Summary
“...Sure,” Martin replied glumly. He wondered if this is how all those french people felt, back in the days of guillotines. “Huh— How do you think I should introduce myself to this Archivist, anyway? They are going to be my boss, technically speaking, so I suppose I can at least try to make a good first impression…?”
The look Tim and Sasha shared was… Certainly something.
“I don’t think introductions will really be required,” she said, delicately.
“Right. Ok. Sure. Do you know what their name is? I ought to at least know that, right?” Martin pressed on, voice tinted by desperation. “Mr. Bouchard wouldn’t say—”
Again with the look. Martin was going to scream.
“Don’t you worry about that, bud,” Tim said with a very forced, nervous little grin. “The Archivist is just The Archivist. Just get in there and… Godspeed?”
----
Moved by desperation, Martin accepts a job he's perfectly aware is bad news, but maybe... It won't be as such for long.

Summary
Martin knows how he should feel about his lot in life—terrible. He should feel terrible.
After all, he’s trapped in a dungeon with a hungry god who will one day eat him, regardless of how either of them feel about the prospect. Martin should feel terrified and miserable as he’s slowly fattened up for the big event. He should be clawing at the walls, desperate to escape.
There’s also quite a few things he shouldn’t be doing. He shouldn’t feel sorry for the god; he shouldn’t find him oddly sweet; he shouldn’t want to feed him.
He should not agree when the god offers to play into his most humiliating fetishes in order to make him feel better about his impending death. (Even if he did agree, it definitely shouldn’t work.)
And most of all, definitely he shouldn’t fall in love with the divine being that’s going to gobble him up whole. That wouldn’t make any sense at all.

Summary
Jon stayed quiet for a long time, once Martin had updated him up to that point, so much so that Martin took a second to take the phone away from his ear and glance at the screen, just to make sure the call hadn’t dropped during his stammered monologue.
“...Martin.”
“Look, I know!” Martin snapped, a little plaintive, before Jon could prime himself up for a scolding. He was very, very good at those. “I know. You told me it was a bad idea to go back there at night, alone, but-- This is just what we do here, ok? It’s our job, for how unconventional it might be--”
“Breaking and entering is your job?” Jon asked, and the bare hint of amusement in his voice felt like a pleasant summer breeze. “I could’ve sworn you said something about archiving.”
“Jon,” Martin muttered, his annoyance more for show than anything else. It still landed as intended, making Jon chuckle warmly in his ear.

Some things are the same, but some are... Not.
It is enough to change the trajectory of many different lives.

Summary
Martin Blackwood touched a Vast-aligned artifact and shrunk himself to four inches tall in the archives, and no one will be in until Monday!
Luckily Elias has come to save him! But wait, why is he taking Martin home to his house? Why is he buying him doll clothes and furniture and putting him in a fish tank? Why is he giving him big pieces of cheese to nibble on and taking photos and cooing over him? What's he going to do with that vibrator?!?!?!
Looks like Elias has a microkink, and Martin is caught in his grasp. Will he ever be free again? Or will Elias keep him as a pet forever? Only time will tell!

Summary
“Did you have a… secret past life?”
Martin snorts. “As if I had the time.” He shakes his head, turning back to the task at hand. “I wanted to, but I was mostly boring, you know? Go to work, come home… the worst I did was get a tattoo.”
Jon feels his need to know almost take him out at the knees; where? Of what? Why? When did he get it? Between Martin’s brief sojourn in document storage and their awkward first night on the sofa, Jon’s seen most of him—where is it? Forcing himself to be normal about this, he nods stiffly. Words gather in a landslide against his teeth and he clenches his jaw, brows raised in an expression that he hopes exudes polite curiosity.
From Martin’s smirk, he misses the mark by a mile.
