Summary
Recently Jon started acting… strangely. He’d find himself doing things with no rationale behind them, sowing doubts amidst the archives.
He can’t tell his coworkers what’s happening. It’s not that he doesn’t want to, he just can’t.

Jonathan Sims, Were-Spider by ArcSilverfishTheBugWriter

Summary
Jon was very sleep deprived as usual so he didn’t pay attention to the book as he took it out of the dusty box. “Ugh, Martin really needs to be better about dusting the cobwebs off these things before bringing them into my office.” No, he didn’t know it was necessarily Martin who brought it in here. But he was so very easy to blame for everything. He put the book on his desk and opened it. He was going to research the Web.

Summary
He grabbed him by the shoulders. “Jon. Jon. Look outside.”
So, he did.
Bodies, mangled thin-skinned bodies scratching at the windows. Their mouths were wide open and teeth covered in black. Jon wanted to know where they came from, he needed to ask. But before he could do anything, Tim was tugging him by the arm to Artefact Storage of all things. It was underground, sure, but no way they could stay!

Summary
Jonathan Sims, Head Archivist of the Magnus Institute, London, has always tried to keep both feet on the ground. It’s a pity, then, that the universe has other plans, and upon making a rather ill-advised decision to read one troublesome book, Jon finds his life quite literally turned upside down. Now six feet overground and one strong breeze away from deep space exploration, he’ll have to reckon with the forces that rule his life—and, ultimately, decide whether they rule him at all.
But while Jon pontificates from on high, the inestimable Sasha James, Archival Assistant and unintended sleuth, is trying to discover what all this is about. Surrounded by suspicious strangers, mind-mangling manuscripts, and unexplained plumbing problems, she has plenty of places to start. She’ll find out who did this, even if it means uncovering a few cults along the way. Even if she feels a strange, growing kinship with the dark. Even if her friendship with Tim is deteriorating more by the day.
Fighting the forces of darkness has never been so lonely.
In which Jon learns to let go, Sasha tries to hold tight, and hindsight is twenty-twenty—assuming you still have eyes.
Updates Wednesdays BST.

Like Water On A Prayer Wheel (The Ineffable Domain) by puffmunch_queen13

Summary
“Hey,” he said, nodding at Martin and throwing him a cheeky grin. His accent seemed to be a cross between cockney and Scottish, which was another odd thing for Martin to be focused on. The man leaned on his car. “Get in if you don’t want to die.”
“Nope, nope, nope!” Martin said, backing away. “I’m not an idiot!”
The tall redhead checked his huge watch with a scowl. “Would it persuade you if I said please?”

Or: Aziraphale and Crowley have their own domain in the TMA Eyepocalypse! (Also, they've adopted Gerry. It will make more sense if you read the first part of the series :)Series

Summary
When the first drop hit the ground he snapped out of it. How many liters of blood could a twelve year old body lose before he was just an empty husk, like he had been drained by a vampire? And now the small puddle was spreading and getting everywhere and Mary would kill him if he bled all over the front steps. What was he thinking, using the handrail anyways?
He could support himself.
..
In which Gerry Keay sorely wishes someone else would hold the lighter.

Summary
“He was born. He was pointless. And he should’ve died.”
Michael Shelley knows very little. The main points of his knowledge can be summarised as follows:
One: He is, as far as he knows, still Michael–although this is dubious, and perhaps does not count.
Two: The world that he lives in is not what he thought it was. It never has been, and it never will be again.
Three: He cannot, in any circumstances from now until the end of days, trust Gertrude Robinson.An AU in which the Great Twisting crumbled before Michael could be consumed by The Distortion–and he emerges, alive and angry about it. Alternatively, an AU in which Gertrude begins to work on her theories about the rituals much, much earlier, and Gerry finds himself chasing the mystery that is Michael Shelley.

Magnus Institute? Nah. Magnus Thrift Shop.
Yes there are still fears
Yes there are still monsters
Leitners and cursed artifacts are kept up by the register
They all take turns running the register, sorting donations, pricing items, and doing archival duties. Jon still reads the statements though and the others do archival research.Rules:
1. Do Not take items from behind the register. These items are very dangerous.
2. No murder or maiming. This includes, but is not limited to, cutting, hitting, burning, shoving people into the Lonely, manipulating or compelling people into dangerous or harmful situations, turning people’s skin into book pages, taking people’s bones or putting in new bones without enthusiastic consent, filling people with worms or spiders, burying people, infecting people with disease, and gun violence. This means you, Elias.
3. No reading Leitners in the store or surrounding parking lot even after purchase. Take them home and ruin only your own lives please, thanks!
We reserve the right to send out our Archivist to compel you into stopping if you break the rules. -

Summary
A new Archive. A new Archivist. A new narrative, filled with every shade of terror.
Welcome to The Magnus Institute, London, an organisation dedicated to academic research into the esoteric and the paranormal. The new Head Archivist, Sasha James, is in dire need of help, especially as she settles into the job. Your work as an Archival Assistant may not always be easy or glamorous, but I expect you shall get used to it soon enough. Just... take it one statement at a time. I am certain that eventually, you will understand your role in the story to come.

Summary
The two relaxed, watching as the fire crackled, the Leitners gradually catching alight. Smoke coiled between the books, leisurely escaping and rising into the night. The flames licking at the paper stretched and magnified, encroaching on all the kindling within reach. The fire grew and grew until, at last, it could grow no more and all that remained of the heap was smoldering ash and half a dozen ruined bookplates.
They were gone.
Gerry took Jon’s hand in his and led him away from their alleyway.
