    Summary

    Michael's eyes were wild, but they contained none of the flashing colors or headache-inducing patterns of before. Those colors had been replaced by grey irises which darted about, landing on Martin, on Jon, on the front door, back to Martin, back to Jon.

    When a supernatural headache leads to a very human former Distortion on the front porch, Jonathan Sims and Martin Blackwood decide to give the confused Michael Shelley a chance, allowing him to stay in their safehouse until they can figure out what to do with him. Michael gives being human again his best shot, despite the lingering effects of the Spiral.

    Summary

    The Fears still exist, the characters just work at a small university instead of at the Magnus Institute (which doesn't exist).

    Jon teaches 'Critical Thinking In Statements Submitted By The Public' and likes breaking into buildings for fun. He also fosters literally every single stray cat he ever finds while doing this. It's a lot
    Martin manages the library (a position he obtained through his resume of lies) and likes writing poetry. He's also a hopeless romantic who realistically belongs in a period romance where he can just be with the man he loves and live in domestic bliss forever. His fixation? Jonathan Sims.
    Gerry and Tim are professors by day and by night they're arsonists who burn Leitner books and anything remotely circus-themed
    Sasha teaches R (statistics software) and is everyone's go-to tech person
    Annabelle teaches drama and does a lot of things with puppets, who'd have thought?
    Daisy and Basira are cops who are working in this town with all the break-ins and burning buildings and books. So strange.
    Martin's mom is... well, Martin's mom.

    Summary

    Jon and Martin‘s conversations are nothing more than polite small talk in the teachers’ lounge. They don‘t have much else to say and generally avoid each other‘s presence.

    Until a staff member falls ill right before the school‘s trip to Florence, and Jon is forced to tag along.

    5 days in the heart of the Renaissance: Grading papers, running through museums, and trying to put a name to this weird tension between them.

    Summary

    Alright,” Martin said completely normally, completely professionally, because really who hadn't pulled an evil, paranormal worm out of their shirtless boss's shoulder—the boss whom you just happened to have a crush on? And did Jon have a tattoo on his shoulder?
