    Summary

    While it isn't terribly ideal to drag an Ancient One through the void, stuff it into the Archive, and use the cosmic "blend" setting on high, Jon's got no other choice if he wants to exist again after leaving his old reality.

    Another round at predictable events with more time to prepare and more abilities to utilize should mean keeping everyone safe is a piece of cake, but it's more of a chaotic donut with unexpected filling than anything else.

    Or, The Fanfic Equivalent of A Large Flailing Inflatable. It's bigger than it has any right to be, weirdly fun to watch unfold, and it goes exactly where you'd expect while hitting other places you had no idea were even an option.

    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.

    Summary

    "Look, cabrón, we have to take you back to the boat."
    "Not in, like, TAKE take. It's more of… an invitation. Your presence is requested on the boat. Emphatically so."
    Izzy's scowl deepens. If anything, Lucius' attempt of clarification only manages to increase his suspicion. His first thought was that maybe it took them eighteen months of deliberation to finally decide to hang him to the boom.
    -
    Edward Teach, retired Blackbeard, is in crisis. Stede Bonnet, retired The Gentleman Pirate, goes after the one person who has seen it all before to ask for help. Izzy Hands searches for satisfaction as he navigates a bargaining stage of grief.

    Summary

    Jon sends the fears far from Earth and flees London, leaving the others to assume the worst. He settles in a small village and opts to live there quietly until he dies, a self-imposed penance. This plan is foiled when the first former Avatar shows up - and Jon realizes that every domain-keeper in the apocalypse still has some faint connection to him.

    After a year of being a shoulder to cry on for confused and distraught former Avatars, Jon leads a moderately happy life. He has a flourishing garden, a cat, and some company. All of that comes crashing around his ears (or his head) when a familiar face shows up to his cabin, demanding answers.
