That which Hurts can also Heal

For #JoneliasWeek2020 Day 2. Caretaking & Manipulation

Read on AO3 here

 The static hiss of the tape recorder cut through the silence of the Archives. Everyone else had long since left, if they had even bothered to turn up at all in Tim’s case, and Jon was left alone in the empty office.      
   The Archivist himself was curled up under his desk, head pressed between his knees as pain stabbed behind his eyes. A low whine ripped from his throat as he curled himself into a tighter ball.

For #JoneliasWeek2020 Day 3. Denial

Elias moved his cursor to save the spreadsheet he was working on seconds before the door to his office banged open. He didn’t look up from the screen as his irate Archivist stormed over to him.      
   
   “Where are the keys?” Jon slammed his palms down onto the desk.      
   
   “With me. Is there something you need Jonathan? I have work to finish and you,” Elias made a motion of looking towards the clock ticking away on the wall, despite him knowing exactly what time it was, “should be heading home I believe, you must be tired from your trip.”

Archival Ascension

For #JoneliasWeek2020 Day 4. Statements & Religious Themes

Statement of Jonah Magnus, regarding the Ascension of The Archive. Statement recorded direct from subject.

The Archive, in this new world of ours, is glorious. Glorious in its power and in its sight and in its beauty.
Though I suspect it would argue that last point if it was capable right now.

Soften the Edges

For #JoneliasWeek2020 Day 5. Altered Mental States
tw: drug use & alcohol use

Read on AO3 here

Elias was no stranger to drugs. Laudanum was his drug of choice in his first life, long nights spent hazy in the company of his various friends and acquaintances, and he nearly ended up killing himself as James Wright with his use of cocaine. This body had even come with a predisposition towards weed, one that he was fond of indulging in every so often.
So there was absolutely no reason why he should be so high right now.

Out of Sight

For #JoneliasWeek2020 Day 6. Beholding

Read on AO3 here

I am vast, but not Vast. I am lonely but not Lonely. I corrupt but am not the Corruption. I leave destruction in my wake, but am not the Desolation, nor the Slaughter. I hunt but am not the Hunt. I have 13 brethren and yet they are me and I am them. I am that which watches and knows and sees all. I am secrets and fear. I am It-knows-you and I am the Ceaseless Watcher. I am the Eye to some and the Beholding to others.

I watch.
I watch all.
I watch what is mine most carefully of all.

My Heart

For #JoneliasWeek2020 Day 7. Choices

Read on AO3 here

Jon had made so many decisions that had lead him up to this point. Decisions that he hoped he wouldn’t have chosen to make even if any of them had been informed choices.

Would he have made the same mistakes if he had known what would have happened?
