    Want to grab dinner later? I know you're going to be working absurdly late anyway, and there's a new Italian place I've been wanting to try. — M
    Yes, that sounds nice. I'll try to be finished by 7:00. — J
    Oh, yes. God forbid you don't work absurdly late. ;) — M

    Summary

    "Oh, so you two know each other," Tim grins, clearly delighted by this development.

    With a lack of anything else to say, he falls back onto his default state.

    "Unfortunately," Jon replies drily.

    ---

    Jon's first day as Head Archivist starts with him being introduced to a new hire, Martin Blackwood - a man he hasn't seen in ten years.

    He's also his ex.

    It's a bit of a problem.

    Summary

    “God, I missed mum's kimchi,” Tim smiled. He popped the lid off the jar on the table and the smell hit Martin with enough force he had to turn his head. It was such a strong scent of pure spice that his eyes watered a bit. “She made a huge batch last weekend when my aunts came to visit. First time she's made any since… well, in a few years, anyway.”

    “What… what is it, exactly?” Martin asked with trepidation. He sat down near Tim and fought the urge to cover his nose with his hand.

    Tim's smile widened into a grin.

    Summary

    After successfully fleeing the Magnus Institute, Jon and Martin set up shop in Daisy's old safe house in Scotland.
    ...
    What? Were you expecting something bad to happen?
    All Jon has to do is make it a bit longer with no statements. That has absolutely never been a problem before. No problem!

     

    Alternatively,
    What if when they got to Scotland, Jon never reads Jonah's statement?

    Summary

    “Have you got anywhere to stay?” Jon asks him, briskly. “Friends, acquaintances, maybe, who you could stay with…?”

    Martin flushes, deeply. “I, I mean— n-no, not really,” he stammers, and then goes even redder. “Or, just, y’know not that I’d want to, to. Put in the middle of this. Put in danger of, of worms.”

    “Ah,” Jon says, “No, of course, that makes sense.” Why drag anyone else into this mess? Seven people died during Prentiss’s initial hospitalization; the collateral damage of roping someone from outside the Institute into her orbit doesn’t bare thinking about. “In that case…” Jon feels like there’s some alternative solution, one he’s just not thinking of at the moment, but it evades him, and Martin needs somewhere safe to stay. “My couch is quite comfortable. You’re welcome to come and stay with me until you figure something else out.”

     

    Martin is held hostage by Jane Prentiss for two weeks, and can't go back to his flat. Jon offers him a place to stay until Prentiss and her worms can be dealt with, and they can be sure he's safe.
