in the same vein as the last post i also really want a fic that’s like…pre-slash jonelias where jon starts spying on georgie or one of the archive assistants and accidentally stumbles on them having sex and decides to very normally be a creepy voyeur about it because 1. he’s fascinated by the mechanics of sex something he apparently has very little experience in and 2. he finds it very easy to distance himself from the unsettling part of himself that would so easily intrude on another person’s privacy, not necessarily because he recognizes it as conducive to his eye alignment but because of this ingrained self-identity of bookish academic that he has where he doesn’t view himself as someone who’s capable of such active participation but who IS interested in the full breadth of human experience
and of course elias is there to show him that he actually is capable of it. having sex that is.
