TMA appreciation week 2023 (1006 words) by M_Chasmfiend Chapters: 1/7 Fandom: The Magnus Archives (Podcast) Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Characters: Martin Blackwood, Jonathan “Jon” Sims | The Archivist, Tim Stoker (The Magnus Archives) Additional Tags: Roleswap, Archivist Martin Blackwood, The Magnus Archives Season 1 Summary:
A year after Tim first confessed that he liked Jon, Jon unexpectedly finds himself returning his feelings. As it turns out, the two of them have more in common than they thought.
Jon/Tim, rated T, around 3.5k words. Read it on AO3!
Jon was three drinks into the evening when he realised he had a problem.
Or not a problem, per se. That was too harsh. In fact, if this thing had occurred about a year ago, back when Tim had confessed that he liked Jon, it would have been rather the opposite of a problem. But it hadn’t happened back then, and now - well, it was at least making things complicated.
The thing was, Jon wanted to kiss Tim. It was a new feeling for him, after such a long time of being friends. He always craved the physical affection Tim handed out so freely - the claps on the shoulder, the hugs, the occasional cuddle during movie night. But the urge to climb into his lap and kiss him until the whole pub knew that Tim was here with Jon - that was new.

Jon missed his mom’s voice. She used to talk on the phone all about market shares, and Thatcherism, and inflation rates, dipping into Bengali (which she had not taught him) and back into English, filling the space.
Then she was gone.
He understood dead. He’d seen a dead fox once outside in the park, and read a book all about dead people (well, most of a book about dead people, until his mom caught him and took it away), and understood dead.
Sometimes he cried. She didn’t come. That was dead.
(Note: sort of spoilers for the whole show? Not really? It’s an AU, okay? Monster!Jon afoot.)
Tim the cat had some complaints.
They were absolutely valid. Dire, even. A matter of concern for anyone who’d listen, and of course, who’d listen was Weird Human One.
Weird Human One was sort of Tim’s favorite, but he would never admit that to anyone. Weird Human One was buzzy. His pets felt like static. His many, many eyes saw in the dark, and he never lost a toy that was shoved under the fridge or behind a door.
“Now, what’s the matter today?” said Weird Human One, following Tim’s raised orange tail (like a flag!) to the spot required: the Place of Brushing, upon the Sacred Bathroom Rug.
Chapter 1 is a Jon/Martin roleswap, chapter 2 is Julia and Trevor being Julia and Trevor, and chapter 3 is a What the Ghost about the Bermuda Triangle.
Finished in honor of @tmaappreciationweek for Favorite Major CharacterFavorite Minor CharacterAlternate Universe! (a bit late for the first couple days)
“It was back before I worked at the Institute. Before Arthur.” Tim rubbed his chest absently. “Before Danny…”

TMA Appreciation Week, August 9th: Crossover (100-Word Drabble)
Spoiler alert for MAG 200.
Also for the ninth Doctor. Sort of.
———
“Ceaseless Watcher, you know why I am here.”
Jonah Magnus floated down. “Jon? Is that you? I was having the most wonderful dream.”
Jon prepared to stab him. To make things right.
And then a complete stranger in a black leather jacket stepped out of the blue police box in the corner and knocked Jon out cold.
“Jon!” Martin cried, running in.
“It’s all right,” said the Doctor, and threw the knife away. “Do get him out of here, would you? Just this once, Martin, everybody lives.” And with that, he skipped back into his police box and was gone.
After the failed intervention Jon has finally started putting himself first for a change and is liking the results. He and Martin have gone on two whole dates! The only person who doesn’t seem happy with this development is Peter Lukas.
The sequel to “An Examination of Monstrosity and Self-Care.” For @tmaappreciationweek day five, What If?
Like what if you actually finished writing something?
TMA Appreciation Week, August 11: Scottish Safehouse
Spoilers up to MAG 160.
The first morning was odd.
They’d fallen asleep in the single bed with barely a protest. Someone had mumbled something about the worn-out sofa in the other room, but Jon couldn’t even recall which of them had.
They’d lain down in the manky clothes they’d worn in the Lonely and on the train and trekking through the Highlands at fuck-o-clock in the morning, too.
Jon could smell himself. He was ripe. Quietly as he could, he slid out of bed.
They’d fallen asleep on the single bed without a protest, dropping their ozone-scented clothes on the floor, and collapsing naked together onto the musty sheets.
Neither had cared. Jon’s side was still bandaged, and still sluggishly bleeding. They’d traveled a portal and landed in a field and been crushed by a corpse and panicked and stitched and somehow walked ages (Jon said it was 5.2 kilometers) until they’d seen this house at fuck-o-clock in the morning and found it empty.
Martin could smell himself. He was ripe. Quietly as he could, he slid out of bed.
