Summary
Ford trusts Jheselbraum. After everything that she has done to empower him on his mission, he doesn't hesitate when she suggests that he visit a man called "The Archivist." Ford's journey throughout the multiverse has prepared him to expect just about anything, but this eccentric Archivist and his expansive menagerie deep in the heart of Dimension 52 is truly unlike anything Ford has experienced so far. The Archivist may have the most complete map of the multiverse in existence, but he also has a dark secret that could break Ford completely.
Ford has always prided himself as a bastion of logic, but it is amazing how powerful the heart can be.

Summary
Leo has only ever known how to be human. He was always careful with dampening his fire ability around people, but once he was found out, he was exiled into the Southern Wilds to fend for himself or die trying. The only thing that keeps Leo's hopes afloat are rumors of a human-led nation 180 miles to the north that accepts magical folk like him. Leo was terrified of facing this journey of self-discovery alone, but thankfully, he finds an injured house cat.
The mysteries of the wilds don't seem so threatening when you're facing them with a friend.

Erebus (Keep Me Gently) by blue_scrub_jay for altar_boy

Summary
Original song I wrote inspired by the following excerpt from the fic "Flighty" by altar_boy:
“Lord Erebus, personification of darkness. He was before the beginning and he will be there after the end.
[. . .]
Darkness isn't the absence of light. Light is as temporary as life, and in the end darkness will shroud all of us, and we can do nothing but pray that he will keep us gently.”NO A.I. EVER!!!

Bookmarker's Notes
honestly I'd have to say that this is the best fanfic I've ever read. Ever. In my 13 years of reading fanfiction, I have never read a fanfiction with just the right balance of the Canon voice with the Author's characterizations. This one has the stakes, the pacing, the intrigue. Threads that Bind has stuck with me in a way that will have me thinking about this for years to come. This fic offers the respect that Jason's character arc deserved.
