Yp so it's late and I can't post this Swap Au thing to Ao3 until the morning, so here's a sneak peak. Thanks to @dexterkronos and @kingskelly123 for the ideas that are used in this. This is just the little ending sneak peak btw :3

Timothy Stoker was never arrested. However, there is still a lot of suspicion on him. I might talk to Barnabas, see if he can get Tim to come in for a catch-up interview. Among… other things I have to talk to him about… some of which could probably wait until after work. Yeah. The workplace isn't a good place to discuss our private life, huh?

...

[Sigh]

I'm talking to a tape recorder. I need to talk to him before this gets out of hand.

*click*

the steaks! they're rising!

Writing from Elias’ POV is immensely fun, because he somehow manages to be both an omniscient narrator (able to give insight into other people’s motivations and emotions) and an unreliable narrator (all that insight is filtered through his own ego and focus)

Chapter: 6/6

Wordcount: 150,701

Summary:

He can make it another hour. It’s only an hour. Gerard has got to get used to long drives, if he’s going to try and find somewhere to live. Mary’s ghost followed him so far, and she might yet follow him down the way to DC. He’d had three blissful days of rest before she found him, screaming about what he had done to her. It took him another week to get going, to find a car and leave.

She hasn’t found him yet. But Gerard doesn’t know how long that will last. He doesn’t want to stop and find out.

After the suicide of his mother, Gerard Keay finds himself haunted by her ghost.

HOLY SHIT I FINISHED IT (TMA fic series)

hey all, so I have just completed a four-part fic series for The Magnus Archives that I've been working on since 2021, and I can hardly believe it's done. The fics are all fully posted on AO3 as follows:

open doors - Sasha James/ Michael (Distortion); short and sweet, diverges during season 1, a little monster romance that started all of this 🌀

Eulogy - Jonathan Sims/Gerry Keay; cozy horror murder mystery that runs alongside a fell-in-love-with-a-ghost romance. Think NBC Hannibal for the vibes <3 🪦

candles in the rain - Martin Blackwood/Tim Stoker; the premise is that Tim comes back from the Unknowing as a Desolation avatar, and, well, it goes from there. Diverges sometime during season 2, when Martin takes him up on the "dance card." 🔥

Lighthouse - Elias Bouchard (Jonah Magnus)/Peter Lukas; evil old men in love, it's manipulative and sweet at the same time for that extra vulnerability :) 👁️

All fics are set within the same AU, but can be read as standalones.

I hope you enjoy - and please scream at me in the comments if you do!

This is art I did for @joneliasweek, it is directly inspired by this fic (Looking Past your Flaws) by @2ofswords and they helped me a lot with picking the motive. Please check out their fic, it's genuinely incredible!

Hey there kiddos, do yall like witherburn after school news? Then boy, do I have eighteen fanfictions for you! (I'm not advertising the The Nut Job one)

That's right, I've gotten *that* desperate. So first up we have 'You Go Queen!' By Kyathedino on ao3, which is a oneshot fic depicting lesbian romance between Tina Young and Scarlett Johnson, written I'd have to say probably before episode three.

Next up is the second work of my series, which inspired the name of WBASN EP 15, 'i couldn't utter my love when it counted (but I'm singing like a bird about it now)' by Kyathedino on Ao3. It's about a possible scenario of if Aria Sanders had been Birdie, and the Reporter's reaction to her going missing.

Then comes the first work, which is not how it happened chronologically but whatever, 'what's the softest way to say (you took away my friend, my buddy)' by Kyathedino on ao3 (you may begin to see a pattern here) which is a scenario in which Christie Lamar was a member of the merry band of misfits, and how they would cope with her disappearance. Possibly receiving a sequel soon.

Then comes the third work in the series, which is 'and i know it's all so shallow (but a shallow cut still stings)' by Kyathedino on ao3, which follows a brief stint in romance between Amelia Farrow-Garcia and April Calloway.

