    Summary

    Against all odds, Jon figures out a way to reverse the apocalypse - a Web and Spiral domain that should be able to send him back in time. In order to make things as uncomplicated as possible, the plan is for him to travel back to just before the apocalypse started.

    Instead he wakes up in 1995, in his eight-year-old body.

    Stuck in the past at an age when nobody will take him seriously, Jon will have to team up with some of his worst enemies if he wants to survive to see the future he knows... and unfortunately, things just keep on getting more complicated from there.

    Summary

    Gerry is deep in the world of supernatural, his entire life he was taught about the Fears and everything relating to them, while Michael somehow remained clueless. Until Gerry tells him. Once he knows the truth, memories resurface, Michael learns to see the world in an entirely different light, and Gerry is by his side to help him through it.

    Falling in love is easy, but actually doing something about it is a challenge neither of them seems ready to face. But it's alright, because no matter the nature of their relationship, Gerry and Michael know they can count on each other for anything, even in their darkest moments.
    -
    "Gerry realizes he's only an idiot for questioning this. He sits closer to Michael and wraps an arm around him. How could he ever think about walking away when they fit so perfectly together?"

    Summary

    Eric asked for Mary to let him live. She agreed, on one condition: his staying away from Gerard.

    13 years later, after a run in with Eric (literally), Mary throws Gerard out.

    Eric is more than happy to take his son in. It certainly isn't always perfect. Not when Gerard is desperate to show mum he can be good enough for her to love, and when he feels entirely out of place in the normal world.

    Summary

    Man I don't know anymore

    -----
    Eric was bored. It was a mundane Tuesday morning in the archives. Gertrude was out on some job halfway across the world and Wright had been holed up in his office for the passed couple of days. He had just the idea.

    Summary

    “You do know of the three assistants you have, two of them serve the Web, right?” Gerard asked. She did look surprised, to her credit. Or at least, she looked like someone trying to look surprised anyway.

    Summary

    When Eric Delano decides not to quit, he comes up with a new plan. Keep his head down. Survive the Archives. Raise Gerry. Easy. It's just three steps, and all of them are so that his son grows up safe, happy, and loved. This changes things.

    (Unfortunately for both him and Gerry, he didn't include get away from Mary in his quick-and-easy plan.)


    "I can never really bring myself to push back from people. And Mary pushed so hard. Harder, even, than you. And I let her ... I knew what she was, I, I think. What she was capable of. But I convinced myself that I was safe, that she loved me. It made me feel special. That I was somehow protected from all the cold cruelty that she tried to keep hidden, but leaked out in so many ways."

    Summary

    “I’m eight.” The kid sniffs as if eight was any different from four, maybe not an unspeakable horror then, just a regular horror. “And I heard that the Magnus Institute deals with-” his little nose scrunches, cute. “-spooky things.”

    “Do you have a-” He cracks a grin, and then rethinks it as small hands tighten against their burden.”-spooky thing to deliver?” Gods he hopes not, it’s bad enough when adults walk in and lay out all of their baggage, but for a child-

    “There’s a spider in this book.” The kid says solemnly, raising his textbook sized parcel. “It ate Evan Pritchard.” a bloody fucking Leitner. Of course an eight year old would find a murder spider book. “This seemed like the best place to bring it.”

    Summary

    Since he started working for Peter Lukas, the name Adelard Dekker follows Martin. What did this man do to be of such importance to an Avatar of the Lonley? And so he starts his investigation, hidden from Lukas' eyes, diving deeper not only into Dekker's life but into the history of the Archives under Gertrude. In the end, researching statements is what Martin did for the last few years. And maybe these tapes can tell him, what to do better. If better is still an option.

    Summary

    Ever since Alan died of things Elias could not explain, he knew he would never be able to live his life normally. Getting a call from the Magnus Institute calling for a "follow up" interview for a job he never applied for just added to that fact. But maybe, just maybe, he could fix some things before he died his inevitable death.

    (Or what if the 1985 crew didn't fuck everything up?)

    Gertrude Robinson’s research into the rituals makes a breakthrough. Unfortunately, it comes through actual children showing up at the Institute with knowledge they shoudn't have and a lot of issues they're working through - both personally, and amongst each other.
