    Summary

    I understand your concern, but I don’t think we have anything to worry about here. As a hoax, or a prank, or dark satire or whatever, the video is pretty effective, and I can see why you’ve reacted so strongly. But I think it’s a mistake to take this thing at face value. Simply put - the idea that Howell would post it, if it were genuine, is nuts.

    Dan and Phil return from a seven-year hiatus with a very different kind of hard launch.

    Summary

    Mylo and Claggor would say there’s nothing that scares Vi. She can dish out punches and evade danger better than anyone. She’s their fearless leader, always ready to take them on a job and back without losing anyone. It’s that level of assurance that they have in her, that confidence she exudes, that makes them trust and believe in her.

    But they’re wrong. Powder knows there’s something that scares Vi. And that’s because it scares Vander.

    Or: Silco reads the letter Vander left in the mines and sticks around as a boogeyman in the Last Drop.

    Summary

    “Put me in the ring,” Matt said. His glasses were cracked like a spider’s web, and in the shifting shadows he seemed to be raising his hackles in disgust.

    “The House doesn’t profit from quick deaths,” said the jailer.

    Summary

    “Hey, Jon?” Martin isn’t moving. He sturdies himself, holding Jon back like an anchor. If Jon wanted to go, all he’d have to do is drop Martin’s hand, but he can’t. They’re holding hands. They’re meant to be holding hands. “Why did you say my mother was dead?”

    “I don’t know,” Jon runs his free hand through his messy curls. When had his hair gotten so long? “It just popped into my head like a passing thought, like something I heard somewhere once. We haven’t known each other that long, Martin, I’m sure I just mixed you up with someone else at the Institute.”

    “Like a memory?” Martin asks, quietly.

    “Sure,” Jon says. “Like a memory.”

    ***

    Between phantom earthquakes and visions of a terrifying future, something is very, very wrong at the Institute. And only Jon and Martin can see it.

    Summary

    Sandra knocks on his door around midday to remind him that the staff holiday party is at five o’clock, and also that he forgot to RSVP if he was bringing a plus one?

    “Hardly,” Elias snorts distractedly, squinting at the last paragraph he wrote; can they really decrease enrollment handling time by eight percent or is he being too bold? “Peter wouldn’t be seen dead at—”

    He stops, brow furrowing. A wave of something close to vertigo washes over him, and he grasps the edge of his desk to ground himself.

    “I…ah, no. No plus one.”

    Summary

    Whatever he had predicted might happen, Jon wasn't expecting to survive upon demolishing the Panopticon. He certainly wasn't expecting to be rescued.

    Instead, he wakes up in an alternative universe where he's never been the Archivist, and Martin Blackwood doesn't exist.

    Martin Blackwood wakes up somewhere else entirely.

    Summary

    Love is a tangible thing. It has weight. It has substance. You can measure it on a scale, store it in jars, observe the ways it twists and grows and over-splits its boundaries. When a body holds so much love—love without an outlet—it naturally spills over. Seeks the sunlight. Jon’s body is so small, (and now it looks smaller than ever, frail and sunken in the nest of pale blue pillows) it’s no wonder that his love came overflowing.

    The only wonder is that it came for Martin. 

    Martin has never been able to grow flowers, but when Jon starts coughing up dog roses for him, he can't bear to let him suffer alone.

    Summary

    The last few years have been foggy for Martin, which is perfectly fine for him and his perfectly normal, mundane life. That is, until he walks into the Eyeclops that's been haunting his dreams every night for the past six months. As he wrestles with a past that he can't remember, Martin is soon faced with an even more dangerous individual: one who has machinations larger than he could've ever imagined.

    And it might just be up to Jon, who never thought he'd be perceived by the world again, to save him.

    Summary

    There's nothing wrong with Jonathan Sims. He's an ordinary student, who may be a little bit in love with Georgie Barker, and the biggest thing he has to worry about is his exams. His relationship with his grandmother is fine, and he has no strong feelings about Christmas.

    Georgie disagrees.

    Five years later, there's nothing wrong with Martin Blackwood. He's an ordinary researcher at the Magnus Institute, and the biggest thing he has to worry about is his job. His relationship with his mother is fine, and he has no strong feelings about Christmas.

    Jon disagrees. And he knows what it's like, now, to need someone. So he decides to be there for Martin.

    A pre-canon AU fic about Jon, Martin, and their respective relationships with home and family.

    Summary

    Feuilly moves to a new city to start over. He plans to keep his head down this time, to work an 8 to 5 job and keep to himself and settle for getting by. His hopes are modest, reasonable: He hopes to keep up on his loan payments, to get along with his coworkers, to get through another Christmas alone.

    He doesn't plan on getting sucked into a group of literacy activists who care way too much, on getting involved in trying to fix the world again, on stumbling into people who actually seem to care about him. He doesn't plan on being happy.
