    Summary

    Teeth clenched, Rooster leans his forearm across Hangman’s chest, looming, eyes searching eyes. “What’s your game?”

    If Hangman is intimidated, he gives no indication. In fact, he seems to grasp what Rooster is asking immediately; that stupid smirk curls the sides of his lips as he raises his chin in challenge. “This isn’t a game, Rooster. It’s just life.” The smirk widens. “Well, life and death.”

    ---

    Or: Rooster is sure he’s straight. So why does Hangman always look so good?

    Summary

    The books dig into his chair, and he leans his head back, eyes fluttering closed. When he breathes, it smells like the crisp air of the forest, and he thinks he should leave, or at the very least worry that this is not what he thinks, that maybe it’s the coffin, pushing back -

    Instead he licks his lips and says: “Martin?”

    There’s no answer, but the bookcase moves again, and for a few seconds he is utterly trapped, the desk digging into his stomach; it’s painful, it’s heavy, and he loses his breath - but these days, it’s as close as he gets to an embrace.

    Summary

    Jon finds Gertrude's statement under the floorboards of his office. Elias tries to intervene, too late; Jon's not going to let it go.

    Elias doesn't mind eliminating people who get in his way.

    He's less clear on how to proceed when they show up to work the following morning.

    (If there's one thing Jon excels at, after all, it's refusing to let go.)

    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

    “You need to learn a lesson,” she says, and there’s blood speckling her lips now. She’s overstraining herself. He needs to stop her, calm her down. “And until you learn it you will suffer, just like you’ve made me suffer.”

    “Mum, I think you need to--”

    It turns out that when his father had called his mother a witch, he had meant more than Martin realized.

    Summary

    What if Jon isn't in The Mechanisms? What if Martin is?

    What if it is extremely important that his new boss in the archives, whom he's only crushing on a little bit and who seems to be developing a taste for steampunk cabaret, never ever finds this out?

    Summary

    Martin wasn't alone when he went back to investigate Vittery's basement that night, and he wasn't alone when he fled back to his apartment either. Stuck caring for a boss that hates him, all he can do is pray his coworkers notice their absence.

    Trapped in an apartment with his least favourite assistant and limited supplies, Jon is forced to confront his fear of the supernatural head-on while battling his cravings and bizarrely realistic nightmares. Also, there may or may not be a worm trying to burrow into his leg.

    This is going to be one hell of a week.

    Summary

    Entry #1
    12 September, 2016—09:04
    Subject: Martin Blackwood
    Current level of suspicion: high
    Subject status: passive

    Observer’s notes:
    Goal of observation is to determine severity of subject’s alleged lies and identify causes of subject’s recent abnormal behavior. Subject has demonstrated increased preoccupation with observer’s mental and physical well-being e.g. subject’s placement of jar of Prentiss’ ashes in observer’s office, subject’s repeated insistence on the observer “getting some rest”, and subject’s hovering in office doorway Friday morning until observer was able to present empty mug as evidence of having drunk all his tea. Additional cause for suspicion originates from subject’s references to his own deceitful activities found in letter addressed to subject’s mother.

    Not sure whom he can trust, Jon keeps a close eye on Martin. A very close eye.

    Summary

    I wish I were anyone but me, David wished. I wish I had a different face that people would like.

    Martin felt an odd pang of sympathy in his chest. Being anyone other than Martin Blackwood seemed pretty nice. Having a face that didn't come with a mum who refused your visits, or a career based on lies, or that gnawing emptiness that couldn’t quite be filled with tea and daydreams, sounded pretty nice. No. He wasn’t going to cry over some imaginary boy in a dusty old library book.

    Or Martin makes a very big mistake on a late night in the Archives which may or may not involve a Leitner and a certain Head Archivist.

    Summary

    Before the whole Gertrude incident, it was the general feeling in the office gossip that the archives and artefact storage had been pretty much tied on their creepiness levels.

     

    Unfortunately, the mysterious disappearance of a head archivist leaving behind only unholy amounts of blood had raised the standards slightly.

     

    Featuring Jon's descent into dishevelry, the increasing aggression of Tim's t-shirts and Martin being an immovable force of perfect jumpers.

    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

    After reversing the apocalypse, Jon and Martin are pulled into another dimension. They end up in Night Vale.
    -
    “We have two visitors here today, Night Vale. Now, I know what you’re thinking, listeners: should we all go find these visitors, point at them, and yell ‘Interloper’? Well, for once, I think we should break with tradition. You see, these are some very special visitors.
    “Jonathan Sims and Martin Blackwood materialised out of thin air just outside the dog park. Jon was bleeding heavily from a stab wound to the chest, and was immediately taken to hospital…

    Summary

    Ever since accepting the role as Head Archivist of the Magnus Institute, Jonathan Sims has been rather thoroughly cursed. He is unable to leave the institute walls without transforming into a horrific monster, which in of itself wouldn't be that big a deal if it weren't for the fact that Martin saw him.

    Jon lives a double life and accidentally befriends/falls for Martin along the way

    Summary

    Jon is apparently back now. Home from America and dressed in a loud Hawaiian print shirt and baggy cargo pants, his face tanned a shade darker than Martin remembers, accentuating the streaks of silver in his hair and the new crinkles at the corners of his eyes. Or maybe the crinkles are the same, but Martin never noticed because Jon’s never smiled at him quite like this, big and bright as a penny.

    Summary

    “What--” He stops to compulsively lick his lips. His back hits the wall-- he’d started backing up at some point and he hadn’t noticed. He can’t tear his eyes away from the man on his couch. No. The creature. “What are you?” 

    Martin finally looks up from his book. He looks at Jon. He doesn’t look like Prentiss. He isn’t full of gaping holes that should have killed him, he isn’t covered in squirming, shiny white worms, he doesn’t smell like a moldy, rotting corpse. He looks like a pleasant, normal man. He has freckles scattered across the bridge of his nose, his cheeks. Monsters shouldn’t have freckles, Jon thinks nonsensically. 

    “I’m your boyfriend,” the monster sitting on his couch says, as if this is a matter that is not up for debate, that Jon has no say in.

    Summary

    OR, the soap opera we call an Archives revolves around Peter Lukas this time.

    Martin makes Jon tea for the first time about a week into his transfer. It’s horrible. Gag-reflex inducing. Somehow sporting all the wrong flavors.

    For some reason, he does not have the heart to break this to Martin.

    Little does Jon know that Martin actually makes wonderful tea. Just not for him.
