[VD: A grayscale Magnus Archives animatic of Jon and Gerry talking in episode 111 of The Magnus Archives. Gerry, a ghostly goth, and Jon, a thin brown man in a graphic T-shirt, sit together at a table. Gerry says scornfully, "Playing politics with things they didn’t understand. Reckoned her tradition was less the academic and more the, uh…" Jon offers dryly, "V-Village witch?"
Gerry laughs, pleased, and asks, "You sure you don’t know her?" He sighs, sobers, and says, "Yeah. But deep down what she wanted wasn’t all that different from the ivory tower idiots she hated. Y’know, I think, secretly, she dreamed of starting a little mystic dynasty of her own." He grimaces. "With me."
Jon says a little eagerly, "Like the, the Lukases? Or the Fairchilds?" Gerry corrects, "Well, Fairchild’s just a name, they’re not really family." Then he does a finger gun and says, "The Lukases, though, yeah."
He turns away, pensive and frowning, and says, "Thing is, it’s harder than it looks. What’s out there… doesn’t care about blood." Jon, grinning a little, says, "Well, I-I mean, except for the vampires…" Gerry scowls, "Yeah, obviously except for the vampires." Jon looks abashed, and Gerry looks down sorrowfully to say, "But they care about your choices, your fears, not your parents." End VD]

Just imagining Japan wearing one of those t-shirts with Scottish town names on, and Scotland stopping dead in his tracks wondering why he’s wearing a top that says like Falkirk on it, and America just taps him on the shoulder like “you get used to it.”

Every "chapter" of this "fic" is essentially: what if Ted and Trent talked. What if they talked forever, and Trent was too much in his own head and Ted was sunny and unreadable, except for when he wasn't.
Chapter 5: After lunch, Ted and Trent talk more (no way!!), and review photos.
special content and commentary after the cut!
it is important for you to know that they both got the lunch special. Ted got the burnt ends sandwich with fries and baked beans because he is a traditionalist, and advised Trent to get the pulled pork sandwich and whatever sides most spoke to his soul.
however, sides do not speak to Trent's soul
but he got the slaw and fries, because he did not trust that he would be able to steal fries from Ted
gosh dang now i'm hungry
Very Important Information That May or May Not Come Up Otherwise: the t-shirt is 100% in Trent's luggage. he sleeps in it sometimes.
