    Summary

    Jon sees too much of his old self in Martin, and he's sure that will get the man killed if he keeps poking around the supernatural. It's what happened to him after all—Jonathan Sims hasn't had a pulse in months. Not that it puts Martin off at all. He's as drawn to his sardonic new vampire acquaintance as he is rightly afraid of him.

    So begins a new working relationship that might turn into something more... if the nefarious forces of London and their own personal demons don't tear them apart first.

    Summary

    A study in the ripples of a single choice being made differently. In what it looks like when someone characterized by never being willing to push back is forced to fight. Someone characterized by isolation and trauma grows up safe and loved.

    Summary

    Undoing the apocalypse would have been enough for Jon, if all his people survived. Without them, Jon's only recourse is making it so it never happened in the first place. He's going to do better this time.

    Summary

    I've recently been unexpectedly promoted to lead a department in my organisation, wrote the anonymous emailer.

     

    As there was no one working here when I arrived, my manager, who is head of the organisation, had promised me the choice of my own assistants. However, without warning, he simply presented me with an additional assistant. This new assistant’s first act on his first day was to let a dog into the office. It took several hours to catch and clean up after this dog and it has only been downhill from there. I admit I'm not entirely sure what to do with this assistant now I'm stuck with him. I'm hoping you have some advice?

     

    Kind regards,
    New Manager

    Summary

    Maybe we’ll end up somewhere else.

    The Panopticon crumbles. Jon bleeds and bleeds and bleeds in Martin’s arms.

    There’s a feeling like nothing Martin is capable of describing; something beyond the scope of the language he as at his disposal. All he has is this: the world pulls itself apart around him.

    Something ends. Something starts again.

    Then Martin wakes up.

    Summary

    Gerard Keay didn't die in 2014. He kept on working for Gertrude, and eventually was officially hired as an archival assistant - and when she disappeared, he was inherited by the new Archivist.

    There is an avatar of the Eye in the Head of Institute's office, staring him down, warning him not to interfere. The world suspects him of his mother's murder. But the other archival assistants seem to have taken a shine to him anyway.

    Summary

    Jon burns Gerry's page the night before the Unknowing, but Beholding isn’t quite done with him yet. Instead of being released, Gerry ends up in Jon's head - and takes over his eyes. Now blind and powerless, Jon has no other choice but to trust Gerry as he guides them through everything from rituals to relationships. And although Jon is still determined to find a way to separate them and finally set Gerry free, he and Gerry grow ever closer along the way.

    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

    The moment Martin leaves the Lonely is the moment he realizes that it has taken something from him. He is left with the realization that the Lonely fog had been the only thing keeping him whole, keeping him from feeling the aching hollows of his own sorrow.

    Speaking makes it worse, so he doesn't. He almost expects Jon to leave, to grow tired of him, incomplete as he is. But Jon doesn't.

    Or, Martin is mute after leaving the Lonely, and he and Jon learn how to be people again, together, in the comfort of the Scottish Highlands.

    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

    The Eye isn't happy with how the end of the world turned out. Neither are Jonah and Jon. There is no other option but to rewind time and go down a different path. But time is hard for The Spiral and The Web likes to meddle.

    This is how Jon finds himself back in his eight year old body with all his memories, some of his powers intact and a strange bracelet around his right wrist. Saving the world, Jon realizes soon enough, is much harder when no one takes you seriously.

    Summary

    It was completely fine that Jon was following up on this very normal, non-supernatural statement at midnight on a Friday. He was going to find nothing at all, and then he was going to go home and sleep for fourteen straight hours and feel absolutely no qualms about moving case #0150409 directly into the filing cabinet marked "discredited."

    Or: Jon and Martin investigate Carlos Vittery's basement and find the entity formerly known as Jane Prentiss together.

    Summary

    “Are you sure about this?” Martin sobs, clutching him tightly.

    “No. But I love you.” If Jon can offer any assurance, it’s that. If Martin somehow survives this, at least he’ll never have to question if he was loved.

    “I love you too,” Martin whispers, and presses their lips together for a last kiss. Jon leans into it, then feels a burning pain in his chest.

    As the building collapses around and atop them, Jonathan Sims dies.

    .

    The happy ending is that they wake up Somewhere Else. The hard part is remembering how to live.
