    Summary

    “It’s a preexisting condition,” Jon explains, sipping more bitter tea. “I sort of got—hm. You know Spiderman?”

    Tim raises an eyebrow.

    “Heard of him, yeah.”

    Jon nods, studying his tea.

    “It’s sort of like that,” he says. “A spider killed and ate me when I was a child, and now I can’t stay dead.”

    Summary

    To be perfectly clear, Jon wasn’t a prude. He didn’t look down on people because they had sex—it was a natural, biological instinct. He understood that judging such an instinct would be like judging someone for needing to urinate, or for menstruating. It wasn’t something he judged.

    However, it was something he didn’t fully understand.

    AKA Jonathan Sims grappling with asexuality throughout his life. As expected, the prickliest, most insecure man alive certainly deals with it in Interesting Ways.
    AKA AKA An Asexual authors candid writings on asexuality.

    Summary

    It was easier to treat Jon like a monster when he wasn’t shivering against his back, brokenly humming—wait, was that…

    “Are you trying to do ‘Hey, Jude’?” Tim demanded.

    Jon stopped, stiffening. “Mm hrmh mm mmh hm,” he said defensively.

    “You really can’t hold a tune, can you, boss?”

    *

    It was just an ordinary walk to a restaurant. Tim had insisted that if they were going to talk, there would be no tape recorders or weird Archives ghosts listening in. A bit of fresh air wouldn’t kill him, Tim had said. What could go wrong?

    By the time Jon spots the white delivery van, it’s much too late.

    The Stranger kidnaps Jon. Tim comes along for the ride.

    5 days in the heart of the Renaissance: Grading papers, running through museums, and trying to put a name to this weird tension between them.
