Summary
When Henry found out one of the biggest tournaments in Bohemia would be held in Kuttenberg in a couple days he decided to sign up. As a faceless black knight.
After all, Hans was busy charming local lords and he had nothing better to do.
What he didn't expect was that the black knight would catch his lord's attention. Nor that he wouldn't be able to stop himself from responding.

“So can we keep him?”
‘Grunkle Stan’ sighs heavily. “Kid, he’s literally a lump on the ground.”
“So? We’ve all been lumps on the ground at one point or another,” Mabel counters, which is a very good point in Jon’s opinion.

The Reminiscences of Martin Blackwood, Post Mortem by AuralQueer
Fandoms: The Magnus Archives (Podcast)
14 Feb 2020
Tags
Summary
Martin Blackwood is a reporter for The Observer newspaper. He’s a normal enough man, and he’d like to keep it that way. He doesn’t have much reason to suspect anything too far out of the ordinary when he heads down to University College Hospital on a hunch to visit the man who may or may not be dead.
The man’s name is Jonathan Sims: a failed academic by all accounts, though what he’d been doing before the explosion that threw him into a six month coma is at the mercy of baseless public speculation. Now he’s lying in an empty ward with no heartbeat, dreaming.
It seems like enough to fill a slow news day.
A Victorian AU. Herein lies artistic licence, ghosts, and the slowest burn you ever did see.

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.- Language:

“This isn’t what I wanted to talk about. Give me idle gossip or give me death.”
“I’m in love with you,” Jon blurts out without thinking.
There’s a pause, and then Martin simply says, “Christ, Jon, you’re really bad at this.”
institute employees on the run and temporarily out of the proverbial woods, what ooey-gooey crimes will they commit? post-159, obligatory scotland safe house fic, pretty much just a lot of tenderness and love and fluff.Series

Summary
After the events of the Unknowing, Jon is furious to find Peter Lukas running the Institute, and even more so to find Lukas has sent one of his own to work down in the archives. But upon meeting Martin Blackwood, Jon finds himself drawn to him, against his better judgement. Blackwood's allegiances lie with Lukas, after all. Or so he thinks.
But when Blackwood offers a deal--mutually beneficial and far too good to be true, Jon accepts.

Summary
I hope you find your new role as Head of the Institute as rewarding as captaining the Tundra, wrote Elias Bouchard, to Peter Lukas. There are so many people working there: all with their own interesting lives, and all desiring your attention and support. I'm sure you will relish the challenge it will bring and enjoy every moment spent with the fine men and women of the Institute. In time I'm confident they'll become like a family to you.
The Magnus Institute has a new boss.
The Magnus Institute also has a new tech support technician.
These two facts are unrelated, except they both happen at the same time.Meanwhile Jon's woken up from being dead for six months and for once he's trying his best. He just wishes Martin would stop avoiding him and answer his messages...

Summary
Letters-in-a-bottle are romantic, but impractical. They rarely find someone to read them, much less the intended recipient. Especially when there's no recipient in mind. Sometimes, though, people manage to start up a correspondence in the strangest of circumstances.
or
Martin is a fisherman. Jon is a fish. It's a forbidden romance for the ages.

Summary
Maybe we’ll end up somewhere else.
The Panopticon crumbles. Jon bleeds and bleeds and bleeds in Martin’s arms.
There’s a feeling like nothing Martin is capable of describing; something beyond the scope of the language he as at his disposal. All he has is this: the world pulls itself apart around him.
Something ends. Something starts again.
Then Martin wakes up.

Summary
I've recently been unexpectedly promoted to lead a department in my organisation, wrote the anonymous emailer.
As there was no one working here when I arrived, my manager, who is head of the organisation, had promised me the choice of my own assistants. However, without warning, he simply presented me with an additional assistant. This new assistant’s first act on his first day was to let a dog into the office. It took several hours to catch and clean up after this dog and it has only been downhill from there. I admit I'm not entirely sure what to do with this assistant now I'm stuck with him. I'm hoping you have some advice?
Kind regards,
New ManagerAbigail Bailey runs a successful management advice blog. One frequent contributor is from a workplace with some... issues.

Summary
Martin finds them eventually, tapered white wax, twenty or thirty of them beside a box of ancient (but dry) matches, and a little brass dish with a slot that just about fits the base of the candle. He feels like Scrooge, fitting the whole thing together, tucking a few more into his pocket before striking a match -
Which immediately goes out.
“Oh, fuck you,” Martin says into the murk.
Again -
And again, the fire vanishes. Quick and efficient as a breath. He shivers in the sudden cold.
***
Martin Blackwood inherits an old country house, but there are more inhabitants than he first realises. When eventually the paranormal occurrences become too frequent and dangerous for him to ignore, he has to turn to a group of misfit ghost hunters for help.

Summary
These days, most everybody in camp had learned to wave away Astarion’s advances with a laugh. They found the flirtation titillating, Gale figured, or a bit threatening, or some combination of the two. He wondered if anybody else found it sad.

Summary
After Gale accused Astarion of cheating at cards, the rogue picked up an interest in learning lanceboard to challenge the wizard at his game of preference. To sweeten the deal and make things more interesting, the two have agreed that the victor wins a favor from the loser.
The quiet, slow deliberateness made in each move by Gale was gone now. Astarion had fallen into the wizard's trap and he was starting to see there would be no way out of it. All of the vampire's moves would be made out of a desperate clumsy attempt to protect his king and prolong its downfall. "Razor's Edge to queen's bishop two."
He continued his oration as he reached over, an index finger resting on a pawn. "Because sometimes, that small victory is enough to give them the momentum to keep going forward. The resolve of man to survive against all odds – fascinating, wouldn't you agree?" He moved the pawn diagonal, replacing Astarion's pawn with his own, inching ever so closer to the black side of the board. Once more, his bishop had a clear shot to his Cyric. "Pawn to queen's knight seven. Check."

After finding himself nestled amongst a group of a adventurers, Gale is drawn like a moth to a flame to the mysterious pale elf.
~~
He wanted to know more about him – he needed to. He wasn’t sure if it was the charm or the mysterious air Astarion played up that peaked his interest more, but Gale was eager to pry him open – to get past that book cover and discover what secret knowledge he would uncover in those pages.Series
