    Summary

    Martin's been lonely before. He's no stranger to how it feels - he just wasn't supposed to feel this way with Jon. But as emotions bubble over, and tensions between the two rise, Martin finds out he's not the only one who's been struggling behind the scenes.

    Summary

    Unable to form words behind the gag in his mouth, Jon hummed in response. It was funny, he thought, how such a simple device could do so much. Could render him so helpless. Just a ring of rubber and some straps, nothing more. The thing was of a good quality, of course- it’d originally been part of Tim’s collection, after all. Smooth and sleek, with a buckle that Jon would be hard pressed to undo on his own, even with the use of his hands.

    Not that that was a bad thing.

    No, Jon liked the gag. It might have been a little uncomfortable, especially at first, but it helped. When he wore it, he didn’t have to worry. Not about accidentally compelling someone, or worse, purposefully compelling someone. Not even about putting his foot in his mouth and making a blunder of things. He couldn’t. He simply didn’t have the choice.

    Summary

    Martin had long since accepted that he would never be anyone’s first choice. That was just how it was. The fact that John cared enough about him to do all of that, to save him and want him here at his side; it was more than he ever could have hoped. So what if he didn’t love him back? So what if John would never feel the same way for him as Martin did for John? He was used to pining, he was never meant to have anything requited. He’d perfected romanticizing a life of longing for a reason.

    Aka mutual pining becomes a love confession becomes a discussion on asexuality and touch and PTSD

    Summary

    They saw new sides of each other, living together. Martin got to see pre-coffee Jon – a monster made of bedhead and irritability – and Jon, while helping Martin convert the couch-bed back into a couch, saw Martin genuinely angry for the first time. (It was odd to think that there was a level of unhappiness Jon hadn’t seen from him, given their recent experience of nearly being eaten by worms together, but that rusted goddamn bedframe was enough to bring it out in him.) As Martin broke out some of the more creative curses in his repertoire, Jon gave up on the bed to simply watch in awe.

    They learned other things about each other as well. Jon was a surprisingly courteous houseguest (courteous to a fault, if anything - he must have said the sentence “Whatever you want is fine” about 15 times as they were figuring out dinner plans, which was nice and all but not helpful, Jon!) and a surprisingly heavy sleeper. He liked to wear socks around the house, and he never remembered to refill the brita, and he sang in the shower, surprisingly well.

     

    After Leitner's death, Jon flees to Martin's apartment. Some things change, many stay the same.

    Summary

    People don't really touch Jonathan Sims unless they want to hurt him. That's mostly fine. Jon has never been a tactile person, and he doesn't need anyone but himself.

    Except the world is falling down around him, and loneliness aches, and sometimes he'll take anything - even cruelty - just to feel human again.

    *A story set between s1 and s4, looking at Jon's relationship with touch, friendship, and his own humanity.

    Summary

    He wasn’t sure if Martin would forgive him for this. He doubted the others would. He was going behind their backs, betraying them, because he had to, and he hated himself for it so much. But he couldn’t doom even more people to suffer, he couldn’t let anyone else be manipulated and made a mouthpiece for the end of the world the way he had. He couldn’t let anyone else have their agency ripped out of them, their voice no longer their own, feeling the sick crawl of words that would not stop, that slithered out of him, dooming the world, having to live with it because it was his fault his fault his fault—

    Summary

    Somewhere Else, freedom is frightening, grief is complicated and safety doesn't still terror.

    ***

    Jon swallowed hard, and raised his hand to join Martin’s at his jaw.

    “It isn’t that. Well – not entirely. I’m not going to pretend that I hated being sure about things.”

    Because I never was before. I was clever and watchful, but small and strange. I had to be watchful to understand the things that came so easily to others. I had to be small, else there would have been no space for me. The Eye made me sure in a way I had yearned for my whole life. It told me terrible things. It nurtured me. It completed me.

    “What is it then?”

    Jon shut his eyes, and brought his and Martin’s hands down from his face, into his lap.

    “If I cannot see you, I cannot keep you safe.”

    Martin sighed heavily. He brought their hands up to his lips.

    “Oh, Jon,” he breathed into the back of his own.
