, Arthur and John didn't go to New York - they just went home, and set up shop in as PIs in Arkham. Now several months later, having completed work for a wealthy client, they find themselves invited to a fancy dinner party with New England's elite occultists. But among the rich and famous diners are two unexpected guests: "Andrew" Larson, Arthur's one time nemesis, and Peter Yang, back from the dead but not quite right. After an awkward dinner, and an introduction to a mysterious supernatural artifact, a corpse is discovered. It's up to Arthur and John to solve the murder and stop the artifact before it unleashes its eldritch magic on them all.
Or is it? Maybe instead, Arthur and Peter fool around in the back room and they miss the drama. Maybe Arthur and John can stop the murder entirely. In this Choose Your Own Adventure there are multiple endings and more than one way to make it to midnight.
