Summary
Jon was not a stranger to death.
He was an orphan raised by his elderly grandmother, he’d been to more funerals than he had weddings.
Death… death was undiscerning. Objective. First you were alive, and then you were not.
Simple.
Humans were the ones who made it messy, with their mourning and their loud, heavy grief. Burials and ceremonies and calla lilies.Sometimes, Jon wished it was just a matter of putting a body in the dirt and being done with it.
The last funeral he had been to was his grandmother’s. She was seventy nine. She died peacefully, in her sleep. And she would have hated that.Jon glanced down to the child sleeping beside him. Willa Briar. His first cousin, once removed.
This was her mother’s funeral.
Jon adopts the daughter of his late cousin. This is complicated by the simple truth that he has no idea how to be a parent.

Summary
The books dig into his chair, and he leans his head back, eyes fluttering closed. When he breathes, it smells like the crisp air of the forest, and he thinks he should leave, or at the very least worry that this is not what he thinks, that maybe it’s the coffin, pushing back -
Instead he licks his lips and says: “Martin?”
There’s no answer, but the bookcase moves again, and for a few seconds he is utterly trapped, the desk digging into his stomach; it’s painful, it’s heavy, and he loses his breath - but these days, it’s as close as he gets to an embrace.

Summary
He peers between the branches at the spiderweb, gently pushing some away to get a better view. He wonders what kind of spider it is, if he can catch a glimpse of it. There aren’t that many types in England, but--
Oh. He doesn’t spot the spider, but there’s something else trapped in the middle of the web. A large moth, its wings splayed helpless and immobile. As he watches, he sees its legs wriggle ineffectually in the air. It’s a surprisingly pitiful sight, making Martin’s heart unexpectedly wrench a bit for the poor thing.
-
Martin saves a moth from a spider. He doubts that this decision will have any sort of serious repurcussions.

“Sure,” Georgie says, still laughing at him. At least someone is having fun. “Don’t you have assistants for that kind of thing?”
“Yes, but…” He huffs, scratching the back of his neck. “I wasn’t going to ask one of them to download an app called...Lover? Lov-rrr? I don’t know how you say it.” He flaps his hands dismissively. “There are--unions and such. It wouldn’t be appropriate.”

Summary
Then a man walks past him, he looks at him, and a swooping sensation in his gut says yes. It isn’t the vampire part of him. He’s just… really pretty. Really Martin’s type. Short and small, neat and well put together, tired and professional, with perfect posture and a quick, impatient stride. He looks like he works in an office. He looks about a decade older than Martin. He looks important, and dignified, and hot. In that very particular way that Martin’s always been into.
Not that… not that attractiveness should have anything to do with picking a meal. Oh, it sounds bad to call people meals. Victims? Even worse.
Martin should in fact not pick this man, specifically because of how attracted he is to him. It would be the responsible thing to do.
Except he’s already following him. And he’s hungry.

Summary
Jon has had The Conversation with a grand total of five people so far. Four out of five times, it ended the relationship immediately. One time, it was only one out of many factors that ended the relationship further down the line.
It stands to reason then that the problem lies not with his – partners –, but with him.
That’s okay. Jon has made his peace with that. He doesn’t need to – he’s fine. He’s fine.
So what happens when Martin asks him out?

Summary
There are many ways to have soulmates. It might be your best friend. It might be your girlfriend. It might be a sibling. More commonly, it's all of those and more. Soulmates are someone who brightens up your life, and it is signified physically with a colorful mark at their first touch.
However, while having multiple soulmates is very common, having multiple romantic soulmates is less, although not frowned upon.
Some people are a bit dense about this. And sometimes those people all work at the Magnus Institute

Summary
Martin has always liked the idea of love at first sight.
It’s such a romantic idea, the whole thing of it. Seeing someone and instantly feeling that strange, twisting feeling deep inside that every single media likes to obsess over. Of knowing you are in love within the day, petals falling from your mouth and warmth filling your chest as love burrows deep, vines twisting through your lungs.
He always liked the idea of it.
And then Jonathan Sims starts working at the Magnus Institute.

Summary
Theoretically, all faeries have a Soulmate, but Martin always figured he was simply the exception to the rule. So of course he's stunned to hear there's a red string of fate newly tied to him.
And he's...something else when he learns his Soulmate lies across the Borderlands in Winter, where the Night Court is. The one that the Light Court of Summer has been at war with for centuries. The one with monsters that want to strip the magic from his bones and turn him into dust. Or worse.
Turns out, he is a kind of exception. Just a much more complicated one.

Summary
Jonathan Sims is rather tired of being kidnapped but Martin Blackwood, a fully-realized Avatar of The Lonely, is a better host that most. True, he's an empty, washed-out version of a human, but piece by piece Jon manages to unearth someone worth knowing behind the isolation and the distance.
Of course, there's the questions of why Martin kidnapped him in the first place, what The Lonely wants with The Archivist (or with The Archivist out of the way), why Elias Bouchard and Peter Lukas still seem to be working together despite that, and what The Web has to do with. Well. Everything.
Other than that, though, Jon is as interested in Martin himself as he is in everything surrounding him. Which include the end of the world. A world that Jon's not completely convinced shouldn't end.

Summary
“What--” He stops to compulsively lick his lips. His back hits the wall-- he’d started backing up at some point and he hadn’t noticed. He can’t tear his eyes away from the man on his couch. No. The creature. “What are you?”
Martin finally looks up from his book. He looks at Jon. He doesn’t look like Prentiss. He isn’t full of gaping holes that should have killed him, he isn’t covered in squirming, shiny white worms, he doesn’t smell like a moldy, rotting corpse. He looks like a pleasant, normal man. He has freckles scattered across the bridge of his nose, his cheeks. Monsters shouldn’t have freckles, Jon thinks nonsensically.
“I’m your boyfriend,” the monster sitting on his couch says, as if this is a matter that is not up for debate, that Jon has no say in.
