Summary
“Jonah Magnus.” The cloudy silhouette snarled as it’s hand clamped tightly around Jonah's ascot. That was indeed his name, but Jonah couldn’t begin to fathom what he did to have it spat out with such hatred.
But nonetheless, Jonah was a gentleman and he would kindly address the angry figure as politely as possible, “Yes, and you are?”
“What?” The form spluttered as it slowly came into focus. Ah, yes. That probably wasn’t the proper response to being held at gunpoint by a random stranger. Must have been the blow to his head.
(Or in which Jonathan Sims goes back in time and tries to pull a Terminator, but fails and Jonah Magnus finds a new mystery to solve.)

Summary
Tim’s hand is cool, too cool, too unyielding and inhuman. His fingers don’t flex right. The angle of his wrist is wrong. He’s cold, hard angles, like plastic beneath Jon’s sweating palm.
aka the Stranger puts Tim's pieces back together, and mannequin puppet Tim is Very Happy to pull the strings

Summary
'You know, Tim, some warning would have been just as well,' Elias says, and he sounds frustratingly, irritatingly cool and collected. 'I thought you might be coming up here to kill me.'
'People try that often, do they? I can't imagine why,' Tim says sarcastically, and yanks the collar of Elias's shirt so he can press his teeth into the vulnerable skin there. Elias makes another small – very small – sound.
'Melanie is making preparations to poison my tea as we speak,' he says. If you know what you're listening for, his voice is just the tiniest bit more breathless than before, and the triumph of it tastes like sweetness and Elias's expensive cologne against Tim's tongue.
'Good for her!' Tim says brightly. ‘I hope she succeeds.’

Or, the TimElias Season 3 enemies with benefits to lovers fix-it fic that nobody asked for, featuring Elias's redemption, Tim beginning to heal, Jon and Martin being their adorable selves, and Basira being tired of all this shit.

Summary
"My name's Tim Stoker if that helps."
He flashed a wide grin, his teeth shiny against his tanned skin, and held out an expectant palm.
"Are you sure?"
"Well, last time I checked I'm still Timothy Stoker."
"No– not about that." Jon huffed out an irritated sigh, and took in a drag from his still smoldering cigarette. "About the lighter."

Summary
It had made him feel sufficiently shitty, he thought, as he typed out a professional acceptance note on his phone. Dejected, he accepted the shitty, horrible, fucked up offer because he was broke, and because he was broken.
He dragged his leaden limbs to bed, and worried. He had a weekend to prepare for his first week working at, not for, The Magnus Institute.
