    Summary

    “Look, if you’re another, uh, avatar of a horrible eldritch demon god come to assassinate me in a spooky manner, could you get it over with quickly? I haven’t eaten all morning and I’m starving.”

    The thing that calls itself Michael stares.

    “And this sandwich cost most of my weekly salary,” Gerry adds after a belated moment.

    Summary

    “You’re it for me,” Jon said, smile relaxing into the gentle expression Martin loved best.

    Martin really wished it were that easy, that simple.

    He wished he lived in a world in which he’d met Jon first instead of Jonny. Where there was nothing lingering in the shadows of their pasts reminding them that there would always be something missing, even if they both chose to believe otherwise.

    A world in which he wouldn’t need to choose between reality and ghosts.
    .

    If the universe were kind, Martin's soulmate timer would have stopped the first time he touched Jonathan Sims, those ever-changing numbers fading into pale remnants on his skin, the search finally over.

    But his timer was already long dead, lost to a man whose skin had been smudged with lightning bolts and the silver glow of starlight.

    .

    Mechs! Jon, missed connection Soulmates, unknowingly pining for the man you're already dating.

    What else can I say?

    Summary

    Logan was good at labels, at categories. Logan sorted the citizens of his city into 6 different categories in his mind: heroes, villains, vigilantes, criminals, government authorities, and civilians, and knew how to deal with each. But… but what was he supposed to do with him.

    Virgil was just trying to survive, though he didn’t think the part of him that compelled him to throw himself into fights whenever he saw the superhero Bluebird struggling had gotten the memo. His English teacher was right; he really was stupid.

    When the villain criminal… when Shadow Caster gets injured while throwing himself into the line of fire for Logan, Logan can’t find it in himself to turn him over to be arrested. Luckily, he knows a doctor very, very well.

    Virgil is going to get kidnapped adopted by the end of it.

    Summary

    Somewhere Else isn't right, and they've never talked about what happened in the Panopticon, but so what? They're together. The Fears aren’t gone, no, but behind a curtain, subdued.

    Martin actually loves the small-village life, farming and friends and found family. Jon is... managing. They're making it work.

    But the universe they landed in is occupied, and its current rulers are very interested in the new kids. Entities made of Fear, attached to a damaged ex-human and his surprisingly sneaky lover? Who could resist playing with that?

    Everyone has plans, and plans under those plans. What happens when a web grows too heavy to support its own weight?

    "Tears and blood, blood and tears," says Kayne.

    He is not wrong.

    Now with FANART! Ahh! It will be posted in the final chapter, because it's spoilerific, but ahh! Thank you, Pikachic!

    Summary

    Two otherworldly, unknowable Entities decided to make a bet. Or is that some kind of projection? They can't make bets, right? They probably don't even know how to play games like poker or blackjack. They probably don't care about what a playing card is. Probably. Who knows? They're unknowable.

    All Jon knows is that he's not a fan of the apocalypse, and apparently neither the Eye nor the Web are, too. He wants to understand, but he wants to fix things more. So he can hold off on asking questions, at least until his people are safe.

    So when he's sent back in time, given another chance, he's not going to make the same mistakes twice.

    No more apocalypse.

    Summary

    Welcome, everyone.
    This is a fanwriting of Sanders Sides season 3, which includes most of the themes/concepts suggested by the fandom. I put them together, organized all threads and (hopefully!) developed and closed them in a satisfying way.
    If you're interested, feel free to take a look.

    Thomas has a new person in his life: Nico. But are his Sides ready for him? And is Thomas ready for another person in his life?
    "Do I really know myself as well as I should?"

    Summary

    John realizes what’s happening on the sixth loop.

    In retrospect, it’s fucking embarrassing that it took him so long to figure it out—that this isn’t an illusion, and it’s not him finally going mad, and it’s not a dream or a trick or a torment devised by the King to fuck with them. It’s not like he doesn’t know that time is as malleable as clay in the hands of gods. The Dark World taught him many lessons that he’d like to forget, and that’s one of them.

