    Summary

    Tucked into a spare corner of Morden, Martin Blackwood stumbles upon a magical bookstore where all of life’s burdens seem to ease.
    Gerry Keay calls this place their home, and they’re determined to fill it with a family, though the ghost of their mother continues to haunt everything they build.
    Jon and Martin aren’t sure of too many things, but they do know they’ll happily walk through any tempest that allows them to keep Gerry safe, even if that means facing Mary Keay head-on.

    Martin Blackwood was going to die, and he knew it.

    or, what if Martin didn't survive the incidents of MAG 22: Colony?

    Summary

    “You’re really suggesting this,” Martin says, voice pulled thin.
    “Yes.” No hesitation.
    “You would- actually do it?”
    “I would.”
    “With me.”
    Yes, Martin.”
    “Why?” Because love is blind, says something cliché and cruel in the pit of his gut. Christ, he never was much of a poet, was he?

    Or,

    When Jon asks Martin to Quit the Archives with him, Martin says yes. Things don't go as planned. In the Scottish Highlands, they hurt, and they heal.

    Summary

    God, it really is him. Fine, he'll admit it. He had some fleeting fantasies of meeting the boy who gave him the sea glass cradled around his necklace once again. The one who actually made him feel a little less lonely in the world. But this was a bit ridiculous. He spares a glance back at Jon to flash a reassuring smile, pretending like he's not gathering every detail about his face. Martin chides himself for not realizing earlier. Minus the grey in his hair and obvious signs of aging, Jon really hasn't changed much.

    Except he got handsome.

    His mind supplies and Martin suppresses a groan. Now was not the time to unearth the boyish crush he really thought died years ago.

     

    AU where Martin is a selkie living in Bournemouth. Him and Jon met once as children and Jon gave Martin a rare piece of sea glass that he now wears as a necklace. Jon is a hydrologist and visits Bournemouth again for a research study and they meet all over again. Some canon-typical danger in a few chapters (will be tagged), but overall lots of fluff and pining in between <3 we are very slow to update but won't leave this fic unfinished!

    Summary

    "Oh." the word came out sounding far too close to a squeak for Martin's liking. "I- um- you- are you sure?"

    "Yes Martin, I'm sure. I wouldn't have offered if I wasn't." he replied with a fond, long-suffering sigh.

    "I like doing things for you."

    Apparently Jon had filed getting his boyfriend off under things he would like to do for him.
