Canon Comforts ask game!!
(The Magnus Archives spoilers below)
Honestly, it's kind of hard to pick something specific? Like, there's so many memories that have just been... tainted by something else (in this case, the fact that I can't remember the real Sasha). But really the most comforting memories have to be those I have of Jon and I in the few weeks at the safehouse.
It was so... nice? Like the weight of the world wasn't on our shoulders for a little while, we were just out and with each other. And I remember so many lazy mornings and just spending time with each other. We really got to know each other during that period outside of what we'd learned about each other during crisis.
And the people in the nearby town were all rather sweet as well? I remember that, too. And, of course, there were the cows.
But most of all, we were just together. We'd lost so many people and had so many bridges burned, but we had each other, and it was... so comfortable.
And it's kind of weird, but if I had to pick anything else, it'd be honestly moments during the Apocalypse? Which, yeah, that sounds awful. Like, it's the Apocalypse. But there were moments of peace during it, too? Because like I said, Jon and I still had each other.
A contender for earlier memories would be back when we'd first started as Archival assistants, there were just little moments between Tim, Sasha, and I. I wasn't as close to either of them as they were each other, of course not, but it was still nice. But I don't think I could pick those, because knowing that I still can't really remember the real Sasha makes it significantly less comfortable.
There were a few moments between just Tim and I as well? I know the main one the fandom knows is from the little side thing, Epiphany, but there were several other moments like that. We never really got as close as I wish we had, but when we did have our moments, we would banter back and forth? I think we had to make sure we were in the Archives though when we did, because I have a distinct memory of being called into HR once or twice out of concern. (Which--why the fuck did the Institute even have an HR??? It didn't stop violations form occurring, obvious, because they couldn't even do anything about it because of the fucker who doesn't deserve to have his name said.)
