    Summary

    At their first holiday party together, the archival assistants play snog, marry, avoid. It brings up things Martin would rather it hadn't.

    5+1 kinda formula - going through the seasons with every office party this shitty institute throws. slow burn..... 5 parties they didn't and one they did you all know the drill. pining with a happy ending.

    Summary

    "On the back of Jon's tongue he could taste the number of freckles Martin had, like he'd known the exact number at one point and had uttered it before."

    Jon and Martin are each other's waiting room.

    Summary

    Then a man walks past him, he looks at him, and a swooping sensation in his gut says yes. It isn’t the vampire part of him. He’s just… really pretty. Really Martin’s type. Short and small, neat and well put together, tired and professional, with perfect posture and a quick, impatient stride. He looks like he works in an office. He looks about a decade older than Martin. He looks important, and dignified, and hot. In that very particular way that Martin’s always been into. 

    Not that… not that attractiveness should have anything to do with picking a meal. Oh, it sounds bad to call people meals. Victims? Even worse. 

    Martin should in fact not pick this man, specifically because of how attracted he is to him. It would be the responsible thing to do. 

    Except he’s already following him. And he’s hungry.

    Summary

    Martin is full of helpful, useful little suggestions like that. It used to grate, and now he doesn’t quite understand why. As soon as he’d started actually listening to those little suggestions, everything just… smoothed out. Martin only wants to help him. He’s a good coworker in that way.

    Martin has something important to tell Jon.

    Summary

    This is what had always been most treacherous about the Forsaken One--people are usually acclimated to its presence, long before they’re sacrificed to it. Loneliness isn’t the experience of finding yourself the only person in an empty room. Most of the time, people feel loneliness like a habit. Sometimes, there’s no reason for it all.
