    Summary

    It was plain, common decency.

    That was why Martin refused to listen to Jon’s statements, as he dragged the suffering out into the light, for the delectation of the Eye.

    That was why. Definitely.

    It wasn’t cowardice.

    Summary

    Sunlight doesn’t penetrate that far into the Earth—a few millimetres, at most. Underground, the world is totally different, cold and dark. Despite that, soil pressing down and smothering you from all directions can be comfortable, something akin to the hypnagogic haze.

    One year ago, Martin Blackwood disappeared. Now, it’s up to Jon to find him.

    Summary

    "Martin puttered, confused, toward Gertrude’s decrepit potted plant. Jon couldn’t bring himself to say anything else, resigning to his fate with a weak thumbs-up. Martin furrowed an eyebrow at this. His dawdling, unwanted accomplice in the business of misery swept up the trash bin in one hand and walked it over to Jon, placing it on his desk. He pushed his prize forward, with a not-insignificant amount of jazz handsiness. Jon felt any last dash of respect towards Martin die from prolonged famine. With a quickness, the archivist snatched the can, moved it to the floor, slunk to his knees, made eye contact with the most useless ass he’d ever met, and proceeded to scream out the contents of his stomach."

    A story about three horrible migraines and the miserable wretch who suffers through them.

    Summary

    Jon was never a brave man, and never had he been more scared than he was now. But perhaps, he could try to be brave, take the more daunting path. Perhaps he could save Martin by doing this, he could improve the apocalypse, ease the terror created.

    The Beholding reached out to him, and Jon reached back. And everything changed.

    Jonathan Sims, The Archivist, The Archive, is adored by The Eye.

    Summary

    The Pupil watched as The Anchor once again approached The Panopticon, as he ever so occasionally did - a visit, usually brief and strained, that usually ended in arguments and a heavy, desolate silence.

    It watched as he rose up the stairs, step by step by step.

    It watched as he approached it, knuckles white from the knife clenched in his trembling hand.

    A figure stood in the darkest corner of the room. A silhouette in the inky black, hunched over, twitching. Made visible only by its eyes. Red, burning bright, and fixed directly on him
    "...Jon?"

    Summary

    Martin's attempt to enact a rom-com trope backfires.

    An overdue conversation is had.

    ***

    “I asked what happened, when you came back,” Martin said, suppressing as best he could the panic-stricken, deeply unhelpful horror threatening to claw its way up his throat. “You were alright, you said you were alright.”

    Jon smiled flatly and stared at his hands, clasped in his lap.

    “You didn’t ask what happened. You asked if they hurt me.” He took in a shuddering breath. “They did not. In the service of preserving my precious skin.”

    Summary

    He sat on the edge of his bed, wings curled loosely behind him. They moved when he breathed - subtle, unconscious shifts, like how a hand might twitch when asleep. He could feel them in a way that was beyond just pain.

    They weren’t just attached.

    They were his.

    That's the worst part.

    Summary

    Jon wakes up alone, alive, in his office in 2016.
    When he finds Martin isn't beside him, didn't truly kill him, he decides to finish the job himself.

    .

    “I didn’t try to…” Jon started, on instinct, but ground to a halt as the room crashed in around him.

    He’d known. Of course he’d known what he was trying to do. But it wasn’t…it wasn’t just that. It wasn’t some breakdown. It was the end of the world and he’d felt it end with a knife lodged in his heart and Martin’s body growing cold against his own, the rubble of the panopticon crushing what was left of the both of them.
    No, no, that was too simple a phrase for it. It was so…common. So usual. Horrible, horrible, yes, and there had been years where all he’d wanted was to be able to truly say he’d tried to do it, proven himself for his suffering, but now?
    Now, in the face of everything he’d seen? It wasn’t killing himself. It was eviscerating a stain, wrenching blood out of fabric until it was spotless. It was pulling every horrible thing he’d done, or had failed to stop, into a concrete moment, an end point that he could control. And tying off that knot.

    He wasn’t killing himself. He was just finishing the job that had been left incomplete.
