hi!!! I know you haven’t been very active recently but I was hoping to get some help finding my favorite fic if you happen to see and get around to this. no worries if not!!
it’s a jonmartin fic that takes place in an alternate universe where jon works as a librarian and martin works in a sandwich shop. jon has a daughter named philomena, or phil for short, and they meet when she runs off and hangs out at the sandwich place with martin for a bit. there aren’t any dread powers, but there are leitners, and the story kicks off when jon receives a collection of them from sasha that used to belong to the keays.
I’ve looked for it so extensively that I’m worried it might’ve been deleted, but I’m holding out hope that I just missed it!! if you or anyone else seeing this can help, I’d really appreciate it, thank you in advance
*crawls from the pits of hell* I KNOW EXACTLY WHICH FIC YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT AND NOT ONLY IT ISN'T DELETED BUT IT'SA MASTERPIECE. From all @organchordsandlightning's fics, this one has a SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART
Knowledge is Power (but Love won't Hurt) by SupposedToBeWriting. 156k. Complete. Rated M. Single Parent AU. AU - No fears, only Leitners
Jonathan Sims is a single father and the sole librarian of the most disorganized library in existence. Martin Blackwood's life has entered a new chapter but he can't seem to find the plot. Jon's daughter causes a chance encounter that throws them inexorably into one another's lives. As Jon receives a strange shipment of rare, peculiar books, he realizes that his life is only about to grow more complicated - and more dangerous.

Hey! I know the blog hasnt been that active as of late, I hope you all are doing well :) I'm searching for a lost fic, basically a series of letters and notes between Jon and Martin where it ends with writing in Martin's notebook
Hi there! We've been good, just busy with life (...and getting consumed by another fandom in my case, sorry bout that!) I don't think I was able to find the specific fic you mentioned, at least not with that ending, but I offer some letters and notes fics that might be similar:
i don't wanna say it out loud by sailormomotaros. Jonmartin. 1k words. S4. canon-compliant
A series of interdepartmental memos exchanged between Jonathan Sims, Head Archivist of the Magnus Institute, and Martin Blackwood, Archival/Administrative Assistant, between January and October of 2019.
To Whom it May Concern by Olive_Heaven. Jonmartin. 1.2k words. Pre-canon. Canon-divergent. Fluff.
After losing one too many pens to a mysterious pen thief, Jon is fed up with it. Tim insists it’s not him (and for once he believes him because even Tim’s not stupid enough to lie when confronted) so he’s left with one logical option: Write the offender passive aggressive notes until they take the hint and back off. With a little more focus on the aggressive versus the passive. . . . Martin is having a bit of a rough day and he may have been far pettier replying to that note than he intended to be. It’s not his fault he forgot which desk was that Tim guy’s and which was his coworker’s. But whoever wrote it seems to be a right prick so he doesn’t feel too bad about it. Besides, it’s a way to pass the time.
If anyone else knows the particular one Laric is talking about, please drop it in a reblog or replies!

hey! i am desperately searching for this fic i read a while ago. it’s an au fic where martin starts working in admin and stumbles upon jon’s twitch channel. its one of my favorites i just can’t remember the title.
pls and thnks 💕
I know exactly the fic you're looking for
Misjudged by ShastaFirecracker. 37k. Teen. Workplace Comedy. Alternative Universe: No powers. Twitch gamer Jon. Administrative Assistant Martin.
Martin's been a longtime listener of What the Ghost, so when Georgie gives a shoutout to her flatmate's Twitch channel during a Q&A, he checks it out - only to discover that her flatmate is also his most terrifying coworker at his new job. The first time they crossed paths, Jon yelled at him for incompetence. But on the streams, Martin sees an entirely different person - someone fun and relaxed, engaging and unfairly attractive. Over time, Martin begins to find that Jon buried inside his dour, awkward coworker. He also learns to live with the fact that his crush is painfully one-sided… or is it?

Hello! I’m desperately looking for a fic but I can’t find it anywhere, it takes place after mag 200 and Jon lives in a cottage in Scotland (I think) and he basically gives therapy to a lot of avatars. He has a cat named pip and callum brodie is there a lot and Martin and Basira kick down his door one day like “what the hell dude.” Do you possibly know which fic it is
OH BOY I DO KNOW WHICH FIC THAT IS
Two Graves by SupposedToBeWriting Jonmartin. 60k words. Post canon AU. Canon Divergence. Hurt/Comfort. Reconciliation. Angst with a Happy Ending.
Jon sends the fears far from Earth and flees London, leaving the others to assume the worst. He settles in a small village and opts to live there quietly until he dies, a self-imposed penance. This plan is foiled when the first former Avatar shows up - and Jon realizes that every domain-keeper in the apocalypse still has some faint connection to him. After a year of being a shoulder to cry on for confused and distraught former Avatars, Jon leads a moderately happy life. He has a flourishing garden, a cat, and some company. All of that comes crashing around his ears (or his head) when a familiar face shows up to his cabin, demanding answers.

