Up in Smoke and Down in Flames by SupposedToBeWriting

Summary
The last few years have been foggy for Martin, which is perfectly fine for him and his perfectly normal, mundane life. That is, until he walks into the Eyeclops that's been haunting his dreams every night for the past six months. As he wrestles with a past that he can't remember, Martin is soon faced with an even more dangerous individual: one who has machinations larger than he could've ever imagined.
And it might just be up to Jon, who never thought he'd be perceived by the world again, to save him.

"Oh, so you two know each other," Tim grins, clearly delighted by this development.
With a lack of anything else to say, he falls back onto his default state.
"Unfortunately," Jon replies drily.
---
Jon's first day as Head Archivist starts with him being introduced to a new hire, Martin Blackwood - a man he hasn't seen in ten years.
He's also his ex.
It's a bit of a problem.

Summary
It was completely fine that Jon was following up on this very normal, non-supernatural statement at midnight on a Friday. He was going to find nothing at all, and then he was going to go home and sleep for fourteen straight hours and feel absolutely no qualms about moving case #0150409 directly into the filing cabinet marked "discredited."
Or: Jon and Martin investigate Carlos Vittery's basement and find the entity formerly known as Jane Prentiss together.

Martin: Go back to work, Tim. Please don’t give Jon a reason to call HR on day one.
Tim: oh so hes JON now is he };)There’s just something so familiar about the new hire in the research department, but Martin can’t figure it out.

Summary
Love is in the air for Jonathan Sims, literature student and general busybody. He can't believe his luck at finding Martin Blackwood, a hard-working physics student with an impossible schedule. It seems far too good to be true.
And yet, trouble bubbles beneath the surface - not only because Martin may very well be more secret than human, but also the grand machinations of a psychology lab run by one Professor Elias Bouchard.

Summary
“Have you got anywhere to stay?” Jon asks him, briskly. “Friends, acquaintances, maybe, who you could stay with…?”
Martin flushes, deeply. “I, I mean— n-no, not really,” he stammers, and then goes even redder. “Or, just, y’know not that I’d want to, to. Put in the middle of this. Put in danger of, of worms.”
“Ah,” Jon says, “No, of course, that makes sense.” Why drag anyone else into this mess? Seven people died during Prentiss’s initial hospitalization; the collateral damage of roping someone from outside the Institute into her orbit doesn’t bare thinking about. “In that case…” Jon feels like there’s some alternative solution, one he’s just not thinking of at the moment, but it evades him, and Martin needs somewhere safe to stay. “My couch is quite comfortable. You’re welcome to come and stay with me until you figure something else out.”
Martin is held hostage by Jane Prentiss for two weeks, and can't go back to his flat. Jon offers him a place to stay until Prentiss and her worms can be dealt with, and they can be sure he's safe.

"Who the hell are you?" Jon could feel his hands shaking.
The man laughed, taking a step forward and raising a hand to point at him.
"I'm you, from the future!" he said, then swayed, eyes going unfocused, and collapsed to the floor in a dead faint.

Summary
"Oh, shut up," the doppelganger said, crying and laughing. He looked like Martin, but that couldn't be right because Martin was watching this all unfold. "Now, I'm sorry to just pop in, but I have no clue how long I was in the halls - yes, I know you know - so I'm probably about to pass out. Sorry."
True to his word, he slumped down against the wall. Somewhere, a tape recorder clicked off.
"Alright," Tim said when the silence got uncomfortable, "We're not going to try and pretend that wasn't supernatural, right?"

Summary
Martin's been a longtime listener of What the Ghost, so when Georgie gives a shoutout to her flatmate's Twitch channel during a Q&A, he checks it out - only to discover that her flatmate is also his most terrifying coworker at his new job. The first time they crossed paths, Jon yelled at him for incompetence. But on the streams, Martin sees an entirely different person - someone fun and relaxed, engaging and unfairly attractive. Over time, Martin begins to find that Jon buried inside his dour, awkward coworker. He also learns to live with the fact that his crush is painfully one-sided... or is it?

Summary
"I have pills," Jon blurts out, and it's such a bizarre non-sequitur that Martin worries he really has lost it, for a minute. Martin stares at Jon uncomprehendingly as he continues, "That is, medication. For anxiety. If it would help."
Martin continues to stare for a moment, and then surprises himself by breaking out into a high, hysterical-sounding laugh. "You know what. Fine. Let's do drugs at work. Why not!" His voice sounds strange to his own ears, creaking and cracking like that one time he had laryngitis.
Jon rubs his temple, looking like he's already regretting the offer. "Oh, for god's- it's ativan, Martin, not cocaine."

He fell into a deep bow, smiling the whole while. “I’m the ringmaster, of course.”
“Is that skin— Is it yours?” Old wood groaned as the Archivist shifted his weight. “Originally.”
“It is!” the ringmaster said as he swooped back upright. “Nikola decided I wore it well, so she let me keep it. Why do you ask?”
The Archivist gave him another once-over. “You just… you look familiar. Like someone I know.”
On relearning, reconnecting, and redefining.

“Oh, I understand you’ve been quite busy. Think nothing of it. Now, how can I help you?”
Tim leaned back against the wall by the door, arms crossed. “No pleasantries? I knew prison was supposed to harden people, but I guess I didn’t realize how true it was. Not even a, how are you?"
“I rather thought you’d prefer to skip anything that might waste time,” Elias said. “But if you’d like to tell me how you are, by all means.”
Or, in which Tim tries a power play, and Elias responds in kind.

A moment or an eternity later, Timothy Stoker gasped with lungs that did not exist, blinked against the light with eyes that were not there and, despite the refusal of contradiction in the not-place that killed him and the not-empty that held him, became his own not-living contradiction in the living world.
Or, in which Jon is not the only member of the archive staff to stumble into becoming an avatar.

“You’re really suggesting this,” Martin says, voice pulled thin.
“Yes.” No hesitation.
“You would- actually do it?”
“I would.”
“With me.”
“Yes, Martin.”
“Why?” Because love is blind, says something cliché and cruel in the pit of his gut. Christ, he never was much of a poet, was he?Or,
When Jon asks Martin to Quit the Archives with him, Martin says yes. Things don't go as planned. In the Scottish Highlands, they hurt, and they heal.

Summary
Jon doesn’t want to trust his coworkers. He can’t. But after being cursed by a Leitner to obey any command given to him, he might have to.
[I got too busy to finish turning my outline into prose, so the last two chapters are bullet point not!fic. My outlines are casual but fairly detailed; they make for a different reading experience than finished prose, of course, but not an unenjoyable one in my opinion. They successfully finish telling the story I set out to tell, so I consider this fic complete.]
