Summary
"Oh, shut up," the doppelganger said, crying and laughing. He looked like Martin, but that couldn't be right because Martin was watching this all unfold. "Now, I'm sorry to just pop in, but I have no clue how long I was in the halls - yes, I know you know - so I'm probably about to pass out. Sorry."
True to his word, he slumped down against the wall. Somewhere, a tape recorder clicked off.
"Alright," Tim said when the silence got uncomfortable, "We're not going to try and pretend that wasn't supernatural, right?"

Summary
He's never been here at night, but slipping through the dark, empty Archives is second nature anyway. It’s as if his feet know precisely where to step, to make the least noise. Which floorboards creak the hardest, how to avoid the books Tim left lying on the floor.
And then he’s standing outside the Archivist’s office, just out of sight, taking in that voice.
None of the words are clear, they're mumbled too quietly to make out. But they're familiar. Oh so familiar.It’s like Martin can predict the exact dips in octave the Archivist's voice will take before it does. Like he knows what statement is being read, without any possible indicator.
or
Martin Blackwood gets a promotion. It's a new opportunity with new faces to get acquainted with. If only they actually felt new. If only his new boss didn't make the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. If only he didn't look so familiar. If only the inexplicable grief Martin feels every time they make eye contact could be, well.. explicable.

Summary
After recovering from his coma after the Unknowing, Jon wakes to find both himself and the Institute changed beyond recognition. Jon doesn’t trust Peter Lukas, or the Lonely for that matter, so why is he finding Peter’s new assistant, Martin Blackwood, so infuriatingly hard to hate?
OR, what happens if Peter Lukas found Martin before he had a chance to join the Magnus Institute and turned him into a fully fledged Avatar of the Lonely? And what if Martin doesn’t meet Jon until almost a decade later?

Summary
The last few years have been foggy for Martin, which is perfectly fine for him and his perfectly normal, mundane life. That is, until he walks into the Eyeclops that's been haunting his dreams every night for the past six months. As he wrestles with a past that he can't remember, Martin is soon faced with an even more dangerous individual: one who has machinations larger than he could've ever imagined.
And it might just be up to Jon, who never thought he'd be perceived by the world again, to save him.

Summary
Elias called his name and ran to him. Jonathan made no indication he heard him. As Elias came closer, he saw that Jonathan was tilting his head slightly from side to side, eyes closed, as if he were basking in some faraway melody. Elias only heard the roaring wind.
He grabbed Jonathan’s arm, shouting his name more forcefully. He cried some questions and demands; Elias forgot what exactly. Jonathan opened his eyes but stayed in focus of the night sky and the rain.
“You have me,” Jonathan said sadly, as if he were waking from a wonderful dream, “you have me. Yes, we’ll go.”
Elias realised that he and Jonathan were not the same that night.
After being cursed to never being able to marry a human, Elias creates a bride out of flowers. (A TMA Blodeuwedd AU)

Summary
Months after the Prentiss attack, Martin Blackwood is having a bad day.
Relationships among his coworkers have fallen apart, their boss is stalking them, and no one can quite shake the feeling that danger is still close by. Martin's doing his best to hold everyone together, but tea and sympathy aren't working like they used to. The sole bright spot is that it's much easier to have a crush on Jon now that he's decided Martin isn't a murderer. Mostly, though, Martin's just glad to make it through the day...
...until he wakes up and has to live the same bad day all over again.
Martin finds himself caught in a loop, reliving the 19th November over and over again, struggling to understand why this is happening and what he has to do to get out. His dear coworker Sasha is acting very strange, spiders keep crawling over everything, and at the center of it all is a man with long, sharp hands, who might be to blame... or might be the key to escaping all of this.
(Or: Michael, Not-Sasha, and Annabelle have a three-sided tug-of-war over Martin's brain, while Martin hooks up with the guy who got him into this mess and keeps trying to Fifty-First-Dates his boss.)

Summary
Jon manages to keep himself from reading all of the Watcher’s Crown and then, somehow, he isn’t there anymore. He’s in the Archives, years earlier. He can fix everything before it starts, right?
Wrong. He’s in Georgie’s flat. There’s still time to make things right, it’s not too late, surely?
Wrong. The Archives, except that that’s not—is that Martin? That’s probably—
Wrong. Scotland. Maybe this was all just a bad dream. Martin says it was all just a bad dream. Martin’s always so right, even if he’s acting off. Even if his hair is streaked with spiderweb.

Jon never expected he’d one day have to mourn his own death. He doesn’t even get to go to his own funeral. Life is full of funny little surprises like that.
In which Jon and Martin end up stuck in the Magnus Institute as ghosts, the tunnels beneath the Archives are haunted, Elias gets thwarted by a spider, and murder is plotted over tea and stolen glances.

Summary
Gerry took a wavering step into the room, then another. In the darkness underneath the weird luminous crack in space and time there lay a man crumpled on the floor; he was slight and wild-haired and his face was screwed up in pain, his dirty clothes covered in blood.
"Oh shit," Gerry groaned and fell to his knees, hands hovering. The man’s breath came quick and shallow, teeth digging into his lower lip and nails digging into the floor. Not surprising, that — there was a bloody knife buried in his chest.In another universe, Gerry and Sasha acquire a very troublesome roommate. In yet another universe, Martin has to deal with the antics of a spider. A strange one-sided correspondence across worlds ensues, while the passage between realities is slowly closing…

Summary
“How does it work?” Martin asked without looking up, and the shopkeeper laughed lightly. The hot embarrassment running up through him was enough to shake Martin out of the trance and he closed his fist around the earring before depositing it lightly on the glass countertop. “Oh right. Magic.”
“Real magic,” the old woman added, smiling coyly.
Martin befriends the odd resident of a strange shop, and learns the truth about real magic.
