Summary
“I could wear that,” Jon said, idly, because he could, the clothes themselves had never bothered him. The dresses reminded him of old photographs of his grandmother as a young woman, though it was men in these photos, with slicked-back hair and shy, pleased smiles to go with their swing dresses.
“I would die,” Martin said, almost too honest, and Jon couldn't help but crack a smile. “It's, well. It's a bit more than that though I think? I just like the whole. God.” He covered his face with his free hand. “It's like a whole housewife thing, where you're—dressing up like that and tending to me, and look, I know how it sounds--” He broke off and shot a glance at Jon, who was entirely failing to hide the way his smile was widening. “Oh, don't start.”

Summary
Hamid Saleh Haroun al Tahan is not the most frustrating person Grizzop has ever met.
It is, in fairness, a title with stiff competition. There have been a number of people who he has met while traveling with Hamid that are ranked significantly higher: the cult of Mars, collectively, Bertie, in the few days they had, Oscar Wilde, in essentially every moment when Grizzop has to directly interact with him. Eva spent a non-insignificant portion of time at number one, but then, he frustrates her too; it's not an effective mentorship relationship if you never want to throttle each other.
Hamid is more complicated than that, on the whole. He is many things: possessed of one of the most exasperatingly wobbly moral compasses Grizzop has encountered in anyone he's willing to spend significant amounts of time with, comfortingly short, full of far more power than he knows what to do with in a responsible manner, and pretty. Very pretty. Annoyingly pretty. A significant portion of the placement of Hamid on the list at all is the combination of said moral compass and his unfairly perfect hair and sharp cheekbones.

Summary
Martin helps him tip his head back, his back to Martin's front. The two of them look up to the sky in frozen silence, not even breathing, the sound of the wind whistling through the trees the only sound in the clearing. The stars are wrong. Jon knows the stars, Knows the shape and age of each one, and there is not a single constellation above him that he recognizes.
“Oh, god,” Jon says, his eyes gone wide. The weight of everything crushing down upon him at once. They are in another universe, and they have brought hell with them. Jonah Magnus is dead, and will never find them again. Everyone they have ever known is gone, and will never find them again.

how the earth reclaims by fatal_drum, TwoDrunkenCelestials

Summary
It is Jon, but not like Martin has ever seen him. His eyes are wide and dark, almost black, drinking in what little light remains, while his hair is snarled around his face, tangled with stones and roots. There are smears of dark earth on his face, his hands, under his nails. He looks wild and unfamiliar, but he’s alive, and that’s what matters to Martin.

Summary
"Well, yeah, but there's nothing wrong with how you look." Martin says it casually, almost reflexively, like the thought came so naturally to him that putting it into words required no effort at all. There's a long, unpleasant pause.
"...Martin."
"Shit, sorry, that was so not the right way to say that-"

Summary
Martin busied himself with his tea while Jon tried to merge with the furniture. They were talking about this, at least, which was a massive improvement over the past five months of … not talking about it. They were trying to do this like adults. Even if Martin had no idea what to say.
