Summary
Between the noise of the shops and his attention to the cat, Michael barely heard the motor approaching him until a hand yanked him backward. The cat scurried away as a motorcycle and its shouting driver passed right where Michael had just been.
He turned to face the person who had saved him and holy shit.

Summary
What if Michael hadn't died when the Spiral rejected him? What if he survived, and upon waking, begged to see his boyfriend, Gerard Keay? What if Jon summoned Gerard one more time, before burning his page?

Summary
Gertrude took her assistants on research trips all the time, it was pretty standard. And they usually came back alright. That's why Gerry hadn’t worried when Michael told him he was leaving with the archivist to visit Russia. When he’d gone to wish his best friend safe travels, everything was okay.
It wasn’t supposed to be a goodbye after all, just see you soon.

Summary
Somewhere between the sharp, constant pain, the distorted images floating in front of him and the way his thoughts seem to sort of ...bounce, Michael can be sure of one thing: he no longer exists.

Summary
Michael Shelley and Gertrude Robinson go to Sannikov Land together, but only one of them returns to the Archives. In the Spiral halls, Michael makes the most difficult decision he's ever made; the Ceaseless Watcher and It Is Not What It Is cannot mix, and to pretend otherwise would only cause Gerry needless pain. It would be better for them both if he were to remain "dead."
Gerard Keay thinks his boyfriend is dead, at least until rumors of a familiar blond man start cropping up in newly-made statements. Finding what doesn't want to be found is hard, though, especially you're also caught up in trying to stop an apocalypse.
Note as of 8/2023 - this work is more than likely abandoned. I haven't found the energy or motivation to work on it in quite some time. That doesn't entirely mean I won't pick it back up at some point in the future, but as of right now it seems unlikely.

Summary
Gerry knows he — it is dangerous, but knowledge is his thing. It wouldn’t make sense to turn it away when it shows up. Even if it means forgetting himself for a while. He can stand to be the human half of something, from time to time.

Summary
Michael’s face was hard to read, he looked… Relieved? Surprised? And odd cocktail of both and something more? Gerry couldn’t tell besides the fact that he felt his hand being held a little tighter. No, not tighter, just held the way it should always be held. Maybe he was holding Michael’s hand the same way without even knowing it.

Summary
Blonde hair falls in twisted ringlets– long, too long, but– and bright blue eyes– off-focus, shifting, spirals, but– the curve of a face and the curl of blonde hair.
“Michael?” he blurts instead, and the thing– Michael, their Michael, his Michael– tilts its head as though seriously considering.
“Once.”

She can’t hurt Michael. He’s so … so good. Certainly the only person who’s ever bothered to care about Gerry, and Gerry may or may not be harbouring a little crush on him.
He’s difficult not to crush on, really.in which michael gets rescued from the spiral and also gets a boyfriend

Summary
Gerry was beautiful. Michael had known for a while now, had watched the curve of his mouth, the amber of his eyes a little too intently. Perhaps it was right that it should be now they ran away; now, with his hands on Gerry’s face, washing it of blood and tears, attentive to a fault.

Summary
She said they had died - that they had not survived the expedition on account of "unknown" reasons. Gerard didn't believe her. He didn't want to believe her, even. But what choice did he have?
All he knew, was that the ghost in the yellow door was not his Michael.

He just never thought it would end like this.
‘This’ is the papers he'd scattered over the floor of Gertrude's tiny office and ‘this’ is the pitying expression on her face and ‘this’ is the words he isn't coming back.