    It’s just been a little hard to concentrate when Arthur keeps fucking dying.

    .

    When John decides to stay with Arthur as he bleeds out on the King’s plateau, he expects them both to die. Instead, they find themselves brought back in time to the first moment they stepped onto the plateau—and Arthur has no recollection of their confrontation with the King. John soon realizes that they’re stuck in a time loop that restarts every time Arthur dies.

    Summary

    It is the Dark World.

    It is the place where all go when they die, from every world, from every timeline - and though they cannot die again, they can absolutely feel everything that happens to them.

    Jon, Martin, John, and Arthur will have to find their place here, all the while chasing Arthur's greatest desire: to someday find his daughter in the land of the dead.

    But first, they're going to have to figure out each other - and what to do about Kayne.

    And then. He rewinds the threads.

    Jonathan Sims starts again, back to his first day on the job. This time, it will be different.

    Summary

    "Who the hell are you?" Jon could feel his hands shaking.
    The man laughed, taking a step forward and raising a hand to point at him.
    "I'm you, from the future!" he said, then swayed, eyes going unfocused, and collapsed to the floor in a dead faint.

    Summary

    Rewinding the tape, going back to fix mistakes. It feels easy when you're the Pupil of the Eye and the Harbinger of the Apocalypse, but the Archive is going to find out soon that a human mind and a human body, even his own, cannot host him without consequences.

    So, some changes have to be done, first.

    Jonathan Sims, newly appointed Head Archivist of The Magnus Institute, is about to have a very bad time.

    “What do you want?” Martin's voice betrays him by quavering.

    “To say hello,” it says.

    Martin doesn’t know quite what to say to this. “Hello?”

    Summary

    He sits on his small bed. He stares at the piece of paper like his eyes could change the ink pressed into it. It reads as follows:

    “Cordially addressed to a Jonathan Sims,” which should confirm that the letter was meant for him. Somehow, he doesn’t feel all too reassured.

    “Master Elias Bouchard,” as a bolded heading, the pompous bastard, “requests the pleasure of your company for a grand ball on Monday the 24th from 4 until 9. Formal dress code will be enforced, and refreshments provided.”

    -

    A Victorian-esque Jonelias AU, in which Jonathan is invited to a magnificent manor and cannot shake the sensation of eyes watching him from every direction. He must get to the bottom of it, and Lord Bouchard seems to have the answers he craves.

    Summary

    Sasha fixed Tim and Martin with a glare that was deathly serious. “But why should that stop us? It is— or was, I suppose, given... everything— our literal job to investigate supernatural events. If the police won’t figure out what happened to the Institute, we’ll do it. Doesn’t everyone deserve that? Doesn’t Jon deserve that?

    In the face of an unyielding apocalypse, the being that was once Jonathan Sims has a final, desperate idea. The archival assistants pick up the pieces.

    Summary

    Jon opens the door.

    Jon closes his eyes.

    And he weeps.

    (Martin ends just as the world does, his body crumbling under the violent, crying Eye splitting the sky open. The knife in his hand has fallen to the ground, red blood mixing with black ink. The web carved on the blade isn’t visible anymore.

    He has no hands, no arms, no mouth, no heart, but he knows he holds Jon against him until the end, whispering Love in his ear as they cry.)

    (Sasha looks up from the Institute's lobby, Tim gasping as their eyes lock onto the first floor's balcony just outside Elias Bouchard's office. And Jon looks back at them.

    His nose is bleeding and his eyes are feral when he walks down with a calm smile. Sasha doesn’t outright notice the scars littering his skin, scars that were absent only an hour ago, as she gapes back at Tim who seems one second away from fainting.)

    Summary

    Roman loves his family.

    He loves them so much he’s glad he’s supposed to; the fire that burns at the center of his chest that rumbles happily when one of them smiles at him, or wraps him up in their arms, it’s so happy, so happy, so happy they’re his.

    That’s the way it’s supposed to be, right?
