Hi!!! Really sorry to ask and know you guys are busy, but I am at the end of my tether xD I'm looking for a jmart fic where Jon is a human that has been captured by the wild hunt and had wings sewn to him, and Martin is another human who ventures into the fae realms to do fetch quests for ill people in his village? Hope you can help QoQ

I'm pretty sure it's Hunter and Hunted by paperdream. More specifically from their saga:

The Archivist and The Adventurer saga by paperdream. Rated T. 45k. Jonmartin. Fae themed.

Jon is a prisoner of the fae who can only be freed by true love's kiss. Martin needs to go Under the Hill for things you can't find anywhere else. Individual fics may be marked angst or have cliffhangers, etc, but the series as a whole will have a happy ending!

I don't have a clue from when this ask is but hope the belated help helps!

Not sure if this is still active,

but i'm looking for a kidfic, with coparenting between Jon and Daisy? I remember reading it, pretty sure it was part of a series, and i'm like 70% sure that the kid was an avatar of some kind (stranger maybe?)

We are aliveee! Just really busy!

I'm pretty sure you're talking about Make This Place Beautiful by Thebonemoose. Rated G. 25k. Complete.

Summary:

Jon was not a stranger to death. He was an orphan raised by his elderly grandmother, he’d been to more funerals than he had weddings. Death… death was undiscerning. Objective. First you were alive, and then you were not. Simple. Humans were the ones who made it messy, with their mourning and their loud, heavy grief. Burials and ceremonies and calla lilies. Sometimes, Jon wished it was just a matter of putting a body in the dirt and being done with it. The last funeral he had been to was his grandmother’s. She was seventy nine. She died peacefully, in her sleep. And she would have hated that. Jon glanced down to the child sleeping beside him. Willa Briar. His first cousin, once removed. This was her mother’s funeral. Jon adopts the daughter of his late cousin. This is complicated by the simple truth that he has no idea how to be a parent.

There is also a fic where Jon adopts Callum Brodie

The Darkling and the ''Human'' by Ketakoshka. Rated T. One shot. 2k. Part of a saga called Dread Child Jon

I'm preeetty sure it was the first one since I read it myself back in the day! Hope it helps!

[tma-ficrec]

WAAAAAAAAAAA hi I’m the anon who was looking for knowledge is power THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!! :DDD

mods are alive just sleepy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU, ENJOY!!!!!!!

[tma-ficrec]

hi!!! I know you haven’t been very active recently but I was hoping to get some help finding my favorite fic if you happen to see and get around to this. no worries if not!!

it’s a jonmartin fic that takes place in an alternate universe where jon works as a librarian and martin works in a sandwich shop. jon has a daughter named philomena, or phil for short, and they meet when she runs off and hangs out at the sandwich place with martin for a bit. there aren’t any dread powers, but there are leitners, and the story kicks off when jon receives a collection of them from sasha that used to belong to the keays.

I’ve looked for it so extensively that I’m worried it might’ve been deleted, but I’m holding out hope that I just missed it!! if you or anyone else seeing this can help, I’d really appreciate it, thank you in advance

*crawls from the pits of hell* I KNOW EXACTLY WHICH FIC YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT AND NOT ONLY IT ISN'T DELETED BUT IT'SA MASTERPIECE. From all @organchordsandlightning's fics, this one has a SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART

Knowledge is Power (but Love won't Hurt) by SupposedToBeWriting. 156k. Complete. Rated M. Single Parent AU. AU - No fears, only Leitners

Jonathan Sims is a single father and the sole librarian of the most disorganized library in existence. Martin Blackwood's life has entered a new chapter but he can't seem to find the plot. Jon's daughter causes a chance encounter that throws them inexorably into one another's lives. As Jon receives a strange shipment of rare, peculiar books, he realizes that his life is only about to grow more complicated - and more dangerous.

Hey! I know the blog hasnt been that active as of late, I hope you all are doing well :) I'm searching for a lost fic, basically a series of letters and notes between Jon and Martin where it ends with writing in Martin's notebook

Hi there! We've been good, just busy with life (...and getting consumed by another fandom in my case, sorry bout that!) I don't think I was able to find the specific fic you mentioned, at least not with that ending, but I offer some letters and notes fics that might be similar:

i don't wanna say it out loud by sailormomotaros. Jonmartin. 1k words. S4. canon-compliant

A series of interdepartmental memos exchanged between Jonathan Sims, Head Archivist of the Magnus Institute, and Martin Blackwood, Archival/Administrative Assistant, between January and October of 2019.

To Whom it May Concern by Olive_Heaven. Jonmartin. 1.2k words. Pre-canon. Canon-divergent. Fluff.

After losing one too many pens to a mysterious pen thief, Jon is fed up with it. Tim insists it’s not him (and for once he believes him because even Tim’s not stupid enough to lie when confronted) so he’s left with one logical option: Write the offender passive aggressive notes until they take the hint and back off. With a little more focus on the aggressive versus the passive. . . . Martin is having a bit of a rough day and he may have been far pettier replying to that note than he intended to be. It’s not his fault he forgot which desk was that Tim guy’s and which was his coworker’s. But whoever wrote it seems to be a right prick so he doesn’t feel too bad about it. Besides, it’s a way to pass the time.

