    Summary

    Usually, it was gunfire and bomb threats that would cause an episode. Sometimes, it was minor inconveniences stacked up on top of each other during an already shitty day.

    John has a severe PTSD episode. Sherlock (and Mariana) pick up the pieces.

    Summary

    Gwen drifted off somewhere around the midway point of the journey, and Alice only barely managed to catch her before she slumped over into the lap of the man beside them. As she pulled Gwen against her by the waist, her heavy eyes drifted open briefly, glancing up at Alice from where her head had lolled against her shoulder.

    She expected Gwen to bite out some half-embarrassed, sarcastic remark before pulling back into herself, fortifying her walls.

    Alice swallowed back surprise at the soft, vulnerable expression she saw as Gwen settled into her, practically nuzzling her cheek into the collar of Alice’s coat.

    She’s sick and exhausted and half asleep, that’s all. She reminded herself, and buried the disappointment as deep as her own denial.

    ...

    Set in season 1, around episodes 18-19. Gwen gets a fever at work, and really, what choice does Alice have but to look after her?

    Summary

    There’s a new hire in Research. He’s small, and that is the word. He isn’t short, or squat – scrawny is closer to the mark but implies a sort of wiry lopsidedness that doesn’t fit right. He’s just small, like if you took an average sized person and scaled them down. He walks with a cane and keeps his head lowered. He wears some sort of brace or glove on his right hand. Silvery marks pepper his neck and jaw. He doesn’t seem to talk much.

    “I’ve got a name,” Sasha reports, perching on the side of Tim’s desk. She’s just back from a coffee-machine gossip with Rachel, who had been ignored by the new hire in favour of staring at his shoes. “Jonathan.”

    “Compensating for size with syllables, classic move.” Tim peers around her to mentally affix the name to the hunched figure curled into the corner desk. “Word of advice, avoid at all costs a one-night stand with an un-shortened ‘Bartholemew.’”

    Summary

    After a second Jon steps in towards him, close enough that Martin flinches, but all Jon does is put two fingers under his chin with his free hand and raise it until Martin can’t duck away. Jon has never touched him so casually before – at least, not until today, and it raises a lot of thoughts and feelings that Martin is trying very hard not to process.

    Much like a lot of other things that have happened, he thinks. Not that it’s horrible or terrifying or numbing like everything else has been: it’s just another thing on the list of things he doesn’t have the capacity to deal with.

    ---

    In the wake of the Lonely, there's a lot that Martin doesn't really want to think about.

    Summary

    First there was death, the promise of somewhere else, the uncertainty of hope – and then there was this. A rebirth, of sorts.

    Jonathan Sims and Martin Blackwood have no memory of any of it. Born into an entirely new world, their lives follow relatively similar tracks until the point where they would have found themselves at the Magnus Institute, and then they simply carry on living without it. Jon finds himself in the unlikely position of paranormal YouTuber, making an indecent amount of money reading out people’s submissions of terrifying and inexplicable events. Martin, aspiring poet, works whatever job will give him enough money to devote to his real passion: exploring abandoned buildings and uploading the videos to share with the world. By chance, the two of them avoid crossing one another’s paths, until one day they do.

    As their memories return to them, as the world around them seems to shift and change and fall into frighteningly familiar patterns that only they recognise, Jon and Martin have to make a choice.

Moments like these, when Jon comes to him for comfort and affection, unlock something special deep in his chest. Jon loves him, Jon trusts him, Jon wants him close by when he doesn't feel well. What a privilege that is.

    After having killed Jonah Magnus and ended the Change, Jon and Martin should finally be able to rest. Rest, however, proves impossible when Jon falls ill. What's more, he begins having vivid dreams of their dead friends - Tim, trapped in the destroyed Archives, and Sasha, trapped outside of them. As Jon's condition quickly worsens and the line between dream and reality begins to blur, love is all he and Martin have to hold on to, because hope is a dangerous thing.

    Summary

    Jon had searched, at first. He’d scoured every remote corner of the internet, feeling for all the world like Martin falling through that basement window, only ever to resurface empty handed. Then he’d moved on to libraries, public records, museums, and archives. He’d searched.

    But this is not his London, it's been five years, and the part of him that had felt cinched to the Eye like a fish hook through flesh is scarred over like the wound in his chest. The Knowing is gone. Some days Jon still feels like a junkie, hands clammy as he fumbles to light his cigarette at dawn, just as desperate for the fizzing static of Knowledge as if he’d been caught with a needle in his arm.

    There’s nothing here of that world they’d left behind, except Jon, and his scars, and he thinks one day as he butters toast with sweaty palms that he should probably start carving himself as much of a space here as he dares. He’s never had to try before, to leave a mark, because he’d always rather felt marked, and its absence leaves a hollow feeling under his ribcage.


    “Where you go, I go” turns out to be more complicated in execution than in theory, and good things come to those who wait.

    Summary

    you remember this: whispers of blue, honeysuckle on another's breath, and grief impossible to place, as if you've lost something you never had to begin with. perhaps that’s not far from the truth.

    overhead, the fireworks shine, and despite yourself, you start to cry.

    (holloway, duke, and a cycle that never ends)
