Summary
The problem was this: Kepler wanted to be a part of Jacobi’s life. To be a part of it, yes, but not to own it.
“You’re not my commanding officer anymore, Warren,” Jacobi said when he came home. It was late and he was drunk, but not quite as late, not quite as drunk as he would’ve been once upon a time. “You’re not even my… You’re just my flatmate.”
Yeah. Yeah, okay.
AKA I don't like the "death as redemption" trope, so I decided Kepler needs to live with his mistakes.

Summary
The Not!Them has escaped, the Archival staff has scattered, and the Magnus Institute is in disarray. In his preparations for the Watcher's Crown, Jonah finds himself buried in paperwork; and on top of that, Peter Lukas has turned up again - freshly murdered, depressed, and possibly immortal. As he goes from crashing through Jonah's office window to crashing in his guest room, Jonah begins to realise that something isn't right. The Lukas family has more secrets than he'd initially assumed, and nothing is what it seems, least of all Peter himself... Not that Jonah has any room to judge, of course.
Additionally, he's pretty certain he is getting attached, which is both complicated and wildly unwise. The Lonely has never looked kindly upon that sort of thing.

Summary
"Actually, Sasha?" He's gone quieter, all of a sudden. "If I… if I talk to you, would you just. Have a conversation with me? Not talk over me, or be all eerie and silent but just… a conversation."
"Are you sure you don't want me to get Hamid?" Sasha blurts. "He's loads better at the, the talking and the words and--"
"No." Zolf presses a hand to his face. "If you don't want to, that's fine, but please don't. I've heard what Hamid has to say."
"Right," Sasha says, and proceeds to stumble all over her mouth agreeing.

Summary
Sasha slips away down the tunnels to search for an exit, leaving Zolf with a near catatonic Hamid. He wipes the grime from his face trying not to think about the walls of dirt closing in around him or the insistent ache of his mangled leg. He tries not to think about how he’ll manage to walk out of here, or if there even is an “out of here.” He tries not to think much at all.
Instead, he focuses on Hamid.

Summary
"How many ways can you stake your claim over someone?
At first, his claim was thrust upon him. She his tribute. His girl. His songbird. His victor. His shame. Who would have thought the heir to the once-great house of Snow would fall so far as to cheat for a District girl?
No. Not District. Covey. Still wasn’t Capitol, though."A purely self-indulgent, but still Hunger Games-esque, what if in which Coriolanus is capable of accepting and feeling love strong enough to deviate from the propaganda and allure of the Capitol.

Summary
Suspicion, ulterior motives, those were things Jon could take in stride. In the cold, impersonal halls of the Institute, no one went out of their way to be friends with him, not without their own reasons. Even with Tim and Sasha, the close proximity of their work required that they get along.
But Jon was Martin’s boss; they didn’t have to get along with each other. So then why …?
Because he’s kind, you knobhead.

Summary
“This is the Magnus Institute, not a creative writing course at university. If that doesn’t agree with him, he can leave.” There was a thud and the sound of rifling tapes. “He can take his bloody tea with him.”
Martin’s fingers tightened on the saucer. Oh.

Martin knows better than to talk about it. It's fine. He's fine.

This year I lost my dear husband, James (QUIT TELLING EVERYONE I'M DEAD) by Trefoil_9

Summary
Elias is too dramatic to just TELL Peter that he's transferred to a new body. Much more fun to watch and see what he does when he comes back from sea expecting James Wright, who is dead.
Peter is also too dramatic to wait for an explanation before feeding the Lonely and grieving his tragically deceased husband.
