    Summary

    I don’t know who they were, exactly. Someone the Fears couldn’t touch, someone who stood at the edge of every catastrophe: too far to stop it, too close to be saved. But I think they were trying to help. And I think it cost them everything.

    (This is a Second Person POV reader-insert about a reader that is immune to the Fears :))

    Summary

    Working at the Magnus Institute is strange. One day it’s tea and biscuits. The next, it’s your domineering boss with the glowing eyes warning you to stay out of his business. Still, the company’s not bad. Tim cracks jokes. Sasha sneaks some of your food. Martin has far too many feelings. Jon...well, he’s trying.

     

    A series of (mostly) quiet found family-type moments between you and the other staff of the Magnus Institute who make life in the middle of cosmic horror bearable.

    Summary

    The heating breaks at the Magnus Institute. Everyone else stays home. You stay behind.

    Warmth is hard to come by, but not impossible. Maybe you can find more in Jon’s office than shared silence and small glances.

    Your head felt like a pinball machine as the reality of your new position bumped around in your thought space unendingly, unable to settle into a pocket of reality where this new opportunity made sense.

    Summary

    Make your choices. Face your fear. Date your colleagues. Hug Martin. Punch Elias. Enjoy Sky Blue. Or other combinations*.

    A love letter to the fandom in the form of a perfectly serious, utterly indulgent fanservice self-insert Archive simulator, using the ChoiceOf game system.

    (*You can't punch Martin.)
    (You also can't quite kiss a full-out monstery monster so far, but I'm working on it.)
