    Summary

    Jonah had everything planned out for his future Archivist. He had the plans for him to be Marked and for the Beholding's ritual to be read through him. But for some reason, he never Saw the Anchor his future Archivist had, that Anchor ruined his plans.

    But maybe, with a change of plans, he could still bring about the greatest ritual this world will ever see, but this time he had back up Archivists.

    -or-

    Jon has a daughter and her existence changes so much of the story that we know.

    Summary

    (tw injury)

    “Fuck.” Martin hissed, taking in a sharp breath through his teeth as the metal slid, just wrong, out of his hand. The pain bloomed across his neck only a few seconds after he saw the blade slide, in the mirror, and then - very slowly, with no fanfare, a few beads of blood began to pop up from the little cut on the side of his neck. “Godfuckingdammit.”

    He hated shaving. Fuck, he hated it. It was so easy to slip up with the way his hands didn’t like to work these days, and he’d always been clumsy even before the numbness stole his fucking dexterity, and the result wasn’t even worth it. And the pain wasn’t bad, but there was blood, and it was going to make a mess, and - 

    He pressed a hand over the cut, putting light pressure on the wound, watching with a grimace in the mirror as the pale skin of his face went just a little paler, and the contrast of deep red began to dribble down his neck.

    He stared, transfixed, for a long moment as something clicked in the back of his brain.

    A twig snapping, an unknown sound in an empty house, that set his body on high alert before he could even process why -

    ...fuck, he...he didn’t feel right.

    Summary

    "Can the twitch of a spider's legs change the course of a story?"

    Martin Blackwood encounters the supernatural before he gets a job at the Magnus Institute. Used to having only spiders as his friends, he's surprised when he forms close bonds with Sasha, Jon, and Tim. Yet there's something bigger at play. Martin is already vaguely aware of this, but it becomes clearer after the four of them transfer to the Archives. Forced to face killer worms, apocalypse cults, and threats far too close to home, Martin ends up grappling with his humanity. If it's to protect his friends, what does it matter what he becomes? The silk calls to him, after all.

    Summary

    Summary

    Jon was dead. Nobody knew why or how but the fact of the matter was that he was super super dead and lying on his back on the floor of his office with his legs curled up like a deceased bug. Welp.

    Summary

    "Martin puttered, confused, toward Gertrude’s decrepit potted plant. Jon couldn’t bring himself to say anything else, resigning to his fate with a weak thumbs-up. Martin furrowed an eyebrow at this. His dawdling, unwanted accomplice in the business of misery swept up the trash bin in one hand and walked it over to Jon, placing it on his desk. He pushed his prize forward, with a not-insignificant amount of jazz handsiness. Jon felt any last dash of respect towards Martin die from prolonged famine. With a quickness, the archivist snatched the can, moved it to the floor, slunk to his knees, made eye contact with the most useless ass he’d ever met, and proceeded to scream out the contents of his stomach."

    A story about three horrible migraines and the miserable wretch who suffers through them.

    Summary

    Nora bailey isn't supposed to be here. She is an impossibility that looks and acts like a person. Her existence is the culmination of decades worth of research and ritual, all to answer one question...Can a being made of Fear ever be taught to feel anything else?

    Jon didn't expect to live through his boyfriend stabbing him in the chest. He expected to die, and for Martin to join him soon after. So why is he waking up at his desk, at the tail end of January in 2016? Martin is with him, so he would be perfectly content to let the miracle be, except for one tiny, miniscule detail. There is a woman in the Archives he doesn't know, and there is something very Wrong about her. For starters, she wasn't there the first time around. She's American, which he definitely would've remembered, and she just feels...off. So much for a fresh start...

    Summary

    Elias doesn't feel like slowly waiting for Jon to be marked. Nah - that's boring and slow. Besides, the other avatars will of course support his end goal.

    He stages a 'Catch and Release the Archivist Contest.'

    Steps:
    1. Kidnap Jonathan Sims
    2. Mark him (traumatize him in some way, it can be emotional, emotional and physical, etc. Use your imagination!)
    3. Release him (have him ‘escape,’ whatever, I really don’t care)

    Summary

    “...I don’t know if I trust your definition of alright, Martin.”

    “You’re one to talk.” He breathed, a dull smile pulling up the corners of his lips. He could feel it, half wry, half real, but it didn’t quite matter. Jon was still looking straight at him, face set, and the expression only shifted a little at Martin’s words. A flicker of his eyes away, embarrassed that he’d been called out, too. Then a doubling down with a small huff, a shake of his head, and a return to that serious, foreboding stare. His curls shook a little as he jerked his head back and forth, twice, and Martin cursed the little urge in him to run his hands through them. He wondered if they were as soft as they looked.

    This was exactly why this was dangerous, fuck.

    “Really, though, Martin. I…I worry. I don’t like you being around Peter like you are.” Jon started, as if they hadn’t had this conversation already, every single time Jon had found him. As if it hadn’t been multiple months of dancing around it already, talking to each other like brick walls. “He’s-"
    “He’s dangerous, he’s insidious - I know, Jon. We’ve been over this.” He finished for him, staring straight into his set gaze. “But…it’s alright. I’ve got it under control.”

    Summary

    He grabbed him by the shoulders. “Jon. Jon. Look outside.”

    So, he did.

    Bodies, mangled thin-skinned bodies scratching at the windows. Their mouths were wide open and teeth covered in black. Jon wanted to know where they came from, he needed to ask. But before he could do anything, Tim was tugging him by the arm to Artefact Storage of all things. It was underground, sure, but no way they could stay!

    OR

    This is a zombie apocalypse au of The Magnus Archives :)

    It is ongoing but I will absolutely finish this if it's the last thing I do. Updates sporadically and often.
