    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

    Not too long after Jon and Basira return from Ny-Ålesund, a Leitner that forces its reader to always tell the truth works its way into the Institute, and it's only a matter of time before our dear Archivist accidentally (well. Sort of.) finds himself cursed by it. Any question asked of him produces a fully truthful answer, and the more he tries to resist, the more honest and personal the confessions become. Can he and the Archives staff fix this while he still has some secrets left to himself? Or will they succumb completely to their oldest and toughest enemy: direct communication.
