Jon,
I can’t expect this finds you well, but I hope it finds you well enough.

Summary
It’s just dysphoria, he admits, against his better judgment.
Tim’s typing bubbles take a minute to appear.
Dysphoria’s a bitch, he says. Remember we’re more than corporeal. And it’s okay to struggle.
Martin’s struggling with dysphoria. Jon and Tim intervene.

Summary
Watching Jon in the moonlight, he tries not to think of the amount of times he thought he’d seen Jon in the Lonely, only to realize that no, he wasn’t even conscious, when his luminous figure at the doorway to Martin’s office would vanish before Martin could call out to him.
Over and over it had happened, until Martin hadn’t even reacted when Jon really was standing there, at long last. Waif-like and weak and swaying on his feet, eyes shining unearthly green, he’d come for Martin, on what seemed like willpower alone, and maybe even divinity.
Martin had only realized it was real when the soft, worn-in sleeve of Jon’s cardigan had brushed his forearm.
And the touch had nearly made him vomit.
Martin isn’t good at letting himself be taken care of. Jon does anyway.

Summary
It’s the safehouse. Not their home.
But gods, sometimes Martin will bring back a candle or a soft blanket from the thrift shop or a fresh stack of books from the library, and Jon dreams.
Martin is still struggling with the Lonely. Jon needs him more than he knows. A short little vignette from the safehouse.

Summary
He’s still wearing his binder. He always wears his binder.
But there’s a swell to his chest that makes his hands itch to pull another one over it, just to see if that flattens him, properly.
It used to be so much easier.
Jon’s gaining weight, with Martin’s help. Problem is, his chest is bigger. Dysphoria’s a bitch and they deal with it together, as they deal with everything.

Summary
“Had to pick someone else up,” Tim announces as he enters Jon’s field of vision, dragging a soft-looking boy with blond curly hair by the hand. “This is Martin. You should kiss.”
“Tim,” Jon snaps.
Martin turns bright red.
Jon is an exhausted pre-med student dragged to a party, where he meets Martin Blackwood, a poetry major who turns out to be excellent at drunken cuddling. It would be perfect—if Jon hadn’t caught him making out with Tim, that is. Chaos, idiocy, and polyamorous pining ensue.

Summary
“He’s assigned me 491.”
Martin tries to steady his breathing, swinging the flashlight as he jogs, nearly slipping into a wall, stumbling upright again and continuing on even after his chest begins to burn and his legs start to ache.
Disposal. Disposal.
He’s two miles underground when the memory of Jon’s—491’s—face comes into his mind all at once, so strongly he can’t tell whether he’s getting close or whether he’s fooling himself. Strong cheekbones, a jaw too sharp, a thin neck, tan scarred skin.
He leans over against the wall, bracing himself up on his knees, struggling not to sob and struggling harder not to vomit.
Just don’t be gone. Please, let there be something left for me to find of you.
Martin Blackwood is a double agent working for Tim Stoker of MI6, and Elias Bouchard, owner of a private medical testing facility. Subject 491 is nothing like the others.

Summary
“Alright, love?” whispers Martin gently, squeezing softly at his waist and making him shudder.
“Mmm. Yes,” Jon manages. “More?”
Jon likes a little pain.

Summary
“I told you, you need to go home,” Martin says. Jon bristles.
“No,” he says shortly. Martin gives him a withering look.
He’ll give up, because they all do. Even Georgie. He’ll give up, just like everyone else who’s ever cared about Jon. Jon waits with bated breath for the anger, the defeat.
Martin doesn’t cave.
Jonathan Sims is hard to love. Martin is more than up to the task.

Summary
Jon heads back to the clinic for testosterone. Martin helps him manage the changes.
(An ode to transness and asexuality, in honor of getting back on T.)

Summary
Usually he just walks past the shop on his path back to Georgie’s, but today a series of frustrating dreams had pulled him inside. He’s never been an easy nut to crack—not even for himself—and he’s exhausted from the long, sleepless hours following the latest installment in what’s lately become a trilogy of annoyance.
Jon experiments with a new toy, following a series of dreams he can’t shake.

Summary
“Oh, Jon,” Martin huffs out, his hand drawn in as if by magnetism. He stops, glancing up at Jon’s face, flushed, his eyes hazy, watching him. “May I?”
Jon swallows hard, nodding, not trusting his voice.
Jon has a piercing. Martin indulges.

Summary
“Tim,” Martin says one day, as abruptly as the lurching commuter train he takes to work each morning, “Does Jon—“ he cuts himself off, groping for a way to phrase the question that won’t seem utterly absurd; Tim stops, hand on the doorknob of the break room.
“Does Jon what?”
Martin tries not to fuss with his cuticles, the bowl of pasta salad in his hands suddenly unappetizing. “Does he eat?”
Jon’s far too old for this, and he knows it.
(Jon isn’t taking care of himself. Martin notices, and does his damnedest to help.)
