The Beginner's Guide to Archival Hauntings
Stats: Teen and Up; Creator Chose Not to Use Archival Warnings; Gen; The Magnus Archives; Words: 11,964; Chapters: 1/1
When Jon walked back into the Archives after the worm siege, he expected to see a mess. He expected to see a strange trapdoor, and he expected to see his possibly-murderous assistants. He absolutely did not expect to see a ghost.
His first thought is a string of curses. His second thought is fear. His third thought wipes out any trepidation; does this ghost know who the killer is?
It's a shame she can't remember anything. The ghost is yet another mystery to solve, and it's a distraction from the question of who killed Gertrude. The secrets are really starting to pile up around the Archives - someone really ought to get started on sorting them out. Unfortunately for Jon, that someone is him.
Review: I will do anything for a happy ending. This technically checks that box while also diving into more of the lore of the universe and pushing season 1 Jon to trust his friends. 10/10
