    Summary

    “What happens if I don’t?” Jon's hand is on the doorknob, gripping it so tightly that his fingers cramp. “H-how am I a danger to the others?”

    “I told you, Elias didn’t exactly leave me the Archivist manual. But at a guess?” Peter pretends to give it a great deal of consideration. “I’d say you’re capable of far more harm than you realize. For all the Watcher’s… passive proclivities, it’s old. Very old. And demanding of what it wants. Something you’re beginning to understand.”

    Jon soldiers on through another wave of nausea. “A-and Elias? You’re going to run this idea of yours through him?”

    “Pet, that’s going to be half the fun of this." Peter smirks delightedly. "Elias doesn’t get a say in this. He only gets to watch.”

    Summary

    It wasn’t meant to happen the first time, and Gerry swears it will never happen again. So it’s only natural that he bends Bouchard over his perfect desk several days later.

    Or: Artist Gerard Keay and literature professor Dr. Elias Bouchard dislike each other immensely; they were bound to fall in love someday.

    Summary

    Atsushi had once seen Rashomon as the black beast that, as Ryuunosuke once described it himself, a monster that devoured anything and everything. It was an omen of death, violence and blood. And for a long time, Atsushi believed him.

    Then, things changed.

    And he didn't see it that way anymore. Not when things had changed this much between them.

    Now, Atsushi intended to know and love everything about the man called Akutagawa Ryuunosuke.

    Summary

    Jon had known, of course, that one day he would have to marry.

    It had been an immutable truth that drifted in the confines of his mind, occasionally surfacing long enough to be recognized and sighed at, but it had not been something he usually paid a great deal of attention to.

    Still, marrying Lord Magnus was altogether too much, wasn’t it?

    Summary

    “Stop.”

    The strings that bind them together sing, yanking the demon into stillness before the tips of the shoes come into contact with chalk. “I am here to be your tool, am I not? Use me.”

    “A tool,” the Archivist echoes. He runs both hands through his hair, which is dark and messy, unimproved by the exasperated gesture. “Yes, do remind me—which of us tricked the other into summoning a Prince of Hell as their assistant? Ah, yes, clearly it was me.”

    Summary

    “Ose,” the demon inhabiting the body of Elias Bouchard says. “Archivist Robinson’s demon was Ose. No, that wasn’t their way. Yet, as you’ve taken great pains to establish, I am unlike others of my kind. The Archivist receives what they need for the obstacles they’ll face. You, my dear Archivist, have quite a road ahead of you.”

    Summary

    “No.” Mouthing the right words is what Elias specializes in. An apology from Elias Bouchard has the weight and value of a speck of dust.

    Elias huffs out a laugh. “Then I won’t bother. But really, Jon, as you succinctly phrased it—I caused this problem. I’m going to take care of it.”

    “Purely out of the goodness of your heart.”

    “Mn, among other parts."

    Summary

    “Sorry,” Jon said again. “I think I — I need to go. I can’t be here.”
    On the other side of the mahogany desk, Elias Bouchard sighed.
    “I truly hoped we could be civil about this, Jonathan.”

    (In his dreams, Jon’s hands are soaked in blood, and he stares into the pupil of an endless sea of eyes.)

    Anthology set in a universe where Jonah Magnus is a very old vampire bound to Jon, his thrall. Over the centuries they build together a family of sort; some of their children even grow to fully love it here, with them.

    Chapter 1: “Jonah,” Jon breathed, fluttering heart in his throat. “What did you do?” (A beginning, time undetermined.)
    Chapter 2 : “Oh, I’ve got a rational thought,” Melanie cut him off. “I’m going to fucking murder you —” (Melanie, modern days.)

    Summary

    Instead Jon wants to snap because if Elias didn’t want to see the consequences of his actions reverberate throughout universes, perhaps he should have thought about it before ending the world once — that they know of. For all Jon and he know, there are endless Jonah Magnuses somewhere else who have decided to follow the step of their mirror selves, persuaded to know and do better next time. But that’s not fair to Jon’s Elias, is it? Because this Elias is choosing differently. Has chosen differently. This Elias is right here, with him, worried that Jon is not sleeping anymore.

    Somewhere Else, Jon and Elias try to navigate through the memories of another world; another life. Both of them are very keen on not walking the same path as their counterparts. Both of them struggle with the temptation of fate anyway.

    Summary

    Sandra knocks on his door around midday to remind him that the staff holiday party is at five o’clock, and also that he forgot to RSVP if he was bringing a plus one?

    “Hardly,” Elias snorts distractedly, squinting at the last paragraph he wrote; can they really decrease enrollment handling time by eight percent or is he being too bold? “Peter wouldn’t be seen dead at—”

    He stops, brow furrowing. A wave of something close to vertigo washes over him, and he grasps the edge of his desk to ground himself.

    “I…ah, no. No plus one.”

    Elias Bouchard does not remember his dreams.
