    Summary

    There's just one problem, at the moment. Well, actually, no, there are currently several problems. Several problems that, lumped together, all add up to one really, really big problem.

    Here are Martin’s current problems. Problem number one: Martin has just become a fugitive, both from the law and from the various supernatural forces that would like to murder both him and Jon with extreme prejudice. Problem number two: Martin and Jon are currently in hiding, and are rationing their trips to town as much as possible, to avoid drawing unwanted attention. Problem number three: libido is one of the things that the Lonely suppresses, and Martin is no longer bound to the Lonely. Problem number four: Martin, at this point, can't even remember how long it's been since he last had an orgasm.

    And the fifth, final problem: the shower in Daisy's safehouse does not have a detachable showerhead.

    Summary

    Jon's feeling some kind of way about recent developments in his transition. Martin is in favor of anything that gives Jon agency over his body. Also, Jon is very cute.

    Summary

    He peers between the branches at the spiderweb, gently pushing some away to get a better view. He wonders what kind of spider it is, if he can catch a glimpse of it. There aren’t that many types in England, but--

    Oh. He doesn’t spot the spider, but there’s something else trapped in the middle of the web. A large moth, its wings splayed helpless and immobile. As he watches, he sees its legs wriggle ineffectually in the air. It’s a surprisingly pitiful sight, making Martin’s heart unexpectedly wrench a bit for the poor thing.

    -

    Martin saves a moth from a spider. He doubts that this decision will have any sort of serious repurcussions.

    Summary

    If Martin had realized how difficult this was going to be, he would’ve left Jon at home. They’d already left ‘at the wrong time, Martin, everyone goes on a Saturday, it’ll be so crowded’ and parked in a ‘terrible spot, Martin, right by the carts, we’ll be lucky if we don’t get a dent in the car.’

    Martin and Jon go grocery shopping.

    Summary

    The thing is, the thoughts aren't even exactly lewd. It's more like...the way he would see a cashmere scarf on a rack at a store, and he would reach out automatically to touch it, because some part of his hindbrain knew the texture would feel soft and nice in his hand.

    The only difference is, he doesn't usually have these kinds of intrusive thoughts several times a day, and they've never been exclusively directed at a feature of his co-worker's anatomy.

     

    fill for kink meme prompt: Jon has An Inappropriate Thought about Martin’s chest, and then spends months frantically repressing it. Martin, when he finds out, thinks this is absolutely hilarious.

    Summary

    “You know Valentine's Day doesn’t have to be a box of bad chocolate and Tesco’s finest wilting rose bouquet. It can just be you,” Melanie says, and Martin understands she means both of them, him and Jon, and what they mean and are together. “And if that’s absolutely nothing, not even acknowledging the date, whatever, I’m sure that’s fine, too. ‘Sides, not like Jon’s big on romance, is he?”

    “Um,” says Martin, blushing and tongue-tied in the coffee shop. “I mean — maybe a bit?”

    ***
    It's the first Valentine's Day after the world came back; Martin doesn't think much of Valentine's, but he wants to make it perfect.

    Summary

    The great Eye that had replaced the sun is withering, sinking in on itself and weeping green. He doesn't need the Beholding's help to know that other horrors around the world are dissolving too, countless agonies peeling back to release their victims.

    It's the ultimate cruelty that, for this to work, Jon had to die first.

    Above him, Helen claps her palms together. “How do you feel about a suggestion?”

     
    Or: at the end of it all, Martin makes a choice-- and four years earlier, Martin wakes up.

    This isn't exactly how he’d imagined first getting undressed in front of Jon. But he had predicted how nerve-wracking it would be rather accurately indeed.

    Summary

    Martin has always liked the idea of love at first sight.

    It’s such a romantic idea, the whole thing of it. Seeing someone and instantly feeling that strange, twisting feeling deep inside that every single media likes to obsess over. Of knowing you are in love within the day, petals falling from your mouth and warmth filling your chest as love burrows deep, vines twisting through your lungs.

    He always liked the idea of it.

    And then Jonathan Sims starts working at the Magnus Institute.

    Summary

    After a moment, Martin decides he’ll just watch what Jon does, and then do the same. Takes a sandwich, a snack, a drink. Carries it outside to the picnic area with Jon, and eats without thinking. Ignores the way that it makes him feel as he slides back into the passenger seat, Jon’s fingers drumming lightly on the steering wheel next to him: uncomfortably full, in more ways than just physical.

    It’ll work for now, he tells himself. He’ll figure it out later.

    -

    Old habits don’t die easily in the safehouse. Jon and Martin work on it.

    Summary

    “Do you guys think Jon is attractive? Be honest,” Melanie mused, leaning back in her seat in exactly the way Jon was always telling her not to. Martin carefully ducked his head under the desk, pretending to be searching for another errant paper. He was paranoid that something in his face would betray his answer to Melanie’s question. Could other people sense when your heart was beating quickly? He didn’t think so, but just to be safe he wrapped his jacket more closely over his chest to muffle the hypothetical sound.

    He didn’t even know what answer he’d give anyway. He certainly couldn’t just tell the truth. Some of them probably suspected – Georgie and Melanie more likely than the others. But he couldn’t bring himself to speak of it openly. It was easier if he let them imagine that they might be wrong and it might not be true – if he let them imagine that they could cut him some slack. That he might have enough dignity not to fall for someone who was so hopelessly out of his league and who, as everyone could very obviously discern, would never, ever, ever, ever view him as anything but a quasi-competent co-worker.

    Summary

    “Come in, Martin,” he says, not looking up from his notes. 

    “Hi, Jon,” he says, and Jon stops writing at the sound of his voice. “We’re out of the green tea, but we’ve got lemon?” 

    Jon looks at him. Martin smiles at him in his usual tentative way as he sets the mug of tea down on Jon’s desk. Heat spikes so sharply in his gut that he twitches with it. 

    “Thank you, Martin,” he says, mouth dry, and he stands up. 

    “Oh,” he says, sounding almost surprised. He smiles again. “No-- no problem-- um, what are you--” 

    Jon takes Martin by the shoulders, leans up on the tips of his toes, and kisses him.

    Summary

    If asked, Martin would say that he became the shadow director of the Magnus Institute by accident. But nobody ever asked, and nobody ever cared, and it was in this way that Martin stopped lying to himself.

    Or: break free, Martin. All you have to lose are your chains. And your sanity.

    Summary

    Martin Blackwood has worked at Magnus Coffee and Sundries for nearly eight years now. He likes his job. He likes his new manager even more. Even if Jon is a bit of a jerk. And also in a relationship. And would never give him the time of day even if he weren't.

    Or that's what Martin thinks anyway.

    Summary

    Martin feels his face going red as he realizes what the other Martin is talking about. Jon disengages from the other Martin’s arms, and turns to look at him curiously. 

    “What’s he—uh, you—talking about?” 

    “Nothing,” Martin insists at the same time the other Martin says:

    “We’re wondering what it would be like for both of us to fuck you.” 

    There is absolute silence for a moment, broken only by the sound of the wind rustling the grass. Jon’s eyes go very wide. 

    “Oh,” he says eventually. “Really?”

    *

    Martin thinks that Martin should be honest about his fantasies.
