Summary: Tim has trouble sleeping these days. But perhaps, Jon could offer some cuddly assistance.

A/N: A pinch-hit gift for @president-homewrecker! I hope you enjoy this even though it’s a little short and a lot late :”

Someone pinched Tim’s forearm hard and he startled awake. He turned to glare at the culprit. “What the hell?” he hissed.

But Jon only glowered before subtly jerking his head towards the back. Tim blinked, drowsy and perplexed, before following Jon’s gaze. 

Ah. Elias had just entered the research department. Thank goodness they were situated closer to the back of the room; if not Tim would already be in hot water. And thank goodness for Jon. Sheepishly, he whispered his thanks to Jon, who nodded and resumed his work. Tim blinked hard to get any bleariness out of his eyes and drank some water. 

As the boss walked past his cubicle, he opened some folders to make himself look busy, as though he hadn’t been asleep on the job just ten seconds ago. When Elias was out of sight, Tim sighed. He tried his best to resume work. However, the words on the computer blurred into an incoherent messy blob and his mind drifted into a hazy blankness.

A lil exchange piece for @theyrejustboys as a late Valentines fill, plus it doubles as a TMA fantasy week piece!

The first time Jon came to the aquarium (after he got over the panic attack he’d dropped into seeing the mermaid twist its way out of the dark water towards him), he’d asked the mermaid for his name.  The second time he came (when he thought ahead enough to bring a sign language dictionary), the mermaid told him it was Gerry.

Which is a very strange name for a mermaid to have.

Jon befriends a mermaid he meets at a local aquarium and exhibits his usual levels of self control when it comes to helping people out.

I hope you enjoy!

365 daily affirmations for healing and positive thinking by serenfire

The florist asks, “So, who should I address these flowers to?”

Martin can’t seem to get the words out. This was, unequivocally, a bad idea.

Georgie gives Martin one last, wicked smile. “Write: To Peter Lukas. From Elias Bouchard.”

This was a really, terribly awful, extremely bad idea, and it’s definitely going to end with Martin’s death.

Summary:

“You know Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be a box of bad chocolate and Tesco’s finest wilting rose bouquet. It can just be you,” Melanie says, and Martin understands she means both of them, him and Jon, and what they mean and are together. “And if that’s absolutely nothing, not even acknowledging the date, whatever, I’m sure that’s fine, too. ‘Sides, not like Jon’s big on romance, is he?”

“Um,” says Martin, blushing and tongue-tied in the coffee shop. “I mean — maybe a bit?”

*** It’s the first Valentine’s Day after the world came back; Martin doesn’t think much of Valentine’s, but he wants to make it perfect.

***

I don’t write fic very often, but I wrote this for @ravendarkwood as part of the @tma-valentines-exchange . Sometimes when you’re faced with an inevitably tragic end in canon, and a sweet Valentine’s Day prompt, you write 6k words of romance hijinks over a background of healing after loss. 

(Eternal thanks to @mllekurtz for the vibe check on the intro, and the encouragement; to @mia-ugly for picking out Martin’s favourite flowers, and for all of the support for my writing anything, ever; to @acemartinblackwood for reaching out and for cheerleading; and to @verdantvulpus for bringing to my attention the hilarious world of silicone wine stoppers many, many years ago.)

TMA: step in time

For @tma-valentines-exchange I wrote jon/martin time travel fic for @serenfire​! Heads up for time travel, preslash, mild introspection.

excerpt:

 “What did you do to him?” Martin asks, voice flat. His hands tighten minutely on Jon’s shoulders.

 For a moment, he can’t make the question resolve into something that makes sense. “What?”

 “If you hurt him, I - you’re -” Martin stops mid-sentence. His eyes flick quickly back and forth across Jon’s face, widening and narrowing in the span of seconds. “Is this - what is this, some kind of Thirteen Going On Thirty situation?”

 “I don’t know what that means?”

 “It’s - never mind,” Martin says. He loosens his grip on Jon’s shoulders and bends his head, making a small, frustrated sound. Outside, the sun has broken through the clouds; it slants in through the window and turns the grey streaks of his hair bright silver. “Prentiss, right?”

 “Yes,” Jon says, stiffly, reaching for formality to paper over how utterly overwhelmed he feels. “I lost track of Tim and,” he pauses, but only for a second, “Martin.”

