Soooo,,,, any holiday events happening at the institute ? (And if not, how will the archives crew be spending the holiday ?)

There's a holiday potluck sort of thing!

Elias has banned from bringing food since he accidentally brought "magic" brownies to the shared break room a few years back.

Tim wore an ugly holiday sweater, realized he was the only one, and got embarrassed. Martin when home and put on a matching ugly sweater so Tim wasn't alone.

Sasha stood by a wall like this the entire time. She had an amazing time.

Gertrude showed up with a bottle of wine. She wasn't invited. No one had the guts to ask her to leave.

Is Gertrude Bouchard the head of the Magnus Institute? How similar to cannon is she in terms of "will blow up a place of power for the Eye"? Like, is she more cool with the Powers or does she fight all the other powers except the eye or what?

Gertrude Bouchard : Current Head of The Magnus Institute and frankly a *very* scary old woman.

Some 30 odd years back she was almost exactly the same as Canon Gertrude. But time as so much death has warped that idea. Now, she believes there is no way to stop any of the fears from winning and has come to the conclusion that the eye would be the "kindest" to suffer under. So: She wants to preform The Watcher Crown to "Save" The world from the other fears winning.

… I bet Gertrude was PISSED at not having realized how the rituals worked sooner cause Michael was literally just RIGHT THERE marked by EVERY SINGLE FEAR and she didn’t even try to use him to get off a ritual-

pov your special lil marked boy died of cancer before you realized, so now you have to start all over

So, who is the focus of the AU? I know Sasha, since she's the Archivist, but is there anyone else of real focus?

Sasha and Elias are the main focus, but Gertude, Martin, Tim, and Peter all kind of circle around that focus.

Does Georgie try to kill Gertrude and if so, does she go about it in the same way Melanie did?

She most *certainly* does

I need to work on Georgie more, but that is something she is *definitely* getting

So does Gertrude still have that “If I die, everyone working at the institute will also die*” thing going?

*probably

Oh she'd 100% pull something like that. Doesn't matter if it's true or not if she makes you think it is.

This was originally going to be longer but for some reason my editing program would show the pictures going at a different rate than the actual video it made (Which is why its a little out of sync. It did very much frustrate me.) This part at the start was pretty nice though, so I figured I’d post it. Bonus: Scrapped frame from later in the song
