A stomach bug makes its way round the archives.
Martin reacts in typical Martin fashion - with tea, worry, and absolutely nothing else, thank you very much.

Summary
When filling out the application, he was very detailed in his skill set. Writing, editing, research, filing, archival work, that sort of thing. Really, the opportunity to work in some sort of local publication’s office or town history archive would’ve been rather pleasant! That’s what he was expecting, anyway.
Those expectations flew out the window and all the way back to London when his shuttle pulled up to a farmhouse in the middle of nowhere….God, where was he? What state bordered Georgia? Louisiana? Kansas? Didn’t matter. Apparently, twenty hours a week, he was going to be the part-time summer farmhand.
Brilliant.

In which Jon is spending the summer abroad in America, and Martin is a farmhand eager to become friends.

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.

Summary
Martin had always been favored by the summer courts, and moving up north to the little village of Lacuna is a difficult adjustment. It's rainy and lonely and everyone seems to have a strange, distant relationship with the local faerie court.
However: there is a strange man in a cloak who walks past Martin's remote little cottage every few days.
However: there is a moth that keeps getting stuck in Martin's house during the rain.
These events are not as disconnected as they first appear.

Summary
Martin’s been glancing at the door every now and again for the past half an hour, looking conflicted about something. It's already quite dark outside, so Jon guesses he might be concerned about the safety of leaving at this time.
“Need some fresh air?" he prompts.
Martin's eyes snap towards him, he must not have been expecting Jon to say anything about it. Regardless, he hums an agreement. “It could wait until morning, I guess, but I imagine I’ll be all fidgety the whole night if I don’t go.”Or
Martin goes on an evening walk where he meets a very special little cow and keeps it company for a while while mourning its inevitable fate. Back at home, he's looked after by Jon, who can't bear to see him unhappy and with no one to comfort him. It's sad and it's fluffy, as Jon and Martin tend to be.Inspired by the poem "Two-Headed Calf" by Laura Gilpin.
