Summary
Jonathan Sims was not a small man by most definitions of the word.
The confidence he exuded made others step back when his sharp eyes stared into theirs. His voice, deep and resonant, reinforced the impression of a broader, imposing figure. Perpetual stern expressions, though they made him no larger, made others feel small.
Despite this, Jonathan Sims stood at five foot four on a good day.

Martin can lift Jon like a child's toy. Jon experiences a revelation.

Summary
This was a decision, an active choice for Jon. If he wanted to, he could stop, but he had it down to a science—it streamlined his life. Why take that efficiency and throw it out the window?
~
It should be a celebration. The extra padding on his stomach pouch should be a victory. But when he looked at himself in the mirror, when he prodded the roundness filling out the apples of his cheeks and the newfound fat covering his ribs, dread seeped in.

Two stories, two addictions, two paths towards recovery.

Summary
‘Violet, tell your daddy to take a break.’
Ever the good girl and manipulative little shit, Violet set down her own project and executed her round, shiny eyes. It was as if she could see Jon’s resolve crumble before her, because she put a hand on his arm and pouted. His exasperated exterior cracked, and out seeped acquiescence coated by a betrayed look on his face. Evil. Evil, he said.Somewhere Else, Jon and Martin have a headstrong, brilliant child.

Summary
Jon hadn’t anticipated just how quiet it would be at Daisy’s cottage. He definitely hadn’t anticipated how that quiet settles something inside of him, like balm on an injury he didn’t know he had. He’d thought the lack of human presence would make him more aware of the loss still sitting in the pit of his stomach, heavy and solid, but it’s … it’s nice to have the space to process things. To know that he’s currently alone by choice, not by happenstance, and that he has the freedom to just be. Jon lets the solitude envelop him like a weighted blanket, warm and comfortable and safe.
It’s a few days later when he first meets the man who pets the cows.
.
Following the loss of his grandmother, Jon takes a sabbatical and moves up to northern Scotland to stay in Daisy's cabin and study the religious culture of the village near it. There, he meets Martin, his apparent and unwanted neighbor who makes odd jokes and seems to exist solely to ruin Jon's attempts at finally getting some peace and quiet. But as Jon spends more time with Martin, he begins to warm up to him and, as time goes on, to fall in love with him.
It just takes him a bit to realize that the man he's fallen in love with is a god.

Martin is an annoying neighbor who is good hearted and chatty, and also has an affinity for cultivating exotic flora.Aka tastytasty human/god romance for the soul

Summary
In his capacity as Peter Lukas' assistant, Martin dresses differently. The pale hues and muted blues of his family are smeared all over Martin like an bruise. It's formal. It's professional.
For reasons he's not willing to examine right now, Jon cannot handle this. At all.

Summary
This is what had always been most treacherous about the Forsaken One--people are usually acclimated to its presence, long before they’re sacrificed to it. Loneliness isn’t the experience of finding yourself the only person in an empty room. Most of the time, people feel loneliness like a habit. Sometimes, there’s no reason for it all.

Summary
Whatever he had predicted might happen, Jon wasn't expecting to survive upon demolishing the Panopticon. He certainly wasn't expecting to be rescued.
Instead, he wakes up in an alternative universe where he's never been the Archivist, and Martin Blackwood doesn't exist.
Martin Blackwood wakes up somewhere else entirely.

Summary
Martin had always been favored by the summer courts, and moving up north to the little village of Lacuna is a difficult adjustment. It's rainy and lonely and everyone seems to have a strange, distant relationship with the local faerie court.
However: there is a strange man in a cloak who walks past Martin's remote little cottage every few days.
However: there is a moth that keeps getting stuck in Martin's house during the rain.
These events are not as disconnected as they first appear.
