AO3“You really don’t consider any of this a concern?”
The clock in the corner of the room ticks and tocks as steady a rhythm as the pen scratching whatever report Elias is working on while Jon tries to conduct their meeting. He hadn’t gone through the typical procedure of scheduling it—finding it far more pressing how increasingly little the man before him cared about the things people actually told them in statements.
“Oh, they’re a concern alright, but not necessarily to us, or this institution. Not to mention, it has nothing to do with what we’re here for, as I believe I’ve told you before,” Elias flicks his attention up briefly from his docket, to catch Jon’s eyes. He’d think they look beautiful if it weren’t for how piercingly hollow they looked—devoid of warmth, but brimming with intensity at whatever they gazed at. Searching him for something, but he never knows what.

Jonelias Week Day 1 ❧ Season 1 / Pre-Canon
“I’m afraid the finer points of opera are beyond me,” Jon admits when he sets Elias’s coffee on the side table and settles on the edge of the bed. A weekend. It’s been raining since early, and the morning is stretching luxuriously long. Elias had insisted Jon actually rest, for once, and enforced it last night by wearing him out so thoroughly that Jon didn’t even dream. He’d woken up to pleasant ache and then, after hours of the static soundtrack of rain, braved the kitchen for coffee and pressed play on the stereo on a whim. The light strains of an aria had filtered through the speakers, a high, sweet soprano.
“It sounds pretty, but it doesn’t go anywhere.”
Elias hums. “‘Going anywhere’ isn’t really the point with opera,” he says indulgently.
“What is, then? Educate me.”
A rainy, lazy, morning and an impromptu voice lesson.

(posted out of order in celebration of Jonelias week!
Darlings, feel free let me know of any other trope or ship etc. specific weeks [and if you have a specific episode/s in mind!] and I’ll tackle the relevant episodes first. I’d love to join in the fun!)
general prompt: elias would like jon to associate reading statements with pleasure.
It seemed innocent to start.
“It’s a single origin Brazilian coffee,” Elias said with a self-satisfied smirk. “Surely you wouldn’t deprive yourself a good espresso?”
Jon had only just wrapped up post-statement notes literal seconds before Elias had allowed himself in Jon’s office. Jon hadn’t been Head Archivist long, and it still stunned him to discover just how immersive statements were. He was trying to shake off now that unsettling feeling of having been someplace else entirely. No, not someplace else—someone else.
“Ah, I can’t say I’m knowledgeable about what constitutes a ‘good’ espresso, but I do like coffee—”
“Black,” Elias asserted, “you take your coffee black. You’ll like this, I promise.”
For an instant Jon believed he saw Elias’s steel-grey eyes flash an unnatural shade of green. Strange lighting in the basement. “Right,” said Jon uneasily. “Well, what do I owe you?”
Elias chuckled and waved his hand with the coffee in it, causing the aroma to waft up and out to Jon. It smelled delicious. “Jon, I told you, the barista gave me two drinks by mistake. Just take it, won’t you?” He held out the cup expectantly.
“Well, thanks,” muttered Jon. He took the cup, and tried to ignore how nice it felt when Elias’s forefinger (surely on accident) stroked over the sensitive V between Jon’s middle and index fingers.
“I am delighted with the way you’ve been adjusting to your new department, Jon,” Elias said fondly. “Just do what you need to, and you’ll be fine.”

Read on AO3 hereJon tugged at his tie, fixing his collar as the polished floor below him shone like a mirror. He took a deep breath and took a quick peek at the notes he had prepared for his interview. There were a few other applicants dotted around the waiting room, all looking terrified.
