Summary
'Something crashes into the fence at the bottom of the garden, making the hanging baskets of dried-up flowers that Jon hasn't had the presence of mind to remove sway against the wood. He thumbs the tape recorder off and shoves it into the pocket of his jacket, finding his feet on the patio. The penknife feels pitifully miniscule in his fingers, so he exchanges it for the pipe.
More banging, and one of the fence panels starts to buckle, the wood splintering in sharp snaps.
'Hello?' Jon calls out, finding his tone strangely polite even now, devoid of either the fear or the righteous anger he feels. 'Are you-?'
Alive? A person?'
Or, the one with all the zombies.

A Matter of Diplomacy (Swords and Fire AU) by CirrusGrey
Fandom The Magnus Archives (Podcast)
03 Oct 2020
Summary
Swords and Fire is a book trilogy written by Melissa Caruso. This series is set in that world, though minor (and some major) alterations have been made so that it suits the TMA characters better.
This series is intended to be read in chronological order, and the later installments will probably not make much sense without reading the prior ones first.

It's Not Living If It's Not with You by novasuper

Summary
“Martin… You’re not, uh…” Jon rubs a self-conscious hand over the back of his neck, naturally unsure about the proper way to broach the subject of one’s possible death. “You didn’t die here, did you?”
Martin swallows. “I… did, actually?” He says, his brows shooting up with an apologetic smile. He sounds as though he thinks he’s done something wrong somehow by dying.
Jon can see dead people. Martin is haunting his new flat.
Well. They're gonna have to make it work, somehow.Bookmarked by starrytree

Summary
He turns into a rampaging wolf on the full moon, he feasts on the blood of the living, could I make it any more obvious?
Or, in which Martin had been enjoying his anonymous life in the IT department of world famous supernatural tabloid The Magnus Institute where no one cared that he has to leave early on the nights of the full moon, but is involuntarily transferred to the graveyard shift in the archive, which he really should have guessed by the name is run by a stuffy vampire who wants absolutely none of any of this whatsoever. Shenanigans ensue.
At least their weapons of office warfare had been reduced to garlic knots and dog whistles instead of silver bullets and wooden stakes.

the aches between missed connections (the beautiful devastation of meeting you again) by epilobium
Fandoms: The Magnus Archives (Podcast)

Summary
Jon's been going about his life and his schooling the same way he always has — overworking himself to exhaustion and attempting to ignore the phantom pains he experiences (though there's one ache that always takes him out for the day, a blinding pain in his chest just above his heart that doctors have assured him is no cause for alarm).
One late night, while doing work for his literature course, something strange happens. He brushes it off, but when the same thing keeps happening, maybe Jon has to admit there's something going on.
or
Jon and Martin will find each other, no matter where they go.

Summary
Jon sends the fears far from Earth and flees London, leaving the others to assume the worst. He settles in a small village and opts to live there quietly until he dies, a self-imposed penance. This plan is foiled when the first former Avatar shows up - and Jon realizes that every domain-keeper in the apocalypse still has some faint connection to him.
After a year of being a shoulder to cry on for confused and distraught former Avatars, Jon leads a moderately happy life. He has a flourishing garden, a cat, and some company. All of that comes crashing around his ears (or his head) when a familiar face shows up to his cabin, demanding answers.

Summary
“Recording ends.” Jon hits the stop button on the recorder and stares at Martin, an unreadable expression on his face. Martin fidgets and tries not to squirm under the scrutiny. Jon rarely brings himself to look at Martin directly and when he does, his expressions range between mild irritation on good days and complete exasperation on bad ones, expressions Martin has no trouble interpreting, thank you very much. This look is something altogether different.
OR let the archive staff give each other some goddamn hugs once in a while.