Then comes Jonathan Landry's ep of MAHTM, 'i don't want the world to see me (cause I don't think that they'd understand)' by Kyathedino on Ao3 (okay I'll stop that now yall get it) which is about Jonathan befriending Mr. Pickler's cat Sasha and growing closer to the man himself, causing very much angst when Jon goes missing and nobody is willing to believe the older man when he says that the teen was worth looking for.

After that is my shortest fic to date, titled 'try to follow your light (but it's nighttime)', which is about Dyce calling the reporter's phone thinking that he was calling his mother, and her having to go help him when he was injured (non romantic)

Then comes another Jon ep of MAHTM, titled 'Either Way, It Ends (And All Things End)', which is about Mikinzie Mishra, the girl with the community garden, creating it and telling dyce it's true purpose (to give Jon a place to come home to)

Then comes '2gether 4ever (literally)' which is a crack fic of hunter/dyce, occurring when dyce glues their hands together.

Then there's 'a minute from home (but i feel so far from it)', a fix about Hunter being trans and it not being accepted by his family, as well as the sheriff being extremely creepy, and the expectations that were put upon him and the unsafety he felt (can you tell I'm projecting? I'm projecting)

After that comes 'Rumor Has It', which is Birdie trying to determine the Reporter's identity for sport and accidentally falling in love on the way.

Ignoring the Forbidden one, next up is 'I think my body (is falling in pieces)', which is both Chloe and Evelyn's episode of MAHTM, about the two meeting after Chloe's death of sorts

Following that is another crack hunter/dyce fic, that being 'you have stolen my heart (oh-yeah!)', in which the two of them have a karaoke, somewhat k-pop date with a kid's karaoke machine

Then comes 'Not a lot (just forever)' which is Tina's ep of MAHTM, where Scarlett mourns her in a slightly homosexually-undertoned way, because she no longer had competition to push her into being better.

'i just wanna be a part of your family' is another ep of MAHTM for Tina, which is a scenario in which she was friend's with the reporter as a kid and the reporter has to deal with not having her there anymore.

Then comes my probably most fucked up one, 'when justice is gone (there's always force)', which is about Hunter Clark being a vampire and pretty much psychologically torturing his victims when they start coming back as ghosts, eventually falling in love with one of em. Still in the works, two chapters so far.

Following that is 'lovely, dark, and deep' which is about the Appalachian forest swallowing up Hunter, who used to play in it, year by year, and slowly taking away his ability to exist elsewhere as he grew older.

Then comes 'we deserve a soft epilogue, my love' which is a tma crossover where Jon join the old ladies on Ms. Newberry's porch in knitting and gossiping, and finds true, unconditional happiness in Witherburn as his Somewhere Else.

Finally, 'The Archival Interns' by Kyathedino and Fandom_Compass on ao3. My first collab, and another tma wbasn crossover, this time where The Reporter, Birdie, and Dyce go to intern at the Magnus Archives over the summer.

Aaaaaaaand that's about it. Jesus, I have a lot. And quite a few more yet in production. Either way, prettiest please try em out, and thank you for reading this far lol. God, I need a life.

a little death, or something like it (Jon/Gerry, The Magnus Archives, Explicit)

a little death, or something like it || Jon/Gerry || Explicit || 6k

Canon-Typical The Beholding Content (The Magnus Archives), Unhealthy Coping Mechanisms, Talking To Dead People, Masturbation, Voyeurism, Not Technically Necrophilia, MAG 117: Testament, Ghost Sex, Not technically a ghost either, Mildly Dubious Consent, Dirty Talk, Demisexual Character, Canon-Typical Musings on Death, Come Shot, Canonical Character Death

It would be nice, he thinks, for a friendly face to see him off. One last conversation that isn't haunted by worms and tunnels and doors and death. Or, at least, no deaths that are immediate. The evening before the Unknowing, after everyone has given their testament, Jon summons Gerry for one last hurrah.

Read it on AO3 here!
