    Summary

    Turning over the hoodie, he rifles through the pockets, expecting maybe some torn off notebook paper or post-it notes that Jon tucked into a pocket, but instead he finds a single sheet of…

    Well. It sort of looks like paper, but something about it feels very, very wrong. Its texture is thick in a way that makes Martin think of vellum, but it has a ragged, uneven edge like it’s been torn from a book. It’s folded neatly into quarters, now slightly crumpled from Martin starting to ball up the hoodie, and when he carefully unfolds it, his breath hitches slightly at the sight of some strange mottling that looks eerily similar to the burn scar on Jon’s hand.

    He doesn’t mean to read it. Really, he doesn’t. Martin should bloody well know better than to read strange papers with what he’s fairly certain are burn scars on them—surely, it’s no wiser than reading a book with Leitner’s bookplate inside the cover. But the first few words on the page catch his eye before he thinks too hard about it, and quite suddenly he’s too engrossed in the brief passage to put it down. Not until the last sentence.

    “And so, Gerard Keay ended.”

    ~*~

    Or, what happens after Gerry decides he's going to help one last stray.

    Summary

    “We need each other, especially now,” Tim said solemnly. Martin just nodded. “Everything’s different, and it’s not gonna go back to how it was when we get back to work. And I, personally, don’t trust anyone else in that place but you guys.”

    “Right now, I just want to focus on us, not…the institute,” Martin said, brushing back Tim’s hair. He kissed his forehead, and Tim melted against the touch. “And this is pretty nice…”

    “Where do we go from here, then?” Jon asked, hesitant glances passing to each of them.

    “I say we go to Camelot,” Tim said.

    “I’d like to…” Sasha said sheepishly.

    “As would I…” Martin said.

    Jon took a deep breath, and he nodded slowly. “Camelot it is, then.”

    Rewriting the whole series with polychives, shenanigans, and bullying Elias (and Peter). This starts as a chatfic, but quickly becomes a hybrid chatfic/regular fic.

    Summary

    Two otherworldly, unknowable Entities decided to make a bet. Or is that some kind of projection? They can't make bets, right? They probably don't even know how to play games like poker or blackjack. They probably don't care about what a playing card is. Probably. Who knows? They're unknowable.

    All Jon knows is that he's not a fan of the apocalypse, and apparently neither the Eye nor the Web are, too. He wants to understand, but he wants to fix things more. So he can hold off on asking questions, at least until his people are safe.

    So when he's sent back in time, given another chance, he's not going to make the same mistakes twice.

    No more apocalypse.

    Summary

    Rewinding the tape, going back to fix mistakes. It feels easy when you're the Pupil of the Eye and the Harbinger of the Apocalypse, but the Archive is going to find out soon that a human mind and a human body, even his own, cannot host him without consequences.

    So, some changes have to be done, first.

    Jonathan Sims, newly appointed Head Archivist of The Magnus Institute, is about to have a very bad time.

    Summary

    Martin didn't think Jon would do it. But this was the same Jon who had gone into the coffin with the full knowledge that no one had ever made it out of that thing. What's the worst that could happen if he quit? He could die, of course. But more often than not, Jon felt like a walking corpse anyway.

    Summary

    Accountability, that was what it was. It was easy enough to condemn her actions from afar while still accepting her usefulness, but now they were all involved. They had all had a hand in what had been done to that stranger, Arthur Lester, the supposed Private Investigator.
    Apparently that didn't sit right with any of the others. At least they had finally found the line.
    Stupid fucking Archives.
    Morality was not even a consideration anymore. It was just whether or not they could justify it enough to pretend to sleep at night.

    -

    What if Arthur ended up in London in S3 of TMA before going to New York?

    Summary

    "It takes less than a second for Jon to be on his feet. And then he’s moving. He has no idea where he’s going, but he knows he needs to get away from them. He has no idea what they’ll do to him if they catch him, and the fear of being caught, chased, or Hunted even, is enough to give Jon the energy to sprint.
    Everything is a blur of yells, paper and then darkness and quietness.

    When Jon comes back to himself, he’s stood in the tunnels. Before him, a very familiar yellow door stands. He collapses onto the floor, his whole body becoming jelly, just as the door opens."

    Summary

    He’s resigned to dying, has been since he found out about the tumor…or at least he thought he was…but at the core of it, he wants to live. Not that he has much choice. He’s already dead, anyway. Just a memory on a page. The book is going to burn itself out in a second, and he’ll burn out with it.

    No more second chances. No heading back to England for him. Just…whatever comes next.

    So be it. He doesn’t like it, but it’s not really up to him, after all, is it?

    Summary

    "My, My head hurts," he replied dumbly, "And I had a… A really terrible nightmare."
    And god, did the last few years feel like a nightmare. A horrible, never-ending nightmare that twisted into shapes Jon never thought possible and took more from him than he knew he had to take.
    "Must have been some nightmare," Tim hummed.
    "It was," Jon laughed humorlessly.

    ----------------

    After the conclusion of the Watcher's Crown, Jon finds himself waking up in a much younger version of his own body, one that's still working with Tim and Sasha in research. Jon refuses to let this opportunity pass him by, refuses to let this world fall to the same fate as his. He'll do it better this time. He'll save everyone, no matter the cost.

    Summary

    When Martin arrived at college, what he expected was to finally escape from his abusive mother and maybe -if he was lucky- make some friends. What he didn't expect was to have to solve a murder with his stuck-up and mentally unstable roommate who's convinced that he has some sort of magical powers. In short, this isn't how Martin predicted his college life to go down.

    However, you would have to make pigs fly before he would even consider believing you he could ever develop feelings for this peculiar roommate.

    Summary

    Martin Blackwood, beloved archival assistant, who is always there with tea and a soft word of comfort isn't exactly who he says. Actually he's exactly not who he says, he is Not Martin, and he didn't expect to have anything to do with the archival staff beside feeding off their terror that Something Wasn't Right. But then he started feeling something akin to "emotions" when it comes to a certain Archivist who is always in trouble.

    Summary

    “You still hate him,” Georgie said, folding her arms. “Unbelievable.”

    “I don’t hate him,” Jon protested. “I - I hardly think of him.”

    Except for last night, when Jon had fallen asleep reading through the published poetry of one M. K. Blackwood. And the night before that. And, if Jon is being honest with himself, the night before that.

    Summary

    There’s a book on his desk that wasn’t there when he made his trip to the breakroom for his fifteen minute break. There’s a sticky note on the cover, which reads ‘Found this at a rummage sale, thought it might improve your day - S’ in Sasha’s looping handwriting.
    Martin peels off the sticky note to find that it’s a very old copy of the Complete Works of John Keats.

    or

    When Martin unknowingly reads a Leitner, things get very Freaky Friday in the archives.

Sasha seems to be purposefully unhelpful until the team realizes something is very wrong with the Magnus Institute. It's up to them to unravel the mystery and secrets of the Archives, hopefully before it's too late.
