au where jon’s a buff nerd
- jon hates running. it’s exhausting and you get all sweaty and he hates it, but every day he still queues up an educational podcast, puts on his running shoes, and goes because he just needs to move
- when jon’s brain feels like it’s going a million miles an hour and he just can’t turn it off, he goes and lifts weights until his muscles feel like jello and he knows he’s going to be so fucking sore in the morning
- jon stops working out for a little bit because of prentiss, and jude, and the coma, and by the time he comes back he’s so angry and frustrated because he has to start from square one. all that work, gone. but also he invests in stuff that makes it easier on his hand/leg when he’s working out
- he throws himself back into it during s4 tho. buys extra weights with lukas’ money so he can work out in the archives. daisy silently starts joining him with the little weights after the coffin
- the funniest part is that no one in the archives ever found out (except for daisy and like, who was she going to tell) so jon lugging a gym bag full of free weights into the safehouse catches martin completely off guard
- martin walks in on jon changing once and almost expires right there on the spot. jon has muscles. jon has really, really nice muscles. he has to sit on the couch for a solid twenty minutes just staring into space, reconciling that.
- jon complaining bitterly about the fact that the scottish town they’re living near doesnt have his favorite brand of protein powder, he hates the way the other ones taste. martin bluescreens for a solid thirty seconds before hesitantly suggesting that they try to order it????
- i think itd be funny if martin has the same attitude toward jon working out that my parents do - that is, baffled support. every day jon gets back from his run and martin goes “how….how was the run? did you run well??” and jon loves him for it
au where Jon is a buff nerd and Tim is a jock who listens to jazz
