    Summary

    “Have you got anywhere to stay?” Jon asks him, briskly. “Friends, acquaintances, maybe, who you could stay with…?”

    Martin flushes, deeply. “I, I mean— n-no, not really,” he stammers, and then goes even redder. “Or, just, y’know not that I’d want to, to. Put in the middle of this. Put in danger of, of worms.”

    “Ah,” Jon says, “No, of course, that makes sense.” Why drag anyone else into this mess? Seven people died during Prentiss’s initial hospitalization; the collateral damage of roping someone from outside the Institute into her orbit doesn’t bare thinking about. “In that case…” Jon feels like there’s some alternative solution, one he’s just not thinking of at the moment, but it evades him, and Martin needs somewhere safe to stay. “My couch is quite comfortable. You’re welcome to come and stay with me until you figure something else out.”

     

    Martin is held hostage by Jane Prentiss for two weeks, and can't go back to his flat. Jon offers him a place to stay until Prentiss and her worms can be dealt with, and they can be sure he's safe.

    Summary

    Martin’s first official day as an archival assistant goes much better than he’d expected. Not that he’d expected it to be bad! He’d been quite looking forward to it actually, it’s just that Martin is generally on edge. As it happens, he needn't have worried. Tim and Sasha are lovely.

    Plus there’s Jon. Even if Tim and Sasha hadn’t been perfectly lovely and easy to get along with, Martin would have been able to get through it all just for the sake of getting to spend more time with his husband during the work week.
