Arthur's entire body tensed under the restraint. "What—what's behind me?"
"I am."

Summary
In the light of his desk lamp, Martin can see the fine sheen of sweat clinging to his forehead and neck. “Sorry,” Jon apologizes, though he seems like he’s not sure what even he’s apologizing for. “I don’t know what’s wrong with me.” His fingers tremble lightly as he sips from his mug. That’s progress, at least. Jon doesn’t fight him anymore when Martin makes him tea, doesn’t force Martin into puppeteering him into drinking it — perhaps he’s finally accepted that it’s just tea, and not poison or spiders or...whatever he thought it was. Jon is a very paranoid man. Martin’s never found Beholding’s type to be particularly rational.
It’s almost endearing, when Jon acts like he has no idea what’s happening to him.
Martin reaches over and eases the mug from his hands to keep him from spilling it. “You’re hungry, Jon,” he says helpfully. “You need to eat.”It is simply in the Web's best interest that the Archivist remains well fed.

Summary
“Oh, don’t start with this alternate universe stuff again. It’s time travel—”
“—I’m sorry I’m ’pedantically splitting hairs about the very nature of our existence in this universe,’ Martin, but if I—”
Sam blinks, hard, as something trips that sense of deja vu again. The way he said that, even more stuffy and academic than before, sounds incredibly familiar.
“Wait a second,” Alice says abruptly, her voice pitching up. The strangers pause their bickering, turning to frown at her as a huge grin spreads across her face. “Are you Chester?”
—
Martin cuts the tether; two strangers appear out of nowhere in the OIAR break room.

Summary
All Jon wants is a quiet life, far away from Elias’ clutches - even if it means living in a drafty old cottage isolated from the next village. Jon is a mage, after all, and people are reasonable to fear both him and the patron who grants Jon his powers. But then there’s Tim, who greets Jon with nothing but kindness, and when Tim asks for help Jon finds himself unable to say no.
Together, they embark on a journey to find Tim’s missing brother. A journey that turns out to be more dangerous than they expected, and that leads Jon right back to the horrors he tried so long to escape. Thankfully, having a friend at his side might make all the difference.

Summary
Somewhere Else isn't right, and they've never talked about what happened in the Panopticon, but so what? They're together. The Fears aren’t gone, no, but behind a curtain, subdued.
Martin actually loves the small-village life, farming and friends and found family. Jon is... managing. They're making it work.
But the universe they landed in is occupied, and its current rulers are very interested in the new kids. Entities made of Fear, attached to a damaged ex-human and his surprisingly sneaky lover? Who could resist playing with that?
Everyone has plans, and plans under those plans. What happens when a web grows too heavy to support its own weight?
"Tears and blood, blood and tears," says Kayne.
He is not wrong.
Now with FANART! Ahh! It will be posted in the final chapter, because it's spoilerific, but ahh! Thank you, Pikachic!

Summary
Jon floated for a thousand years as the pupil of the Eye - by choice, after Martin's death undid him.
Now, he finds himself in a new, weird world - one in which many versions of the people he knew are trying to make a new life.
And who is behind this, apparently? Jurgen Leitner.
Jon barely feels like a person again, and doesn't know whom to trust. This is, perhaps, wise.

Summary
“Look, just—here, you can even take the cot, so you don’t have to go all the way home to sleep. Okay? Please just-just lie down?”
“No, Martin. Give it a rest.”
“Be reasonable!”
Finally, Jon huffed and spun around to look at Martin directly.
“And what if I don’t? What, you’re going to make me go to bed?”
“Well, I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve thought about picking you up and throwing you onto a bed just because I know I could, so may as well start now.”
--
AU where Jon’s Compulsion powers begin to come into play much, much earlier in the story—early enough that he has no idea what Compulsion is yet, or why everyone around him is suddenly being brutally candid with him. Neither does anyone else.

Summary
“This isn’t a fucking dream, Tim!” Her friend only laughs.
“Of course it is, Sasha. Because if this isn’t a dream, then Jon and Martin really stopped mid argument to make out with each other and hug like reunited lovers, and now our boss really is holding our other boss in place with magic word powers while sweet, loveable, clumsy, tea-making Martin brutally tears out his eyes with a fucking corkscrew.” He pauses. “Oh, and then began repeatedly stabbing him in the heart with a pocket knife.”
Sasha looks back over, and sure enough, Martin has discarded the gory corkscrew and tackled Elias to the ground, now plunging the knife into Elias’s chest.
“Oh, my god,” she breathes, and maybe Tim is right, because this really can’t be happening right now.

Summary
“Ah, Martin, you,” Jon says ever so eloquently, eyes now locked onto Martin’s chest with the air of a Victorian noblewoman stepping around a muddy peasant in the streets. “You.”
“Um,” replies Martin, who is calling out with so much distress because Jon won’t hear him so can say whatever he wants. I’m in pain, I’m being bullied, please be nice to me, I am so very upset.
“You are…in my office,” says Jon, slowly. “Why are you in my office?”
Nobody likes me, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, I’m being bullied, please be nice to me. “I…have a. There is…” Martin tries to explain himself out loud, with fully grown man words instead of just stupid subvocal calls. “So, um, you know how — how Jane Prentiss…”

Summary
In his two centuries as Head of the Magnus Institute and leader of the Cult of Beholding, Jonah has never encountered something like Jonathan Sims.
Jon really wishes he hadn't attended that lecture, or, failing that, he found it easier to dismiss his kidnappers' paranormal claims.
