Summary
As if being kidnapped by the Circus or being threatened by the Distortion wasn't bad enough, now Jon had to deal with a new consciousness waking up in his head. Or perhaps it's not his head at all.
Jonny DID NOT agree to Raphaella's little experiment. So he's most certainly not happy about waking and realizing he's sharing his body with some nerd.

Summary
How is it that something actually thoughtful was considered so much less valuable than a touch. Jon just didn’t understand.
And then he met Martin. With Martin, there was never any expectation about physical affection, it was just so comfortable. Martins hugs weren’t instead other forms of affection, they just seemed like a natural extension of it. With Martin, Jon was able to understand the phrase ‘give a hug’. Because Martin truly did give a hug. It was never because he wanted to get some kind of affection in return, it seemed that he simply wanted to be close to Jon. And Jon wanted to be close to him.
-OR-
Pretty much an exploration of Jon figuring out that he does like physical affection, but only when it’s no strings attached with his beloved Martin.

Summary
It was love at first sight. There was no other explanation for the way Jon had just made a fool of himself in that classroom.
...
"I'm an idiot," Jon sighed to himself, looking down at his hands. "Why would I do that?" He winced as he thought about how he had just sat down next to Martin but to be fair he hadn't even realized he was moving. He had sprawled out next to the other man to look closer at his hand, completely forgetting everything he knew about personal space and spoken without thinking about it. At least he hadn't done something more stupid and asked for his hand in marriage or something equally forward as that.Bookmarked by Shyranae

Summary
“...Sure,” Martin replied glumly. He wondered if this is how all those french people felt, back in the days of guillotines. “Huh— How do you think I should introduce myself to this Archivist, anyway? They are going to be my boss, technically speaking, so I suppose I can at least try to make a good first impression…?”
The look Tim and Sasha shared was… Certainly something.
“I don’t think introductions will really be required,” she said, delicately.
“Right. Ok. Sure. Do you know what their name is? I ought to at least know that, right?” Martin pressed on, voice tinted by desperation. “Mr. Bouchard wouldn’t say—”
Again with the look. Martin was going to scream.
“Don’t you worry about that, bud,” Tim said with a very forced, nervous little grin. “The Archivist is just The Archivist. Just get in there and… Godspeed?”
----
Moved by desperation, Martin accepts a job he's perfectly aware is bad news, but maybe... It won't be as such for long.
