Summary
“Hello,” says the preposterously good looking version of Tim. “Is Tim here?”
“Oh-- no, I’m sorry. He went out to do some fieldwork. He should be back in… I don’t know, it could be a while, actually. I could call him?” Martin belatedly stands up. It feels weird, having a conversation with someone while seated several feet away from them. He approaches him.
“No, that’s alright,” says the man who is even prettier close up. It’s awful. “I’ll just see him at his flat, then. Thought I could catch him for a brief chat at work while I was in the neighborhood.”
“I could tell him you stopped by?” he suggests. “What’s your name?”
“Danny,” the man says. “I’m his little brother.”

Summary
This place is creepy. His immediate instinct is to turn back around and leave.
And go where? Back to his empty flat? To a bar, to drink himself miserably drunk?
Jon heads deeper inside the taxidermy store. He has to walk slowly, carefully, and still almost pulls a fox to the floor when its fangs snag on his shirt. He’s carefully plucking the fabric free from the teeth when a light, airy, feminine voice says, “My, my, what do we have here?”

Summary
Jonathan Sims is not a man. It is not a human. It likes to act like one. But it is a combination of entities beyond human understanding. It loves its avatars in all their strange murderous glory. It is not here to make friends. But it might just end up with a few more than it realized.
OR
I wanted a fic where Jon was an overpowered Eldritch abomination. I also love morally grey Jon, here I am shoving it on you. Also Gertrude is alive, just because I love hating on her. Might have a coherent story, it might just have a bunch of one-shots, I’ll see where it goes.

Summary
Tim and Martin think that something is wrong with Jon. And not in usual way.
Actually, they're right, in a way. But when they ask, Jon gets all nervous and awkward and keeps saying something about "rats in the tunnels"
OR; Jon finds out that 14 versions of him are hiding in the tunnels under the Magnus institute until they'll be able to go back to their universes, and they're making his life as hard as it possible while being harmless (for the most part) (maybe)

Summary:
Something happened to Jon, but Tim still has to blow up the circus to avenge his brother, Sasha, and Jon. Except, he doesn't have to avenge Jon.
-
“Tim. They can’t see you here. They’ll kill you.” He looked properly scared for Tim. The thing wearing Jon’s skin took his hand away carefully, looking him over, “You have to leave. I don’t want you getting hurt.”Maybe that was when it clicked, the genuine fear that showed on the others face could convince anyone. And, he had the same gait truly. He just was off. Different now. Tim knew that was because he was of Stranger now. For some reason he couldn't find it in himself to hate Jon, even when he was a part of the thing he hated, that took so much from him. He wanted to hate him. He wanted to shout at him and drag him out into the open, set off the detonator as the evil clowns came running, go out with a bang.
-
“But you have to live for me to do that so please go-” His voice stopped, the static in the air raising. Tim saw that Jon was looking at the detonator in his hand, his eyes zooming in and then zooming out.
-
“Hello Little Record! Did You See Anyone?”“Why Nikola? I’ve been in here practicing all day, and night.”
The voice laughed, grossly pitched and loud, “Oh Silly! If You See Anyone, Kill Them! You’re Doing Great Dancing!”
-
Basira watched him, and he found it hard to feel disturbed. She was scared, scared of him not being human. It was easy to feed the Stranger, and she was doing all the work for him. All he had to do was exist, and wasn't that just freeing?“You have more questions Basira. Ask them.” He had no compulsion anymore, but she still opened her mouth to speak.
“Why didn’t you come back?”
-
“You’re coming back with me.”Jon stepped back, trepidation and slight anger coloring his voice, “No. I can’t I-”
“Jon, you either come back with me or I’m Daisy to bring you back.”
At that Jon glared, “She’d kill me.”
“Then it’s safer to come with me isn't it?” she adjusted her headwrap, looking expectantly.
“...Let me get my coat.”
-“Yes I did. I didn’t want to die.” He only lived because he knew what Tim was doing. He was out of the tent in seconds, trying not to cry at the feeling of loss that accompanied the explosives and the screams of people he had become close with, no matter how monstrous they were.
“You brought me here didn’t you.”
Jon took a breath, “I wasn’t going to leave you in the middle of nowhere passed out. I'm not heartless. Well.” He hid his laugh with a fake cough, clearing his throat unnecessarily.
He felt the eyes of everyone and clenched his fist, before looking up and speaking, hair falling in his face, “Let me explain.”
--------------
“How did you know I was alive, Basira?” Jon asked after he had explained his weird addition to the circus. He left out the parts that would have made him tear up, kept out how much safer he had felt there than here, that would have been rude. Might have made them hate him even more.
Basira turned and left the room and he was about to call after her when she came back with a folder.
“Statements. About something that dances and mimics. They all described you to a T. Long grey streaked hair, green eyes, posh voice.”
-“You aren't working here but you are stuck with us!” Tim clapped his shoulder and he could feel a bit of a smile building.
“Ah of course. I do have a job though, nights at the silk studio.”
Tim gasped, trying to hide his emotions with humor once more, “Jonathan Spooky Sims working at a dance place? You, the literal librarian with bad joints?”
Jon huffed, “Yes well I’ve changed a bit.” The air got a bit more solemn and he realized that he had sounded dour. With a cringe he looked around, at anything but their faces.
“But I can stay here, even if I have to keep my uh, grandpa? Aesthetic?” He sounded very much like an old person trying to quote a vine they don't know. Martin tried to hide a laugh and Tim and Daisy didn’t bother. He smiled a bit, glad that he had done something right.
Tim stopped laughing and then looked at him, “What are you wearing?”
Jon was still wearing a dark green silks outfit and he pulled the jacket closer, a little embarrassed.
“Look at you! Little Gymnast.”
“Tim I am older than you.”
“And you’re shorter, so, little.”
-Melanie had quit, after Jon had told everyone how they could. He was glad she was safe with Georgie. They even got updates every once in a while, how the healing process was going, learning braille, anniversaries, anything about the Admiral.
It was nice. Being Stranger almost made him fonder.

Summary
Jon doesn’t know when Nikola untied him. He doesn’t know when she swept him into a frantic parody of a waltz, her painted smile too wide, too welcoming. He doesn’t know when he stopped resisting it; worse, he doesn’t know when he began to lead.

Summary
I project onto Jon MagnusArchives, and I will be doing so through each fear I can.
This is one of those 'what if jon was an avatar for X entity' things,, because i love them and i'm nothing if not self indulgent. I have no schedule or order for posting these, so,,,, i guess don't hold your breath, but do keep an eye out.
thanks :)
