    Summary

    “If you call me Vespa," the girl said, wrinkling her nose at the unfamiliar sound of the word. "What do I call you?”

    Cryptically, the woman’s face creased into amusement.

    “Well, lots of things. Mostly ‘Buddy’, though.”

    “You’re my buddy?”

    The woman’s smile wavered for just a moment - still kindly, but sad, too, for reasons the girl didn’t understand.

    “Yes, darling. I’m your Buddy.”

    *

    It's Vespa's turn to get "macguffined into a kid". Buddy is very, very gentle.

    Summary

    “We need each other, especially now,” Tim said solemnly. Martin just nodded. “Everything’s different, and it’s not gonna go back to how it was when we get back to work. And I, personally, don’t trust anyone else in that place but you guys.”

    “Right now, I just want to focus on us, not…the institute,” Martin said, brushing back Tim’s hair. He kissed his forehead, and Tim melted against the touch. “And this is pretty nice…”

    “Where do we go from here, then?” Jon asked, hesitant glances passing to each of them.

    “I say we go to Camelot,” Tim said.

    “I’d like to…” Sasha said sheepishly.

    “As would I…” Martin said.

    Jon took a deep breath, and he nodded slowly. “Camelot it is, then.”

    "The colloquial name is bloodstone," says the man from StrexCorp's Acquisitions division. "Heard of them?"

    Carlos shakes his head. "No, but I'm not a minerologist. Are you certain this wasn't intended for the geology department?"

    ~

    Carlos is a loyal company employee, who has never been to any place called Night Vale and never met anyone named Cecil…which doesn’t explain the mysterious woman appearing in his lab, or these dreams he’s started having…

    Summary

    There was always a time when supplies ran low or panels got dented beyond repair or somebody shot a hole through one of the fuel tanks. In those times, Nastya would sigh, put up a “0” on the “- Days Since Tomfoolery” sign, and go talk to Brian about the nearest suitable place to land.

    That sign hadn’t gotten above a “10” for as long as Nastya could remember. At least it saved on the amount of number signs that had to be made.

    Beyond the desert haze, a few minutes walk away from the landing site, was a town. Low-slung houses clustered around a marginally taller city center, though none of the buildings were particularly large or impressive even there. However, there was a large radio tower stuck smack-dab in the middle of town, and another on the far side of the settlement. Neither had any signs of disuse, and Nastya wondered at the necessity of having two separate towers for such a small community.

    Maybe there were a lot of radio enthusiasts about.

    Summary

    The red lights began moving without warning – resembling a hundred laser pointers, controlled by separate people but still eerily in sync – and they kept moving until they converged on Louie’s chest in a single red dot, like a target.

    “I don’t think Uncle Donald worries enough,” Louie said, in a choked sort of voice that he couldn’t hear over his own heartbeat.

    “Louie—” Huey’s frantic warning was cut off as the device beeped once – loudly – and the light on his chest abruptly turned blue.

    Then the machine exploded.

     
    Or,

     
    Louie goes to the lab one day to see the new invention that Huey's been excited about.

    Something goes wrong. Something goes really wrong.

    The note reads;

    ”Dearest Collector. I’d like to say something about tokens of goodwill, about trusting you more than I would trust myself, about toasting to future allies. All of it is true, of course—you seem much more competent than the last Collector—but I doubt our paths will ever cross more than they have now.

    The truth is this: You are the Collector, and therefore this package belongs with no one but you. I don’t recommend touching them.

    Tell the Archivist I said hi.

    Signed,
    Antonio Blake.”

    "Tim felt absolutely no shame about rigging the gift swap. After all, he told himself, what was power good for if not a little gentle mischief? The power was just over a regular office gift swap, of course, but the principle held."

    Elias decides the Archives need a team bonding activity. Over the years, it becomes a tradition.

    Summary

    Martin clings to Jon as they fall, clings to his bleeding lover as the roaring of the void and the screeching of the tapes drowns out any words either of them have. He clings to Jon and prays to whatever gods may exist that everything will end up alright.
    Then he collapses onto cold linoleum, stumbling into a harsh metal filing cabinet. The roaring and screeching is gone, and the harsh silence makes his ears ring... or maybe that's the head wound.

    When he finally opens his eyes, he isn't sure what he expected to see, but its not the middle of the archives with Sasha and his younger self staring back at him.

    Summary

    The part of Martin the Eye took, the part of him that thinks love is intimate and thorough knowledge of habits and scars and how sweet a person wants their tea, the part of him that read his mother’s journals desperate to see his name somewhere between all of the diagnoses and dark lines--it knows. It feels Jon, closer than ever before, like Martin’s holding him inside himself, somehow. The part of Martin that is the Eye is just replaced by--by Jon.

    The realization stops him, shuddering, for a brief moment, with love and warmth and belonging and--he could be at home in the Panopticon too, couldn’t he, with Jon at home in him, the two of them a Venn diagram turning into one circle, there’s no reason--fear.

    (Martin, at the end of all things)

    Summary

    Jon manages to keep himself from reading all of the Watcher’s Crown and then, somehow, he isn’t there anymore. He’s in the Archives, years earlier. He can fix everything before it starts, right?

    Wrong. He’s in Georgie’s flat. There’s still time to make things right, it’s not too late, surely?

    Wrong. The Archives, except that that’s not—is that Martin? That’s probably—

    Wrong. Scotland. Maybe this was all just a bad dream. Martin says it was all just a bad dream. Martin’s always so right, even if he’s acting off. Even if his hair is streaked with spiderweb.
