“What was your last relationship like?”
“Uh,” Will says. “Intense.”
“Good intense or bad intense?”
“Yes,” Will says.
“You don’t have to talk about it if you don’t want,” Molly says, “but I just want you to know you can.”
In retrospect, this is a mistake.--
We usually assume that Will clammed up about his past when he was with Molly. But what if actually Will tells Molly way, way, way too much about his relationship with Hannibal?Or, the one where Will starts talking about his “ex" and doesn't stop.

Summary
I hope you find your new role as Head of the Institute as rewarding as captaining the Tundra, wrote Elias Bouchard, to Peter Lukas. There are so many people working there: all with their own interesting lives, and all desiring your attention and support. I'm sure you will relish the challenge it will bring and enjoy every moment spent with the fine men and women of the Institute. In time I'm confident they'll become like a family to you.
The Magnus Institute has a new boss.
The Magnus Institute also has a new tech support technician.

Summary
Peter and Elias adopt a fifteen-year-old Martin. It goes as well as you’d expect.
It sounds like he’s reading from a brochure, Martin thinks fleetingly, vaguely amused. These men – his new parents – do not seem like they know what they are doing.
“Peter,” Elias says dangerously. “Place in the family. Reaffirming.”
(Taking a last long look at the employee contract in his hand, Martin sighs. “Dad is so going to divorce you for this” He signs the papers with a sense of inevitability.)

The Lovecraftean Lovers of the Scottish Countryside by arthureameslove
Fandoms: The Magnus Archives (Podcast)
01 Mar 2022
Tags
Summary
There is a café down at the end of the road in a little town in the Scottish countryside, a meandering hour from the coast, that does not seem like much from the outside. The building itself is an old one, the lights and bright, cheery colors from inside not quite managing to disguise its age. The owners are...peculiar. English. Each a bit frightening, in their own way, on first glance.
But the café is never empty. The chill of the Scottish winds never manages to breach the doors. Not a single patron ever feels the sting of melancholy, even if they nurse a cuppa alone. They say the place is a cure for loneliness. They say if you tell the one with the scars about your nightmares, he'll take them from you.
And it certainly helps, they say, that the tea is never cold and the cakes are the best in the county.
All that, and you can forgive the other kinds of stories.

Summary
The thing is, Jonathan Sims is someone you’d call the police on if you saw him hanging around a school, those frazzled clothes and bags under his eyes, the frantic muttering and thousand-year stare.
Yet there he sits, headteacher of The Magnus Institute for Gifted Young Minds.
The name’s a bit misleading, it is. They’re in a bad part of town. The parents are either terrible or absent, and the kids—
“They’re monsters,” his new and handsome coworker grins, when Martin’s signature on his contract is barely dry. “Absolute monsters. Get too close and you’ll lose some fingers. Or maybe your mind.”
“They’re babies,” is all Martin can feebly manage, in reply, and Tim’s eyes narrow at the fondness in his voice.
“You’ll learn.” -

Summary
“Are you sure you’re not married?” Stede swallows.
Something is tickling the back of his mind, a memory or dawning realisation or the hangover exasperated by the flashing lights of Las Vegas spilling onto the dishevelled bed. Stede pulls at his left glove, alarm coiling in his gut.
Ed snorts in amusement. “Yeah I’m sure. I think I’d remember if I got hitched.”
“Would you?” Stede says shakily.
He holds his hand between them. Around his ring finger is a band matching Ed’s exactly. Brand new, without a single scratch on it, golden and lovely.

I (46M) am in love with my very straight housemate (45M) by WaitingToBeBroken

Summary

Summary
The first time it happens, Ed doesn’t say anything. It’s a normal day. Boring. Maybe he has a hangover, maybe it’s time to stop getting black-out drunk the night before work. But it’s been a while since he’s gotten into trouble for it. He doesn’t have as much to be angry about these days, not anymore. Depressed? Possibly. Feeling like he’s wasted his life? Oh, absolutely, that’s just a fact. He’s 45 years old and working in a dingy, dusty strip mall, living vicariously (at the moment) through a man in a $3000 bespoke suit taking a sledgehammer to a microwave.
PROMPT:

Summary
Mary thinks about eleven year old Stede, alone looking at flowers in the woods. She thinks about twelve year old Stede, hiding bruises from prying eyes. She thinks about eighteen year old Stede, diverting her father’s ire from her. She thinks about Stede that Christmas, tears in his eyes but a hard set to his shoulders. She thinks about twenty year old Stede, surrounded by friends that adore him more than he knows. She looks at Stede now, asking about love, and understands.
or:
Mary meets Stede Bonnet when she's eleven years old. It's all downhill from there, really.

“Well you’ve gone and fucked it up now, mate.”
“I beg your pardon?”
“Fuckin' beg then, man, it's just ocean for miles.” Ed motions out to the waves, where there is no sign of any sort of ship, their small dinghy pulled far up on the sand. “I told you when the clouds look like seagulls you take fuckin' cover. Goddamn ocean mutinied me.”
