    Summary

    They arrived with no fanfare. No sound, no whooshing air, no flashing lights. Just the two of them, wrapped around each other, kneeling on the ground against the wall of a building.

    The first year is hard. There's anger and betrayal, pain and hopelessness, desperate fear that they'd brought cosmic horror to this universe with them. They break each other's hearts a fair few times, and anger simmers between them for weeks on end sometimes. But they always find their ways back to each other.

    Summary

    ‘There’s not a… sixteenth fear entity emerging, is there?’ asked Martin.

    ‘What? No. Of course not,’ said Peter, frowning. ‘I need you to go and visit Elias and deliver a message from me.’

    ‘Um,’ said Martin. This sounded worse, actually.
     

    Martin had thought isolating himself from the rest of the world and reading horrible statements about the end of humanity was the worst his job as Peter's assistant could throw at him. It turned out he was very, very wrong.

    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.)

    Summary

    “Sure,” Georgie says, still laughing at him. At least someone is having fun. “Don’t you have assistants for that kind of thing?”

    “Yes, but…” He huffs, scratching the back of his neck. “I wasn’t going to ask one of them to download an app called...Lover? Lov-rrr? I don’t know how you say it.” He flaps his hands dismissively. “There are--unions and such. It wouldn’t be appropriate.”

    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.
