    Summary

    “He was born. He was pointless. And he should’ve died.”

    Michael Shelley knows very little. The main points of his knowledge can be summarised as follows:

    One: He is, as far as he knows, still Michael–although this is dubious, and perhaps does not count.
    Two: The world that he lives in is not what he thought it was. It never has been, and it never will be again.
    Three: He cannot, in any circumstances from now until the end of days, trust Gertrude Robinson.

    An AU in which the Great Twisting crumbled before Michael could be consumed by The Distortion–and he emerges, alive and angry about it. Alternatively, an AU in which Gertrude begins to work on her theories about the rituals much, much earlier, and Gerry finds himself chasing the mystery that is Michael Shelley.

    Summary

    Neil wasn't surprised in the least to find a grown — but short — man laying down in the empty stall, not with the way Katana was dancin' in her own. He was, however, surprised to see the man was naked as the day he was born, and brandishing a hoof pick like a knife out in front of him. Pallid and sweating, he looked like he done fell face-down in a sticker patch and run over by cows. Neil stared at him, unbothered, and the man said raggedly, "Back the hell up. I will hurt you."

    Neil snorted. "Not like that, you won't," he answered. "You mean to cause any trouble?" Neil asked him, eyeing him critically. "Or you just need some hair'a the dog 'fore I call someone to come collect your sorry ass?"

    The man glared up at Neil, but Neil didn't back down. "I could stab you right now," the man threatened, but his tone was sullen, almost chastened. Neil snorted again and the man shifted and winced. "Just give me a minute," he said eventually.

    "Sure," Neil nodded. "You take your time. But touch any of my critters or my kids, and I'll shoot you dead, you hear me?"

    Summary

    “…You want me to get close to them,” Gerard says, slowly.

    “In a manner of speaking,” Gertrude replies.

    Gerard pauses, considering her words. It takes him a minute to even begin to formulate a response but he manages. Incredulously, he asks, “Are you telling me you want me to try and seduce the Distortion?”

    Summary

    The year is 2011. Michael Shelley is living his life in circles, blissfully unaware of the betrayal that awaits him in the summer. Gertrude Robinson has plans to enact and plans to destroy. Emma Harvey is hiding a book in the dark place at the back of a cupboard.

    When Gerard Keay walks into the Magnus Institute - two years sooner than he was meant to - everything changes.

    This is an (eventual) Archivist Michael AU, exploring how certain events might have played out, had one key player been in the wrong place at the wrong time.
