    Summary

    Whatever he had predicted might happen, Jon wasn't expecting to survive upon demolishing the Panopticon. He certainly wasn't expecting to be rescued.

    Instead, he wakes up in an alternative universe where he's never been the Archivist, and Martin Blackwood doesn't exist.

    Martin Blackwood wakes up somewhere else entirely.

    Summary

    And for a second he can hear the door sing and it’s so jarring and nonsensical and, seemingly out of nothing, from it spills a man. Weak and shaky and holding onto the neon frame like he’s holding onto his damn dear life.

    “Can anyone tell me what year it is?” The man asks and then immediately collapses. The door closes behind him and then it’s just. Gone. Like it had never been there in the first place. Maybe it hadn’t.

    Tim shakes his head as if shaking off the door’s existence and then immediately exclaims in horror “is that Jon!?”

    Jon scoffs. “Well, Tim, seeing how I’m literally right here—”

    Summary

    Martin gathers blankets and pillows, the softest he can find; he arranges them on his couch as if making a nest and he doesn’t think about the small warm shape Jon’s body will leave behind him when he wakes, and he doesn’t think of Jon’s hair spread over cool white cotton like seaweed on an empty beach.

     

     

    *

    Jon has been evicted. Jon can't sleep. Jon can't let himself have nice things.

    Martin thinks he has a solution to all three problems.

    Summary

    The thing is, Jonathan Sims is someone you’d call the police on if you saw him hanging around a school, those frazzled clothes and bags under his eyes, the frantic muttering and thousand-year stare.
    Yet there he sits, headteacher of The Magnus Institute for Gifted Young Minds.
    The name’s a bit misleading, it is. They’re in a bad part of town. The parents are either terrible or absent, and the kids—
    “They’re monsters,” his new and handsome coworker grins, when Martin’s signature on his contract is barely dry. “Absolute monsters. Get too close and you’ll lose some fingers. Or maybe your mind.”
    “They’re babies,” is all Martin can feebly manage, in reply, and Tim’s eyes narrow at the fondness in his voice.
    “You’ll learn.”

    There’s just something so familiar about the new hire in the research department, but Martin can’t figure it out. It doesn’t help that he’s acting very strangely around Martin immediately after meeting him. Tim and Sasha decide to help, with a debatable measure of success.

    Summary

    When Jon lied to Basira about having a partner, he expected that to be the end of discussion. What he did not expect was an invitation to bring his partner along on a couples' retreat.

    When Martin is asked to be Jon's pretend boyfriend--ahem, partner--he expected to have a strange time. What he did not expect was to have possibly the most stressful weekend of his life.

    Summary

    Martin is a barista at a tea shop. Unfortunately he's developed a crush on a cute nerd who's name he doesn't even know. Luckily, he has a plan of action, or rather, his coworkers do. It mainly involves being increasingly obvious until there's no way he can be ignored. Surely this is going to work...

    (Rating is for occasional swearing.)

    Summary

    "Martin had never been given flowers before. Ever. Not even a boutonniere in high school. Not by a woman, not by a man, and certainly not from a man with piercing eyes and a voice that was pleasantly deep even when it was sharp with temper. Cheeks red as the flower he was being offered, Martin took it from Jonathan’s hand as carefully as if both were made of glass. "

    Martin runs into a grumpy florist one morning when his commute is interrupted by technical difficulties. When he's given a flower as repayment for a spilled cup of tea, he ends up finding himself unable to forget his run in with Jonathan Sims. (AKA, a JonMartin florist AU, where nothing is spooky and the biggest issue is Jon's lack of people skills. Just fluff! And yes I know the title is terrible but I had to do it)

    Summary

    Everybody is excited when Martin finally gets himself a date - everybody, except for Jon, who can not quite justify his apprehension over Martin's upcoming night out. Maybe it's just that he worries about his worst employee's work perfomance.
    He tries to be supportive, regardless.
    But still, shenanigans ensue.


    But it didn’t, not to Jon, at least. He simply couldn’t phantom what was the man's problem with kind, patient, attentive Martin who, even now, amidst the ruins of a promised date, was altogether too selfless to get properly angry with his pathetic excuse of a boss. 
    ...
    ‘Why are you apologising?’ Martin asked in disbelief.
    ‘Because I cocked up and because while you have every right to do so, I still don’t think I could stand if you began to hate me as well.’ he admitted with the kind of honesty that surprised even himself. He had no idea he’d felt this way; not until he said it out loud just know.

    Or that's what Martin thinks anyway.
