    Summary

    Jon snaps to awareness. His breath feels as if it’s being punched out of him and when he drags air back into his lungs it is like his throat, the soft flesh of it, is having razor barbed wire tugged through it. He clutches at the shirt over his chest, pulling at the worn cotton until the collar cuts into his skin by his neck and rubs it raw.

    ”Jon?” Martin’s voice comes from next to him. ”Are you alright?”

    A nightmare, and a difficult conversation at the end of humanity.

    Summary

    Jon never thought much about the Magnus Institute. At least, not before Mr. Spider. Giving a statement won't do anything, not really, but it'll be nice just to get it off his chest.
    (Yes Jon, everything will be just fine I'm sure)

    or

    The Institute has a subsection of the Archives that deals with and takes statements from kids. After his encounter with A Guest For Mr. Spider, Jon decides to go and give his statement. This goes very well.
    (sorry I'm shit at making summaries lmao)

    Summary

    You find a book whilst cleaning the children's section at your job at the library.

    I mean, sure, the way the shiny holographic eyes catch the light and seem to blink at you is extremely creepy.

    But it's just a children's book.

    Nothing to be afraid of.

    So why are your hands shaking? And why are you opening the book to turn to the first page, where Mr Archivist has been waiting for you...

    Summary

    In the aftermath of Mr Spider, Jon develops a new habit. A new duty, to keep others safe.

    A compulsion. Check every book to make sure there is nothing there, nothing that could hurt anyone else.

    Adults wouldn't understand; they never do.

    Summary

    The characters who become monsters – or avatars – in The Magnus Archives also become something else: traumatised. The Magnus Archives, a horror fiction podcast written by Jonathan “Jonny” Sims tackles nuanced topics such as personality change and addiction due to trauma, as well as the perpetuation of the cycle of violence, through the lens of becoming an avatar.

    Summary

    “I see you…” Jon muttered, glaring at the spider as he got close enough to kill it…

    “Hey Jon, I’ve got that- …What are you doing?”

    -----

    Martin prevents Jon from killing a spider in his office. This changes the course of events rather more drastically than one might expect.

    Summary

    The Mother of Puppets can twitch the strings, but it's far from omniscient. A rat-gnawed wire, a system failure, a pair of people who prefer to wait to leave (to avoid crowds, to work late, doesn't matter) and the whole Plan gets thrown into chaos without the Web's knowledge.
    Jon and Gerry don't know about this, though. They're just focused on lasting a whole night stuck in a lift with a stranger without killing each other - or getting killed. (Whose bright idea was it to carry Leitners around the Institute, anyway?)
