Summary
“It’s okay. You can talk to me.”
Martin huffed at that. “Look who’s talking.” Jon would be nothing if not a hypocrite. “Yeah, theoretically? I can, but…maybe I shouldn’t. It might be better off to box this up and leave it in the closet. Let it collect dust.”
“You and I both know that’s not what you want right now.” Jon said quietly, carefully ignoring the jab towards him as he felt muscles ease beneath his fingertips.
Or; Jon and Martin have a long overdue conversation five days after the events of MAG 159.

Summary
So when words had caught his attention he is arm shot out and stopped the tape.
He rewound it just a bit.
And played it again.
“It seemed like a good way to get killed.”
He rewound it.
And played it.
He’d like to say his fingers were being controlled by the eye, forcing him to listen to the god awful confession over and over again. Each time making him queasier than the last.
Or Martin is sad and Jon is there to comfort him

Summary
“God, I missed mum's kimchi,” Tim smiled. He popped the lid off the jar on the table and the smell hit Martin with enough force he had to turn his head. It was such a strong scent of pure spice that his eyes watered a bit. “She made a huge batch last weekend when my aunts came to visit. First time she's made any since… well, in a few years, anyway.”
“What… what is it, exactly?” Martin asked with trepidation. He sat down near Tim and fought the urge to cover his nose with his hand.
Tim's smile widened into a grin.

You know, my mum, she always hated my freckles?Ever since I was a kid, she would, she would make faces at them. [SMALL LAUGH]
In the summer, when I spent too much time in the sun and more showed up, when they got darker? She’d stare at me and just, just sigh, like she was disappointed. It wasn’t like I could do anything about it, and we couldn’t afford sunscreen, so I just, I just -[STUTTERED BREATH, A LOADED PAUSE]

Summary
He couldn’t feel his hands. Martin did not realize he’d been losing his grip at all until all at once, he couldn’t feel his hands.
He’d had lost track of the seconds he’d wasted pressing his fingers together, counting each press. Index to thumb. One. Thumb to middle. Two. Thumb to ring. Three. He’d done well, at first, getting all the way up to twenty before his brain scrambled and he had to start over again. He’d skip a finger and shake his head, then his hands, as if to wipe it all away. Then, he’d start again.Index to thumb.
One.
Thumb to middle.
Two.
Thumb to ring.
Three.
Thumb to middle.
No, no, no, that’s all wrong. That’s not the order. You’ve done it again. Start over.--
In which Martin is desperate for love and terrified of being alone. -

Summary
He doesn’t know how long they’ve been laying here, how long it’s been since they closed the curtains on the foggy morning outside and Jon wiped the tears from his cheeks. Martin had clung to him as Jon coaxed him to sitting, and then laying, on the bed. They didn’t even have time to start their morning properly, hadn’t gotten so far as even putting the kettle on before the weather outside set Martin off.
“I’m sorry,” Jon says. Martin blinks at him, opens his mouth to say something but doesn’t find any words. Jon squeezes his hand. “It must have been hard.”
In which Martin reflects how easy it is to be Lonely.
