Summary
It was all an act. A ruse. A plan formed off of the slightest hint of suspicion. And by God, it worked.
John wasn’t a smoker.
He’d sworn off cigarettes.
So what had he been doing when he left Leitner alone in the tunnels?AKA: John’s curiosity is a bit more sinister.
A prequel to WhyNotFly’s ‘And In the Distance, Thunder!’

Summary
I'm writing gratuitous whump because I wanted "The Magic Shop" by WhyNotFly to contain more content. Read their fic for this to make sense.
The Archivist is a millennia-old magic being who is also having a bad time. Martin is a 22-year-old office worker who is doing his best.
UPDATE: I started writing this while quarantining in my room with COVID. I stopped when my sniffles turned into long COVID. I had to start using a mobility aid and transitioned from receiving part-time care to having two full-time caregivers. For better and for worse, I'm a different person than I was when I started this project. I hope to return to it, but I'm not sure when I'll have it in me to do so. I so appreciate everyone's encouragement and support; writing has really helped me through this tough life transition!

Summary
Tucked among the rolling hills of Dorset lies a little village where everyone knows everyone. The name Elias Bouchard is a prominent one—he owns the manor house by the river, has been married 13 years, and is the reigning champion of the town bake-off. Who could blame Jon for having a tiny crush?
For Elias’s birthday, Jon makes something very special.
Perhaps he’ll get something in return.

Summary
Jon wants to go outside.
He doesn’t remember outside, but he hears about it; listens to the whispered secrets of faded pages beneath his hands, traces the ink like they’re blades of grass beneath his toes. The walls of his room watch him, unseeing eyes with mouths full of dark, grey concrete. They say nothing, and he says nothing back.
Maybe it would have been better if he never got what he wanted.

Summary
(Fan Podfic)
Our Lady of the Black boarding school is for special children with unique emotional needs. Phobias. Obsessions. Childhood can be a struggle for a young thing with a wild imagination. They need to learn that there is nothing out there in the darkness.
After his encounter with Mr. Spider leaves Jon a troubled child, his grandmother decides it's just the place for Jonathan.

Summary
“No. I’m going to feed you.”
“Excuse me?”
“You heard me.”
The air buzzes between them. Elias is staring at him, his face infuriatingly serious, like feeding his employee is an eminently normal thing to do at 10PM on a Thursday. Or any time, really.

Summary
Eight small stories set in different universes.
Day 1: Prequel to Blackwood Investigations. In the middle of his investigation, Jon meets familiar eyes in the crowd. A Noir AU.
Day 2: A conversation about taxes takes an interesting turn. Pure decadent fluff.
Day 3: Elias wishes he still only felt hatred for the man chosen to bring his God to the world. A Cult AU.
Day 4: Jon pays a visit to Elias, if only because he has to (perhaps because he wants to). A HP AU.
Day 5: At the end of a party, Elias gently sets to remind Jon who he belongs to (as if Jon could ever forget.)
Day 6: Elias only ever wants to help Jon. Even through unconventional means. Season 2, canon-compliant.
Day 7: Jon flees monsterhood by becoming the plaything of another monster. Jon/Peter AU.
Day 8: In his own way, Jonah is trying to bring back some happiness into his Archive's eyes. -
Those poisonous truths by RavenXavier for WhyNotFly

Summary
“I can be as monstrous as you imagine me to be,” he whispered, pressing a kiss over Jon’s burning cheek. “I can be the evil king of your fairy tale. Keeping you trapped in the tower just for my cruel, sinful enjoyment.”
Elias finds Jon on his doorstep at the end of a day already full of surprises. This one he does not mind so much.

Summary
"Jon did not fit here, Elias noted without sentiment. Everything in the flat was elegant, pristine, sharp; Jon was none of that – or rather he could have been, but the potential was buried under a fluttery mess of emotions and chaotic thoughts that overwhelmed him on a regular basis."
A few months after hiring Jonathan Sims, Elias takes the liberty to invite him to his flat.
