  Summary

  Nonetheless, here he is. Walking into his new archives. A place Elias is… strangely fond of. The pressure on Jon’s shoulder mounts. Elias expects him to right this place. And… that’s one hell of a task. The place is already a mess and he hasn’t even gone into the storage closet, full of filing cabinets with statements crammed into every small space between the walls, cabinets draws and so forth, with no rhyme or reason for *why* they’re here to begin with.

  This is… not going to be an easy task to say the least

  AKA:
  another time travel fic! Because apparently, there are not enough! Just to warn you, this has no update schedule or plan for it, I’m figuring this story out along the way. As well as how to use this site. So!

  I hope you enjoy this… concoction of a special interest and an interest in writing (badly)!
