Summary
It is 1934, and the Magnus Institute has not YET been infested with worms, though Mr. Blackwood surely has rambled on about them plenty to the Archivist’s horror. Jonathan Sims reads a statement about one Arthur Lester that feels far too much like a man reaching into a different sort of wasp’s nest, (or like one is reaching into HIM) though, and curiosity truly is an awful sort of thing. He’s always been quite a moth to a flame, hasn’t he?
Or; AU in which Arthur and John are part of the TMA universe but everyone is in 1934 and things get Insectoid.
(Title is from Let Down by Radiohead. Yes. I know. I know...)

Summary
He wanted an heir to end him. He found a son who made him want to stay.
When the immortal Hades Peverell, Shinigami and Companion of Death, begs to die, Death agrees on one condition: only a Peverell may inherit his post.
But Hades has no heirs, until Ryuk, grinning around a bite of forbidden apple, says,“You’ve got Peverell blood. Split it.”
The ritual fractures time and eternity, sending a piece of his soul into Lily Potter’s womb, where it’s born as the boy who lived.
Many years later, weary of forever, Hades walks the mortal world, raising the child who carries a part of him.He plans to teach the boy compassion fierce enough to kill a god.
But fatherhood was never part of the bargain."Love, death, apples—it’s always the same game."
