Summary
Draco snorted. “I’m not reduced to penury. I want something considerably beyond money, and I rather think you’re the only one can give it to me.”
“You want the Invisibility Cloak,” Harry said, flatly. He’d half expected as much; it was the only thing he had that Draco could want—
“Don’t be stupid, Potter,” Draco said. “I want my reputation back.”

Summary
“Have you got anywhere to stay?” Jon asks him, briskly. “Friends, acquaintances, maybe, who you could stay with…?”
Martin flushes, deeply. “I, I mean— n-no, not really,” he stammers, and then goes even redder. “Or, just, y’know not that I’d want to, to. Put in the middle of this. Put in danger of, of worms.”
“Ah,” Jon says, “No, of course, that makes sense.” Why drag anyone else into this mess? Seven people died during Prentiss’s initial hospitalization; the collateral damage of roping someone from outside the Institute into her orbit doesn’t bare thinking about. “In that case…” Jon feels like there’s some alternative solution, one he’s just not thinking of at the moment, but it evades him, and Martin needs somewhere safe to stay. “My couch is quite comfortable. You’re welcome to come and stay with me until you figure something else out.”
Martin is held hostage by Jane Prentiss for two weeks, and can't go back to his flat. Jon offers him a place to stay until Prentiss and her worms can be dealt with, and they can be sure he's safe.

Summary
There’s a second on the doorstep before Martin is present enough to realise he has to take over here. A small oh escapes him and he starts patting down his pockets. Eventually he finds the keys, fumbling them in hands that he’s realising now are freezing. Freezing, how has Jon been holding them this long without flinching? Oh. That’s when he realises they’ve been holding hands and now they’re not and nearly drops the keys.

Summary
“You’re really suggesting this,” Martin says, voice pulled thin.
“Yes.” No hesitation.
“You would- actually do it?”
“I would.”
“With me.”
“Yes, Martin.”
“Why?” Because love is blind, says something cliché and cruel in the pit of his gut. Christ, he never was much of a poet, was he?Or,
When Jon asks Martin to Quit the Archives with him, Martin says yes. Things don't go as planned. In the Scottish Highlands, they hurt, and they heal.

Summary
“F-Fuck,” he breathes. He’s going to be sick; nightmares have haunted him almost every night since they arrived here, first at Jon’s bedside for the second time in as many years, and then in their cramped flat. It’s always the same. The same memory. The same moment. The same feeling.

In the small hours Somewhere Else, Martin wakes from a nightmare and Jon is simultaneously better and worse at this whole "romance" thing than previously thought.

His eyes are at once dead and horribly, horribly alive. The milky film over his cornea does little to hush the luminous golden brown of his irises, huge around pupils so shrunken that Martin can hardly see them.
Jonathan Sims blinks. Then he frowns.

Summary
“Did you have a… secret past life?”
Martin snorts. “As if I had the time.” He shakes his head, turning back to the task at hand. “I wanted to, but I was mostly boring, you know? Go to work, come home… the worst I did was get a tattoo.”
Jon feels his need to know almost take him out at the knees; where? Of what? Why? When did he get it? Between Martin’s brief sojourn in document storage and their awkward first night on the sofa, Jon’s seen most of him—where is it? Forcing himself to be normal about this, he nods stiffly. Words gather in a landslide against his teeth and he clenches his jaw, brows raised in an expression that he hopes exudes polite curiosity.
From Martin’s smirk, he misses the mark by a mile.

Love and Nonsense at Leitner Press by The_KickIt_Domain

Summary
Jonathan Sims enjoys his work as an editor for Leitner Press, even if it does put him in touch with a rotating cast of bizarre occult and esoteric authors (bug-enthusiast Jane Prentiss and flagship author and recluse Jonah Magnus to name a couple).
Then one day, his publisher and mentor Gertrude Robinson disappears without a trace and is replaced by her boneheaded son, Michael. To make matters worse, Jon has been assigned a new assistant (who he absolutely does NOT need, thank you very much), Martin Blackwood.
Martin has a couple secrets up his sleeve:
1) His very undistinguished secret career
2) His all-consuming crush on his new bossSeries

Summary
"You can't be serious." Jonathan Sims raises his eyes at last to properly look at Georgie, expecting her to laugh and make some quip about finally getting him to put the damn book down, at least.
"Well, I am," she shoots back.
He sets his book aside and turns fully towards her, betrayal clear on his face. "A blind date, really?"
Jon makes the frankly terrible decision to go on a blind date with one Martin Blackwood. Fate ensues. AU where Jon and Georgie are still friends, Georgie likes finding dates for her friends, Martin doesn't work at the institute, and everyone is just a bit happier while canon spooky stuff goes on in the background. Takes place juuust barely pre-canon in the beginning but catches up quickly. Inspired as usual by the wonderful conversations with my friend RavenXavier/somuchbetterthanthat.

Summary
Martin couldn’t remember exactly when or why he’d joined the Knights of the Lonely. He supposed that was by design.
Knights of the Lonely weren’t meant to last long. They were built to take blows, and, if necessary, they were built to die. He supposed that suited him fine.
But upon an assignment to escort the Watcher’s betrothed to the Kingdom of Beholding, Martin began to realize that, perhaps, there was something he was missing. Perhaps it was in the shape of a person with bright, intelligent eyes and acerbic wit, with prickly edges and a gentle smile when he thought no one was looking.
There was only one problem. He wasn’t meant to let the Watcher’s betrothed reach the kingdom alive.

Summary
Martin takes a deep breath, closes his eyes, and says, “I may have … met a god?”
Sasha blinks at him. “Is that a metaphor, or…?”
Softly, Martin says, “Their name is Jon.”
.
In a historical-esque fantasy world with gods and humans, Martin, a human who works as a librarian and bookbinder, stumbles across a temple full of books and meets Jon, a god of knowledge who’s taken an interest in Martin and wants to get to know him. Martin splits his time between working at the village library alongside Sasha, who’s suspicious of where all the new books are coming from, searching for a cure for his terminally ill mother who seems to dislike him no matter what he does, and visiting the temple to read books and tell stories with Jon. As he spends more and more time with Jon, Martin begins to realize how wonderful it is—but also how difficult it can be—to fall in love with a god.

Summary
Martin realized he liked keeping their relationship a secret. Martin preferred to keep important things close, and Jon had a strong desire to keep his personal and professional lives separate. Jon played up his small irritations, even including some comments on the recordings. And few things were funnier than Tim and Sasha trying to figure out why Jon hated Martin so much.
But Martin is far too in love with Jon for his own good, and he should've expected that one day, he wouldn't hide his smile at Jon's antics fast enough.
It's the beginning of the end, really.

The first time was an accident. It sounds mad, he knows that—how do you kiss someone on accident? It wasn't like one of them tripped and Martin caught Jon with his lips.
No, it started with an argument.

Summary
They'd been in Scotland for two days now, and together for four. They'd kissed, held hands, shared a bed, and had all the dramatic confessions and baring-of-hearts that both had been dreaming of for the past year or more. The day had dawned bright and sunny, and Martin was right: it was a good time to get into the nuances.

Summary
There is a war brewing with the Witch Lords of the north, and the Serene Empire is not powerful enough to stand against them. Their only hope is to forge an alliance with the mysterious Lord of Eyes, a Witch Lord who is famed as much for his neutrality as his power.
Martin Blackwood, a minor Raverran noble with far less political expertise than he claims, is drawn into the fray through a chance encounter at a ball. With an invitation to study at the Lord of Eyes’ personal Archive, he is sent racing north to turn this opportunity to the Empire’s advantage and somehow convince the terrifying Lord to save his country.
