Summary
His fright at the thought that Coco might have been in danger when he woke up was heart-stopping. The feeling he had when he thought he’d forgotten one of the simplest spells in his collection was….something else. Like a vice around his throat. A garotte of terror.
Olruggio can't claim to be the picture of perfect health and wellbeing, but things are getting strange. He's forgetting stuff - stuff that he really shouldn't be forgetting. And he doesn't know why.

what makes a strong fanfic is existing in direct conversation with the source material and this fic pulls that off beautifully, such lovely dread <3

Summary
Martin understands that Jon's going through a hard time right now - and he's not bothered by the sight of Jon staking out his flat, really, though he's a little embarrassed on Jon's behalf. Still, it's getting cold and Martin hardly wants Jon freezing to death. Maybe if he offers Jon a cup of tea, that'll convince Jon to go on his merry way.

Summary
Jon's first night in Chicago, he and Martin talk.
***
“It’s just,” he presses his fingertips to his forehead. “It feels odd, it feels bad, it feels difficult and discordant almost, in this…” Horror of my making. Cage of my craftwork. This Catch-22, this slaughterhouse, god I’m sorry, I’m so sorry – “Situation… to have to do the mundanities. Eating, sleeping -”
“Keeping up the Duolingo streak.”
Jon huffs.
“Indeed, keeping up the – shit!”
Martin laughs, properly, and Jon can see him in his mind’s eye – crinkles at his temples and dimple hollowing out his cheek.
“That’s the sound of a man who’s neglected his Spanish past participles.”
I can read every language in the world. I can speak every dialect, and form every sound, and fool every native. But I started that bloody streak the day I started as Head Archivist, some ego-fragility fuelled quest for yet more pseudo-intellectualism and guess what, Martin Blackwood, that is the day I met you. I could Know the days since we met, of course I could, but this physical counter is messy, and human, and you are messy, and human, and I will cling to it with ragged fingernails even if I never get -

Summary
I've recently been unexpectedly promoted to lead a department in my organisation, wrote the anonymous emailer.
As there was no one working here when I arrived, my manager, who is head of the organisation, had promised me the choice of my own assistants. However, without warning, he simply presented me with an additional assistant. This new assistant’s first act on his first day was to let a dog into the office. It took several hours to catch and clean up after this dog and it has only been downhill from there. I admit I'm not entirely sure what to do with this assistant now I'm stuck with him. I'm hoping you have some advice?
Kind regards,
New ManagerAbigail Bailey runs a successful management advice blog. One frequent contributor is from a workplace with some... issues.

Summary
The stranger smiles, eyes wet, like Martin’s just given him everything he’s ever dreamed of and more. “Just—look around. We did it, Martin, we made it.”
Martin flinches back, out of reach of the man’s bloodstained hands, and stares at him. Something is wrong here. So, so wrong. From the blood anointing them both to the way this man says his name like there are worlds of meaning behind it, everything about this is wrong. “Did what?” he pleads. “I- I’m sorry, do I know you?”

if you read only one post-canon fic, make it this one; perfect characterisation, beautiful romance, heartbreaking feelings, and every chapter made me cry 10/10

Summary
She wakes, back in her thirty years old body. She looks at herself in the mirror, naked, eyes sliding over shapes both familiar and foreign. All the traces of the years that she lived, gone. No calluses on her hands from gardening, no wrinkles from the sun, no scars, no dry elbows - she’s as she was, before. She doesn’t know if she likes it.

Summary
Elias's inability to See through Jon's eyes is something he knew would happen. It has, however, turned out to not be as much of a hindrance as he’d expected.
There is, after all, always Martin Blackwood.
...
Elias clenches his hand around his glass and gives into the temptation to take another drink. If he concentrates, he can see the stain from yesterday's lunch on Jon's shirt, wrinkled from wear; or the fact that his old-fashioned, ill-fitting glasses and cardigan make him look like Gertrude herself. Or even the fact that the office is grey and smells faintly of mildew and stale human odour, and is filled with towering masses of mess and paperwork. Only if he concentrates. If he doesn't, all of that mundane unpleasantness fades to nothing and instead his view of the world is passed through Martin's filter. "Oh my god do you think he'd let me braid his hair he's so pretty - stop it Martin he doesn't think of you like that - maybe we could go to dinner maybe I could make dinner - shit I can't cook - wait no he doesn't - nngh hair."
~
In the run up to the Unknowing, Elias checks in on the Archives team. They do not realise this.

Summary
“Look, this thing with Peter… I need to see it through. And that means I need to be…”
“Lonely,” Jon finished for him.
“Yeah.” Martin raised the damp towel to Jon’s forehead. Gentler this time, he began to wipe away the blood and grime. “But if you think no one will care if you get hurt, then you’re wrong.”
Jon lifted his hand as though to hold Martin’s hand in place, then thought better of it and lowered it into his lap. “Right.”
“And if you go back into that coffin, I’m climbing in after you and pulling you back out.”
Jon glanced up, the ghost of a smile playing on his lips. He looked small, and frail, and so, so tired. Martin could feel his carefully-curated numbness slip away as his heart clenched at the sight.
“When was the last time you ate?” he asked. Old habits die hard.
“I-I don’t know. It didn’t matter so much, in the Buried.”
“Well, you’re not in the Buried anymore. C’mon.”
When Jon gets out of the Buried, he and Martin have a talk.

“Do you mind if I sit?”
The man is thin, in an underfed sort of way. He doesn’t look that old, but his hair is streaked with grey, and there are lines of weariness around his eyes. There's something about him that reminds Martha of her late husband.

“It’s a preexisting condition,” Jon explains, sipping more bitter tea. “I sort of got—hm. You know Spiderman?”
Tim raises an eyebrow.
“Heard of him, yeah.”
Jon nods, studying his tea.
“It’s sort of like that,” he says. “A spider killed and ate me when I was a child, and now I can’t stay dead.”

Summary
'I've noticed, that, ah, maybe, you- you don't, ah, hate me,' Jon says at last.
There is a lengthy silence.
'Um,' says Martin at last. 'No I- I don't- I don't hate you? Is that a- a- problem?'After returning from America, Jon shoots his shot. It goes... surprisingly well, given that it's him.
Unfortunately there's also the matter of the Magnus Institute Employee Code Of Conduct Rules Regarding Romantic Relationships Between Employees, and all of the supplementary paperwork that needs to be filled in every time they go on a date.
