Summary
"...if he cannot go to the temples, then maybe the temples can come to him."
A farmer struggling with a string of poor harvests reaches out to any god who will listen. He didn't actually expect one to answer.
(Or, I read Tumblr's "The God of Arepo" again and got emotional).

Summary
Martin Blackwood has an old habit of making two cups of tea. When he isn't paying any attention in the breakroom, that habit resurfaces, and rather than waste a perfectly good mug, he gives it to Jon.

Summary
“He has become the conduit between this new world and the thing that watches it. It’s all running through him…to someone so close to it, I imagine it would be a state of… agonized bliss.” - Jon, MAG 193
So, what if the beginning of the apocalypse went a little differently?
__
Jon changed when the apocalypse started. Whatever power he'd gained from all their times in the archives seemed to fully control him, and that terrified Martin.

Summary
Some months after the events of Red Hook, a sense of normalcy has returned to Noel's life. He lives with the people who he cares about, he does work that matters, and he's no longer in constant fear for his life. Things are stable for the first time in who knows how long -
That is, until he opens the door to find the King in Yellow, naked and human, sitting on his welcome mat instead of the morning paper.Series

Summary
If Callum could make only one thing clear from the start, it was this: he wasn’t scared.
Taking the second star to the right and straight on ‘til morning just led to cold, empty, endless black. Only babies believed otherwise.
Callum still spared a wish or two, some nights.

Summary
Over the course of his employment at the Magnus Institute, Martin learns several things about sirens. They do not sing so much as make you see and hear what they know will affect you deeply. They can know you to the core with just a look. They can appear remarkably human.
They can be deceptively easy to fall in love with.

Summary
Martin couldn’t remember exactly when or why he’d joined the Knights of the Lonely. He supposed that was by design.
Knights of the Lonely weren’t meant to last long. They were built to take blows, and, if necessary, they were built to die. He supposed that suited him fine.
But upon an assignment to escort the Watcher’s betrothed to the Kingdom of Beholding, Martin began to realize that, perhaps, there was something he was missing. Perhaps it was in the shape of a person with bright, intelligent eyes and acerbic wit, with prickly edges and a gentle smile when he thought no one was looking.
There was only one problem. He wasn’t meant to let the Watcher’s betrothed reach the kingdom alive.
