    Summary

    The pen has a surprising weight to it when Jon takes it and signs the contract. A similar weight settles over his shoulders. A shiver goes up his spine and settles like butterfly wings beating at the inside of his ribs. This job is his. The Archives, all the knowledge in them, those are his. A deeper sort of greed settles into his chest, and he smiles at Elias with a bright, manic energy. The kiss Elias presses to his hand feels like a blessing.

    - What Belongs to the Sea, Gilded Edges

    Jon becomes Elias' Archivist. Elias decides a celebration is in order.

    Summary

    Tim half expects Jon to be embarrassed, but he just blinks up at him, still apparently in the dazed, barely conscious state of waking. Then he stretches, arms reaching over his head and back arching slightly. He makes an honest to goodness squeak as he does. Exactly like a little cat.
    Tim wants to kiss him.
    Oh. Tim wants to kiss him.
    So it hadn’t just been the alcohol last night, then.

    Summary

    “You can stay.” The voice interrupts his internal panic, and he looks over to find Jon studiously avoiding his gaze, staring hard at a neighboring bush. Martin wonders what caused his sudden change of heart. “But you have to sit on the other side. And don’t talk to me.”

    Jonathan Sims and Martin Blackwood meet as children. Some things change, others do not.

    Summary

    The stairs creak, and Martin freezes. Sasha has the decency to stop in her tracks and look up, eyes darting to the door. “That's not good.”
    “What's he even doing up here?” Other than coming to kill me, supplies Martin's mind helpfully. “I thought he was sorting through donation receipts today!”
    “One of us can distract him,” Sasha offers, and immediately sneezes. “Not me though. Allergy's a dead giveaway.”
    “I'm not legally allowed to move,” says Tim, making no move to dislodge either of the two kittens currently attached to him. “Sorry, Martin.”

    (In which Martin embarks on a hopeless quest to hide four cats and a monumental crush from his boss, Jon indulges his anarchist streak, and Tim and Sasha have no qualms encouraging shenanigans.)
