    Summary

    An angel is languishing beneath the Magnus Institute, and newly promoted Head Archivist Martin Blackwood doesn't need this on top of recovering from being besieged by spooky worms and discovering his predecessor was murdered. Especially because the angel knows his name, and seems to think they have a connection. Elias is hellbent on stressing how dangerous the strange man with wings is, but won't say why, and Martin isn't so sure. There's more going on under the surface of all this, and he's got an itch and a newfound hunger to uncover the truth.

    Surely Jon can't be *that* dangerous.... right?

    Summary

    Jon sets down the paper and shuts his eyes, listening to the gentle whir of the tape recorder.

    He can hear something else. A soft sizzling from the corner of the room, the faint crackle of a dying fire. He ignores it.

    “That one was boring.”
    _ _

    In which Tim sticks around after the Unknowing.

    Summary

    "What do you say, Daisy. You and me head down in the tunnels, hunter and hunted, and just have at. You catch me, you kill me like every other monster you've put down."

     

    "You catch me..."

     

    "I catch you, I rip the fear out of you like Jared ripped the bones out of me, until you're completely empty."

     

     

    Post MAG146- Jon's eating habits are being monitored. It doesn't go well.

    With every statement he takes in, he loses a little more of his humanity, until there's not much left at all.

    Summary

    Jonathan Sims is rather tired of being kidnapped but Martin Blackwood, a fully-realized Avatar of The Lonely, is a better host that most. True, he's an empty, washed-out version of a human, but piece by piece Jon manages to unearth someone worth knowing behind the isolation and the distance.

    Of course, there's the questions of why Martin kidnapped him in the first place, what The Lonely wants with The Archivist (or with The Archivist out of the way), why Elias Bouchard and Peter Lukas still seem to be working together despite that, and what The Web has to do with. Well. Everything.

    Other than that, though, Jon is as interested in Martin himself as he is in everything surrounding him. Which include the end of the world. A world that Jon's not completely convinced shouldn't end.
