Summary
God, it really is him. Fine, he'll admit it. He had some fleeting fantasies of meeting the boy who gave him the sea glass cradled around his necklace once again. The one who actually made him feel a little less lonely in the world. But this was a bit ridiculous. He spares a glance back at Jon to flash a reassuring smile, pretending like he's not gathering every detail about his face. Martin chides himself for not realizing earlier. Minus the grey in his hair and obvious signs of aging, Jon really hasn't changed much.
Except he got handsome.
His mind supplies and Martin suppresses a groan. Now was not the time to unearth the boyish crush he really thought died years ago.
AU where Martin is a selkie living in Bournemouth. Him and Jon met once as children and Jon gave Martin a rare piece of sea glass that he now wears as a necklace. Jon is a hydrologist and visits Bournemouth again for a research study and they meet all over again. Some canon-typical danger in a few chapters (will be tagged), but overall lots of fluff and pining in between <3 we are very slow to update but won't leave this fic unfinished!

Summary
In the light of his desk lamp, Martin can see the fine sheen of sweat clinging to his forehead and neck. “Sorry,” Jon apologizes, though he seems like he’s not sure what even he’s apologizing for. “I don’t know what’s wrong with me.” His fingers tremble lightly as he sips from his mug. That’s progress, at least. Jon doesn’t fight him anymore when Martin makes him tea, doesn’t force Martin into puppeteering him into drinking it — perhaps he’s finally accepted that it’s just tea, and not poison or spiders or...whatever he thought it was. Jon is a very paranoid man. Martin’s never found Beholding’s type to be particularly rational.
It’s almost endearing, when Jon acts like he has no idea what’s happening to him.
Martin reaches over and eases the mug from his hands to keep him from spilling it. “You’re hungry, Jon,” he says helpfully. “You need to eat.”It is simply in the Web's best interest that the Archivist remains well fed.

Summary
And he could leave it here. He could. He could smoke his cigarette in silence until he went back inside and returned to the whole mess of files he’d been attempting to organize spread across his office floor, and Martin wouldn’t push it. That’s something he likes about Martin. That’s a reason why he thinks he and Martin get along easier than a lot of other people he knows.
Jon clears his throat. “Do you ever— do people ever make assumptions about you based on some very limited piece of information, and they’re not exactly wrong but they’re also not not wrong, but you can’t correct them because you aren’t even supposed to know about this information in the first place?”If anyone asks, Jon doesn't smoke.
