    Summary

    Whatever he had predicted might happen, Jon wasn't expecting to survive upon demolishing the Panopticon. He certainly wasn't expecting to be rescued.

    Instead, he wakes up in an alternative universe where he's never been the Archivist, and Martin Blackwood doesn't exist.

    Martin Blackwood wakes up somewhere else entirely.

    Summary

    “You’re really suggesting this,” Martin says, voice pulled thin.
    “Yes.” No hesitation.
    “You would- actually do it?”
    “I would.”
    “With me.”
    Yes, Martin.”
    “Why?” Because love is blind, says something cliché and cruel in the pit of his gut. Christ, he never was much of a poet, was he?

    Or,

    When Jon asks Martin to Quit the Archives with him, Martin says yes. Things don't go as planned. In the Scottish Highlands, they hurt, and they heal.

    Summary

    “They say lying down with your eyes closed can be restful, even if you don’t sleep,” Martin said, in that pointed way he does when he wants Jon to learn to take care of himself but doesn’t want to outright say it.

    “I know,” Jon said. He did not say that, if he lay down and closed his eyes, he likely wouldn’t have much trouble falling asleep at all.

    He just wouldn’t … stay asleep. Best to avoid that inevitability as long as possible, he’s decided.

    .

    Somewhere else, Jon is free of statement giver nightmares but plagued by new and horrible nightmares that are all his own, focused around his own traumas. The first time he wakes up, seven years after arriving somewhere else, and realizes he didn't dream the night before is, understandably, an emotional experience.
