Summary
He sat on the edge of his bed, wings curled loosely behind him. They moved when he breathed - subtle, unconscious shifts, like how a hand might twitch when asleep. He could feel them in a way that was beyond just pain.
They weren’t just attached.
They were his.
That's the worst part.

Jon gets dunked into avatarhood by Beholding mid-season 1, it also decides to turn him into a moth.

(yes the title is a music reference, sue me; most of the chapter titles are going to be references to songs used for Magnus Archives AMVs, or The Mechanisms lyrics)
This work is somewhat inspired by this fanfic by Deanpala, in which Jon dies at the end of S5 and is sent back into the world of S1 MAG as a moth-monster archivist entity (it's good and quite a bit more fluffy than mine)Series

Summary
It is 1934, and the Magnus Institute has not YET been infested with worms, though Mr. Blackwood surely has rambled on about them plenty to the Archivist’s horror. Jonathan Sims reads a statement about one Arthur Lester that feels far too much like a man reaching into a different sort of wasp’s nest, (or like one is reaching into HIM) though, and curiosity truly is an awful sort of thing. He’s always been quite a moth to a flame, hasn’t he?
Or; AU in which Arthur and John are part of the TMA universe but everyone is in 1934 and things get Insectoid.
(Title is from Let Down by Radiohead. Yes. I know. I know...)

Summary
Eleven year old Agnes Montague wasn't happy with being sent off to the halfway home on Hilltop Road. Especially with how she could barely even do anything without being ignored by the other kids.

Summary
After the death of his mother, Martin has no reason to keep himself bound to the unwelcome city he's lived in his whole life. Seeking a change, he moves to a small town in the heart of the English countryside - one tied inexplicably and centuries-deep to the Courts of Fair Folk that reside in the nearby forest.
It's by chance that he finds himself lost, after dark, wandering through the woodland in search of something that wears his friend's face. It's by chance that the fae he meets does not intend to devour him. It's by chance — really, it is — that his life is now entangled with the roots and the vines that lace through this town like cabling, as he delves into the past in search of the heart of the fae Courts, and truly, if there's a way to bring anyone back from the creatures that may have snatched them from the world a hundred years before.
(It's by chance, really, that he finds himself falling in love with the monster that stole his heart.) -
