if we assume that giving a statement to Jonah Magnus causes nightmares too (which I do), then it means that after Jonathan Fanshawe sent his break-up letter, he suffered from nightmares caused by Jonah until he died. that’s so beautiful to me. and adds to Jonathan’s attempt of severing his connection to Jonah

My favorite relationship dynamic in fiction is a worshipper and their God. Not a literal God, but their God. The only thing in the whole world that matters to them. I will live for you, I would die for you, I would kill for you. My only moral compass is You. You can do no wrong in my eyes and I will never stray from your side. I was born to meet you and to love you. You are the only being I pray to. Your life isn’t just my passion, it’s my religion. You don’t think you’re anything special but you don’t see what I see. You don’t see that you’re the only person who’s ever made me feel this way. You don’t understand how beautiful you are to me and I will devote my entire life to making you understand and accept it.

Jonah Magnus/Jonathan Fanshawe | Explicit (for a description of self-injury) | 2297 words
“Any proper gentleman is supposed to marry, is he not?”
Jonathan pauses, lost at Jonah’s seemingly serious question. He is so difficult to read, at times, even though Jonathan has known him for years. It is something he’s deeply ashamed of, but something that he has learned to mitigate. Somewhat.
“No proper gentleman is a friend of yours, Jonah. Besides, I cannot marry – you are aware of it. I’m afraid you’ll have to find someone else to help you bring revenge to Mordechai.”
Jonah tilts his head in confusion. “I am not aware of any such limitation, no. Your ring finger is intact – what else do you need to be able to marry?”
…He is joking. Surely.

My piece for the 2025 TMA Regency Boys calendar: Magnus and Fanshawe November. Hosta wrote a snippet to go along with it!
He puts the kindling in the fireplace.
He lights the match.
He’s going to rid himself of this vice, he swears.
But to what end? What good is paper turned to ash, in the face of the unknowable? What good is it in the face of love?
He lights a second match. The first has burned his fingertips.
He tosses the letters into the fire and knows he’s achieved nothing.

I want to play little mind games with him. I want to see him whimper. NO. I MEANT I want to test his chivalric nature and see if he will meet his fate with bravery and honor…and whimpering.
