Oh Goodness, I'm So Excited! I Have Most Of It Written, But No Specific Update Schedule In Mind. I'll

Oh goodness, I'm so excited! I have most of it written, but no specific update schedule in mind. I'll definitely send you the link when I drop the first chapter.

I got obsessed with "The Magic Shop" and I'm working on a fic inspired by it! Could I ask a couple of questions about the last chapter? First, did you have something in mind that Jon/Kit whispers in Angela's ear? Second, does the line "He... turned back into the room, rushing back up to Martin’s side and pushing the book into the center of HIS chest" mean Jon's or Martin's chest? PS, congratulations on making the fic stream!

Oh my gosh I’m so glad you liked it!!! And ahhh the fic stream 😂 I was overjoyed to hear them read not one but TWO of my story fragments, and yet my soul will never recover from hearing Jonny and Alex spend five full minutes calling me horny over and over again

Assigned as the horniest in the fandom by the fuckin writers. I’ll never live it down 😂

But yes! Your questions! I did not have an official idea in mind of what Jon whispered into Angela’s ear. That last chapter and final scene especially underwent a lot of heavy edits because I was having a hard time making whatever Jon did to Angela have the impact I wanted. In the end, the decision to have him whisper in her ear inaudibly was a lil bit of a work around. Came out cool and badass without me needing to figure out what that would look like 😅 BUT what I generally imagine him saying and what I was TRYING to make work in the scene is something like:

“The world may deserve magic, but you deserve *nothing*.”

Second question is easier to answer! The intention was he pushes it into Martin’s chest, like a child demanding a bedtime story 💕

I hope this helps!!! I’m SO excited that you’re inspired enough by the story to write something. I love this universe and I had some tentative plans to write spin-offs myself but I never figured out what story I’d want to tell, so I’m so so glad that someone else will help it live on.

Please link it to the original story and send it to me on here so I can read it when it’s done!!!

Off topic, but how did you decide how old the Archivist was?

No you guys don't understand. I may have ranted about this fic before but I'm fucking doing it again. Knowledge is Power (But Love Won't Hurt) by SupposedToBeWriting has fixed me. Trauma? Gone. I'm gonna call my therapist and tell them no need for any more sessions because I've found the answer. And that answer is Jonathan "single father to autistic little girl" Sims. Yeah you heard me right. Get ready for a 31 chapter, 156K words slow burn wherein Martin Kartin Blackwood dresses like the straightest gay man at the family barbecue, Finding Nemo is a really emotional plot point and Gerry Keay and Martin bond over Mommy Issues. Get your "Jon Is The Most Stressed Man Ever" fix here. It's got everything that tma is too cowardly to do - healthy communication, trans Jon and Martin and aroace Gerry. Please go read it, I promise it will change your fucking life.

May I also add:

Jon hasn't internalized he can trust Martin because of season 2 behavior, delirium, flashbacks, amnesia, etc. and he has to learn to trust the gut feeling telling him that Martin is safe

obsessed with hurt/comfort fics where martin attempts to comfort jon like how someone would try and coax a spooked cat down from a tree
