When Jon asks Martin to Quit the Archives with him, Martin says yes. Things don’t go as planned. In the Scottish Highlands, they hurt, and they heal.

[ID: a character inspiration meme filled out for OC Craig Carter, a middle aged white man with a mustache. The inspirations listed are: Ned Flanders from the Simpsons (annotated “yes, seriously”), Bob Newby from Stranger Things, Lloyd and Larry from But I’m A Cheerleader, a google image search for “midwestern dad”, Martin Blackwood from The Magnus Archives (as depicted by artist hotdrinks), and Bobby Singer from Supernatural. End ID.]

Thought I’d start posting some stuff for y’all to get to know Craig… he’s everything 2 me

[ID: A three panel comic of OCs Fyn and Craig reuniting.

Panel 1: middle-aged dad Craig intensely hugs his step-child, 27-year-old Fyn, who looks caught off-guard

Panel 2: Fyn looks sadly over Craig’s shoulder as they wrap their arms around him

Panel 3: Craig’s face pressed into Fyn’s shoulder, only his teary eyes and grief-wrinkled forehead visible as Fyn says, “Hey, Dad.” End ID.]

Thought I might start sharing some of the art I’ve done for the ttrpg that’s been my hyperfixation for the last year 😅 Here’s a moment between my character, Craig, and @phynoma ‘s character, Fyn, that made my heart explode into one million tiny pieces

Hi, I'm absolutely insane about your jmart vampire fic so I was wondering if it'd be okay to print and (attempt to) bind it?? Only for myself, not to resell ofc

Aw of course!! That’s so wonderful! :O If you do end up binding it, I’d love to see :)

[refinedlobotomy]

based off a lovely fanfic called "Resigned, Though Not to Fate" by @crit20art <3

originally done for day 7 of goretober, based off the painting The Kiss by Gustav Klimt

[crit20art]

Hiiiii I haven’t been posting but I have been drawing more lately, mostly mine and others’ OCs from a TTRPG called The Darkest House !!

I’m currently working on character/intro sheets so maybe once I post those I’ll post more stuff about the blorbos :3 I’m sooooo normal about them (<-he’s fucking insane)

Here’s a meme I made about them. hhsgsjdh

[ID: An edited version of a meme that says "Every queer friend group gotta have the: furry monsterfucker bondage guy, the modern Prometheus, Chris (he works at the union), and MISSING PERSON.” Original characters Adrian Lancaster, Fyn Carter, Craig Carter, and Abby Wright are listed under each title, respectively.

An incomplete list of TMA fics I adore

-beacuse of this ask

(If you liked the fics I previously recommended/made fanart for, I think you'll gonna like these as well, but you know, read the tags, know what you are going into)

Yesterday is Here by CirrusGrey @cirrus-grey

Time Travel Fix-it! Slow burn! So good! So much sass from future!Jon- I doubt I have to introduce anyone this amazing author, but if you somehow missed them till now, this is your time! I highly recommend all of their other fics as well, for example one of a more recent one, The Stranger I Know Best is also a lovely read.

enthralling by Prim_the_Amazing @primtheamazing

Vampire!Martin!! I have no words of how much I love this concept, this story, everything about this. I think I'm going to repeat myself through this list, but I also recommend everything else they've written!

to fill... my heart with music? by godshaper @godshaper so their Martin and Jon design are different from mine, also they made a way better art for this- but still, I wanted to include this really good fic in this list.

Do It All Anew by inkfingers_mcgee or @crit20art

You know the feeling when you read a book that makes you cry, and after that you recommend it to your friend? Well- there is no reason I mentioned this, I'm just so normal about this fic. Or any other fic from inkfingers_mcgee... like Strange Manner of what I made another fanart way back. Also, check out their art!

Anyway, here is Aamal- she is not going to cause emotional damage.

And they were sidekicks (oh my god, they were sidekicks) by arthureameslove @arthureameslove

A lighthearted series where Jon and Martin are sidekicks of supervillains- it's just a really fun fic, also recommend everyting from this author - I previously draw fanart here for an other fic of theirs Like a Lighthouse, Call Me Home

neither sad, nor sick, nor merry, nor well by saintbleeding @saintbleeding

To quote the aurthour: "Post-divorce Jon and Martin in a wedding-based romcom" It's such a comfort read, also has a Tim/Sasha wedding, and lots of cameos! I realised most of these authors I made fanarts for before- like this one for some kind of miraculous bind, this one is oneshot and a bit more serious in tone.

Give Me the Words by rakel @rakel-on-ao3

"Jon and Martin try to make the most of a bad situation in the Scottish Highlands. The situation is worse than they realised." You know that one post about wanting to write PWP, but it keeps turning into character study? Well, this one comes to my mind each time I see that.

i wanna find a home (i wanna share it with you) by heartshapedguy @transgenderboobs

So what would have happened if instead of the cot (tm), Jon offered Martin his own flat to stay? There is no way it's going to change their relationship, right? Such a good read, if you want some fluff, I highly recommend it!

