Summary
"Oh my god," Sasha says, "you didn't - you didn't know. Tim, I was literally thrown into Simon's stupid Sky when I was twenty-one and came out somehow working for the same Entity that you work for? "
"What is going on," says Martin meekly, mostly to himself.
"I," flounders Tim. "Sash, what the FUCK?"
In which Jane Prentiss' attack happens, but no one is hurt for a reason that Elias Bouchard absolutely cannot know.

The standard chatfic but with more Nastya by Cassandras_Prophecies
Fandoms: The Magnus Archives (Podcast), The Mechanisms (Band)

Summary
What it says on the tin.
I've read like pretty much every fic under the 'The Mechanisms Were Jonathan 'Jon' Sims | The Archivist's College | University Band' and it always bothered me that the sibling relationship with Nastya and Jonny that's everywhere in mech fics isn't carried over.
So I wrote it myself (You know you're desperate when you have to write it yourself)
There's supposed to be 12 chapters but we'll see how that goes.-

Summary
Jonny does not mean to end up at her door. He certainly never means to go back. Yet somehow he always does.
This is my own take on Dr. Carmilla experimenting on her children. Jonny does everything he can to protect the rest of her crew, which often results in painful consequences. This is mostly from Nastya's POV as she handles taking care of the aftermath of Carmilla's experiments. She feels useless and like she can't do anything to stop the torture Jonny endures for the sake of the rest of them.
Then she does do something about it.
There is no description of the actual medical procedures because I am 1. Not a doctor and 2. Scared of researching any of that.
Most of the gore is pretty mild.Updates were very loosey-goosey. Sorry :(
The sequel is called Luck Wasn't Meant to Live This Long. (It's got lots of OC work and it's separate from this so it's not in a series)-

Summary
As Jonny laughed on the floor, he wondered how it could have happened, how he could have let this happen, how he could have been so stupid, how much the others hated him, how much he hated himself for hating them back, how much he missed them, how much he loved them.
He stared at the knife. A knife. he was being killed by a knife.

Summary
"For someone who spent his eternal life killing and stealing, Jonny spent much more time hungry than one would expect. It had started off small, insignificant in the grand scheme of it all, but had grown. One skipped meal a day became two became only eating to put on a show of false greed for the sake of his crew. Over time, the emptiness became familiarity, the sharp pain of more hunger than could happen accidentally became the comfort of something consistent. Something fixed, something that rarely changed."

TMA but Jon is a GenZ time traveler by RottenTomatoChild
Fandoms: The Magnus Archives (Podcast)
22 Jun 2026
Tags
Summary
Jon dislikes Tims usage of memes, Jon doesn’t catch all pop culture references that are thrown at him, Jon flinches when two certain numbers are spoken in succession, Jon does basically all his work on his computer, but never stops complaining about it, Jon dresses like he’s eighty but has a suspiciously young face, Jon says “cringe” out loud instead of actually cringing. Jon does a lot of weird things.
Sasha thinks he had a sheltered childhood,
Martin thinks he’s just not that caught up with the times,
Tim thinks he is as old as he dresses, and that dementia is catching up with him.
None of them are right, not even close, and Jon is terrible at lying. It’s only a matter of time before they find out.

Part time pirate, Full time heir by UnknownFicWriter
Fandoms: The Magnus Archives (Podcast), The Mechanisms (Band)
07 May 2026
Tags
Summary
Jonny D'ville is a well known pirate, and Jonathan "Jon" Magnus Sims is the heir to a throne. If the fact that they're the same person gets out? Well, let's just say it wouldn't be good.
Martin knows none of this. Martin just knows three things; Prince Jon is hot, Jonny is hot, Jonny saved his life once, He may or may not be hopelessly inlove with Jonny. Wait, make that four things.
What's this about them being engaged?
