Summary:
Despite himself, Martin grins a bit at the look on Jon’s face, but he remembers the point he’s trying to make and sobers quickly. “Face it, Jon, it took almost two years of crisis and trauma to even make us compatible. And that sucks. But here we are.” His gaze drops to his hands as he says quietly, “And I don’t want it to be for nothing. I won’t let it.”
There’s a pause, then Jon says, “That’s very sweet of you, Martin.” A short pause, then he amends, “Sort of.”
Martin snorts.
“But I don’t agree,” Jon continues. Martin starts to protest, but Jon waves his hand. “Yes, yes, I know, I heard you—two years of trauma, and Angela. I’m not saying we would’ve just…fallen together had nothing changed.”

Happy tma anniversary! This is actually one of the very first fics I started for tma a year ago, and I decided to finish it up for @tmaappreciationweek. I’m sharing it for Day 5: What If?
