    Summary

    “Please,” Martin whispers into the fabric of Jon’s trousers. It doesn’t sound like he has much faith in his prayers anymore. Jon hates to be his malevolent god.

    “You know I’m not going to kill you,” he says.

    “I know,” Martin says, and he sounds so sad and defeated that for a moment Jon thinks he would do anything for him that he asked for. Anything at all.

    Summary

    Mr. Robert Gadling may be tolerably handsome, of an amiable disposition and in possession of a good fortune (for a tradesman), but is it enough to tempt Morpheus, the 14th Viscount Amaranth? Will the months Mr. Gadling is to spend at the Amaranth country mansion as a result of a wager between the Lord Amaranth and his elder sister allow the unlikely pair to develop a friendship—or, perhaps, even a forbidden attachment?

    A series of rousing events involving balls, duels, play readings and meddling suitors lie between the Amaranth household and their return to town come winter—events which may forever change the viscount’s opinion on the merits of life in the country and, more importantly, on the balance between duty and the pursuit of happiness.

    Summary

    Hob hadn’t planned to confess his immortality to anyone, but it had seemed the right thing to do at the time, and he turned out to be very grateful for it one day as he and his most knowledgeable student knelt on the floor of a classroom beside the smoldering body of a demon, trying to hold down a writhing, shapeshifting creature that usually masqueraded as Hob’s man-shaped lover.

    Summary

    When Martin arrived at college, what he expected was to finally escape from his abusive mother and maybe -if he was lucky- make some friends. What he didn't expect was to have to solve a murder with his stuck-up and mentally unstable roommate who's convinced that he has some sort of magical powers. In short, this isn't how Martin predicted his college life to go down.

    However, you would have to make pigs fly before he would even consider believing you he could ever develop feelings for this peculiar roommate.

    Summary

    When you tell people that you work as a janitor for an academic facility, most people hum and comment on how the monotony must make it a very straightforward position. And in most other places, surely it was. But not if the place you work is the Magnus Institute.

    Infamous for its urban legends or as a mockery of academia —depending on who you asked— the Magnus Institute was a looming figure in the eyes of the London people.

    And working there was. Just. Weird.

    Exploring the perspective of what the goings on of the Magnus Institute and events in the Archives might look like from the outside, especially without context.

    Summary

    Jon has never liked Martin, never understood him. He gets more sympathetic after Prentiss, but that's to be expected really.

    Martin doesn't really like Jon. He's mean for absolutely no reason, has it out for Martin specifically, and has the power to fire him. He's grateful for a place to stay while he's being stalked by worms, of course he is, but that doesn't mean he gets Jon at all.

    Then Martin gets shrunk and Jons the one to find him, and suddenly they're having to learn more about each other. Who could refuse to take care of someone so small, especially when you feels it's your fault they're like that? Who can help themself but to be happy at being cared for?

    Summary

    Jonathan Sims is deathly afraid of the world beyond the tower which he calls home. He also wants to see it with his own eyes more than he has ever wanted anything in his life.

    When a nervous, oddly charming stranger from the neighboring Kingdom of the Lonely breaks in, Jon strikes a deal with him. In exchange for information, the stranger, Martin Blackwood, will escort him to the Panopticon, where Jon has been strangely drawn his whole life.

    He only hopes he can make it there and back before Elias is any the wiser.

    Summary

    Together, they turned to stare at Harrington, who had hunched further into himself now that Eddie was gone from the table.

    “If he turns on us I’m blaming you.” Gareth grumbled finally, and tried not to let the smile that broke out on Eddie’s face effect him.

    “Glad to hear you’re on board, Garebear.” Eddie said, patting his shoulder hard.

    AKA the entirety of Hellfire, prompted by one Eddie, “herder of misfits, freaks and geeks” decide to expand their circle to adopt a jock instead.

    Summary

    When Martin visited the beachside cottage his mother left him in her will, he expected nothing but a conduit for his own grief. He did not expect to find an injured man clutching a seal-skin coat like a lifeline on the sand just outside, nor did he expect how quickly he would come to care for him.

    And he certainly never expected the danger he would bring.

    Summary

    Martin wrapped the dazed man in his coat and lifted him into a bridal carry, hugging Jon to his chest in hopes of warming him up.

    He wondered at how light and small he was. Martin remembered the force with which Jon had pulled him through the water; his larger than life, looming presence at dawn on the beach.

    Now he was just a frail, too cold bundle of limbs in Martin’s arms, bare legs cramping with painful looking spasms. Beside his shallow, straining breath, he had not made a sound.

    There was something very wrong with the man who had saved his life.

    ---

    Martin is a forlorn Victorian gentleman. Jon is the slightly too inquisitive Archivist of the Queen of the North Sea. Around them, an occult conspiracy is brewing involving humans and merfolk alike.

    Soon they are not only fighting to save each other, but also to avert the rise of dark powers beyond their comprehension…

    Summary

    Jon's not sure that the house on Hill Top Road will actually let him travel to another universe, but he and Martin are out of options in a world that can no longer return to normal. The plan had been to travel to 2010 and prevent their past selves from ever working at the Institute, but Jon's forced to make a new one after getting separated and ending up farther in the past than he'd expected.

    Jon's not sure who this scarred stranger is, but everything he'd been told by teachers or his grandmother is to stay away from people he doesn't know. It was kind of annoying actually, getting pestered constantly as though Jon were the perfect target for kidnappers. He might be six years old, but he wasn't stupid.

    Summary

    He’s heard the stories. He knows his mother wouldn’t take another step on land if she could help it, not anymore. It took a long time for him to feel comfortable walking alone on the beach without anticipating torches and pitchforks at his first footfall, skin-thieves and scoundrels looking to steal him away.

    Martin’s supposed to avoid humans, but he’s never been great at resisting temptation. In the aftermath of a dreadful storm, he finds himself and his sealskin coat trapped in the home of his mysterious human crush, Jon.

    Navigating treacherous waters of injury, confusion, and a budding relationship, Martin feels adrift — more like Jon than he knows — yet, together, in the most unexpected of places, with the most unexpected of people, they find themselves.