I know it's a bit silly to ask since no one keeps track of this kinda stuff but I was wondering if you've noticed a story get deleted recently. I went to go through my bookmarks and noticed the most reason fic has been... well deleted. I bookmarked it about a week ago so it really hasn't been that long. It's driving me crazy trying to figure out what's gone.
This is... actually, it's accurate. I'd benefit from more context and details.
It could either be augustdepot's stuff (he privated them for a month or so until very recently, they're back on now I think), "Are you listening?" (The Honey Girl AU, it got deleted and reposted I believe) or cryptickidprem's stuff (they have deleted their older stuff but it can be found through the wayback machine). That's what I'm personally aware of.
My advice is using the wayback machine and see if your bookmarks were saved there and/or to browse the tags. Do save your bookmarks in the wayback machine now. I reccomend that.

Summary:
“Are you a godly man, Doctor Sims?”
“I don’t think I can answer that question in a way that matters.”
“Rest assured I don’t expect that.”
Quiet.
“I believe…” he starts, then stops to breathe in, deeply. Just to stall, just to think, just to avoid Father Lucas’s attentive gaze, he takes a drag off his cigarette “I believe in people. On the best of people. On their worst, too. But it’s very difficult to be surrounded by dying men in a tent that smells of stale blood and gunpowder and believe there’s someone up there looking out for us.”
And he can see them now. Clutching their rosaries, calling out to their mothers, to their gods, to their long lost lovers. He can see them while the nurses held hands that would inevitably grow still and he could see himself, the only one with the responsibility to change their fate, useless in the centre of it. –
In 1950s Poplar, a group of nuns and nurses carry the health of the neighbourhood on their shoulders. Amongst deaths and births, a lonely doctor meets a conflicted priest.

I'm currently browsing through my history with no luck so I thought I'd send this ask first in the hopes that you know the fic. Anyway basically it centers around Martin fake crying to get out of punishments (I think? It's been a while since I read it) the main scene I remember is the one where Jon confronts Martin about lying and instead of admitting about the CV he admits that he's not actually an easy crier and that he only does it to stop Jon from yelling at him. I can't even begin to figure out what tags I could apply to this
I know exactly the fic you're talking about!
a little love, a little sympathy by Did. G. 3k words. Jonmartin. Canon divergence. S1-S2.
Summary:
And then Jon is snarling into his face, demanding what are you hiding with a strange, bright-eyed intensity Martin has never seen from him before, and Martin thinks god, maybe he should just come clean about his CV, Jon thinking he's a fraud can't be any worse than Jon thinking he's a murderer-
Martin opens his mouth to speak. To his absolute horror, what actually comes out is: "I used to pretend to cry because I liked how nice you were to me when you thought I was upset!"

Tumblr media
Elias and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, by forsaken corruption (Demixian)
Thank you so much @nazzledazzle !
I'm starting to think this fic got deleted but I'm staying positive by sending this ask. Do you know of a fic where the premise is basically Jon becomes an avatar of every entity. It's multi chaptered and completed and I think it was written before season five but I can not for the life of me find it. It was really funny too and Jonah dies in the end but not Elias.
This doesn't ring a bell! Can anybody out there help us find it?

Hi I'd like to rec a favourite fic of mine called Interwoven by storyandshark
https://archiveofourown.org/works/17437148/chapters/41054732
It's a superhero au and if you like the concept of spiderman!Martin then you should really check it out
Interwoven by storyandshark. 108k. Jonmartin. Superhero AU. Alternate Universe.
Scion City. A town full of superheroes, supervillains, and constant danger and excitement. At the center of it all, Scion City Times, the most prestigious paper in the city, working to report the activities of the superhumans that call Scion City home.
As Jon and Martin, along with their colleagues Tim and Sasha, cover current events, they discover cryptic notes left by Gertrude Robinson, former reporter, now corpse. Unbeknownst to the rest of them, Martin’s started working a second job: he's recently donned a mask and become a superhero. A job that becomes more difficult as Jon tries to unravel the mysteries of the city, even as it makes him a target. Together, they're going to have to uncover the conspiracy that surrounds Scion City, or they're going to have to die trying.
