    Summary

    It’s past 9 P.M., so the floor isn’t too crowded with other guests, and as luck would have it, his favorite receptionist is on night shift this week.

    “Mister Josten, how can we help you today?” He does a double take when he sees how nervous Neil is acting. “What’s wrong?”

    Neil clears his throat. “There is a bug in my room.”

    Andrew blinks. “Okay.” Then, after a short silence, “Is it a particularly large bug, or—”

    “It’s a cockroach.”

    “Oh,” Andrew says. “Shit.”

    Summary

    For Andrew, the only downside of being blind is that he can't post his secret poems anymore, but it's just for 100 days, so he can live with that. He doesn't need help at all.

    For Neil, life is as good as it can be, but when he finds a discarded ad to help a blind boy to type on his computer, Neil will jump at the opportunity of having a normal meeting; for the first time in forever, no one will stare down at him before talking. Of course, he doesn't imagine that meeting Blind Boy will be anything but normal.

    What Andrew doesn't imagine is that with a little help, life can have colors even if his world remains black.

    Summary

    Neil’s mother had refused to allow him to pick up an instrument on the run. She’d never told him that she was trying to save him from himself, but here Neil was, years later, playing music—and yet, he was still breathing. All at once, Neil was hit with a wave of sickening guilt and vicious triumph. I’m alive, Mom. I’m alive.

    Summary

    When Gerard Keay walks into the Magnus Institute - two years sooner than he was meant to - everything changes.

    This is an (eventual) Archivist Michael AU, exploring how certain events might have played out, had one key player been in the wrong place at the wrong time.
