Summary
It was easier to treat Jon like a monster when he wasn’t shivering against his back, brokenly humming—wait, was that…
“Are you trying to do ‘Hey, Jude’?” Tim demanded.
Jon stopped, stiffening. “Mm hrmh mm mmh hm,” he said defensively.
“You really can’t hold a tune, can you, boss?”
*
It was just an ordinary walk to a restaurant. Tim had insisted that if they were going to talk, there would be no tape recorders or weird Archives ghosts listening in. A bit of fresh air wouldn’t kill him, Tim had said. What could go wrong?
By the time Jon spots the white delivery van, it’s much too late.
The Stranger kidnaps Jon. Tim comes along for the ride.

Summary
His eyes are at once dead and horribly, horribly alive. The milky film over his cornea does little to hush the luminous golden brown of his irises, huge around pupils so shrunken that Martin can hardly see them.
Jonathan Sims blinks. Then he frowns.
“Am I to take it you’ve never met a vampire, then?”
Oh, Martin is going to get a rubbish review.Or,
Struggling for income, Martin registers with an app that connects vampires with willing blood donors. His first client is not at all what he expected.

Summary
The visions had started small- a flash of Tim, not as Jon knew him, but with pockmarked scars marring his skin. A moment of an unusual feeling of fondness towards Sasha that didn't feel like Jon himself, but someone else's left over affection. It hadn't taken him long to realize his knowledge was... bleeding over, in unexpected ways. He adjusts his actions accordingly.
His archival assistants just want to know what the hell is going on.
or//
“No! Something… else. Something really strange,” Martin sat down at his desk, leaning his chin into one hand. “He… smiled? At me?”
“Really says something about him that that’s a real cause for alarm,” Tim quipped loudly from the other side of the room.- Language:

Summary
"My, My head hurts," he replied dumbly, "And I had a… A really terrible nightmare."
And god, did the last few years feel like a nightmare. A horrible, never-ending nightmare that twisted into shapes Jon never thought possible and took more from him than he knew he had to take.
"Must have been some nightmare," Tim hummed.
"It was," Jon laughed humorlessly.----------------
After the conclusion of the Watcher's Crown, Jon finds himself waking up in a much younger version of his own body, one that's still working with Tim and Sasha in research. Jon refuses to let this opportunity pass him by, refuses to let this world fall to the same fate as his. He'll do it better this time. He'll save everyone, no matter the cost.

Summary
At the end of the world, the Archivist stood watch. He stood and he watched for minutes, for hours, for years, for decades, for a time when time did not exist, he watched.
And then he blinked, and Jonathan Sims was back before everything went wrong. He was back, and he had another chance to protect those he cared for, to protect the world.
But first, he needs to learn how to act like nothing had changed in the Jon that everyone else knew.
Besides the constant fear of death, that part is definitely the most difficult.
(Or, Jon gets sent back in time, chaos ensues.)

Summary
On the night of the anniversary dinner, the Third and Sixth Houses end up working together—kind of, almost—with nearly good intentions to prove that neither of them were responsible for the deaths of Abigail Pent and Magnus Quinn.
Or, Gideon Nav was not paying attention and did not notice the complex, Empire-shaking, absolutely stupid political drama unfolding around her the night of the murder investigation.

Summary
“We need each other, especially now,” Tim said solemnly. Martin just nodded. “Everything’s different, and it’s not gonna go back to how it was when we get back to work. And I, personally, don’t trust anyone else in that place but you guys.”
“Right now, I just want to focus on us, not…the institute,” Martin said, brushing back Tim’s hair. He kissed his forehead, and Tim melted against the touch. “And this is pretty nice…”
“Where do we go from here, then?” Jon asked, hesitant glances passing to each of them.
“I say we go to Camelot,” Tim said.
“I’d like to…” Sasha said sheepishly.
“As would I…” Martin said.
Jon took a deep breath, and he nodded slowly. “Camelot it is, then.”

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
“Hey, Jon?” Martin isn’t moving. He sturdies himself, holding Jon back like an anchor. If Jon wanted to go, all he’d have to do is drop Martin’s hand, but he can’t. They’re holding hands. They’re meant to be holding hands. “Why did you say my mother was dead?”
“I don’t know,” Jon runs his free hand through his messy curls. When had his hair gotten so long? “It just popped into my head like a passing thought, like something I heard somewhere once. We haven’t known each other that long, Martin, I’m sure I just mixed you up with someone else at the Institute.”
“Like a memory?” Martin asks, quietly.
“Sure,” Jon says. “Like a memory.”
***
Between phantom earthquakes and visions of a terrifying future, something is very, very wrong at the Institute. And only Jon and Martin can see it.

"Who the hell are you?" Jon could feel his hands shaking.
The man laughed, taking a step forward and raising a hand to point at him.
"I'm you, from the future!" he said, then swayed, eyes going unfocused, and collapsed to the floor in a dead faint.

Later, they'd come up with a lot of words to describe what I was to you. The one they settled on was "cavalier." Personally, I never liked any of them. I still prefer the word we used as children, the one we kept using even as other people tried to define our love out of existence. I was your friend. And you were mine.