 “… huh,” Martin says. He sits back on his heels, chewing on the inside of his cheek. His eyes turn distant; there’s a sudden absence that feels nothing like the Martin Jon knows. “You never said.”

 “I’m not -”  him, Jon starts to point out, not him yet, but Martin cuts him off.

 “I know,” he says.

 “Maybe he just didn’t tell you,” Jon says. “When he came back.”

Us Against the World

“And that bleeding wound where Danny had been ripped from Tim’s chest had begun to heal.”

Tim had come to The Magnus Institute with one goal in mind: finding out information about the thing that had destroyed his family. What he hadn’t planned for was finding a new family in Jonathan Sims and Sasha James. But after their little family is relocated to The Archives, it all seems to start to fall apart.

And Tim isn’t willing to let what he’s found go without a fight.

wrap me up in your arms (and hold me tight)

Jon is extremely touchstarved. He’s just lucky Martin is there to amend the issue.

Rating: T Relationship: Jonathan Sims/Martin Blackwood Preview: Jon regrets ever accepting the invitation. He tells himself that - silently, of course- as he waits in the taxi for Martin to finish getting ready, tapping his fingers impatiently on the car door. The party starts at half eight; it’s still only six o’clock and it’s only an hour and a half’s drive, but he’s desperate to not make a bad impression by showing up an hour after everyone else - and if Martin ruins that for him he is not going to be happy.

OR

Jon and Martin hating heterosexuals and liking each other more than they’ll admit for several hours straight.

On a cold winter’s day in the safehouse, Jon and Martin decide to get married.

Notes:

This was written for @bare1ythere for the 2021 @tma-valentines-exchange! He asked for safehouse Jonmartin, proposal/wedding, and winter-time activities, so I put them all together!

Technically, this is a slight AU where the safehouse period extends into February. Timelines? We don’t know her.

I hope you enjoy, Ben!! Happy Valentine’s! :)

Summary:

From the first moment Melanie King from Ghost Hunt UK walks into Georgie’s café, Georgie is utterly smitten.

|| Ao3 ||

.

The coffee pot is empty. Again.

With a long, drawn-out groan, Melanie opens the cabinet above the kitchenette sink and pulls out the container of unbearably cheap coffee that Martin had picked out last month when he’d restocked the cabinets.

(“Melanie, I don’t drink coffee, how am I supposed to know what is and isn’t ‘a good brand’?” Martin had said, sounding affronted and snappish in that way he always gets when his beverage-purchasing decisions are questioned—though that typically only applies to tea.

“Martin,” Melanie said, trying to keep her voice calm and neutral despite forcing the words out through gritted teeth. “If it’s less than five pounds, it’s not good coffee.”)

Soon, she’s got a pot brewing. The smell of it is almost enough to drag her out of the mid-morning fog that’s got her eyes unfocusing on the screen, making her see things in the footage that aren’t there. Some people would say that none of the things they point to in their videos as proof of the supernatural are real, and while it’s true that artistic license is a good portion of the job, their footage is not tampered with. Ever. She just sometimes has to look at it for hours to find what she’s searching for.

Thus, coffee.

Heat Without Warmth, Light Without Sight

This fic is for the @tma-valentines-exchange and was written for @barnabasbennett (pretty sure, at least!) AO3 link is in the source! Based on the prompt: rewrite episode 159 to feature Tim and Archivist!Sasha.

I’ve been waiting SO LONG to post this! I hope you like reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Chapter One: Embers

The archives are quiet. So quiet. Sasha can hear the tick of the clock on her desk and the hum of the radiator she had brought in so many months ago, back when her biggest concern was how cold her Archivist office was. Before the idea of heat reminded her of Tim in oh-so-many painful ways.

The Unknowing had been…bad. Daisy had been imprisoned in The Choke, Sasha left unconscious and Basira forever changed. She had seen it, she told Sasha later, the way Tim had stood amidst the rubble of plastic mannequins and brick and mortar, unscathed as smoke billowed into the sky, silhouetted in greys and blacks. It was terrifying, she said, in a completely different way than the Unknowing had been. Basira described Tim as unstoppable in that moment, a train bulleting towards destruction and revenge, a rage in his eyes that only intensified when he saw the unconscious form of Sasha James, bruised and lying in the rubble.
