I can f1x th1ngs. I can f1x th1ngs. I can f1x th1ngs. 1t w1ll all be f1ne. We w1ll be free.
I can get out of here.
A T1me travel Jonathan S1ms and El1as Bouchard AU.
"Hello? God, uh.. what was I l1ke back then?.. oh, r1ght, uh.. Supplemental..
... Jonathan S1ms here. At home. W1th my own tape recorder. 1t's n1ce hav1ng T1m, Sasha and Mart1n back the way th1ngs were, for now. I don't th1nk El1as has real1sed that I can gaze back upon h1m. For now I'm just enjoy1ng the peace unt1l we have to deal w1th Prent1ss. I'm also manag1ng to feed the Eye fa1rly well at the moment, although 1t'll probably get worse soon. We'll see how 1t goes."
The tape recorder clicks off.
Elias, meanwhile, is watching over the Institute. Something's wrong. Something's missing.
Someone knows. He can't see. It's in his blind spot.
Why does he feel seen?

Yay it's my timetravel Jon AU! Except Elias is here too.
I think making a new TMA something is my coping mechanism at this point but anyway.. Lore!
This blog isn't very canon-compliant as you can probably tell, so a wide variety of character interactions are okay. Lots of different ships are fine here if you feel like it.

'The Future gazes upon asks', 'The Past gazes upon asks' and 'Seeing the Now with asks' are alterations of the first three tags to specifically filter for asks.
Hear me out! Would you like matches? But you have to be RESPONSIBLE with them! Like no fire, please.. actually you could make a flamethrower get hairspray and lighter then boom-
"...
I could also just l1ght the can of ha1rspray of f1re and then—"
Jon stares at the new gun he's acquired. Shame there's only one bullet in it this time, though. He looks over the new gun, noting how polished it looks, as well as the fact that the serial number has been filed off cleanly.
I w1ll not be reckless, I w1ll not be reckless, I w1ll not be—...
to jon: what happens if someone finds you when you're resetting a loop?
"Ah.. not much, actually. At least, I doubt so. Oddly enough, 1t's never actually happened, but 1'm fairly sure they just forget and I restart my loop as usual."
Question, couldn't you just kill Elias, hide his body and boom, problem solved? Cause tbh most of your problems are because of him so-
"I... don't th1nk you understand just how d1ff1cult 1t 1s to k1ll a man who Sees everyth1ng, nor the consequences that potent1ally come w1th k1lling a man whose very ex1stence drast1cally alters the very fate of a t1mel1ne. Sure, 1t seems good on the surface, but with h1m be1ng a major orchestrator of the Fears, who knows what could happen, or 1f 1'd be able to f1x 1t?
Jon freezes for a solid thirty seconds before he reciprocates the hug, holding back tears at the corners of his Eyes.
"... Thank you. I hate to say 1t, but I needed that.'
I understand that I’m asking a lot, and that this isn’t your forte.
Do you still take statements since you don’t know how to help me?
I have a statement to make.
Jon can't help it—his eyes light up like he's a kid in a candy store.
"Oh, god, yes, please.."
He pauses, slightly embarrassed.
"I mean, err, sorry... 1t's gett1ng d1ff1cult to feed the Eye s1nce I techn1cally know a lot of statements already, so new ones are greatly apprec1ated."
Hello Elias, I can in fact do a backflip, take the L.
-best eye avatar anon
"..."
Elias takes a deep breath. He looks like he's about to curse anon, but instead, he simply says, "... Right. It's 2026, and we're supposed have decorum here in the Institute. I can't say that."
