    Summary

    "Come in," came the answer to Martin knocking on Jon's office's door.

    Martin pressed the handle and slipped inside, sighing as he closed the door after himself.

    "Do you mind if I stay here for a while?" he asked, fully aware it sounded closer to 'for god's sake, just let me sit here'. "I can tell Tim and Sasha are trying to make normal conversation or carefully broach the subject, so you can cut the awkwardness with a knife, and- I had to get out for a while. But there isn't anywhere else to go, exactly, with… them in the document storage. And you… you're in it too, at least."

    Summary

    When Martin awakes in a pitch black room with a memory full of holes and the sound of someone near him, it's enough to make it the worst day of his life so far, not that he remembers any other days. Then he realizes that the voice is actually in his head and the room's not dark but rather he's blind.

    Now Martin and the voice in his head must work together in an effort to undo what has happened to them. But plans are in motion, and soon Martin and the voice find themselves scrambling to save their friends from the Entities that are seeping through the cracks and into this world. Entities from the same world as the voice in his head, a hellish Fearscape ruled over by The Archivist.

    Even then, it might be easier if the pair of them weren't stuck together for every waking moment.

    Summary

    His eyes are at once dead and horribly, horribly alive. The milky film over his cornea does little to hush the luminous golden brown of his irises, huge around pupils so shrunken that Martin can hardly see them.
    Jonathan Sims blinks. Then he frowns.
    “Am I to take it you’ve never met a vampire, then?”
    Oh, Martin is going to get a rubbish review.

    Or,

    Struggling for income, Martin registers with an app that connects vampires with willing blood donors. His first client is not at all what he expected.

    Summary

    Jean Kirschtein is not entirely sure why they need someone to clean the pool when no-one ever seems to swim in the darn thing, but when his socialite mother just can't stop ogling the new pool boy, Jean realises she might not be the only one.

    Apparently balancing a growing relationship with the freckled pool boy is harder than it looks, when coupled with a more than dysfunctional family life, a cheating scumbag for a father, and a seriously lonely existence.

    An AU of equal measures fluff and angst featuring pool cleaning, roof-top smoking, lots of parental problems, and mainly shirtless Marco.

    (Fic on indefinite hiatus.)
