The standard chatfic but with more Nastya by Cassandras_Prophecies

Summary
What it says on the tin.
I've read like pretty much every fic under the 'The Mechanisms Were Jonathan 'Jon' Sims | The Archivist's College | University Band' and it always bothered me that the sibling relationship with Nastya and Jonny that's everywhere in mech fics isn't carried over.
So I wrote it myself (You know you're desperate when you have to write it yourself)
There's supposed to be 12 chapters but we'll see how that goes.Bookmarked by Kaz (mechanical_jester)

Summary
“You need to learn a lesson,” she says, and there’s blood speckling her lips now. She’s overstraining herself. He needs to stop her, calm her down. “And until you learn it you will suffer, just like you’ve made me suffer.”
“Mum, I think you need to--”
It turns out that when his father had called his mother a witch, he had meant more than Martin realized.

Summary
Many years ago, the young Lord Blackwood was struck by a terrible curse. Doomed to live as a hideous beast, he wanders his abandoned castle waiting for the day when someone will come and fall in love with his true self under the ferocious exterior, breaking his curse. Until then, he drifts through a life of solitude and isolation, resigned to being alone forever… and he would be, if only he could find a way to stop all these goddamn monsterfuckers trying to break down his front door.

Summary
Jon frowns as he pushes his hat into position. “Is this really even a job that you need me along for? It’s not like you’re even going to let me talk with anyone.”
“That’d be because you’re dressed like you’re attending a funeral,” Martin retorts — god, Gerry is rubbing off on him in the worst of ways, “and to be quite honest, your people skills are rather lackluster.”
“I’m in uniform,” Jon argues, “and it’s not my fault that most ‘people’ we deal with are dreadful things of the night.”
Martin can’t help the smirk that crosses his face. “Well, lucky for you,” he says, “I have lots of practice dealing with one of those.”In the grand scheme of things, going to fetch a...a skin book for the Institute isn't the weirdest assignment they've been on.
Jon and Martin make a house call.Series

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
Jonathan Sims has a secret, which really isn’t all that surprising. Everyone has secrets, everyone has troubled pasts, and everyone has things that they’d really rather hide.
In no place does this come into play more often than in the Crew of the Starship Aurora, who happen to be Jon’s secret in the first place.
or, an AU where a mishap with an eldritch entity leads the Mechanisms to being...somewhat entangled in the life of one Jonathan Sims.

Summary
Martin Blackwood, avatar of the Web, has been given a simple assignment by the Mother: get rid of the newly appointed Archivist by whatever means necessary, ideally by rescuing him from the Eye and converting him into a servant of the Spider. This is slightly complicated by two things:
1. Jonathan Sims hates spiders.
2. Despite the many things he's seen/heard/experienced that would fully convince even the staunchest of skeptics, Jonathan Sims does not believe in the supernatural.

Summary
As if being kidnapped by the Circus or being threatened by the Distortion wasn't bad enough, now Jon had to deal with a new consciousness waking up in his head. Or perhaps it's not his head at all.
Jonny DID NOT agree to Raphaella's little experiment. So he's most certainly not happy about waking and realizing he's sharing his body with some nerd.
