    Summary

    Martin stood as well, “I’m still making you watch Bake-Off.” 

    “After all the nice things I just said?” 

    They strode across the cafè, “Yeah.” Martin playfully knocked against Jon’s arm, “I make all my friends watch Bake-Off.” 

     

    Or: A collection of times when Jon and Martin were very much not on a date.

    Summary

    SPOILERS FOR MAG 160

    'He is the Archivist, but he tells himself that he is still called Jon. “I am still myself,” he insists, “and that will not change.” Perhaps he is right. Only he can know. He is still Jon, after all, in some senses. He has his body. He talks with his tongue. He remembers being Jon, and so perhaps he still is.

    Let’s call him Jon, for a minute.

    Jon wants so, so desperately to be afraid.'

    Martin tries to comfort Jon in the new world that he has created. Loving him is difficult, but that's never stopped him before.

    Summary

    Jon had never been a good sleeper. Insomnia had chased him ever since childhood, when he would stare unblinkingly at his dark room, too scared to let his head touch his pillow. But sleep couldn't be avoided forever and eventually, he would drift off.

    Summary

    "There was a shift in Jon’s mind. An evaluation, followed by a consideration, ultimately leading to a decision and an offer. Those thoughts that he knew were not his own swiftly returned, hopeful for a response.

     

    The Eye, dissatisfied and merciless, wished to make a deal with him."

    Summary

    Martin returns soon with the weighted blanket and drapes it over both of them. He puts an arm around Jon and Jon leans against his side, his head resting on Martin’s shoulder. He’s beginning to feel almost relaxed when the Beholding provides him with a new piece of information.

    The man who owned the cabin before Daisy died on this sofa, and it took five weeks of rotting for his body to be discovered.

    ***

    In Scotland, the Beholding attempts to force Jon into taking live statements by overwhelming him with unwanted Knowledge. Martin is there for him.

    Summary

    Here are a few facts: Jon is hungry. He needs to feed on someone's fear. Martin has plenty. Jon doesn't want to hurt Martin. He doesn't know how much longer he'll be able to resist.

    He needs a plan.

    Or, the one where sex-repulsed Jon considers using his own fear of sex to feed the Eye, and Martin isn't about to let that happen.

    Summary

    "Right." Martin lays his head on his shoulder, glancing up like he's waiting for Jon to chastise him. Jon gently moves the stark white streak of hair away from his eyes, Martin brightens, "No monsters in Scotland."

    Jon blinks, focus drifting, "Y-Yes." the woman catches him staring, she smells so much of mold and rot and he can practically see the outline of her statement like a blazing constellation. They both look away, "No monsters in Scotland."

    Summary

    The harmless crush hadn’t taken Martin by surprise. At all. He knows his own weaknesses, and the day he’d first set eyes on Jon, he’d seen every last one of them glaring back at him. But as he steps into the pub on the unremarkable Thursday night on which he will fall in love, he’s thinking about fate.

    Jon, on the other hand, is thinking about how soon he can reasonably leave the pub.

    The next four years? An exercise in bad timing.

    Summary

    Jon thinks, clearly, that’s your question answered, you can leave now, and then doesn’t say it. It doesn’t make sense, but he feels fractionally more human: still awful, but it’s a little easier, now, to ignore the feeling of something pressing on him through the skin of the world. Maybe that dread can’t coexist with something as thoroughly normal as being irritated with Martin—

    “I could read it?”

    ---

    Martin helps out reading statements, for reasons he won't explain. Jon has never been able to resist pulling at loose threads. The Eye witnesses, as usual.

    (Set after MAG94, and mostly written right after listening to that part; therefore there are a couple of accidental collisions with things that happen later in canon, despite my best efforts, mostly because I *somehow* underestimated how dense Jon is about some things.)

    Summary

    ”How do you do it? How do you… find someone?”

    Jon blinks slowly at him. His eyes are very dark. He reminds Martin of a tiger he’d seen in the zoo once, sated for now but never safe.

    “It’s like… an instinct. You’ll just know.”

     

    Martin makes his first offering to the Lonely.

    Summary

    In hindsight, knowing his boss was freshly turned was rather funny.

    Imagining a stumbling, confused, freshly turned vampire barely keeping himself together scolding him of all people was hilarious. Not that Martin could blame the man, he hadn't taken to the news of his turning well either. Didn’t mean he had to be such a dick though.

    Now with a second chapter!
