    Summary

    Martin never worked in the archives. He's always worked in the library.
    So why won't the Archivist leave him alone?

    OR

    Instead of working for Peter Lukas, Martin forgets his time in the archives. It would be safer to keep his distance.
    Jon does not.

    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

    Jon never expected he’d one day have to mourn his own death. He doesn’t even get to go to his own funeral. Life is full of funny little surprises like that.

    In which Jon and Martin end up stuck in the Magnus Institute as ghosts, the tunnels beneath the Archives are haunted, Elias gets thwarted by a spider, and murder is plotted over tea and stolen glances.

    Rated M just to be safe, no smut but depictions of injury and violence. Will add tags where necessary as the story progresses!

    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.
