    Summary

    The first time it happens, Jon can easily brush it off.

    Is it… expected? No. Normal? Certainly not. But nearly anything is easy to brush off when it happens just once. Even if his heart speeding up at just a brush of contact is odd and unheard of.

    So the first time, that's exactly what Jon does.

    The second time, and so on, and so on? Not so much.

    or: Martin and Jon fall in love at a normal office job, this time.

    Summary

    Jon sends the fears far from Earth and flees London, leaving the others to assume the worst. He settles in a small village and opts to live there quietly until he dies, a self-imposed penance. This plan is foiled when the first former Avatar shows up - and Jon realizes that every domain-keeper in the apocalypse still has some faint connection to him.

    After a year of being a shoulder to cry on for confused and distraught former Avatars, Jon leads a moderately happy life. He has a flourishing garden, a cat, and some company. All of that comes crashing around his ears (or his head) when a familiar face shows up to his cabin, demanding answers.

    Summary

    "The Lonely clings. Jon Knows this. The fog doesn’t waver; once it catches your scent, it will linger as long as it takes."

    After safely returning from the Lonely with Martin, Jon is now marked fully by it. He assumes it will be Martin that the Lonely comes back for--instead, it's Jon that it won't let go of.

     

    Obligatory safehouse-fic with a twist on a classic trope. What would happen if Jon was the one hounded by the Lonely after escaping?

    Summary

    He sighs. “I’ve got some work to do. Um, good luck with your pens.” A part of him that isn’t distracted by the utterly devastated look on Jon’s face hears the door creak behind him. Jon’s face shrivels into a frown.
    “Martin -”
    Martin definitely hears it as the lock clicks shut.

    Or, Jon and Martin get locked in a storage closet sometime in season 4.

    Summary

    “I just— I heard a crash after I knocked, so I just tried the door to see if it would open and it— it did, and —you really should lock it at night, you know, it can be dangerous to keep it open behind you like that, even if you're barely conscious when you get home— and I just found you on the floor all grey and passed out with these bloody bandages and you scared the shit out of me, you know that, you—“

    “Martin,” Jon says.

    “—yeah, okay, what.”

    He squints up at him. “Why are you here?”

    “Why am I— Jon, I’m here because of you.”

    -

    Martin changes Jon's bandages after the Prentiss attack.
