Summary
Jonathan Sims was Head Archivist of the Magnus Institute.
He’d been hoping for a better job for a while, really. Research didn’t pay well enough. So, when Elias Bouchard, his boss, offered him the position, he accepted with little thought.
And now, here he sat, just him and his assistants.
And of course, the swarm of moths that followed him everywhere.

Wings Twitch, Legs are Going (Don’t Get Sentimental) by DevilBoy_BloodBath for candyskiez
Fandoms: The Magnus Archives (Podcast), Malevolent (Podcast)

Summary
It is 1934, and the Magnus Institute has not YET been infested with worms, though Mr. Blackwood surely has rambled on about them plenty to the Archivist’s horror. Jonathan Sims reads a statement about one Arthur Lester that feels far too much like a man reaching into a different sort of wasp’s nest, (or like one is reaching into HIM) though, and curiosity truly is an awful sort of thing. He’s always been quite a moth to a flame, hasn’t he?
Or; AU in which Arthur and John are part of the TMA universe but everyone is in 1934 and things get Insectoid.
(Title is from Let Down by Radiohead. Yes. I know. I know...)

The Cube Rule of Food Identification by bluejayblueskies

Summary
Martin stands abruptly. His chair spins away from him, wheels squeaking on the cheap lino floor. The tension between him and Jon has reached never-before-seen levels. Tim could probably cut it with a knife. Or a particularly sharp spoon.
Then, Jon lurches forward and half-clambers atop the desk and kisses Martin, and Tim drops his sandwich.
.
Or, season one Jon and Martin receive memories from the future mid-argument, and Tim and Sasha receive emotional whiplash.

Enemies to Lovers: JonMartin Speedrun Edition by BaySprout

Summary
“This isn’t a fucking dream, Tim!” Her friend only laughs.
“Of course it is, Sasha. Because if this isn’t a dream, then Jon and Martin really stopped mid argument to make out with each other and hug like reunited lovers, and now our boss really is holding our other boss in place with magic word powers while sweet, loveable, clumsy, tea-making Martin brutally tears out his eyes with a fucking corkscrew.” He pauses. “Oh, and then began repeatedly stabbing him in the heart with a pocket knife.”
Sasha looks back over, and sure enough, Martin has discarded the gory corkscrew and tackled Elias to the ground, now plunging the knife into Elias’s chest.
“Oh, my god,” she breathes, and maybe Tim is right, because this really can’t be happening right now.

Summary
He sat on the edge of his bed, wings curled loosely behind him. They moved when he breathed - subtle, unconscious shifts, like how a hand might twitch when asleep. He could feel them in a way that was beyond just pain.
They weren’t just attached.
They were his.
That's the worst part.

Jon gets dunked into avatarhood by Beholding mid-season 1, it also decides to turn him into a moth.

Summary
“Well, boys,” says John Lee Pettimore. His voice is tiny and far away. He must be shouting for Jon to hear him. “Looks like we’re not in Kansas any more.”
“I don’t think,” Jon says, slow and labored, “we’ve been in Kansas for a long time.”
John says, What are you two FUCKING talking about?
Trapped in a strange place with even stranger people, Jonathon Sims doesn’t know where to turn. Arthur Lester craves absolution he won’t let himself earn. Keith Vigna learns what it’s like to burn. And beneath them all, ITS CLOUDED DEPTHS churn.
(Three-way crossover. Can be read without knowledge of all three podcasts!)

Summary
While it isn't terribly ideal to drag an Ancient One through the void, stuff it into the Archive, and use the cosmic "blend" setting on high, Jon's got no other choice if he wants to exist again after leaving his old reality.
Another round at predictable events with more time to prepare and more abilities to utilize should mean keeping everyone safe is a piece of cake, but it's more of a chaotic donut with unexpected filling than anything else.
Or, The Fanfic Equivalent of A Large Flailing Inflatable. It's bigger than it has any right to be, weirdly fun to watch unfold, and it goes exactly where you'd expect while hitting other places you had no idea were even an option.

Sasha pulls at her hair, frizzy and sodden. “None of this makes sense!” she moans.
“It makes sense,” Melanie says, “if you know the rules.”
“Dream logic,” Martin says, not entirely knowing why.
“Right!” Melanie says, beaming. “This is a nightmare, and you’re all trapped in it.”
“And how do we get out of it?” Martin asks. He gets the sense that his life has been one long unending nightmare for a while now, and he’d really like that to not be the case anymore.
“You wake up."-------
The tether is severed.
The tapes unwind.
Reality folds in on itself.
And, in the last heartbeat of a life, something goes wrong.Bookmarked by Winged_Creature

Summary
Jon thought that the Circus had him for about two and a half weeks before Gerry found him. Two and a half weeks tied to that chair at the mercy of Nikola, unable to escape, unable to stop her from treating him like another doll in her collection. In a way she got what she wanted—Jon had never felt more like a stranger in his own skin.
After two and a half weeks Gerry found him, took him home, peeled him an orange, and reminded him what gentleness is. The peel of an orange beneath fingernails speaks a thousand words. Healing won’t come easy, but it will come, and Gerry will be right there beside him.
[This fic is rated M for depictions of sexual assault. The assault is Nikola moisturizing Jon. NO explicit content/sex is in this fic. Please read my author’s note for more details of the CWs!!]

Summary
The thing is, Jonathan Sims is someone you’d call the police on if you saw him hanging around a school, those frazzled clothes and bags under his eyes, the frantic muttering and thousand-year stare.
Yet there he sits, headteacher of The Magnus Institute for Gifted Young Minds.
The name’s a bit misleading, it is. They’re in a bad part of town. The parents are either terrible or absent, and the kids—
“They’re monsters,” his new and handsome coworker grins, when Martin’s signature on his contract is barely dry. “Absolute monsters. Get too close and you’ll lose some fingers. Or maybe your mind.”
“They’re babies,” is all Martin can feebly manage, in reply, and Tim’s eyes narrow at the fondness in his voice.
“You’ll learn.”- Language:
