This Side of the Rain by Erinye

Summary
When Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell disappear, others are left to deal with the consequences of the return of magic to England: this side of the rain, Childermass and Segundus must work together for the greater good, but their paths have crossed many times over the years and feelings have been crushed in the process.
A tale of the man who asked The Question and set the revival of English magic in motion, and of the man who has always seemed to know where to look for answers - except to his own heart’s desires.

Summary
I was watching an adaptation of Macbeth and decided I wanted someone to make a decent academic case for Macbeth being angrily in love with Banquo (really just very tired of the continual "Lady Macbeth was totes manipulating him with her VAGINA MAGIC" interpretations) and EffieNell told me to; I have had it to my eyeballs and never want to have to write an essay about Shakespeare ever again, especially not Macbeth, so... I wrote this. Instead.

Summary
“You’re really suggesting this,” Martin says, voice pulled thin.
“Yes.” No hesitation.
“You would- actually do it?”
“I would.”
“With me.”
“Yes, Martin.”
“Why?” Because love is blind, says something cliché and cruel in the pit of his gut. Christ, he never was much of a poet, was he?Or,
When Jon asks Martin to Quit the Archives with him, Martin says yes. Things don't go as planned. In the Scottish Highlands, they hurt, and they heal.
(Re-written as of 22-12-27; see chapter 9 for more info.)

Summary
Ah, Jon realises, he's probing for an intellectual discussion about their shared hatred of poetry. Of course!
"It's… unimaginative. They can describe a scene, certainly, but the writing feels devoid of any feeling other than disproportionate wide-eyed wonder. In fact, their only inspiration seems to be rain, the streets of London, and rain on the streets of London. Not to mention that their writing style is so enamoured with Keats that it lacks any distinction of its own. What do you think of it?"
Jon does not seem to have given the man the intellectual stimulation that he's looking for.
"Oh…" His eyebrows are nearing his hairline. His front teeth overlap, Jon notes when he offers a nervous smile. That's quite cute. "Um, I- I wrote it?"

Summary
“Well, I've never run a museum, but refusing to socialise with anyone who works there doesn't seem like the only way forward,” says Georgie. The Admiral places an inquisitive paw on her chin. “Just my two cents.”
And what could he say to that? Jon would have happily continued along his established track of failed curmudgeonly authority if the cat-situation hadn't come along to bond him and his co-workers in hushing up some gross museological malpractice.
(Oh, Jon knows it's just Martin. He wouldn't have thought twice about inviting Tim or Sasha over, and he knows exactly why. Not addressing that 'why' is a deliberate choice: whatever he feels for Martin needs a sturdy dam, or he'll find himself lost in the flood before long.)

Summary
The stairs creak, and Martin freezes. Sasha has the decency to stop in her tracks and look up, eyes darting to the door. “That's not good.”
“What's he even doing up here?” Other than coming to kill me, supplies Martin's mind helpfully. “I thought he was sorting through donation receipts today!”
“One of us can distract him,” Sasha offers, and immediately sneezes. “Not me though. Allergy's a dead giveaway.”
“I'm not legally allowed to move,” says Tim, making no move to dislodge either of the two kittens currently attached to him. “Sorry, Martin.”(In which Martin embarks on a hopeless quest to hide four cats and a monumental crush from his boss, Jon indulges his anarchist streak, and Tim and Sasha have no qualms encouraging shenanigans.)

Summary
The thing is, Jonathan Sims is someone you’d call the police on if you saw him hanging around a school, those frazzled clothes and bags under his eyes, the frantic muttering and thousand-year stare.
Yet there he sits, headteacher of The Magnus Institute for Gifted Young Minds.
The name’s a bit misleading, it is. They’re in a bad part of town. The parents are either terrible or absent, and the kids—
“They’re monsters,” his new and handsome coworker grins, when Martin’s signature on his contract is barely dry. “Absolute monsters. Get too close and you’ll lose some fingers. Or maybe your mind.”
“They’re babies,” is all Martin can feebly manage, in reply, and Tim’s eyes narrow at the fondness in his voice.
“You’ll learn.”- Language:

Summary
When Jon tries to ask questions they either sound judgemental or demanding. When they try to be kind they lose what small capacity for self-expression they usually have. When they want to be soft, their words come out hard. They laugh at the wrong times and second-guess themself constantly and can’t make eye contact and forget to ask how people are all the goddamn time.
Obviously Martin was never going to fall for them.
*
Jon reads Martin’s blog post about having feelings for someone, and assumes he means someone else. Someone not them. Much wailing and gnashing of teeth ensues, at least until Gerry finally manages to persuade Jon to actually talk to Martin.

Summary
Martin has a blog in which he talks about his favourite things – and a small but somewhat unruly community of readers. Surely this won’t lead to him falling in love with his grumpiest commenter!

Summary
“Mr. Crowley, I presume?” Aziraphale asked in lieu of an introduction, which was not forthcoming. The guy hadn’t even removed his sunglasses. Oh God, he had a tattoo on his face. Aziraphale wasn’t one to judge, but… what kind of gardener had a snake tattoo on his face?

Summary
After the end of the end of the world, Jon and Martin end up in the same place the Entities do—which is to say, everywhere. The problem is, they’ve never been everywhere before, and it’s not as easy as it looks. While they would very much like to help the innumerable worlds that they doomed to the predation of the Dread Powers, they don’t have much practice at influencing reality through spooky books, monsters, or spacetime manipulation. That doesn’t mean they don’t try their best.
Elsewhere, in one of these innumerable worlds, Jon finds a book. It tells him to fall in love, and also, to invest in a cement mixer.

Love and Nonsense at Leitner Press by The_KickIt_Domain
Fandoms: The Magnus Archives (Podcast)
11 Dec 2021
Tags
Summary
Jonathan Sims enjoys his work as an editor for Leitner Press, even if it does put him in touch with a rotating cast of bizarre occult and esoteric authors (bug-enthusiast Jane Prentiss and flagship author and recluse Jonah Magnus to name a couple).
Then one day, his publisher and mentor Gertrude Robinson disappears without a trace and is replaced by her boneheaded son, Michael. To make matters worse, Jon has been assigned a new assistant (who he absolutely does NOT need, thank you very much), Martin Blackwood.
Martin has a couple secrets up his sleeve:
1) His very undistinguished secret career
2) His all-consuming crush on his new bossSeries

Summary
Special Agent Anthony Crowley hadn't assumed infiltrating a lesbian convention to sniff out anti-American sentiments would be easy, but he also hadn't banked on an ambiguously-queer academic with peroxide-blonde hair and a talent for seeing right through him.

Summary
Aziraphale and Crowley both write fanfiction. As it happens, they both write Good Omens fanfiction.
Of course, neither of them would ever admit this to the other.
