    Summary

    After three weeks of nightmares, when Andrea is ready to snap, there is a change to the monotonous nightly terror: the eye-covered man is wearing a shirt with words.

    More accurately, the eye-covered man is wearing a shirt with hand written words. It reads “this is Elias Bouchard’s fault, he works at the Magnus Institute, office #160, sorry!”

     

    (Jon provides a little direction for some haunted statement givers)

    Summary

    They’re standing entirely too close to each other in front of the hotel desk when the clerk asks them whether they’d like a double, twin, or two singles, and Martin absolutely bottles it.

    ‘Uh,’ he says, at exactly the same time as Jon says, ‘Oh.’

    ———

    There’s a conversation that Martin and Jon need to have after the Lonely. Unfortunately, they are - historically - fairly terrible at putting stuff into words.

    Summary

    The knife goes in. The tower falls. When Jon opens his eyes, he is sitting in the uncomfortable chair in front of Elias Bouchard's desk, signing his employment contract as the Magnus Institute's newest researcher.

    He is alone in his memories of the future; his old friends might as well be worlds away. He demonstrably does not do well alone.

    Luckily, in the year 2011, he has options.

    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

    No,’ said Judge Roberta Field, over the top of her pasta salad.

    ‘Good afternoon, Your Honour,’ said Elias Bouchard. He smiled. It was a benign smile, like they always were. And yet it was the sort of smile that she knew brought horrors she couldn’t begin to anticipate.

    Her eyelid twitched. ‘I am retiring in three weeks,’ she hissed.

     

    ~

    Judge Roberta Field is retiring early. No more long days. No more screaming couples. No more family drama. Just a lovely cottage in Scotland. Life is going swimmingly.

    Unfortunately for her, her two least favourite regulars decide to stop by for one last hurrah.
