    Summary

    Tim grins. “Free spirit here. Nothing to tie me down.”

    “Maybe someone ought to.”

    “… what?” Tim turns around.

    Jon is frozen in place, eyes wide at what he just said.

    “Someone ought to tie me up?” Tim grins wider. “Yeah, that sounds nice. You offering?”

    “Don’t be ridiculous,” Jon mutters, but it’s not his usual biting tone. He sounds … caught off guard. Flustered even.

    Summary

    “I’m … an alpha.” Martin says it like he’s confessing to a murder.

    Tim and Sasha exchange a look. Sasha’s surprised, and Tim looks concerned. When they look at Jon, all Jon looks is vaguely ill, like any omega does when they’re in heat and nobody’s touching them.

    “I’ll just um, go sit over here.” Martin mumbles, shuffling over to Sasha and the air filter.

    Summary

    “Could you … I mean …” Jon feels heat rising to his face. “Do that again?”

     

    Georgie barks out a laugh, giving him a playful shove. At his expression she stops laughing. “Really?”

    “… yeah.” Jon looks down at his arm. The mark is fading fast, it was only a joke after all. He’s been silly.

    “Ok. Let’s do this properly then.” Georgie scoots closer to him and takes his face in her hands. “Didn’t think you were the vampire type, Mr. Sims,” she lowers her voice, still teasing, but a little daring now, full of promise.

    Summary

    Martin makes Jon tea for the first time about a week into his transfer. It’s horrible. Gag-reflex inducing. Somehow sporting all the wrong flavors.

    For some reason, he does not have the heart to break this to Martin.

    Little does Jon know that Martin actually makes wonderful tea. Just not for him.

    Summary

    “Have you got anywhere to stay?” Jon asks him, briskly. “Friends, acquaintances, maybe, who you could stay with…?”

    Martin flushes, deeply. “I, I mean— n-no, not really,” he stammers, and then goes even redder. “Or, just, y’know not that I’d want to, to. Put in the middle of this. Put in danger of, of worms.”

    “Ah,” Jon says, “No, of course, that makes sense.” Why drag anyone else into this mess? Seven people died during Prentiss’s initial hospitalization; the collateral damage of roping someone from outside the Institute into her orbit doesn’t bare thinking about. “In that case…” Jon feels like there’s some alternative solution, one he’s just not thinking of at the moment, but it evades him, and Martin needs somewhere safe to stay. “My couch is quite comfortable. You’re welcome to come and stay with me until you figure something else out.”

     

    Martin is held hostage by Jane Prentiss for two weeks, and can't go back to his flat. Jon offers him a place to stay until Prentiss and her worms can be dealt with, and they can be sure he's safe.

    Summary

    Martin can see the way that Jon's hands shake, and the dark bruises around his eyes. He notices the jitters and the skipped meals and the way that Jon is first in the Archives in the morning, and last out at night, assuming he ever leaves.

    It can't go on. And Martin thinks that he might have a solution.

    Summary

    Jon sighed and took a sip of his drink. He raised an eyebrow at the group as they stared in varying degrees of total shock.

    “I went to university.” he said simply, “Never have I eve-“

    “No no, hang on.” Tim cut him off, “You went on a drug bender in uni!?”

    Summary

    Martin pops it in the recorder, puts his headphones on, and presses play.

    “Statement of Jonathan Sims,” the recorder plays into his ear, hissed and cracking. Jon sounds so tired. “Regarding a childhood encounter with a book previously possessed by Jurgen Leitner.”

    Martin goes still.

    Summary

    It’s a nice dress. Classy, if also a little risqué. Set off against dark skin, it looks very good. It would probably work on Jon, actually. He wonders where she got it. Then he remembers he’s at work, and abruptly derails that train of thought.

    -

    The women of the Magnus Institute are holding a protest against the sexist dress code of their place of work. Jon is conflicted, and also has a gender for some reason. What's up with that?

    Summary

    "Ha! I remember those days. The baby grumps. I was a mess when my Vera was expecting our first." Mr. Porter offers Martin a tablet and a conspiratorial smile. "The oven timer went off and I just about kicked the door in. Left a big old dent right in the middle. Oh, was she ever cross.”

    Martin, who is pretty sure he heard Jon earnestly threaten to maul the smoke detector the other day, nods knowingly as he scribbles his signature. From inside the house, there's a muffled banging sound, like someone just closed a cabinet with unnecessary force.

    Mr. Porter just chuffs cordially back at Jon. Haha, easy there. No worries. No hard feelings, fellow.

    In response, there's a protracted, grating rasp of I'm watching you.

    Summary

    Sometimes Martin envies type A people their extensive vocabulary of subvocalizations. They get to use their subvocal suite to communicate perfectly reasonable things, like back off and that's mine and hello sexy. Unlike Martin, whose subvocals exist for the sole purpose of making him sound like the biggest, whiniest baby. Especially when he's coming up on a heat.

    Martin keeps it under wraps as best he can, but there's only so long he can hold it in. So, sometimes, after a long workday, Martin double-checks that everyone else has left the archives, makes sure the door at the top of the stairs is locked, and lets loose a bit. Throws himself a little pity party. He's entitled to it. He's earned it.

    Specifically, it's the kind of pity party that involves relaxing the muscles of his throat, feeling the vibrating thrum building up behind his teeth, and exhaling out a mournful trill of hello? I'm here? Is anyone there? I'm here. I'm all alone.

    Summary

    “So how is it so far?” Tim asks, taking a slow sip of his beer. He looks over to Jon, raising a curious eyebrow, and Jon flushes.

    Tim had given him so much advice about how everything would go. What changes to expect in the first few weeks, months, what would feel natural and what would catch him off-guard. He seemed to relish it in a way he only did when he was properly digging into his research and had something to share with Jon or Sasha in one of his specialist areas; he liked playing the expert, and this was something that he knew like the back of his hand. Even now, there’s a gleam to Tim’s eyes as he looks Jon over.

    Jon tries to think of the politest way to say “I believe I am effectively going through a thirteen year old boy’s puberty and menopause simultaneously and I have never been sweatier in my entire life.”

    Summary

    Martin gnaws his lower lip. “Do you think he’ll - I mean, do you think it’ll be…”

    Melanie's smile becomes a little less of a grimace. She claps his shoulder. “Martin. It’ll be fine. It’s only temporary. He’s not moving in.”

    Martin chuckles. “Yes. Of course.”

    Jon's flat is being fumigated. He is not impressed. Martin offers his spare bedroom.
