Summary
Tim and Martin are in the Archives when Jon gets stabbed by Michael, and both of them have to deal with the immediate aftermath. How do you help your paranoid boss with his recovery? Are you even obligated to?
-"Jon," Martin said softly, "if you weren't stabbed, then what happened? It's not as if you just bumped into a door or something." And Jon was sure that if he looked up, he would see Martin standing back a respectful distance. Martin was trying to earn his trust. Martin was trying to find him with his guard down, obscuring his true intent with baby blue jumpers and perfectly brewed tea and-- Jon wouldn't let him. Jon couldn't let him. He couldn't trust Martin, with his curly hair and kind face smattered with freckles, because Martin had been lying to him.

Summary
Martin’s 11am offerings of tea went from polite pettiness to something he looked forward to doing. He looked forward to seeing Jon, hunched over in his office over paperwork with a furrowed eyebrow and narrowed eyes. He looked forward to watching Jon relax as he took a sip of tea and said, ‘thank you, Martin’ in a weary voice. He looked forward to maybe getting to chat a bit. And Martin developed a crush.

Summary
What if they didn't go Somewhere Else? What if they stayed in London? What if the Archive and Archivist died, but Jon still managed to survive.
Martin Blackwood comes to consciousness before the rest of the post-post apocalypse world. And he carries Jon away from the Panopticon. That's why their bodies weren't found.

Summary
Tav is a bhaalspawn. She was made to be used. Not to choose. Not to wonder. Not to want.
Gale disagrees—especially regarding the latter.
Or: After the defeat of the Netherbrain, Withers places a majorly suicidal and unkillable Tav into Gale’s care. You know, for fate reasons.

Summary
Martin’s heart breaks clean in two when Jon comes home one morning and says he broke his sobriety at an office party and slept with his boss. Splitting up with him is soul-crushing, but it has to be done, Jon knows that Martin’s been cheated on before and he did it anyway. Still, he can’t completely put away the thought that that is so unlike the Jon he knows, and when Daisy approaches him with her perspective on the events of that night, Martin starts to get a very, very bad feeling.

Summary
And taxes? The phrase echoes inside Jon’s mind and suddenly the pieces click together. He remembers the words in Gertrude's voice. Taxes, I imagine, will continue. His eyes widen. Alexander Scaplehorn isn’t a Fear avatar.
"You’re a… tax collector."
—
In the post-change world, Jon and Martin enter the domain of Alexander Scaplehorn and learn that Gertrude had imagined right all along.
(Elias, on the other hand, had not accounted for this at all)

Summary
“I had noticed,” Gale said cautiously, “That your response to stimulus is…”
“Muted? Cold? Unfeeling?” Astarion asked with a raised brow, and they both frowned at him.
“I have never thought you cold, Astarion,” Gale said gently.
Tav, recovered Bhaalspawn and reluctant Changeling, is certain that his newfound shape-changing abilities are the key to seducing his favorite wizard into joining his romance with Astarion-- so why is his flawless plan turning out to be so difficult to execute? Or, the domestic, post-canon, OT3 fluff-fest version of 'and they were roommates' no one asked for.
