Summary
Severus Snape has his emotions in check. He knows that he experiences anger and self-loathing and a bitter yearning, and that he rarely deviates from that spectrum… Until the first-year Luna Lovegood arrives to his class wearing a wreath of baby’s breath. Over the next six years, an odd friendship grows between the two, and Snape is not sure how he feels about any of it.

Summary
He doesn’t know that a buffoon with blond curls and a nervous smile will end him as surely as a bullet to the temple. He will lose everything from his boat to his beard and his name along with it, and the worst part is that he will be glad for the loss. Edward Teach will fall in love and Blackbeard will die, and neither fraction of himself sees it coming.
Edward's perspective on the story, starting with s1e03 thru post-finale.

Summary
“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.
(Re-written as of 22-12-27; see chapter 9 for more info.)

Summary
It’s a nice dress. Classy, if also a little risqué. Set off against dark skin, it looks very good. It would probably work on Jon, actually. He wonders where she got it. Then he remembers he’s at work, and abruptly derails that train of thought.
-
The women of the Magnus Institute are holding a protest against the sexist dress code of their place of work. Jon is conflicted, and also has a gender for some reason. What's up with that?

Summary
"So, is there anything you, like...definitely don't want to do?" says Martin, because he’s not quite brave enough to come right out and say "So, I really, really want your cock inside me, what are the chances of us making that happen as soon as possible?"
Martin then immediately regrets asking such a vague question of the most pedantic man on Earth, because he can see the way Jon's eyes glaze over as his imagination goes into overdrive. "I meant anything that's actually likely to come up, Jon."
Jon visibly reels it back in. "Um, I don't think so. Unless you're harboring a secret desire to drink my blood, or something."
"Oh, no. You've discovered my dastardly plan. I'll have to kill you now."

Summary
“Tattoos don’t always have to be profound,” Martin says. “For a lot of people they’re simply a fun means of expression, like any other art. But it sounds as if you’ve found something that’s meaningful for you?”
“I think so.” Jon takes a notebook out of his satchel and leafs through it to find the right page, then holds it out. The words are written in neat, looping handwriting:
‘Only in silence the word, only in dark the light, only in dying life: bright the hawk's flight on the empty sky.’

Summary
“It feels like we should be saying hello.”
Martin waves. “Hi. Nice to meet you. Thanks for, um, saving me from a force of unknowable evil.”
Jon lifts his head to look at Martin. He drinks him in. It hurts, because it feels impossible. He is realizing more with each second how bad he wants for this to be real: Martin’s faded green coat, the little mole under his left eye, his windswept hair. After more than a year of absence, of heads down in the corridors, tense exchanges where too much was said in nothing, this is like the first day after a famine.
“Hello, Martin.” Jon exhales a breath he hadn’t known he was holding. “It’s good to see you again.”

Summary
“So you’re the last thing I have left. And right now it’s basically just fifty-fifty whether I lose you to what’s in here,” Martin says, and he taps Jon’s temple, just next to his eyes, “or this,” he says, and he puts a hand over Jon’s heart. “So it doesn’t matter what I think or feel – I need to make sure you’re gonna be okay, or I won’t have anything left.”
“It doesn’t matter – of course it matters,” says Jon, horrified. “God. Martin. Did you really think I didn’t care what you were feeling about all this?”
Martin avoids his gaze.

Summary
“Thanks for doing this,” says Jon, quietly, and sounding so sheepish that Tim has to pause halfway through rolling the condom on and wrestle his brain back into the realm of complex thought, in order to parse this sudden, new dimension of whatever the hell it is they’re doing. Which is sex, definitely, but also a totally unique experience in comparison to the hundred-odd times Tim’s done it before.
“I’m not, you know, fucking you out of charity,” he says, aware that might be a little too harsh for the moment but unable to phrase things any better. “I mean, you get that, right?”

“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.”

A Matter of Diplomacy (Swords and Fire AU) by CirrusGrey
Fandom The Magnus Archives (Podcast)
03 Oct 2020
Summary
Swords and Fire is a book trilogy written by Melissa Caruso. This series is set in that world, though minor (and some major) alterations have been made so that it suits the TMA characters better.
This series is intended to be read in chronological order, and the later installments will probably not make much sense without reading the prior ones first.

Summary
The harmless crush hadn’t taken Martin by surprise. At all. He knows his own weaknesses, and the day he’d first set eyes on Jon, he’d seen every last one of them glaring back at him. But as he steps into the pub on the unremarkable Thursday night on which he will fall in love, he’s thinking about fate.
Jon, on the other hand, is thinking about how soon he can reasonably leave the pub.
The next four years? An exercise in bad timing.

Team Ineffable - A Pokémon GOmens Story by WyvernQuill

Summary
"Ngk. I am. Actually." Crowley puffed up his chest. "Local highscore holder in Pokémon. Champion, that's me."
"No!" Aziraphale gasped. Crowley's preening intensified. "What an honour!"
"I know the... the pokydox by heart." He boasted proudly, and reveled in the adoring looks Aziraphale was throwing him.*
*He had the nagging feeling that this might come back to bite him.
"I'll have to tell my godson I met you!" Aziraphale exclaimed brightly.*
*Yup, there it was.
---
Crowley runs into the man of his dreams - quite literally so - while playing Pokémon Go, and proceeds to swindle his way into his heart with made-up pokédex entries and unsubstantiated boasts.
(Little does he know, Aziraphale might not have been entirely honest, either...)

Summary
I would buy back the stars I made in the sky for you, Crowley thinks. I would get a real human job and work however long I'd need to earn enough real human money to bargain with the Almighty for you and your soul. I would give it all to you in pennies and beg you to try to purchase my freedom from hell if it meant I would be enough for you to want me. Name the price and I will find a way to buy your love.
"Nonsense, angel," Crowley says, grinning. "Consider it my demonic contribution to the ever-increasing crass overcommercialization of this holiday."
Or, Valentine's Days through the ages.
