Summary
Gerry knew ‘love at first sight’ was bullshit. Love took time, it took work, it took a hell of a lot more than a glance. But the moment he and his daemon laid eyes on his soon-to-be best friend, there was familiarity. The love came later.
Love was the beat of a raven’s wing, the curve of a vulture’s beak, feathers mingled on the floor, the touch of a fated hand. It all comes out after a disastrous Leitner hunting trip.

"The Vast and the Buried are far more two sides of the same coin than they are true opposites, which I know for certain because even now, I’m not sure which one tried to drown me when I was seventeen."

Summary
Gerard Keay was in the holds of the Spiral for 3 years. Thrown into the current time confused and lost he is set to still work alongside the current archivist. Albeit with Elias's own requests thrown in but Gerard couldn't care. He didn't realize the Distortion would still be so attached after all this time.
He didn't realize the several fears he'd been feeding for so long.
He didn't realize how much he missed Micheal Shelley.
He didn't realize he was on the verge of becoming a monster.Maybe Gerard had always been one.
Elias seems set to prove that true.

The Burning of Mr Spider - A TMA × Own Series Short Fic by Dexter_Kronos

Summary
In most other universes, Mr Spider succeeds in Marking Jonathan "Jon" Sims with the power of The Web at the tender age of 8 years old.
This action would begin a spiral of circumstances that, in most cases, leads the young boy to the Magnus Institute, where one manipulative piece of work twists him into nothing more than a cosmic lynchpin for an apocalyptic ritual that may or may not come to pass.
But in this timeline, a Desolation-Huntresses, a Private Eye and an End-Beholding Sectioned Officer get in the way, burning Mr Spider, his book and his domain before the young boys' eyes.
Ever since, Jonathan Sims has done everything he can to repay the favour, training under the Desolation-Huntress, burning any Leitner he finds, and fighting off the wrath of the supernatural. He has friends to help him with his goals, and all in all, life is... manageable.
Yet on quiet nights, a question tends to resurface... one no one seems to have an answer to.
What did Mr Spider mean when it called him Little Archive?

AKA; A retrospective on the life of Leitner Hunter Jonathan "Jon" Sims, beginning from the burning of Mr Spider.Series

WARNING: THIS WILL CONTAIN MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE MAGNUS ARCHIVES
Imagine if The Magnus Archives ended differently, if Sasha didn't get Not-Them'd, if Tim didn't die in explosion at the Unknowing, and Jon didn't accidentally start the apocolypse. This is that story, with some extra OCs mixed in

Summary
"I haven't played the guitar in years," Gerry protested weakly. They knew there was no way Mike was going to budge on this, but a man could dream.
"It's like riding a bike. Once you learn you never really forget," Mike said, taking another sip of his tea. He made a face; it had probably gone cold by now. That or he put too much sugar into it. Mike hated sweets almost as much as he hated the floral tea Gerry liked. Tea snob.
"I never learned how to ride a bike," Gerry said, though his voice was clearly resigned.
"Sounds like a you problem," Mike said, leaning onto the table. Gerry kicked him, and the blonde cursed under his breath. Gerry would pay for that later, but in the moment it was very satisfying.
In which Gerry and Mike find love, friendship, and the power of Music! (And incredible acts of violence. Can't forget the violence!)

Summary
Once, Jon read one of the books his Grandma brought for him. It had been a horror book, a pretty scary one at that. Something about vampires. It didn’t sound that scary, but Jon had multiple sleepless nights after that. He just couldn’t put it away, too filled with his stupid fascination.
When Grandma had found the book hidden under his mattress, she had scolded him for reading something so out of his age range, then assured him that it was just a story with no ties to reality. Books couldn’t hurt you, no matter how scared it might make you, she had said.
And Jon had believed her.
He concluded after reading about Mr. Spider, that she probably hadn’t meant to lie to him, she had simply told him what she believed to be the truth, no matter how wrong it really was.
-
The road to avatarhood is long, but maybe having support there to guide him will make it just a bit less painful for Jon.
