Hey Steph

How are you? Long time no see 😅

I haven't really read any Johnlock fics the last couple of months, and so I haven't been on your page in quite some time 🫣.

Now I miss my favourite fan couple and really want to go back in reading about them.

So, do you have any suggestions of recent fics that are a must-read or any must-read fics really?

Thank you for your work in this fandom. You're a gem.

Hugs Seven

Hi Lovely!!

I feel you there on the "haven't been here in awhile" lol. I haven't read many new Johnlock fics lately so sadly most of my recs will be pretty old in this regard (I've been reading a lot of other ships the past couple years oooops) BUT I love this fandom so much soo just to be a curator of happy things makes me happy hee hee. I'll cycle back to Johnlock again soon, I'm just on a rotation of my fave old fics LOL.

My Top 10 Favorite Magnus Archives Characters

Note: This only will feature characters who showed up in voice on podcast. It will also not include characters from protocol. I will feature an honorary mentions section at the bottom.

Additional note: This is my own opinion. Feel free to disagree

Jonathan Sims: Look, judging from my fics you'd probably assume that Jonah was my favorite. I love Jonah deeply but Jon is one of the most well developed and relatable characters I have seen in a very long time. He has a good arc (one that could have only been improved by him going evil but that might just be me). I liked him in season one because I knew exactly what his deal was based on vibes alone and then got confirmed right. He's iconic. He's relatable. He deserves to traumatize people.

Elias/ Jonah Magnus: You knew this was coming. I think he's fun. He's evil and loves it. His character has a lot of interesting history with Smirke which in and of itself ties in with the world he's set in. He's also really funny (second funniest character in the podcast). But most importantly, he's a complex narrative foil to Jon. He's what Jon would have become if he turned to the Eye. And I just think that's neat.

Peter Lukas: The funniest character in the podcast I swear. Almost every one of his off beat comments had be wheezing with laughter. I shrieked at "that's Leitner too". While I wasn't the biggest fan of his whole extinction plotline, I respect the aesthetic. Like, who wouldn't want to live on a boat and feed sailors to a fear god of loneliness? (Look what he did to Martin was shitty but also consentual. Martin knew what he was getting into)

The Distortion (Michael and Helen): I categorize these two together because they're functionally the same entity taking different forms. I appreciate Michael for his whole spooky vibe. (Not so much the neon/80s/ rainbow thing the fandom gave him; I don't know where that came from). His inhuman nature was great, his backstory was interesting. Helen is even more interesting. Remember what I said about Elias being a foil to Jon? Helen is also a foil to him. She began her avatar journey around when he did. She was manipulated into Jon's life by Elias. She lost a few points because I think her potential was dropped in season five. She felt like a third wheel. Overall though, a good time.

Georgie Barker: I just like Georgie. She's cool. She has a cat. I love her cat. She has a ride or die response to people in her life including Jon. She was willing to lie to the police for him which is cool. Lost points for some of her behavior in season four but honestly, you gotta stick with the girlfriend and Melanie blinded herself to get away from that place

Trevor Herbert: as far as characters who actually speak in podcast, Trevor Herbert is among the ones who gets the least attention. I cannot fathom why, considering how diehard this fandom is about old man yaoi and found family. (Or at least I hope I'm wrong). But his arc is moving (so moving I stole it for an OC). I just like him (But seriously how is he only in 173 fics on AO3. Only ones with fewer fics on AO3 that I could find after a brief search were Maxwell Rayner, Manuela Dominguez, and Adelard Decker). Which is crazy for a guy I'm pretty sure got mentioned more often than Gerry.

Gertrude Robinson: I love Gertrude for two reasons: 1) because she's a character who was forced to make the hard choices and she made them and 2) her impact on the plot. She played the trolly problem every day and lost everything. She was betrayed by her assistant and forced to kill her. Then she got killed by her boss. She did everything she could to save the world even though it was all for nothing. And that's what makes her all the more tragic. I could write a whole essay about Gertrude's narrative influence and her also being a foil to Jon but this is already getting long.

Nikola: Do I even need to get into it? She's a mannequin clown who skins people and is gleeful about it. Only reason she's this low is because her inter-character dynamics aren't as interesting. She's great

Breekon and Hope: I just really like their dynamic between each other, especially Breekon post Hope. A neat idea.

Sasha James: I thought she was fun in season one and was quite sad to see her go so soon. But I appreciated the way she haunted the narrative.

Honorable Mentions: The Admiral, obviously. He's number one. Jonathan Fanshawe (the guy who told Jonah Magnus to fuck off). Also Gwen from Protocol because she's such a disaster and I love her.

What are your top five museums or exhibitions you visited?

Okay this took a while to think about but still, what a great question! I felt like immediately after reading this I just forgot about most of the museums I have visited, so maybe there are some great ones missing

1. Luostarinmäki museum quarter in Turku, Finland. This place has so much to see, easy to spend a whole day exploring the different houses and learning about several different handicraft techniques. Also just a really beautiful place overall.

2. The Vasa museum in Stockholm, Sweden. You can see the whole disaster ship up close from bottom to top. The museum is built around the ship and has lots of levels so you can see the ship from different angles. There is a corner of interactive games for children that were fun to play :D

3. The National Museum of Finland in Helsinki, Finland. It's been years when I visited, I was still a teen but I remember really liking this place. It's closed for renovation now and is supposed to reopen in 2027, I'm waiting to go visit it again then.

4. The National Museum of Slovenia and The Slovenian Museum of Natural History in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Okay I'm cheating a little and combining these two together, because they are in the same building. National museum has lots of interesting artefacts such as the world's oldest flute and some really nice old jewellery. When you read the info signs it feels like they found like half of the stuff from Ljubljanica river. The natural history museum is pretty small but still interesting. They have a HUGE taxidermied moose head in there. Moose hunting is a thing in my village and I have seen plenty of dead moose up close, but never anything as big as that one. I remember just staring at it in awe.

5. Natural History Museum of Funchal in Funchal, Madeira. Okay this one is on the list because it was kinda bizarre. It's the oldest museum in Madeira and you can see it. It has lots of old taxidermied fish as you can expect from an island town museum. I was actually scared of entering one of the rooms, it had stuff like big taxidermied sharks staring at you with their dead zombie-like eyes, they looked super creepy. I'm pretty sure the museum also had a pothead whale with parts of its body missing, i think it missed either fins or a tail.

top 10 songs

Wow this is super hard to answer because there is just waaay too much to choose from 😅 i'm changing the rules a little and just using songs i have listened to during this week, it narrows down the options a lot and makes it possible to have a somewhat semi reasonable list

Helo by MRFY. Judging by the amount of times i have hit repeat with this one this is easily my top song of the week (pretty sure this is also the song i have listened to the most this year)

Bluza by Joker Out. Also a song i usually listen to more than once at a time.

Vem da greš by Joker Out

A sem ti povedal by Joker Out

Vse kar vem by Joker out

Ako toga by Joker Out

San Francisco by MRFY

Fat kid by MRFY

Haltin häät by Kotiteollisuus

Tuonelan koivut by Kotiteollisuus

Thank you! ✨️ and sorry for changing it!
