    Summary

    Somewhere Else, there is a revelation, and a conversation, and a realisation that has been a long time coming.

    ***

    “God, of course it was burns, of course you got burned, it was an explosion for Christ’s sake, god how could I be so stupid –” he shoves his face into his hands, and groans loudly. Then he rips them away, as his eyes flash with further realisation. “That’s why you cover up all the time?”

    “Of course.”

    “Why didn’t you say? You didn’t mention it at all in those awkward ‘boundaries’ conversations early on. You just said, ‘obviously me being undressed is a no’ or something and moved on, I thought it was an ace thing!”

    “Well I thought it was obvious!”

    “It was not obvious, Jon.”

    Summary

    The guilt he felt was overwhelming, like waves crashing over and drowning out everything else.
    He knew he should’ve been the one to die in the Unknowing. He knew it’d all be better if he were taken by The Stranger, Sasha would’ve been made The Head Archivist. She was always much more qualified than him.

    Summary

    Much to Elias’ dismay, Jon doesn’t actually want to be an Archivist.

    Also… well, as Georgie put it: “There are only two situations where you’d say someone ‘died in the line of duty’: if they were actually a literal soldier, or else if you’re a serial killer and you’re not actually that committed to pretending you didn’t kill them. Unless Gertrude died in a top-secret war that’s going on in the basement of the Magnus Institute, I see only one option here.”

    Jon glared, but Georgie shrugged. “Sorry, Jon, I just call it like I see it. Your boss is a serial killer and you’re next on his hit list. Probably best not to take his creepy cursed job position.”

    ~

    In which Jon and Georgie are flatmates, the archives crew rock their dysfunction to the fullest, and the only thing that resembles canon is the way absolutely no one is cishet.
