Summary
The love was there. It wasn't enough to save Jonathan Sims and Martin Blackwood, or revert their world, or prevent their tragedy. Nonetheless, it was there, and it has a much further-reaching influence than one might expect.
(Basically, Jonmartin and the Fears do not make the journey between somewheres in one piece, but those many pieces get a whole lot of mileage and make all the difference).

Summary
Letters-in-a-bottle are romantic, but impractical. They rarely find someone to read them, much less the intended recipient. Especially when there's no recipient in mind. Sometimes, though, people manage to start up a correspondence in the strangest of circumstances.
or
Martin is a fisherman. Jon is a fish. It's a forbidden romance for the ages.

Summary
“...Sure,” Martin replied glumly. He wondered if this is how all those french people felt, back in the days of guillotines. “Huh— How do you think I should introduce myself to this Archivist, anyway? They are going to be my boss, technically speaking, so I suppose I can at least try to make a good first impression…?”
The look Tim and Sasha shared was… Certainly something.
“I don’t think introductions will really be required,” she said, delicately.
“Right. Ok. Sure. Do you know what their name is? I ought to at least know that, right?” Martin pressed on, voice tinted by desperation. “Mr. Bouchard wouldn’t say—”
Again with the look. Martin was going to scream.
“Don’t you worry about that, bud,” Tim said with a very forced, nervous little grin. “The Archivist is just The Archivist. Just get in there and… Godspeed?”
----
Moved by desperation, Martin accepts a job he's perfectly aware is bad news, but maybe... It won't be as such for long.

Summary
Jon doesn’t do roller coasters.
It’s not because Jon doesn’t like roller coasters. It’s probably more accurate to say that roller coasters don’t like him. Specifically, his sense of equilibrium and his digestive system.
The fact that he is currently standing in the queue for a particularly large and particularly frightening-looking roller coaster is not, therefore, due to his overwhelming love for them. It is instead entirely due to his overwhelming love for the man standing next to him, eyes bright and excited.
