Summary
Jon was warm.
That was the first thought he had as he drifted slowly back into consciousness. Well, it wasn’t really a distinct thought, as then he was still half-asleep, but it was a vague feeling he was more than happy to drift in for a while longer.
(That is, until the bubble pops, and he is swiftly thrust back into when he was eight years old again, watching someone disappear. But... maybe now it was different?)

Summary
His hand hesitates over the door handle. Scott shouldn’t have come here, he knows. All of it would be so much easier if he pushed him away. But somehow, he finds himself turning the handle anyway, opening the door to where he knows the very source of his heartache lies.
Jimmy waits for him, like he always does, bright and welcoming. So, Scott puts on a smile and pretends he doesn't remember that they were in love: in another world.
(Or, post last life, Scott remembers being married to Jimmy. Jimmy doesn't.)

Statement of Martin Spooky by I_defy_categorization

Summary
Jonathan Sims wasn’t stupid.
He wasn’t! No matter what Georgie would say about him, with that annoyingly fond roll of her eyes. That’s why he was here, at an abandoned house in the middle of the night. Right.
He just had . . . a hunch. And he really didn’t want to deal with the teasing that would come with the admission that yes, Jonathan Sims, famed paranormal skepticist, had had an encounter someone might even call “spooky.”
(In which Jon is stupid and Martin is a spooky ghost. Happy Halloween!)

How To Successfully Navigate Your Workplace Crush by I_defy_categorization

Summary
Once he had closed the door behind him, Martin walked stiffly to his desk. He wasn’t going to get much work done though. Instead, he sat down, and put his face in his hands with a groan.
“Ridiculous,” he muttered to himself, “I’m ridiculous. How in the world am I supposed to work with him when a little ‘thank you’ just about ruins me. . .”
(Thankfully Tim is here to offer his extremely helpful advice on how to navigate his crush)

Life Series/TMA (WIP Name) by I_defy_categorization
Fandom Life Series | 3rd Life SMP Series
19 Feb 2026
Summary
A Life Series and Magnus Archives crossover that has been brewing in my brain for a loooooong time!
I'm planning to start a long fic that will be from the perspectives of Grian, Scar, Jon, and Martin, but as you can see, that has not been made yet lol. So I'm just starting with little drabbles of other characters because I think about this universe a lot haha.
Basic premise is that I threw the Life Series members (and a couple Hermitcrafters too lol) into tma and saw what happened! Web nonsense (tm) and soul bonds similar to double life may also be involved hehe. Lots of angst, hurt/comfort, and lore to come!

Summary
It was completely fine that Jon was following up on this very normal, non-supernatural statement at midnight on a Friday. He was going to find nothing at all, and then he was going to go home and sleep for fourteen straight hours and feel absolutely no qualms about moving case #0150409 directly into the filing cabinet marked "discredited."
Or: Jon and Martin investigate Carlos Vittery's basement and find the entity formerly known as Jane Prentiss together.

As soon as Aubrey Thyme, psychotherapist, had opened her office door and seen her new client, Anthony J. Crowley, sitting in her waiting area, she was observing and assessing him. At first glance, she paid attention to the following:
--His clothing was expensive and stylish;
--He wore very strange but noticeable cologne;
--His relationship to the seat he occupied could only, very loosely, be described as “sitting;”
--He looked angry;
--He was wearing sunglasses.What Aubrey Thyme, a professional, thought, upon first seeing her new client was: you’re going to be a fun one, aren’t you?

Summary
“You’re kind,” Crowley said with another small laugh. Aziraphale looked over at him. His gaze softened. “Y’know, people like that sort of thing. Kind people.”
Aziraphale nodded. Crowley felt something strange stirring in his stomach, and he wondered if perhaps he’d had a little too much to drink. He was beginning to get the urge to do something stupid. To reach forward and take the angel’s hand. To trace the lines of his smile, and the creases of his eyes, and memorize what he looked like in case it was a long while before they saw each other again.
Whoa now, said the only logical part of his brain he had left, maybe it’s time to sober up.
Five times Crowley gave Aziraphale a gift on Valentine's Day, and one time it was the other way around.
