Summary
Martin is moved from the Library into a position he is in no way qualified for. Thinking only of his mother's nursing home bills, he takes the job and starts to unwillingly fall for his boss. Navigating through feelings he knows will never be reciprocated and a lie that keeps growing as he tries to figure out what the hell do you do in an archive.
Jon has received a promotion and is finally being able to be taken seriously. However he is met with an impossible task and a skillset that doesn't suit his new position. Panicking about how Under-Quallified he is Jon learns to rely and trust the people around him. Including his new assistant that won't stop offering to make him tea.

Apocrypha, or, How Jonathan Sims Learned to Like Poetry by celebros
Fandoms: The Magnus Archives (Podcast)
13 May 2026

Summary
“Jon thinks he knows what you’re going to get,” Tim says conspiratorially.
“Oh!” Martin says, and turns towards Jon, holding the menu between them. “Please! I’m indecisive. What did you see?”
Jon raises his eyebrows at Tim as if asking for permission, then taps at the menu. “They have an Earl Grey French ‘75,” he says. Martin squints at the description: Earl Grey infused gin, honey, lemon juice, prosecco. Color is rising in Jon’s cheeks, he thinks, although that could just be light reflecting from the sofas. “I was mostly joking -- you can get whatever you like, of course. On me.”
“Is this from our social budget?” Tim asks.
“No, this is -- on me. Truly. After the week I just put you through, it’s the least I can do.” Jon wrinkles his nose as Martin waves down a waitress. “We have a social budget?”
ADDED 5/13: More epistolary poetry (ch 10), and a timeline (ch 11).

Crushing Realization by Teniralc2 for Luca_myosotis

Summary
From a Tumblr Post:
I think I have seen one or two fics where Jon had his bi awakening over Martin, but I have never, not ONCE seen someone use the comedic potential of Martin realizing he's into men because of Jon
I mean, just imagine it. You're Martin K Blackwood. Your boss is awful. At one point you get a crush on him?? You like guys??? You like THAT guy????
So, that's basically the fic. Season 1 Martin develops an inconvenient work crush. It's probably fine.

Summary
"Anyway, I’ve never seen you before! Are you new around here?”
Martin nodded. “I…yeah.”
“Hey, cool!” The boy exclaimed. “What brings you out here?”
“Oh!” Martin paused. “Uh, me and my mum, just…I guess we needed a fresh start.”
“Makes sense,” The boy shrugged. “That’s pretty much the only reason anyone ever moves out here.” He stood up, holding his hand out for Martin to shake. “My name’s Tim.”-
Martin Blackwood moves to the small town of Spring River with his mum, hoping for a "fresh start". What seems like a little town out in the middle of nowhere begins to reveal more and more secrets, until suddenly Martin is questioning everything he's ever known.

Summary
'Something crashes into the fence at the bottom of the garden, making the hanging baskets of dried-up flowers that Jon hasn't had the presence of mind to remove sway against the wood. He thumbs the tape recorder off and shoves it into the pocket of his jacket, finding his feet on the patio. The penknife feels pitifully miniscule in his fingers, so he exchanges it for the pipe.
More banging, and one of the fence panels starts to buckle, the wood splintering in sharp snaps.
'Hello?' Jon calls out, finding his tone strangely polite even now, devoid of either the fear or the righteous anger he feels. 'Are you-?'
Alive? A person?'
Or, the one with all the zombies.

Summary
Jon hadn’t exactly forgotten that Martin was sleeping in the archives, per se, it had just… unfortunately slipped his mind.
Or in which Jon and Martin are extremely sleep-deprived and traumatized and you know what, just a dash of Physical Touch couldn't hurt... it actually would be very nice, thank you.

Summary
No, the Archivist is not sure why he is here. But he remembers this day.
He remembers kicking an old spare lighter across the floor of his flat that morning. He remembers taking deep, steadying breaths, trying to convince himself that being 'head' of anything is something he is cut out for. He remembers the click of the tape recorder when he sat down to record.
He remembers...
No, wait.

Summary
“Martin… You’re not, uh…” Jon rubs a self-conscious hand over the back of his neck, naturally unsure about the proper way to broach the subject of one’s possible death. “You didn’t die here, did you?”
Martin swallows. “I… did, actually?” He says, his brows shooting up with an apologetic smile. He sounds as though he thinks he’s done something wrong somehow by dying.
Jon can see dead people. Martin is haunting his new flat.
Well. They're gonna have to make it work, somehow.Bookmarked by twilightgh0st

Summary
Martin tipped his head back to look at the lights, and his grin was big and white and lovely. He was so pale that they should have washed him out, but they only served to light him up, highlighting the pink flush of his cheeks and the soft smattering of freckles that Jon hadn’t been close enough to notice before. His round glasses reflected the light, but beneath them Jon could see the way they turned his eyes honey-gold.
He squeezed Jon’s hand. “It’s beautiful.”
“Yes,” Jon agreed, squeezing back.
To say that Jonathan Sims didn't enjoy Christmas would be a gross understatement.
With the season fast approaching, his friends set him up on a series of festive dates to get him into the holiday spirit. Enter Martin Blackwood, a local tattoo artist and the absolute opposite of Jon’s type, to teach him the true meaning of Christmas.

Summary
Martin loves autumn. He loves the cool breezes and the rainy evenings. He loves the drifting, colorful leaves, and he makes a point to find a few perfect ones to press in his old journal each year. He loves pulling out his soft jumpers, burying himself in cozy layers. But mostly, he’s learning, he loves the way the chill of autumn lends an extra ease of domesticity to his relationship with Jon. He loves the way Jon pads around in absurdly thick socks, the way he looks with bits of leaves stuck in his messy hair, the way he snuggles drowsily into him, murmuring don’t gos and you’re warms. It makes something in Martin’s chest swell and tremble. He loves Jon, and he loves autumn.
Loosely, 5 times Martin helps Jon stay warm + 1 time Jon helps Martin stay warm throughout their first autumn and winter together.
