    Summary

    Jonathan Sims never truly meant to work directly with the supernatural. Fresh out of academia and more comfortable among dusty journals than people, he applies for a research position at the enigmatic Magnus Institute. It's supposed to be simple: analyse statements, trace their folklore roots, maybe publish something no one reads.

    But nothing about the Institute is simple. The cases are strange. And Elias Bouchard, Head of the Magnus Institute, takes an unusual interest in him from the moment they meet.

    or,
    Jonah Magnus lost Jonathan Fanshawe once. He doesn’t intend to make the same mistake again.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Silly author's not a true Londoner...they don't know that the "tube" comes too frequently to have issues with punctuality, to the point that you don't even need to check a schedule beforehand. It does stop in the nasty, coal-filled tunnels pretty often, but that isn't the norm. Tut tut.

    Otherwise though this seems pretty promising; hope they finish it.

    Summary

    Sua knows what she likes, on an aesthetic level: Mizi’s collarbones peeking out from beneath the loose robe, draped in pink; the elegant bridge of her nose and the round spectacles perched atop it; the light and lively iridescence of her voice. Ivan’s stately shoulders couldn’t be more of an antithesis.

    Summary

    A young man stands by the water's edge, alone and bruised with blood running down the inside of his thigh. He has spent his entire life living in the shadows: forced into a box too small to contain him. He exists in a world which does not see his worth or his beauty, with humans who cannot comprehend the glory he would unleash if only he were given the space to spread his wings.

    Now there is something in the water that coils around him with the soft embrace of a lover. It reaches out a dripping hand. Whispers offers of power and freedom.

    But offers such as these always come with a price.

    Written for Sebaciel Summer Spree 2024.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    One of my favourite fics, not for any particular justifiable reason...it's just special to me, y'know? Like the melody of a nostalgic song, or the first breath you take in the morning, or losing something and being left with just the memories. None of those things make sense, but you cling to them anyway.
