    Summary

    We all have those high school stories. The time someone climbed on top of the lockers at lunch break. The time teachers thought you and your friends were gambling, but you were just trying to order pizza. The time it was bucketing down with rain, and you were getting wet anyway so you went fuck it, and ended up walking into the computer lab soaking wet.

    The time you had a teacher that can command the attention of any student no matter how unruly, a teacher with scars and a teacher who never ate lunch with the rest of the faculty.

    --------------------------------------------------------
    OR: Mr. Sims is a strange teacher.

      Bookmark Notes:

      THE tma fic series. definitely canon divergent, its gerry-centric and a lot of people who die in canon don’t! first one i read after tma finally got me into reading again, and it killed me. its so good, and does end hopefully, but it will absolutely tear you yo pieces leading up to that. has tim/gerry, sasha/melanie/georgie, martin/danny, and gerry w DID, POTS, and EDS, cane user jon w ASD, OCD, and EDS, hoh tim w bpd, amd lots of queerness, in so many ways. and lots of trauma. and mommy and daddy issues. for several characters. and addiction and mental health issues. A LOT of addiction and mental health issues. but they’re not sad forever? great series, absolutely worth a read, and got me interested in some ships i’d never considered

    Summary

    “Remember: when humans ascend, they are still human; when they fall, they are still human.”

     

    -

     

    Xie Lian drops off 13 statements on a visit to the Magnus Institute, and leaves his own while he's there. Jon, as per usual, needs to Know.

     

    -

     

    Or: MXTX characters as Fear Entity Avatars. You can pick and choose which ones to read, the only connections will be the fact that Xie Lian dropped the statements off and Hua Cheng compiled them, plus connections to characters of the same story.

    Summary

    ARCHIVIST (STATEMENT)
    There’s comfort in the shadows. They are the only thing that has held me since Qi-ge, and the only touch that doesn’t promise pain. Shadows are extensions of the back rooms of the Warm Red Pavilion, safe havens free of the men the jiejies serve more kindly than they’re worthy of.
    I miss it more than I’d like. I’d be so much safer there than I am here, in the clutches of everything I ever wanted, and pinned down by its unforgiving hands.

     

    -

     

    Statement of Shen Jiu, regarding the futility of hiding from monsters.

    Summary

    "He turned to watch Gertrude close the gate, and it was as if the streets of London faded away once they were locked inside.

    Jonathan could still see them, just past the gate, but he couldn’t quite make out the faces of any of the people or the words on the signs of the buildings and it felt distinctly unfamiliar despite it being where he grew up and came from.

    The other side of the gate might as well have been a whole other world."

    Or,

    The one where Jonathan Sims was taken to The Magnus Institute at the age of eight after his grandmother died via a spider from an evil children's book and redirected to their sister organization, Camp Magnus. In the early 2000s, after a decade of working his way up the ranks in the camp, Jon starts to realize that maybe, their childhood refuge and home might not be what it seems.

    Summary

    A series of short, interconnected stories about a certain teacher and his students, and maybe some surprise guests along the way.

    Jonathan Sims, The Archivist, teaches a year 13 elective class on Paranormal Sciences, because the school board took one look at his resume, saw The Magnus Institute listed as a previous workplace, and went 'we have a better idea' for his History teacher application. His first batch of students are not what he expected in the slightest, featuring: Kyōryokuna ‘Ko’ James, the Collector; Dian Cooper, hypersomniac goth; Christopher 'Kit' Wilson, tired barista; Alex Pierce, amateur paranormal investigator; Zuri Jelani, local sceptic; and Duke Murdock, Slaughter avatar in the making. There are also mugs. A lot of mugs.

    Tag along and have a blast in this sandbox of ideas I've started mucking about in. This is my chill project. It's really fun to write.

    Summary

    voiceless-terror said to postapocalyptic-cryptic-fic:
    yo, it's me again. if you want, i really like 'i cant see' or 'take it easy' with jon and anyone you like!! love your fics <3

    Prompt fill for my lovely friend Rye on tumblr! I chose "I can't see" with Tim and Season 1. Just some short fluffy goodness with Jon angst. He gets into a statement he shouldn't have and the Dark really doesn't play nice with the Eye.

    Summary

    [Discount Blank has been used!]
    [You have 7 days where Precognition, Postcognition, and any "Thinker" power won't work on you and it will actively deceive these powers to make them believe it is working perfectly as intended.]
    [Good luck ;3]

    As he read the paper, it burst into flames, leaving behind not even ashes.

    "..." He paused for a moment. He was in Earth Bet, Brockton Bay. Somehow, he was the Avatar of EVERY single Fear Entity at the same time, and to top it all off, he had a bunch of "drawbacks" on him...

    "I am so fucked."

    -x-

    Basically; SI has a pool of powers (All the Fear Entities) and a bunch of drawbacks, let's see how I can fuck this world up and maybe fix it at the same time.

    Summary

    The main characters from Avatar: The Last Airbender as different Avatars from The Magnus Archives.

    --

    There is a boy, with eyes like a stormcloud, deep and fathomless. He has arrows tattooed on his head, on his arms. When you ask about them he laughs, and says ‘when I’m upside down’ as though that was all the explanation. He asks if you want to do something fun, a roller coaster, skydiving, a trampoline park.

    When you agree, it is fun, at first.

    You close your eyes to protect them from the rushing wind. When you open them again, the ground is gone. There is no down. There is only sky, and you are falling. Beside you he laughs, bright and joyous and childlike, though it can hardly be heard over your screams. His arrows are pointed up, wherever that is.

    As he cannonballs past you for the 3rd, 8th, 19th, 76th time he says that ‘fear is what makes it fun’. His ‘woops’ cover your sobs.

    Trigger Warnings: Basically every TMA entity. Specifically mentions of claustrophobia, cannibalism, suicide, manipulation, ect.

    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.

    Summary

    An anthology of 14 stand-alone vignettes about minor divergences from canon, each caused by Jon's recording a statement that was quite a bit different from usual, and the repercussions thereof.