If anyone else knows the particular one Laric is talking about, please drop it in a reblog or replies!

[tma-ficrec]

I know exactly the fic you're looking for

Misjudged by ShastaFirecracker. 37k. Teen. Workplace Comedy. Alternative Universe: No powers. Twitch gamer Jon. Administrative Assistant Martin.

Martin's been a longtime listener of What the Ghost, so when Georgie gives a shoutout to her flatmate's Twitch channel during a Q&A, he checks it out - only to discover that her flatmate is also his most terrifying coworker at his new job. The first time they crossed paths, Jon yelled at him for incompetence. But on the streams, Martin sees an entirely different person - someone fun and relaxed, engaging and unfairly attractive. Over time, Martin begins to find that Jon buried inside his dour, awkward coworker. He also learns to live with the fact that his crush is painfully one-sided… or is it?

Jonathan Sims takes his job as a caseworker in the Department for Care of Youth Avatars at the Magnus Institute very seriously. He followed the rules to the letter and made sure never to get too attached to the children he was working with in the homes he visited.

can I rec my own fic? It's smut

Rec away! We use tags!

[tma-ficrec]

Hello! I’m desperately looking for a fic but I can’t find it anywhere, it takes place after mag 200 and Jon lives in a cottage in Scotland (I think) and he basically gives therapy to a lot of avatars. He has a cat named pip and callum brodie is there a lot and Martin and Basira kick down his door one day like “what the hell dude.” Do you possibly know which fic it is

OH BOY I DO KNOW WHICH FIC THAT IS

Two Graves by SupposedToBeWriting Jonmartin. 60k words. Post canon AU. Canon Divergence. Hurt/Comfort. Reconciliation. Angst with a Happy Ending.

Jon sends the fears far from Earth and flees London, leaving the others to assume the worst. He settles in a small village and opts to live there quietly until he dies, a self-imposed penance. This plan is foiled when the first former Avatar shows up - and Jon realizes that every domain-keeper in the apocalypse still has some faint connection to him. After a year of being a shoulder to cry on for confused and distraught former Avatars, Jon leads a moderately happy life. He has a flourishing garden, a cat, and some company. All of that comes crashing around his ears (or his head) when a familiar face shows up to his cabin, demanding answers.

I know it's a bit silly to ask since no one keeps track of this kinda stuff but I was wondering if you've noticed a story get deleted recently. I went to go through my bookmarks and noticed the most reason fic has been... well deleted. I bookmarked it about a week ago so it really hasn't been that long. It's driving me crazy trying to figure out what's gone.

This is... actually, it's accurate. I'd benefit from more context and details.

It could either be augustdepot's stuff (he privated them for a month or so until very recently, they're back on now I think), "Are you listening?" (The Honey Girl AU, it got deleted and reposted I believe) or cryptickidprem's stuff (they have deleted their older stuff but it can be found through the wayback machine). That's what I'm personally aware of.

My advice is using the wayback machine and see if your bookmarks were saved there and/or to browse the tags. Do save your bookmarks in the wayback machine now. I reccomend that.

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Summary:

“Are you a godly man, Doctor Sims?”

“I don’t think I can answer that question in a way that matters.”

“Rest assured I don’t expect that.”

Quiet.

“I believe…” he starts, then stops to breathe in, deeply. Just to stall, just to think, just to avoid Father Lucas’s attentive gaze, he takes a drag off his cigarette “I believe in people. On the best of people. On their worst, too. But it’s very difficult to be surrounded by dying men in a tent that smells of stale blood and gunpowder and believe there’s someone up there looking out for us.”

And he can see them now. Clutching their rosaries, calling out to their mothers, to their gods, to their long lost lovers. He can see them while the nurses held hands that would inevitably grow still and he could see himself, the only one with the responsibility to change their fate, useless in the centre of it. –

In 1950s Poplar, a group of nuns and nurses carry the health of the neighbourhood on their shoulders. Amongst deaths and births, a lonely doctor meets a conflicted priest.

I'm currently browsing through my history with no luck so I thought I'd send this ask first in the hopes that you know the fic. Anyway basically it centers around Martin fake crying to get out of punishments (I think? It's been a while since I read it) the main scene I remember is the one where Jon confronts Martin about lying and instead of admitting about the CV he admits that he's not actually an easy crier and that he only does it to stop Jon from yelling at him. I can't even begin to figure out what tags I could apply to this

I know exactly the fic you're talking about!

a little love, a little sympathy by Did. G. 3k words. Jonmartin. Canon divergence. S1-S2.

Summary:

And then Jon is snarling into his face, demanding what are you hiding with a strange, bright-eyed intensity Martin has never seen from him before, and Martin thinks god, maybe he should just come clean about his CV, Jon thinking he's a fraud can't be any worse than Jon thinking he's a murderer-

Martin opens his mouth to speak. To his absolute horror, what actually comes out is: "I used to pretend to cry because I liked how nice you were to me when you thought I was upset!"

[tma-ficrec]

I'm starting to think this fic got deleted but I'm staying positive by sending this ask. Do you know of a fic where the premise is basically Jon becomes an avatar of every entity. It's multi chaptered and completed and I think it was written before season five but I can not for the life of me find it. It was really funny too and Jonah dies in the end but not Elias.

This doesn't ring a bell! Can anybody out there help us find it?
