Summary
Alternative title: Tommy going through the fears (yes, all 15)
Tommy has been through a lot.
In fact, he's gone through enough for me to find at least one (arguably canon or canon-compliant) instance of every fear category from The Magnus Archives.This started as a joke (see working title) and turned into more of a writing exercise. Every paragraph (excluding the first and last) correlates to one of The Fears. First I wanted to stick to just Smirke's original Fourteen, but then I thought of something for the Extinction, so that's here too. You don't need to be familiar with The Magnus Archives to read this.
If I need to add or chance a tag, please tell me (preferably with an explanation for future reference).

Summary
Avid convinced himself to go back to town six times as he stumbled through the underbrush, tripping over rotten logs and smacking his face into needled branches. But each time he turned to go back (because being alone in these woods was stupid) he saw Sausage avert his eyes, Martyn shrug with an apologetic wince, and Drift stare at him silently.

Avid doesn't go back to Oakhurst.

Summary
Delusions. Jon had been dealing with delusions since he was a child, around seven or eight. He would lay awake until two or three in the morning, staring at the window, chest heavy with the absolute certain knowledge that somebody was about to break in and kill him and his grandmother. He had tried to warn her—of course he had tried to warn her—but she didn’t listen. So he would sit, tears in his eyes and stuffed rabbit clutched to his chest, waiting for the moment when somebody broke in with a knife.

Summary
He fell into a deep bow, smiling the whole while. “I’m the ringmaster, of course.”
“Is that skin— Is it yours?” Old wood groaned as the Archivist shifted his weight. “Originally.”
“It is!” the ringmaster said as he swooped back upright. “Nikola decided I wore it well, so she let me keep it. Why do you ask?”
The Archivist gave him another once-over. “You just… you look familiar. Like someone I know.”
On relearning, reconnecting, and redefining.
