Summary
Martin stands next to him on the train. His hand rests just beneath Jon’s where it grips one of the metal poles, and Martin takes care not to brush against him despite how crowded the car is. Jon considered telling Martin, when they first got on the tube, that it was okay—that his touch would be… well, it wouldn’t be bad. Not like Nikola's. But he’d stayed silent, allowing Martin to cultivate a careful space between them. They’ve been silent for the past twenty minutes as they’ve passed by station after station on their way to Martin’s flat in Brixton.
Jon adds 24 hours onto his mental countdown of the time he has left until he’s allowed to break down and tells himself that he can manage. It’s… important to have goals, he thinks. He splits this one into steps.
Step one: get to Martin’s flat without crying.

Summary
Jon coughed again, and blood stained his lips and blood stained Martin’s hands where they pressed against Jon’s back and blood stained the floor beneath them and help, they needed help.
Martin doesn’t remember shouting. He barely remembers the faces that had surrounded them, wide-eyed and terrified, all utterly unfamiliar.
.
Jon and Martin wake up somewhere else. Jon begins a slow path toward physical recovery, and several important, long-put-off conversations are had as they begin to navigate a new world that they hadn’t thought they’d be alive to see.

Summary
Not too long after Jon and Basira return from Ny-Ålesund, a Leitner that forces its reader to always tell the truth works its way into the Institute, and it's only a matter of time before our dear Archivist accidentally (well. Sort of.) finds himself cursed by it. Any question asked of him produces a fully truthful answer, and the more he tries to resist, the more honest and personal the confessions become. Can he and the Archives staff fix this while he still has some secrets left to himself? Or will they succumb completely to their oldest and toughest enemy: direct communication.

Summary
He didn’t know how long he sat there, miserable and wallowing in his own self-pity, before the commotion from the corridor outside caught his attention. He straightened, wiping furiously at his cheeks in an attempt to regain his composure. He didn’t want Basira to see him like this, though… now that he thought about it, it sounded rather urgent to just be Basira returning with his things-
The door slammed open, bouncing against the wall as it struck. Framed in the gap, breathing hard, his hands clenched into fists at his sides, was Martin.

Summary
I've recently been unexpectedly promoted to lead a department in my organisation, wrote the anonymous emailer.
As there was no one working here when I arrived, my manager, who is head of the organisation, had promised me the choice of my own assistants. However, without warning, he simply presented me with an additional assistant. This new assistant’s first act on his first day was to let a dog into the office. It took several hours to catch and clean up after this dog and it has only been downhill from there. I admit I'm not entirely sure what to do with this assistant now I'm stuck with him. I'm hoping you have some advice?
Kind regards,
