    Summary

    This is Tim, opening the door enough for his tired, careworn face to peer through the crack; Jon sees the genuine horror on his face as he takes in his boss, bloody on his doorstep, and he thinks– maybe– he thinks he might be safe here.

     

    “Christ.”

    Summary

    Jon finds Gertrude's statement under the floorboards of his office. Elias tries to intervene, too late; Jon's not going to let it go.

    Elias doesn't mind eliminating people who get in his way.

    He's less clear on how to proceed when they show up to work the following morning.

    (If there's one thing Jon excels at, after all, it's refusing to let go.)

    Summary

    It was easier to treat Jon like a monster when he wasn’t shivering against his back, brokenly humming—wait, was that…

    “Are you trying to do ‘Hey, Jude’?” Tim demanded.

    Jon stopped, stiffening. “Mm hrmh mm mmh hm,” he said defensively.

    “You really can’t hold a tune, can you, boss?”

    *

    It was just an ordinary walk to a restaurant. Tim had insisted that if they were going to talk, there would be no tape recorders or weird Archives ghosts listening in. A bit of fresh air wouldn’t kill him, Tim had said. What could go wrong?

    By the time Jon spots the white delivery van, it’s much too late.

    The Stranger kidnaps Jon. Tim comes along for the ride.

    Summary

    Tim worries.

    Jon is clearly afraid that Tim might not come back from this, but meanwhile, there are far too many scenarios in Tim's mind where Jon is the one who doesn't make it out.

    He's determined not to let that happen. He spent every day for over a month forced to watch what Nikola did to Jon, unable to stop her, unable to help. He's not going to let that happen again.

    Tim is here to take down the Circus. But he'll be damned if he lets them take Jon down with them.

    After escaping from their ordeal with the Circus, things between Tim and Jon are...better. A lot better.

    But Nikola is still out there, and the Unknowing is still going to happen, unless they manage to stop it. And both Tim and Jon are desperate to make sure that the other makes it out alive.

    (A continuation/extrapolation of "The Kindness of Strangers")

    Update: Now with a small bonus scene of the aftermath of the Unknowing, with a bit of jonmartin.
