Summary
“It’s not exactly a secure profession.” That was Jon, his body tense, in the way that Martin had learned to read as unhappy. “Half of all travelling players break up within a year of formation.”
“So, we’ll be in the other half.” The woman - Sasha - shot him a smile, apparently unbothered by his manner.
“The instances of violence, disease and robbery …” Jon began, with the familiar air of someone who was afflicted with knowledge and was going to make damn sure you were too; but Tim cut him off.
“Do I detect a hint of concern about me?” He gave Jon a grin which was nine parts amused, to one part genuinely touched.
Jon stared rigidly at his parchment.
“I’m simply trying to ensure that you make an informed decision.”

Summary
Decades of plotting, of deft plucks upon the web of fate, lead to a single moment, the moment an Archivist would be confronted with the solemn terror that his lifetime of denials could not save him when the supernatural came knocking. It would all culminate with the crumbling of a single wall, both physical and metaphorical, dividing his mundane world and the world of the Fears no longer. A single strike to shatter his illusion of safety forever, all orchestrated by a single spider.
In one world, Jonathan Sims gave into his impulse to end every spider he came across in his mortal life, and that decision would reverberate around the world fourteen-fold until even the Earth itself cried out in horror. And yet, in perhaps a kinder yet stranger world, Jonathan Sims, Head Archivist of the Magnus Institute, London, would do what he was primed to do from childhood and give in to his fear.
With consequences none anticipated, this unlikely turn of events will win Jon the trust of unlikely allies and the ire of familiar foes and change the tapestry of the web in ways even the Mother could not anticipate.

Summary
The entity that comes to be known as John Doe wakes up in his own grave with no memory of who he is or how he got there. Arthur Lester is an Arkham detective that takes on the amnesiac's case.

Summary
It’s ridiculous, John knows this, it's a job, just a job, one that will pay the bills, it’s even one that requires a level of knowledge he’s spent the better part of two decades cultivating. It’s just-
John loathed high school the first time. He could never understand the rules people expected him to follow, so the thought of going back–willingly–even to work as a sound tech for a school he’s never stepped foot in is-
Well, it feels like he’s lost somehow. Lost what? John doesn’t know. But it feels like by going into that building and spending his evenings there, he’s somehow failed.
or John is a broke techie, so he takes a job at the local high school, helping in the sound booth and teaching students more about it. Arthur Lester is a single dad whose daughter is in her last year of high school, and her theater department needs a new pianist for their fall musical.
High school drama occurs, there is no budget to fix anything, and somewhere along the way, John and Arthur find each other. -

Summary
In the unlikely event that they both survived, Martin swore he’d never let Jon out of his sight. He’d protect him from himself. Martin would take care of Jon and keep him from ever hurting himself again.
In the unlikely event that he survived, Jon wished he would never have to choose for himself again.
They should have been more careful what they wished for.
