Summary
Martin Blackwood is an up and coming junior reporter for the Daily Thread. Jonathan Bouchard is the notorious husband of this city’s biggest crime boss. He’s bad news wrapped in a red dress and topped off with lipstick, but he’s also Martin's only lead on the mysterious murder of Ms. Gertrude Robinson.
Martin’s booked himself a one way ticket on this runaway train. The only stop now is the truth.

Summary
The voice gets under his skin. Is it pleasing or terrifying? Inside his head or out? Is it even real, or is his still-human brain just cobbling monster-sounds into something he can comprehend?
It’s impossible to get out of his head, whether literal or not.
Doesn’t matter, though, because the answer Michael gives is a terrible one, and ends the same way: Gertrude could protect herself, Jon can’t, and he’s going to die for her sins.

Summary
Jon manages to keep himself from reading all of the Watcher’s Crown and then, somehow, he isn’t there anymore. He’s in the Archives, years earlier. He can fix everything before it starts, right?
Wrong. He’s in Georgie’s flat. There’s still time to make things right, it’s not too late, surely?
Wrong. The Archives, except that that’s not—is that Martin? That’s probably—
Wrong. Scotland. Maybe this was all just a bad dream. Martin says it was all just a bad dream. Martin’s always so right, even if he’s acting off. Even if his hair is streaked with spiderweb.

Summary
"Jon didn’t know if his marriage was abusive or not. It didn’t matter, though, because he wasn’t trapped. He could leave if he wanted.
But leaving would be giving up Jonah’s gift, and Jon wouldn’t do that. Couldn’t do that. He still had nightmares of teeth and claws and blood, not-quite faded memories of his life before. Jonah had saved him from that, and it was a gift worth the tears and bruises and fear.
Jon’s relationship with Jonah was a delicate balance. If Jonah pushed too hard, Jon would leave. If Jon pushed too hard, Jonah would cast him out. The threat of their arrangement coming to an end was enough to keep them both in line."
Jon is stuck with a jealous, cruel sorcerer husband. And then a baker moves into town.

Summary
The Archivist was silent for a moment. “I led prey to them,” they replied. “I helped them hunt. I asked for a story in return, but they didn’t want to give one, so they brought me to you instead.”
He smiled at that, wide and angry in the dark, clenching his teeth until he could imagine the taste of blood. “Did they, now.”

Hope, Etc. (Dickenson et al.) by yellow_caballero

Summary
"What therefore God hath joined together in human and daemon, let not man put asunder." (Mark 10:9)
Jonathan Sims, six months after the Unknowing, wakes to find himself without a daemon - without humanity, without a soul. It's a cursed half-life, but existence as a shell without a heart isn't so bad: between solving the mystery of a persistent illusion cast over his friends and some light pseudo-cannibalism, a life as a monster is better than no life at all. At least, it would be, if it wasn't for the fucking Owl.
Or: break free, Jon. You have nothing to lose anymore.

Summary
“A demonstration?” Jon asks, and the words come out very level, very careful. He’s still frozen in the same position, like he’s afraid he might spook off a bird that’s miraculously landed on him by moving.
Tim opens his mouth to reply, but only manages it on the second try.
“Yeah,” he says. “Hands on, you know. Let you get to see the thing for yourself.”
“And you would be tying up…” Jon says, trailing off into a silence that begs to be filled, answered.
“You,” Tim confirms, and he thinks he sees Jon shiver as he says it. “I couldn’t-- can’t tie myself up, after all.”
“But I can’t-- I don’t do that,” Jon says, as if remembering himself. He almost sounds disappointed. “I don’t-- I don’t enjoy sex. I’m very certain of that much, I made sure. I can’t--”
“Who said anything about sex?”

Summary
It was easier to treat Jon like a monster when he wasn’t shivering against his back, brokenly humming—wait, was that…
“Are you trying to do ‘Hey, Jude’?” Tim demanded.
Jon stopped, stiffening. “Mm hrmh mm mmh hm,” he said defensively.
“You really can’t hold a tune, can you, boss?”
*
It was just an ordinary walk to a restaurant. Tim had insisted that if they were going to talk, there would be no tape recorders or weird Archives ghosts listening in. A bit of fresh air wouldn’t kill him, Tim had said. What could go wrong?
By the time Jon spots the white delivery van, it’s much too late.
The Stranger kidnaps Jon. Tim comes along for the ride.

Summary
‘There’s not a… sixteenth fear entity emerging, is there?’ asked Martin.
‘What? No. Of course not,’ said Peter, frowning. ‘I need you to go and visit Elias and deliver a message from me.’
‘Um,’ said Martin. This sounded worse, actually.
Martin had thought isolating himself from the rest of the world and reading horrible statements about the end of humanity was the worst his job as Peter's assistant could throw at him. It turned out he was very, very wrong.

Summary
It's a classic love story: boy meets a boy literally from his dreams. Boy stares ceaselessly with its hundred eyes. Boy exists only as the vague mockery of the human form. Boy is omniscient and might, in fact, have literally been in your dreams, doing unspeakable things to your mind. Boy may be the Archivist of the Magnus Institute, a mindless abomination - but nobody’s perfect!
When Martin becomes the newest Archival assistant with his friends Tim and Sasha, forced to work together to outrun the famous curse on the position that kills any assistant in three months or less, his romance novel becomes a reality. But who is his dream boy? Who is the Archivist? And, if Martin can’t find out, can he survive?

Summary
Jon Sims, Barista, has everything he ever wanted: a boring coffee shop managerial position, a quirky friend group of disaffected 20somethings, and a will-they-or-won't-they with the village idiot.
Jon Sims, Barista, does not exist.
Jon Sims the Archivist has everything that doesn't exist: a job at a coffee shop full of horrors that wasn't there yesterday, a tip jar full of worms that seem to follow him, and a heteronormative capitalist future where happiness exists without effort.
Jon Sims is dead. Long live Jon Sims. Long Live The Coffee Shop AU.
