Summary
there are plenty of things that machines aren’t supposed to do. machines, and war machines especially, are meant to perform their duties. that was it— no more, no less.
but v1 is many things: a learning machine, a war machine, a ‘v’ model, a contradiction. and the longer it spends with gabriel, the more it finds itself breaking expectations.

Santa Claus, a dangerous Avatar of the Eye…

Merry Christmas everyone! This fic was born out of my Fiancé and I pissing ourselves laughing at the concept of Elias having to justify why fighting Santa Claus wasn’t that ridiculous 200 years ago since he wasn’t all that popular back then without giving away that he is, in fact, Jonah Magnus.
The tone sort of continues from there, enjoy the Christmas Crack!Bookmarked by garfbutch

Summary
Jon was barely 3 shots in and the combination of xanax and alcohol – stupid, irresponsible – had significantly lessening the knot lodged in his chest. The light in his office had taken a hazy tinge. The bottle was cool under his fingers. He was just – there. At his desk, where he was supposed to be. Sort of. It was a bit late.
essentially 'what if jon stayed late and made a bad choice and also forgot martin was living in the archives now oops' aka there is no way mr. guilty conscious himself didn't feel partially responsible for martin getting trapped by Prentis
