    Summary

    On the way to work, a flashing orange sign says ROAD WORK AHEAD. KEEP LEFT. YOU ARE DYING. He puts on his turn signal and merges on the empty road.

    ———

    There's only so much you can endure before the crazy starts to seem reasonable. Owen needs to make a decision before time runs out.

    Summary

    "Kanade, I bought you something."
    "Huh?"
    "A toy duck."
    "Ah... I think I used to play with one of those during baths when I was little..."
    "Should we look at it together?"
    "We're... already looking at it?"
    "Then, will you take a bath with me?"

    When a collapse sparks a terror in Mafuyu that words can't express, she speaks instead through relentless, physical fluff.
    (tl;dr mafuyu is touch-starved and kanade is the densest dumb dumb to ever exist)

    Summary

    It shouldn’t have been surprising to learn that Martin hated him. He had been, he knew, a truly terrible boss - he’d treated Martin horribly, caused him to lose his home, nearly gotten him killed. Really, it had been ridiculous to ever think that Martin wouldn’t hate him.

    Still, Jon had been trying, in his own way, to make it up to him. There wasn’t exactly a card at the drugstore that said, “I’m sorry I berated you for six months and caused you to nearly be eaten by a swarm of worms of potentially supernatural origin,” but he’d been trying. He brought Martin breakfast every morning, made sure the breakroom cabinets were stocked with his favorite blends of tea, and had tried to work some genuine praise into his feedback of Martin’s work. None of it was the direct apology that his conscience told him he really ought to give, but Martin had appreciated it. Or seemed to, anyway.

    Jon wasn’t certain what motivated the decision he made next - whether it was guilt or spite or something else. He could, he knew, be quite petty when the situation called for it. Either way, he made up his mind then and there to prove Martin wrong. He was going to be the best fake boyfriend he could be.

    Summary

    “Do you know much about cataloguing?” Jon asks, a little out of breath from the stairs.

    Martin, mid-trolley, rolls his eyes. The gesture he makes at the shelves around him is only emphasised by the book he’s holding.

    “What exactly do you think I do here, other than sit around and wait for angry patrons to yell at me?”

    “Think of what you’re going to yell back?” Jon says, and Martin’s mouth twitches into a smile.

    -

    Asking the very important question: what if Jon and Martin had a gentle archives/library romance, and kept running into tropes? What if there was mutual pining involved? Only one bed? Fake dating? Hurt/comfort? Or perhaps, a soft and happy ending?

    Summary

    "Mrrrrow."

    Jon jerked out of his reverie and shot a terrified glance around him. In the corner of the courtyard, squeezed between a terracotta pot and a wall, two flashing yellow eyes peered out at him from the darkness.

    "Oh," he sighed, deflating with fleeing adrenaline. "You're back."

    Jon saves a stray cat from being trapped at the Institute. It's the least he can do.

    this fucking broke me what is wrong with you. new martin design headcanon: "His form was uncertain, the edges of him smeared into the background. He looked like a photo of Martin taken out of focus. Not the real, living person—just a fading memory that Jon couldn't quite grasp."

    AND BASIRA CHARACTERIZATION OOOOOGGGHHHH I LOVE HER SO MUCH
