Summary
“...Sure,” Martin replied glumly. He wondered if this is how all those french people felt, back in the days of guillotines. “Huh— How do you think I should introduce myself to this Archivist, anyway? They are going to be my boss, technically speaking, so I suppose I can at least try to make a good first impression…?”
The look Tim and Sasha shared was… Certainly something.
“I don’t think introductions will really be required,” she said, delicately.
“Right. Ok. Sure. Do you know what their name is? I ought to at least know that, right?” Martin pressed on, voice tinted by desperation. “Mr. Bouchard wouldn’t say—”
Again with the look. Martin was going to scream.
“Don’t you worry about that, bud,” Tim said with a very forced, nervous little grin. “The Archivist is just The Archivist. Just get in there and… Godspeed?”
----
Moved by desperation, Martin accepts a job he's perfectly aware is bad news, but maybe... It won't be as such for long.

Summary
He was powerless, completely and utterly powerless, and it was the one goddamn time in his life he tried to actually reach out and help… He tried to speak, tried to move, and it hurt. He tried to do anything, and it hurt. He was powerless, and it hurt…
He prayed to that damned dead pixel, to the stars beyond them, to anything or anyone who’d listen…
Please. Please let me have a chance. One more chance to fix this…
Curly woke up, gasping for air, eyes wide. One last chance to make things right.
Aka
Curly finds himself back in the past and with what he knows of the possibilities the future holds, he takes off his rose-tinted glasses and actually takes action to protect his crew from the man he once called a friend

Summary
There's a Library near the Institute. Martin takes a habit to visit every so often. Elias doesn't like that. Tim and Sasha are suspicious of it. The librarian seems to be fairly normal, save for a belief in the paranormal and a terrible self-care ethic.
In retrospect, those were the most normal things about Jon.
