Summary
More knocking, sounding hesitant now. Martin gets jerkily to his feet. On the way to his door he grabs one of the bright red canisters of CO2 that he still keeps all over his flat. It’s not Prentiss, he knows it’s not, but if it’s one of Orsinov’s people the CO2 is better than nothing, if only as a bludgeon. He takes in a deep breath and peers through the peephole expecting to see something made of plastic or worse.
Instead he sees Jon stood in the corridor, shuffling his feet nervously.
AU where Jon and Martin confessed their feelings before the Unknowing.

Summary
Martin’s dress coat does little to protect him from the cold of Charmouth Beach in late November. The wind whipping off the sea penetrates his funeral clothes like knives, while his bare cheeks and nose have long since gone numb. His shoes are even more inadequate, plain black Oxfords that are still stiff with newness. He slips over the rocks and nearly twists his ankle over and over again, but all of that may as well be happening to someone else.

Summary
Just like that Jon makes his decision. He won’t lose anyone else, won’t let Basira trap herself, won’t let Daisy stay in there any longer than necessary if there’s even a chance he can get her out. And he thinks he can get her out. If he can't...then he doesn't think it's a bad thing. One less monster in the world; and it's not as though this time he recklessly promised someone that he would come back.