Lucky Stars by magnetarmadda @magnetarmadda

Martin has a lovely family (except his mother) but still, he needs a fake boyfriend, and Jon comes to the rescue. It's one of the first fics I remember reading after I finished the series. It is such a comfort read of mine~

(+enjoy a rare tall Jon from me)

There are so many more fics that also deserve the spotlight, these are just the ones I read multiple times and/or didn't made fanarts for before. If you find something here you like, give them some love! Kudos and comments! They deserve it. (Also, just an extra disclamier some of these are PWP or rated T- just mind the tags)

I tried to link and tag everything, I hope it works.

[ID: a digital drawing of Georgie Barker and Melanie King from The Magnus Archives. Georgie carries Melanie, who gestures with one hand while speaking, and holds a partially-unfolded white cane in her other hand. Melanie flushes and grins as she says something—perhaps a bit tipsy— and Georgie looks up at her with a smile that might be incredulous or mischievous. Georgie is depicted as a tall, fat Black woman wearing a silk sleep bonnet, shorts, and a loose crop top. Melanie is depicted as a shorter, thinner white woman with stubble, a lot of body hair, and a long dark ponytail dyed bright blue. She wears only boxer shorts and socks, and has a large jagged scar on her calf, and a tattoo of a knife on her ribs. Her eyes have been enucleated but she is not wearing prosthetics. End ID.]

ive had this sketch sitting around for a bit and i just dropped everything to color it before International Women’s Day is over. i love u women. i love you wtgfs. transmasc Melanie rights. i’ll post Georgie tits next time. thank you and goodnight

[ID: two digital greyscale drawings of Jonathan Sims and Martin Blackwood from The Magnus Archives. Jon is depicted as a short, thin British-Pakistani man with many scars, and Martin is depicted as a tall, fat Vietnamese-Polish man with glasses.

Image 1 depicts Jon rescuing Martin from the Lonely in episode 159. Against a cloudy grey background, Martin, washed out, stands with his arms limp at his sides, looking vacantly aside. He is wearing a blazer. Jon wears an overlarge cardigan that fans out behind him as he reaches for Martin’s face with both hands. Many tendrils of negative space curl around Martin, and a few break over Jon’s legs and flow between his fingers.

Image 2 depicts the final moments of episode 200. Jon, unraveling into magnetic tape, floats in mid-air while Martin, standing on the ground, begins to drive a knife into Jon’s chest, cutting the tape. Blood rises from the wound, floating upward, the only color in the drawing. Jon gently touches Martin’s face and supports the arm holding the knife, while Martin sobs through gritted teeth and holds onto Jon’s wrist. The dark backdrop is lit by a beam of light behind Jon, which highlights the negative space between the ribbons of tape that compose Jon’s body. End ID.]

these drawings ended up being parallels of a sort so thought i would share them together for. maximum pain :,) if anyone’s wondering i’m still inconsolable about Them

Hello! Hope you're having a wonderful day! I was wondering if it was okay for me to post a video Inspired by your fic "Resigned, Though Not to Fate" and create a short fan audio for it using character ai? I absolutely adored your writing throughout the entire fic and would like to know if posting this video would be okay with you?

Hi, while I really appreciate that you liked the fic so much, I would prefer that you didn’t post a video that uses AI. If it’s just an audio I understand that it would be hard to imitate the character voices yourself, but also I doubt Jonny Sims and AJN consented to have their voices used for an AI generator.

If you would like to record podfic using your own voice or a friend’s that would be really wonderful, or would like to make a video that features the text in some other way, that’s fine, but I have to ask— and I guess I need to say this in general for all of my work —please do not enter my writing or art into AI generators 👍

Well today is officially a year since I last updated Do It All Anew 🫡 I was actually scrambling to put out another chapter by yesterday—and I actually am very close!!!—but work got busy so I didn’t make it under the deadline. That said I really should realistically publish chapter 9, aka Scottish Safehouse But With Baby, sometime in the next few weeks :,)

I want to say a huge thank you to people who have read and reread DIAA, I have received so many lovely comments that have made me determined to never abandon this story even if it has been so long. I love you guys so much 😭😭😭

Excerpt:

“Martin,” Jon says, frail. Martin blinks, a flick of lashes, glazing his eyes gold in the low light. Jon squeezes his hands. “This- this might be the last—” “Oh, come on,” Martin huffs, dropping his eyes. “Jon- don’t— Don’t.” “Don’t what?” “Don’t-” Martin bites his lip, but not before Jon’s seen it quiver. The patchy hair dusting his neck—would it be prickly against Jon’s skin?—undulates, throat in turmoil beneath. “Come on,” Martin says again, a plea. Jon closes his eyes, and the energy in his body buzzes all the brighter. He furrows his brow. Exhales. “So, I waited too long.” Sudden and sharp, Martin’s hands clench. It startles Jon’s eyes open. “Of course not,” Martin says, a rush. “God, I just—” he laughs, utterly vacant of joy, “it’s just- it’s shit timing, isn’t it?”
