    Summary

    Somewhere Else isn't right, and they've never talked about what happened in the Panopticon, but so what? They're together. The Fears aren’t gone, no, but behind a curtain, subdued.

    Martin actually loves the small-village life, farming and friends and found family. Jon is... managing. They're making it work.

    But the universe they landed in is occupied, and its current rulers are very interested in the new kids. Entities made of Fear, attached to a damaged ex-human and his surprisingly sneaky lover? Who could resist playing with that?

    Everyone has plans, and plans under those plans. What happens when a web grows too heavy to support its own weight?

    "Tears and blood, blood and tears," says Kayne.

    He is not wrong.

    Now with FANART! Ahh! It will be posted in the final chapter, because it's spoilerific, but ahh! Thank you, Pikachic!

    Summary

    "Martin, what's a 'Zoom'?"
    "On- on a... camera?"
    "No, on a computer."
    "Wh-? Oh.
    Oh. It's this, um, video calling thing."

    Martin has a lot of jobs to do, as Peter's assistant. Some of them are more difficult than others.

    Summary

    Hi Jon and all,
    I would like to extend my congratulations, I suppose, to you Mr. Sims. You have reached 500 complaints here at HR! I have never seen this happen before, except for the researcher in Artifact Storage who found a Leitner that made everyone think she was assaulting them constantly. In your three years as the Head Archivist, you received these complaints from over 130 people.

    I almost fell off the couch laughing at this one.

    Summary

    I'm sure given your position you already know about the advent of the General Data Protection Regulation next year, wrote Peter Lukas, to Elias Bouchard. However, the Lukas family wishes to be crystal clear that our continued investment is contingent upon the Institute taking its responsibilities with regards to privacy and confidentiality seriously.

    The Magnus Institute hires a Data Protection Officer. He sets about diligently booking in meetings, writing policy documents, and training all the staff in the importance of confidentiality. Now if only he could get hold of the Head Archivist, who seems to have vanished again...

    (Jon is only trying to save the world, but apparently some people think he should still be doing his day job.)

    Summary

    Fun fact: interview-based research typically has to go through ethical review, and while oral histories have generally been exempt, that is less and less the case.

    Another fun fact: Tim is no longer allowed to fill out paperwork.

    A fic so good it inspired an entire subgenre around the red tape that the Magnus Institute has to deal with regularly.
