I wanna know about Misuse of Office Time and Good Platonic smooching (not) bc they sound funnn
Good ol platonic smooching (not) is something tentative I wrote when I was just starting to consider martin/sasha as a ship last year, at first only on an ot4 context (w/ jon and tim) where they were just friends. Here jon and tim were away for a couple of weeks for [plot reasons] and sasha and martin got wine drunk while watching movies and gossiping abt the people on the institute, b4 they got a bit too cozy and warm and started kissing lmao
originally this was supposed to be highkey smut but the dialogue i thought at the time was extremely specific and I completely forgot abt it by th next day so, now its just fluff! feeling warm and comfortable w/ someone you like! and also wine drunk!
She patted his arm a few times, before considering it better and flat out laying at his side. Martin looked down with surprise, but tentatively raised his arm so she could make herself comfortable. It was warmer that way, and he couldn't help squeeze her a bit in a half hug. Not that she was against it, she thought as she smiled a bit. He laughed, with certain undertone that she couldn't put her finger on.
—God, look at us, just two weeks and we're starving for affection. —Despite his words he embraced her with his other arm as well.
—Speak for yourself, I'm perfectly fine—. She said, hiding her face on his neck and letting herself be hugged by the human embodiment of a teddy bear. She felt him laugh.
—You're a worst liar than Jon.
They both laughed, alcohol already creeping into them as she jokingly punch/patted his chest a couple of times and rised her head before letting it fall on his shoulder. A look at each other sent them on a new fit of laughs, but part of her couldn't stop staring at his face and thinking how cute he was. With ginger curls adorging his face, full and freckled and flushed cheeks, and his soft hazel eyes squinting back at her... He was genuinelly a pretty man, and the more they stared at each other as their laughter slowly died down the more warm she felt.
—I just had... —She shifted, supporting herself w/ a hand on his chest—... I just had a very curious idea.
She nodded, slowly, before reaching to kiss him softly on the lips. Or at least right at the corner of them as her nose hit his cheek. A giggle made its way through her mouth, though she quickly sobered when she felt the slight tension on his shoulders.
Misuse of office time (not a definitive title) is on an au where both martin and sasha are dating tim bc tim deserves all the love, and basically sasha walks in the office (the recording office where they record statements) when martin was under the desk eating him out, and after she realizes that after a small back and forth w/ tim shes like ok ill leave u 2 alone.......... except not. She stays for a little bit just watching and then joins em to make a mess out of their bf 😔🤘
at the end of the story she reveals that she was lowkey highkey procrastinating going to artifact storage (thats like, the worst place at the institute), martins like oh same I have to be somewhere at the other edge of london :/ and tims like “oh so none of you are here bc you missed me?” sasha: “nope!” tim: “im hurt!”
—Tim, be honest, is there anyone here? —He neither confirmed it nor denied it, and Sasha nodded, reaction making sense on her mind. Clever woman. He could feel the heat radiating from Martin's cheek and sighed as she made sense of the quasy protective silence, and with her nails she drumbed over the desk—...Martin?
Silence lasted for a few seconds as Tim looked up to her, until a half embarrased voice spoke from below the desk.
—Hi, Sasha. —She smiled a bit, nodding.
—Ah, I see. —Tim raised an eyebrow at her, tension finally dropping completely from his shoulders now that the cat was out. —Tim, you really should have told me.
—What, that dear Martin here and I were doing Illicit activities? —The way he pronounced the last two words made her laugh, and the face between his legs warm up. — That we were indulging in unethical office practices?
