Martin is bad at Greek. Jon is good at Greek. Tutoring ensues.

Summary
His living heart had hurt, and the new one felt strange: he could feel the clockwork and the gears in his chest where there had once been nothing but messily squeezing muscle, and at that first tickticktick he felt the sick swooping rightness of it so strongly that every moment on either side of it went white with euphoria.
Linear memory's overrated, anyway.

Summary
A living situation he doesn't want, a pile of responsibilities he never asked for, and another semester in a city that won't ever feel like home—Juno Steel's third year of college is off to a fantastic start. Really.
The last thing he should be worrying about is his new roommate.
Feat. too much cake, not enough honesty, movie nights, betrayal, heartbreak, love, and Mick Mercury's hovercycle.

Summary
Jonathan Sims was doing something wrong in his life, that he knew for sure. All his life he constantly felt like an outlier; his emotions always bubbling towards the surface at even the smallest things. Jon thinks that if he fixed whatever caused…this, he’s sure that then everyone would love him, that he would have more friends that he could count and he could finally fit in-
All of this could happen if he could just figure out what it was that was wrong with him.

Summary
Jon normally avoids the alleyway when he walks home late. On most nights, the siren cockney call of loose women echoes through the brickwork, aiming for a note that’ll be enticing to lonely men.
Tonight, though, it is quiet.

Summary
The two of them must have huddled together as the room filled up, instead of doing the smart thing and trying to find a way out. Vespa had held her emergency air filter firmly over her face and walked over to prod the pile of worn trenchcoat and slacks on the floor with her boot, only to feel something solid inside.
Carefully, she'd leaned down to get a better look. And what she'd found, to her complete disbelief, was a kid. A very unconscious kid that looked an awful lot like her pain-in-the-ass crewmate Juno Steel.
-
Or, Nureyev and Juno get given the "macguffin-ed into kids" treatment and everyone has to deal with that, but especially one very tired Vespa Ilkay.

Summary
“Laundry detergent is practically a self-contained emulsion—not that it has to be a mixture of anything, but it has a hydrophilic and a hydrophobic end,” says Jonathan-Sims-but-I-usually-go-by-Jon-oh-and-it’s-nice-to-meet-you-too, and Georgie grins.
for The MagnACE Archives prompt: "Jon/Georgie pre-series fluff. Just them being domestic and cute when they were still dating and Georgie 100% fine with having an relationship without sex, even finding it vaguely a relief."
In which two lonely kids try their best to make each other less lonely. Alternatively, five times Georgie would’ve been afraid but wasn’t, and one time she didn’t need to be anyway.

Summary
Jon clenches his hands into fists. It hadn’t even been his fault. How could he have signed up while he was in hospital in a bloody coma? He’s lost six months of his life, he’ll likely be dependent on mobility aids for the rest of it, he’s been evicted from his flat (though Georgie, wonderful, fearless Georgie, had saved as much of his stuff as she could), and the people providing the money for his scholarship are breathing down his neck about the money and the standard period of study. How could he have signed up for the live drawing class?
“Jon?”
He blinks. Georgie has leaned forward, her hands hovering in the air between them like she wants to touch but isn’t sure she’s allowed. It makes Jon feel fragile. It makes him feel relief.
“I’m fine,” he says and doesn’t mean it.In which Jon is struggling to pass his live drawing class and needs someone to pose for his drawings. Martin never thought someone would be interested in drawing him.

Summary
Jon’s cat paces into the room, yowling for attention. It is a ragged, snarling thing, more than half feral and missing a significant chunk of its right ear. Jon had brought it in from the streets, both of them soaked to the bone, Jon sporting scratch marks and a resplendent smile. There was no chance in hell that he would let the scrappy little animal go, and James had sighed and found a box for the thing to sleep in. Jon had kissed his cheek and dunked the wild animal into a bath, uncaring of its claws. He had his own, after all.
His Lordship is purring in harmony with Jon.
James has come to the rather unfortunate realization that ragged, snarling things are his favorite type of creature.
OR: James Wright finds something interesting in the ruins of the library of Alexandria and gains a powerful partner in crime.
Featuring my obsession with murder-husbands-power-couple and femme fatale Jon for some reason

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.
