Summary
Martin spends an awkward few seconds trying to figure out how to gracefully phrase what he wants. And then, like a lunatic, what he actually says is, "I can't get pregnant. Just...just so you know."
It's true. He has the medical records to prove it.
Jon goes very still. "Ah," he says, in a wondering tone. "I see."

Summary
“Do you know much about cataloguing?” Jon asks, a little out of breath from the stairs.
Martin, mid-trolley, rolls his eyes. The gesture he makes at the shelves around him is only emphasised by the book he’s holding.
“What exactly do you think I do here, other than sit around and wait for angry patrons to yell at me?”
“Think of what you’re going to yell back?” Jon says, and Martin’s mouth twitches into a smile.

Asking the very important question: what if Jon and Martin had a gentle archives/library romance, and kept running into tropes? What if there was mutual pining involved? Only one bed? Fake dating? Hurt/comfort? Or perhaps, a soft and happy ending?

Summary
When Martin wakes, the first thing he feels is the warmth.
His body barely remembers what it's like; the sensation is toeing the line of simply feeling strange to him. Martin closes his eyes, and gives himself a moment to indulgently take it all in: how deeply the warmth seeped into him; how much of it there is just inside his own body; how much of it radiates from the still-asleep Jon.
God, Jon.
Martin's heart still doesn't seem fully equipped to handle this new reality he was thrust into the previous day, acting like it's teetering on the verge of palpitations - the reality in which he was torn out of the Lonely's grasp, in which his life was stubbornly pushed back into his hands. The reality in which he and Jon finally get to simply be together - to hold each other, to kiss, to say 'I love you'. The reality in which they ran away and ended up here.

Summary
Martin gets a closer look at the calendar, and his breath catches in his throat. He's gotten a look at the year, and it's wrong, it's all wrong. 2018. October, 2018. Right there, in Martin's own handwriting, on a Saturday, he's written things on little dates that Martin can't read, because he can't take his eyes off the year. 2018. 2018. They look differently. They have scars they don't recognize. Their hair is longer. 2018.
Martin seizes the calendar off the fridge and goes back into the living room. Jon's still at the coffee table, poking through the tapes piled there, but he looks up when Martin comes back in and says, "Martin, where…" with a familiar bite in his voice.
Martin ignores him, stops him mid-sentence to say, "Jon, what have you heard about time travel?"
---
Martin and Jon wake up two years in the future. It goes about as well as can be expected.

Summary
"The safe house is nice. It’s comfortable. There’s plenty for them to worry about, but it feels far away. Martin’s almost coming to enjoy himself here."
