An unexpected (on my part) addition to @tmaappreciationweek. This wasn’t written with any specific prompt in mind, but it certainly does for my favourite ship!
Here we go, Day 3 of @tmaappreciationweek : Favorite Ship, Jon x Therapy XD (Okay, there’s a JonMartin hint in there!). You could probably also see it as a headcanon^^
When Jon came back to his office after months away, with gravedirt still under his fingernails and blood still drying on his throat, he stared at the pile of tapes on his desk for a very long time.
I’ve left some tapes for you in your office, Elias had said as Jon left, still wearing the calm, self-satisfied smile that had been plastered on his face through their entire confrontation, You’ve been away for quite awhile. I suggest you start catching up.
Jon’s first instinct was that Elias could go fuck himself. He had been ‘away’ because Elias had murdered an old man in cold blood and allowed Jon to be blamed for it, so Jon really wasn’t keen to listen to any of his suggestions.
Still, he couldn’t help his curiosity (he never could), so he looked over the tapes. Most of them were neatly labelled in Martin’s handwriting, though one or two were written by Tim, and some were in a hand he didn’t recognize - Melanie’s, if he had to guess.
Case #9900112
Case #9770211
Jon brushed his fingers over the thin plastic labels. How long had it been since he’d seen Martin’s handwriting? It was an odd thing to be nostalgic for, but, well, he had been away for quite awhile. He could forgive himself for getting a bit sentimental.
Just so you know, this… this is an adorable look on you.

[Impatient] Yes, yes, yes, yes…
listen this should not be a surprise to anyone
i love jon, i love martin, i love jmart - they’re bitch4bitch romantics and i like them so much
because i started listening when s5 was airing i already knew they were together so that wasn’t a surprise to me - what was a surprise was how invested i got in the relationship, i love them as individual characters and hearing it evolve was a beautiful process, i love how much they care for each other and that care and their friendship can be traced back to s1
then in s5 we got to see them actually be together and yes it wasn’t always sappy romantic stuff and a lot of their conversations were hurtful or difficult but honestly their light-hearted banter when it happened was a much needed contrast to the grim tone of the final season
they would do practically anything for one another while chiding the other one for doing the exact same thing, they are both stubborn and loyal and so so in love
For the prompt “favorite ship” for @tmaappreciationweek , it’s Jon and Martin! I started listening in I think January of 2020, and this show and these two got me through the entire pandemic and finishing my degree, and it has truly supported me. I know that’s mushy, but it’s true. And I will always love and appreciate it.
