Summary
Gerry knew ‘love at first sight’ was bullshit. Love took time, it took work, it took a hell of a lot more than a glance. But the moment he and his daemon laid eyes on his soon-to-be best friend, there was familiarity. The love came later.
Love was the beat of a raven’s wing, the curve of a vulture’s beak, feathers mingled on the floor, the touch of a fated hand. It all comes out after a disastrous Leitner hunting trip.

Summary
Jon thought that the Circus had him for about two and a half weeks before Gerry found him. Two and a half weeks tied to that chair at the mercy of Nikola, unable to escape, unable to stop her from treating him like another doll in her collection. In a way she got what she wanted—Jon had never felt more like a stranger in his own skin.
After two and a half weeks Gerry found him, took him home, peeled him an orange, and reminded him what gentleness is. The peel of an orange beneath fingernails speaks a thousand words. Healing won’t come easy, but it will come, and Gerry will be right there beside him.
[This fic is rated M for depictions of sexual assault. The assault is Nikola moisturizing Jon. NO explicit content/sex is in this fic. Please read my author’s note for more details of the CWs!!]

Summary
This isn’t a democracy. Jon steals the Watcher’s Crown, driving the knife into the heart of Jonah Magnus until it stops blinking. This isn’t up to a vote. Gerry steals the Web’s Lighter, smokes his last cigarette at the end of the world, and barricades the door. The Fears are going to die. They are going to starve. The Web shrivels and unravels. The Pupil of Eye and its beloved Priest wait it out in the Panopticon. Together.

Summary
When it came down to it, the only real requirement for working at the Magnus Institute was that you had to be nosy. Apparently, Jon has a secret partner and the Archival Assistants are invested.
Glimpses of Jon and Gerry’s relationship through the eyes of Jon’s mostly well-meaning coworkers.
