    Summary

    Jonathan Sims is a single father and the sole librarian of the most disorganized library in existence. Martin Blackwood's life has entered a new chapter but he can't seem to find the plot. Jon's daughter causes a chance encounter that throws them inexorably into one another's lives. As Jon receives a strange shipment of rare, peculiar books, he realizes that his life is only about to grow more complicated - and more dangerous.

    Summary

    Jon sends the fears far from Earth and flees London, leaving the others to assume the worst. He settles in a small village and opts to live there quietly until he dies, a self-imposed penance. This plan is foiled when the first former Avatar shows up - and Jon realizes that every domain-keeper in the apocalypse still has some faint connection to him.

    After a year of being a shoulder to cry on for confused and distraught former Avatars, Jon leads a moderately happy life. He has a flourishing garden, a cat, and some company. All of that comes crashing around his ears (or his head) when a familiar face shows up to his cabin, demanding answers.

    Summary

    A brain-eating amoeba has swept the halls of Princeton-Plainesboro, moving impossibly fast and striking seemingly at random. As House investigates, he realizes that this disease does not have a natural cause. There are two geniuses living in Princeton: one a cranky misanthrope with dubious morals in love with his best friend, and the other a mad genius who has developed an obsession with Gregory House. Wilson and House leap into action to find a cure, but the mysterious James always seems one step ahead... and he will stop at nothing to catch House's eye.

    Summary

    "What would you have done?"

    The infarction was something they didn't talk about. Ever. Through mutual, unspoken agreement, they never talked about the intimate details of those hellish days and the year following it. It had made the silence between them jagged and hard for awhile, but those edges dulled over time. At least for Wilson they did.

    "Please don't make me answer that."

    Summary

    "You jerk," Wilson sighed when House walked in and set a mug on Wilson's desk. Wilson was stretched out on his own couch. The nausea had ebbed slightly during the morning, but then he'd tried to eat a little oatmeal, and now it seemed in danger of flowing again.

    "It's tea," House said. Wilson glanced up at him, and House looked away. "From Cameron."

    "Yes, God forbid I think you care," Wilson said.

    Summary

    ___

    Or, Logan and Wade's bumpy road to domesticity.

    Summary

    “You always do that,” Wade says, idly carding through Logan’s hair, finger twirling one lock that he just knows will end up looking curlier than the rest of his hair.

    “Do what?” Logan mumbles but doesn’t move otherwise, seemingly content to squish Wade into the mattress.

    “The smelling thing, you know a wolverine is not a wolf right?"

    Summary

    Martin scrunches his nose up. “M-maybe don’t, uh. Don’t poke at your knife wounds?”

    Jon’s eyes slip back to him, and then, miraculously, they soften, his face smoothing out as he actually huffs out a quiet laugh, lips ticking upwards. “Sound advice, thank you, Martin.”

    This time, when Martin smiles, it’s real. “Always happy to help.”

    Jon’s smile falls, but not… not in a sad way? Martin sees something genuine and honey-sweet spark in his dark, lamp-lit eyes, and thinks they might be talking about more than just a joke, now. “I… I appreciate it. Really.”

    “I really am glad to help,” Martin tells him, his own voice going soft around the edges. “I just…” What can he even say? That he just wants Jon to be okay? That he’s been so worried it keeps him up at night, tossing and turning as icy fear grips him so tight it feels like his ribcage is constricting inside his chest? “A-anything I can do.”

    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

    Martin gnaws his lower lip. “Do you think he’ll - I mean, do you think it’ll be…”

    Melanie's smile becomes a little less of a grimace. She claps his shoulder. “Martin. It’ll be fine. It’s only temporary. He’s not moving in.”

    Martin chuckles. “Yes. Of course.”

    Summary

    Jon didn’t know how to stand, didn’t know how to occupy the same space as this man, it had just been so long. Even before Lukas, how much time had they spent alone together? What did he even know about Martin? What did he even like about Martin? A coach-ride conversation about music taste hardly made up for the four years he hadn’t cared to learn.

    Basically a lot of Jon adoring Martin and having no idea how to say so. Another Scottish cabin fic, ur welcome

    Summary

    "I missed this," Jon found himself saying. And then, because it didn't seem like enough, "I missed you."

    I missed me as well, said Martin's face as he tugged at the teabag he was holding, again, and again, and again. He didn't look up to reply. "There wasn't a lot to miss, near the end."

    "Well, I still did."

    Summary

    Martin had been baffled by how easily he spilled his guts out to this odd stranger. Now, Martin is more baffled by the baggy My Chemical Romance t-shirt he's wearing, paired with tasteful plaid pajama bottoms.

    Or, Martin gets a visitor in his dreams. Reliving the same 14 days of loneliness every night isn't as bad when you have company.

    Summary

    “Do you know much about cataloguing?” Jon asks, a little out of breath from the stairs.

    Martin, mid-trolley, rolls his eyes. The gesture he makes at the shelves around him is only emphasised by the book he’s holding.

    “What exactly do you think I do here, other than sit around and wait for angry patrons to yell at me?”

    “Think of what you’re going to yell back?” Jon says, and Martin’s mouth twitches into a smile.

    -

    Asking the very important question: what if Jon and Martin had a gentle archives/library romance, and kept running into tropes? What if there was mutual pining involved? Only one bed? Fake dating? Hurt/comfort? Or perhaps, a soft and happy ending?

    “Have we met before?” the other man says, scrutinising him closely. “You’re from here? From London? Where?”

    “Firstly,” Martin tells him, ticking off his fingers, “no, I’m not. Secondly, fuck off am I telling a stranger where I live. I have lived in London long enough to pick up that much, at least. Thirdly, who are you? And how do I know you?”

    “I—“ the man says, frowning. “I don’t know either. But I know you.”

    -

    Somewhere else, through a train window, Martin spots a familiar face.

    Summary

    After a second Jon steps in towards him, close enough that Martin flinches, but all Jon does is put two fingers under his chin with his free hand and raise it until Martin can’t duck away. Jon has never touched him so casually before – at least, not until today, and it raises a lot of thoughts and feelings that Martin is trying very hard not to process.

    Much like a lot of other things that have happened, he thinks. Not that it’s horrible or terrifying or numbing like everything else has been: it’s just another thing on the list of things he doesn’t have the capacity to deal with.

    ---

    In the wake of the Lonely, there's a lot that Martin doesn't really want to think about.

    Summary

    They’re standing entirely too close to each other in front of the hotel desk when the clerk asks them whether they’d like a double, twin, or two singles, and Martin absolutely bottles it.

    ‘Uh,’ he says, at exactly the same time as Jon says, ‘Oh.’

    ———

    There’s a conversation that Martin and Jon need to have after the Lonely. Unfortunately, they are - historically - fairly terrible at putting stuff into words.
