Summary
Lost and alone at the end of the world, Jon decides to try one last idea. It goes wrong, as his ideas usually do, when both the Web and the Spiral decide to interfere with what he's doing. For once the disaster goes his favor. Mostly.
He wouldn't have chosen to go back in time to when he was eight years old. He certainly wouldn't have chosen to catch Elias freaking Bouchard's attention before he's had a chance to do anything. And he cannot believe that his luck is so monumentally bad that he gets adopted by the man who wants to use him to end the world.
Jon has to figure out how to keep Elias away, while saving his friends and the world. And hopefully growing old enough that he can go anywhere on his own and be taken seriously.

What happens when a lonely pirate becomes an Archivist by October_Mercury

Summary
They just left him.They left Jonny on this shitty planet. It's not the first time they have done this, but it’s the first time they have left him so long that he's pretty sure they're not coming back for him.
It has been about 2000 years since they left him on this godforsaken planet and he hated it here. At first it was fun, he killed lots of people, even did it as a job for a while as a gladiator when he found himself in Rome and no matter the outcome of the fight he had a good time. He also drank a lot, this place didn't have the best variety he had ever seen but it was still alcohol so he drank it. He also (though he would never admit it) loved learning the languages, and history of this planet. Nothing worth a song but it was interesting nonetheless.
Or
Jonny is left on earth for 2000 years.
He then become Jon sims to pass the time, and as an attempt to be less like the guy that the crew obviously disliked enough to leave.
He quickly regrets a lot after becoming far to attached to some mortals.Series

He Sacrificed Everything For These Jerks! by ArcSilverfishTheBugWriter

Summary
Jon has sacrificed so much for his friends and the entire world over the past several years. But do they focus on that? No. They shame him for needing to eat statements and blame him for almost bringing about the apocalypse and being a potential cause of it going forward as Elias continues his evil plans. An apocalypse that he stopped by causing great medical trauma to himself. And Jon, now in pain and struggling through various therapies, has had it.

Summary
Tim practically draped himself on the bar as his companion buried his face deep in his arms.
“I’m just saying! Of all the people you could helplessly fall in love with, you chose Jon?”
“Tim…”
“No, don’t get me wrong, I see the appeal, but come on Marto, he is like, horribly terrible with you.”
“That’s can’t be grammatically-“
“Plus I’m pretty sure he’s a Tory.”
“…Yeah” he sighed.
Or: The one where Jon is a suicide risk, Tim is a humorous mess, Martin's dealing and Sasha has the braincell

Summary
Grief is a funny thing. Yes, THAT kind of funny. Tim has always rationalized it as a fugue state, a fever dream, a waking nightmare that you can learn to control if you can find the right words, the right joke. It's like casting a spell, really. Mundane magic. Laughter is the only way to snatch lucidity back from the monsters that haunt you, both real and unreal. It's the only thing that keeps them from devouring you.
But as he watches the wax museum burn, as he cradles the corpse of the man he hated beyond all reason in his arms, as he comes to terms with the fact that he's alive and Daisy is dead, Danny is dead, Sasha is dead, Jon is...he just can't find the punchline.
or; the archivist and co. navigate grief, love, and the eventual eyepocalypse in search of a better future

Jon, fresh from the worm attack, gets to try again, travelling back to the past, just about a few weeks before recording his first statement on recorder. And then he gets another try. And another, and another.
(Infinite Loop Project AU - not canon to the whole thing. Heavily inspired by 'Living in the Circular' by Skye_Star, so go check it out if you like DSMP!)

Summary
On the eve of The Unknowing, Jon summons Gerry with the intent to speak with him one last time before burning his page.
The Ceasless Watcher seizes the chance reclaim Gerry from the hold of the other fears.
---
Or: Words have power; Gerry has a bad habit of helping strays, no matter how badly he wants to deny it; and sharing a body with a dead goth isn't nearly as awful as Jon would've expected it to be.

Summary
The Eye Knows and Sees all, but it cannot understand. That’s what the Archivist is for, to experience, understand, and archive terrible knowledge and fear, and filter that back to the Eye. If Jonah Magnus is the Pupil of the Eye, then Jonathan Sims is the brain that processes what the Eye and Pupil see, for the Beholding does not possess the neural pathways required to feel, let alone understand, fear. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on who you ask) that is about to change.
What happens when a knowledge-seeking entity that cannot think is directly linked to a (lonely, stubborn, morally strict, self-deprecating) human who thinks plenty enough for the both of them?
Or:
the Beholding gains sentience and promptly realizes: life is unfair and existence is pain, but at least it has its funky little Archivist.Jon, freshly woken from a six-month coma, gains a loyal, if annoying, companion during his lowest point.

Summary
After getting tangled in the web of tapes and timelines at the end of the world, Jon was sent back to where it all started; A familiar promotion to Head Archivist, and another chance to get things right.
He failed the first time. And the second, and third, and fourth, and so many other attempts to get things "right" he tries to hide from Elias by keeping any ties to Fear buried underneath a personality and consciousness that has no idea he's present.
Jon's past self doesn't know what he's in for- or what he's capable of with a monster lurking under his skin, while his future self is used to death sending him back for another attempt.
Neither are going to have a good time, but the rest of the Archives team certainly will once Jon stops keeping them out of the loop- especially since this one isn't rewinding.

FIRST MATE: i will literaly hunt you down and use ur head as a fuckkign paperweight
Pew pew: says the one who actually got decapitated and then bit a bloke’s toes off
FIRST MATE: hEY, you say that like its a bad thign
A real Doctor: I agree w Jonny, toes are yummy :D
Pew pew: shut the fuck up Marius
FIRST MATE: shutt he fuck up marius
The hot one: Shut the fuck up, Marius.
OR -- I wrote a chatfic like it's 2020, except it's a TMA/Mechs crossover that really never should've left the dark crevices of my brain that it crawled out of. Featuring a vast array of homosexual hijinks, innumerable octokittens, emotional constipation to such a degree that no amount of laxatives could fix it, and a fuckload of explosions.
ALSO -- This fic contains violence. And character death. Personally, I wouldn't say that it warrants any archive warnings, as I personally wouldn't consider it graphic and, although it is character death, the characters in question are kind of immortal, so, y'know. But I'm using 'chose not to use warnings' because others might consider it graphic or MCD. Please bear this in mind, and look after yourself :]

Summary
Against all odds, Jon figures out a way to reverse the apocalypse - a Web and Spiral domain that should be able to send him back in time. In order to make things as uncomplicated as possible, the plan is for him to travel back to just before the apocalypse started.
Instead he wakes up in 1995, in his eight-year-old body.
Stuck in the past at an age when nobody will take him seriously, Jon will have to team up with some of his worst enemies if he wants to survive to see the future he knows... and unfortunately, things just keep on getting more complicated from there.

The Avatar is in the Eye of the Beholding by JJonahJamesonsbaldspot

Summary
She chalked up her early anxiety to hormones and paranoia from her friends' own sad stories of their husbands. Honestly, his behavior only heightened once the baby was actually born. They'd agreed that Eliad would chose the name if it was a boy and Any would if it was a girl. It ended up being a boy and when Elias held him for the first time, he stared down at his son with a wide smile and said "Hello, Jon."
~~~~~
Or; Jon is Elias's son and no one is surprised that he's an absolutely garbage parent. This both changes everything, and nothing.
