Summary
The world ends. Everyone and everything is gone and because of this, there is nothing left to feed the fears or The Archive. They are starving. So the fears send The Archive back in time through one of the few artifacts that still remain.
Though The Archive doesn't know this. It simply thinks that the entities are finally letting it die. It's very wrong with this assumption as he then wakes up in his eight year old body.

Summary
Jon Sims, Barista, has everything he ever wanted: a boring coffee shop managerial position, a quirky friend group of disaffected 20somethings, and a will-they-or-won't-they with the village idiot.
Jon Sims, Barista, does not exist.
Jon Sims the Archivist has everything that doesn't exist: a job at a coffee shop full of horrors that wasn't there yesterday, a tip jar full of worms that seem to follow him, and a heteronormative capitalist future where happiness exists without effort.
Jon Sims is dead. Long live Jon Sims. Long Live The Coffee Shop AU.

Summary
Despite a widespread belief to the contrary that he had taken years to cultivate, Scott was nowhere near as ditzy and airheaded as he appeared. When he followed Pyro and Owen into the woods at night without any weapons on him, he was doing so while being fully aware of his cicerones’ lack of humanity. It just so happened that he liked his odds with them better than with those peasants back in the village who’d accused him of murder after he’d lost sight of Shelby for a couple of hours.
That said, he would have preferred it if they hurried along their little fang-measuring contest, because with the sun still buried deep beyond the horizon, the air was incredibly chilly. It didn’t help that they were on a small island in the middle of a lake, so he was wet as well.
Where was Abolish when he needed a handsome butler to roughly wrap a jacket around his shoulders and complain that he’d lose his job if he died?
-
or, How would the story have unfolded had Pyro's and Scott's roles been reversed?

Summary
Martin couldn’t remember exactly when or why he’d joined the Knights of the Lonely. He supposed that was by design.
Knights of the Lonely weren’t meant to last long. They were built to take blows, and, if necessary, they were built to die. He supposed that suited him fine.
But upon an assignment to escort the Watcher’s betrothed to the Kingdom of Beholding, Martin began to realize that, perhaps, there was something he was missing. Perhaps it was in the shape of a person with bright, intelligent eyes and acerbic wit, with prickly edges and a gentle smile when he thought no one was looking.
There was only one problem. He wasn’t meant to let the Watcher’s betrothed reach the kingdom alive.
Podfic version.

Summary
“'Are you just here to—to make fun of me, then?'
Helen smiled faintly. 'Would you believe me if I said we were here to help you?'
Jon blinked. That made even less sense than the idea that they were treating him as some sort of zoo animal. 'Probably not,' he finally managed. 'Are you?'
Helen tilted her head to the side, seeming to consider her reply. 'That depends on you.'”
Or: the one where, after the archival assistants stage their 'intervention' to stop Jon from taking live statements, a little group of avatars, assembled by Helen, stage a different intervention.
They agree he's making terrible life choices. They have very different opinions about what those terrible life choices are.
(Or: wanna see how many TMA-related heartbreaks I can fix by giving Jon some actual friends?)

Summary
"Jon didn’t know if his marriage was abusive or not. It didn’t matter, though, because he wasn’t trapped. He could leave if he wanted.
But leaving would be giving up Jonah’s gift, and Jon wouldn’t do that. Couldn’t do that. He still had nightmares of teeth and claws and blood, not-quite faded memories of his life before. Jonah had saved him from that, and it was a gift worth the tears and bruises and fear.
Jon’s relationship with Jonah was a delicate balance. If Jonah pushed too hard, Jon would leave. If Jon pushed too hard, Jonah would cast him out. The threat of their arrangement coming to an end was enough to keep them both in line."
Jon is stuck with a jealous, cruel sorcerer husband. And then a baker moves into town.

miles to go before I sleep by WordsInTimeAndSpace

Summary
All Jon wants is a quiet life, far away from Elias’ clutches - even if it means living in a drafty old cottage isolated from the next village. Jon is a mage, after all, and people are reasonable to fear both him and the patron who grants Jon his powers. But then there’s Tim, who greets Jon with nothing but kindness, and when Tim asks for help Jon finds himself unable to say no.
Together, they embark on a journey to find Tim’s missing brother. A journey that turns out to be more dangerous than they expected, and that leads Jon right back to the horrors he tried so long to escape. Thankfully, having a friend at his side might make all the difference.

Summary
Lost and alone at the end of the world, Jon decides to try one last idea. It goes wrong, as his ideas usually do, when both the Web and the Spiral decide to interfere with what he's doing. For once the disaster goes his favor. Mostly.
He wouldn't have chosen to go back in time to when he was eight years old. He certainly wouldn't have chosen to catch Elias freaking Bouchard's attention before he's had a chance to do anything. And he cannot believe that his luck is so monumentally bad that he gets adopted by the man who wants to use him to end the world.
Jon has to figure out how to keep Elias away, while saving his friends and the world. And hopefully growing old enough that he can go anywhere on his own and be taken seriously.

Summary
“He just showed up the other day for the first time in, so far as I can tell, ever, and no one thinks it’s even a little bit weird? Something’s not right.”
Martin paused for a moment.
Jon was, of course, hoping in vain that his pointing it out would bring some sudden revelation, and then the two would set out with some half-brained scheme to Expose Michael For What He Really Was. They would go and tell Tim, who would tell Sasha, and it would be rather like old times: the four of them charging recklessly into something bigger than they understood, and coming away with some wild memory of their recent escapade, or something new and terrible and grand to ponder, or the truth, or whatever it was they went looking for.
But Martin just said, “Jon, are you sure you’re feeling alright?” and Jon sighed.

Summary
Jschlatt attempts to start anew and live a life he always dreamt of, a peaceful, calm retirement. It seemed like luck was on his side when he moved to his new apartment with pretty cheap rent and a lovely view of the beach.
With every good luck Schlatt gained, there was always disaster looming right behind him. It did not come in the form of his annoying neighbour, Quackity. Nor the weird disappearances plaguing the small town and the sudden increase of white robots montioring all the residents in QSMP.
It was a fragile beam of light smashing onto his newly painted balcony. The light faded to reveal an angel and a very annoyingly loud one that needed constant supervision.
────────────────────────
𝗧𝗗𝗟𝗥 : A banished angel!Katie crash-lands into Schlatt's property and learns everything from scratch to be a proper human from her father-but-not-so-father-figure Schlatt. While also making sure the federation doesn't find out her existance.
