children of dust and shadow
Gerry dropped back and crossed his legs in front of him, resting his elbows on his knees and his face in his hands. “What are you, then?”
“I’m sorry?”
“I’m not stupid.” Gerry frowned. “You’re obviously not human. What are you?”
“I…” his mouth opened, shut, opened again, his expression settling into a deep, grasping uncertainty. He seemed to deflate in on himself, like a balloon losing all of its air. “I’m…Jon, I suppose. Just Jon.”
Gerry squinted suspiciously. “That just sounds like a name.”
Jon gave him a look like he thought Gerry was being a bit stupid. “Because it is.”
Gerry bristled. “Listen, you’re obviously some sort of...time-traveling thing or whatever—”
“It’s not like I can control it!” Jon snapped, quick and instinctive. “Look, what I really want is to find Martin, and I have no idea what’s going on, and—oh you’ve got to be joking—”
With a flash of weight and not-light and a rush of unwinding, Jon was gone again.
Gerry leaned back on his hands for a moment, studying the place where Jon had just vanished. He glanced across the street to confirm the fact that the man standing there hadn’t noticed, before letting out a soft huff of disbelieving laughter.

Chapter seven... the real chapter seven is now up ..
In this chapter :
Is that a dog ?
Editor- In -beef
Klingons-on-the-cha-cha-slide asked:
So I hooked up with my best friend last night, it was nice, but I’m really hung up on someone else.
Have I totally screwed the whole thing up?
A:
Buckle up for a bumpy ride. 
The bestie is always a grey area, what sort of relationship do you have normally? 
Is it friends with benefits? 
Are they looking for more than that?
If you’re hung up on someone else, what were you looking to get out of it? 
Personally, I'd invite them around to yours for mario kart, a kebab and a couple of pints and talk about it. 
Maybe they just needed someone in the heat of the moment.
Maybe something else is niggling away behind it all.
Do not… I can not make this any more clear.
                    Do not…. Shag and run.
If you do kindly unfollow me .

Rewrite the Rule Book
Synopsis:
"Look, it's- I have to go home for the weekend, it's mum's sixtieth, and I... I told her I was bringing a date. And now Tim can't come, so yeah, you could say I'm a fair amount of stressed about it!" 
"Why was Tim going?" 
"Because I haven't got a date, have I?" 
"Then why even say you had one?" 
"Panic! Bloody panic! I've been out since I was fifteen and never once actually brought someone home- I was... I wanted to seem like I had my life together. Maybe make an aunt uncomfortable. Mainly I just... I think I just wanted someone to be there with me, so I wasn't just alone with her the entire time."
"... I could go with you. If you want."
Martin needs a date for a family event. Jon somehow stumbles into volunteering. Fake dating au from someone who hates fake dating aus. Deep talks about identity, gender and aro/ace spec-ness WILL be had. There will be handholding abound, and nothing more until we TALK ABOUT OUR FEELINGS 
Rating: Teen
Pairings: Jonathan Sims/Martin Blackwood
Author Intro:
@radiosandrecordings : I detest fake dating aus. Which is a strange thing, considering that’s what I’m writing here. I take a hammer and fix the fake dating au… I just want nice things for Jon and for everybody to talk about their boundaries and feelings. Is that too much to ask?
Artist Intros:
@iamthehelperdog​ : hello I'm your local dumbass who dies first in the horror movie! I like walking places in the dark and poking weird things with sticks! Hmu if you need someone to go check out that mysterious sound that's probably just the wind.
@corvidtowers​ : hi im hound! i do art and i am gay. i saw fluff and my gay heart screamed. i desperately want to h/ld h/nds with a boy but i cant
@dont-taunt-the-octopus : Hey I’m Ren I make a lot of dad jokes and I’m here because I also want nice things for Jon.

Till Death, Parted
Synopsis:
Jon gets caught after ripping out Gerry's page by Trevor & Julia, and through a comedy of errors ends up engaged as an excuse. Somehow, Jon gets out alive, Gerry is freed, and they have the two hunters accompanying them as bodyguards - and as best man and best woman - without a fight. Well. That's not so bad, and it's not like Jon actually has feelings for the man he hoped was alive and wanted to meet and who was more honest with him than anyone else has been and is now worried for his safety and willing to fake a relationship together, or anything. That would be ridiculous. Jon's not THAT desperate for support, understanding, and companionship, right? Right. Living alone in Gerry's London safe house afterwards will be totally fine. Jon is fine. He knows what coping is and everything! Totally fine.

Rule #7 under no circumstances fall for a coworker.  
Yeah, that rule was starting to become a problem.

First Aid
Synopsis:
Jon is sure that Martin has been acting strangely all morning. And when Martin offhandedly mentions he took a nasty fall while on the way to work, Jon suddenly Knows that Martin got a nasty fracture in his arm. Despite his desperate pleading, Martin stubbornly refuses to let Jon drive him to the hospital. In fact, it seems he would much rather take care of it himself than have Jon worry and fuss over him.

your job’s a joke (you’re broke)
Synopsis: 
Working at the Magnus Institute was stressful by default. With monsters, mayhem, and potential primordial entities, it has very little expectations for being a comfortable job. However, everyone is allowed to have a little fun sometimes - even an archivist, their assistants, and their really creepy boss. Fueled by spite and a rampant lack of heterosexuality, they all try to balance their work life with a bit of fun and a healthy dose of bullying twelve-times divorced Elias Bouchard.

Running the Institute
Synopsis: 
The regular workers of the Institute have to put up with a lot. Caroline Ferguson, the Institute’s Legal consultant is practically a professional at ignoring supernatural weirdness buried under bureaucracy. Doesn’t mean it isn’t still a pain to work in the Magnus Institute what with Artefact Storage’s NDAs, questionable employee behavior at Christmas parties and that’s not even going into the workplace murders.

tapes winding forward
Synopsis:
Martin gets a closer look at the calendar, and his breath catches in his throat. He's gotten a look at the year, and it's wrong, it's all wrong. 2018. October, 2018. Right there, in Martin's own handwriting, on a Saturday, he's written things on little dates that Martin can't read, because he can't take his eyes off the year. 2018. 2018. They look differently. They have scars they don't recognize. Their hair is longer. 2018. 
Martin seizes the calendar off the fridge and goes back into the living room. Jon's still at the coffee table, poking through the tapes piled there, but he looks up when Martin comes back in and says, "Martin, where…" with a familiar bite in his voice.
Martin ignores him, stops him mid-sentence to say, "Jon, what have you heard about time travel?"
---
Martin and Jon wake up two years in the future. It goes about as well as can be expected.

Spinning 'Round (like two sides of a coin)

we merely coexisted. almost met, but always missed it | Time is a construct. What we know as past, present, and future all exist at the same time, ad infinitum. • Guided not by time but a spoken word poem, follow along the lives of two intertwined souls, Timothy Stoker and Sasha James. The story of their friendship from the time they meet, through growing apart, to when they fall back together, and through their time working at the Magnus Institute. Witness slices of their lives—not memories, memories would suggest the past—as they exist, ad infinitum, even at The End.
