Summary
"The dolls. How do they work? You said you would show me." He creeps to the edge of the workbench and leans on it with folded elbows, intently peering into the lens. Beneath it, through it, like a window into another place altogether, the clock gears are like glistening, bronze wagon wheels, huge and sharp and shining between the fingers gently coaxing the mechanism back together.
"Jon."
"Yes?"
"You're blocking the light."
----
Jon's godfather makes the finest clockwork dolls he's ever seen. Or are they something more?

Summary
There is a town on the bank of the river Mnemosyne - fertile, beautiful, happy.
There is a truth in the river - dark, fearful, alone.

Summary
Jon's desire to ask about the key has been sitting at the forefront of his thoughts like a neon sign, and any entertainment Elias might have been getting from his behaviour is dwindling. Every slammed cupboard inches him closer to remembering what a real, human headache feels like. Supper isn't even done cooking before he decides that not only is he going to indulge more of Jon's fantasies from the other night, but he's probably going to find himself meaning it, when he does. And if Jon doesn't just ask what he wants to ask, after that, Elias may just have to pry it out of him.
There's something Jon needs to ask Elias. In which Jon is a brat, Elias is fed up, one of Jon's fantasies comes true, and a canon conversation takes place at a... surprising time. | For Elias Week 2022 Day 1, "Favourite Canon Scene".

Summary
Jon is nothing if not dedicated to proving himself, to doing right.
***
"You're right, as usual," Jon replies, tugging down the zip on Elias's fly and palming over him before he swallows a mouthful of nerves and leans in to kiss the front of the other's trousers. It occurs to him that he doesn't know how much he's supposed to touch, or when - how much eagerness is too much, and how much is right. "You can always change your mind."

Summary
Jon wants to go outside.
He doesn’t remember outside, but he hears about it; listens to the whispered secrets of faded pages beneath his hands, traces the ink like they’re blades of grass beneath his toes. The walls of his room watch him, unseeing eyes with mouths full of dark, grey concrete. They say nothing, and he says nothing back.
Maybe it would have been better if he never got what he wanted.

Summary
Tim was right.
Maybe he hadn’t really made it out of the museum whole.
Maybe there was no more Jonathan Sims left to save.
-
Even though he survives the Unknowing, Tim can’t find it in himself to forgive his boss.
Lucky for him, Jon doesn’t forgive himself either.
When Jon makes amends in the only way he thinks will matter, Tim is left grappling with the shadow that remains.
Written for the Rusty Quill Big Bang 2022.

Summary
In the same instant, a wave of shock slaps him in the metaphysical face, vivid and immediate from his perch in Jon’s mind. Through those lovely eyes, now slightly blurred with tears, Elias can see –
That’s…
Oh.
Elias's future is looking bright, between his dalliance with the young researcher he's earmarked as his next archivist and a burgeoning hypothesis for a successful ritual. He's close to having everything he ever wanted. Of couse, this would be when something goes wrong.
