Characters: Jonathan Sims/Sasha James/Tim Stoker/Martin Blackwood
Rating: Teen
Summary:
“But what if-” Once again, Jon struggles to find the right words. He knows their situation is unorthodox to most people, and the thought of Martin looking at him differently is too much to bear. “What if he doesn’t understand?”
“Then explain it to him,” Sasha relays patiently, her hand never leaving his. Things are always so clear to her, Jon envies that. “You’re my partners, you’re dating Tim, sometimes me and Tim have-”
Or: How One Became Four.
It starts with Sasha and Jon.
She’s fresh off six months in Artefact Storage, shell-shocked and stand-offish. Jon starts a few months later and they learn the ropes together. She warms up, divulges little tidbits of her time in the other department that Jon devours. He’s young, hungry for answers and Sasha’s already jaded by her few years in academia. This is just a transitional job, she assures him. It pays better than most research gigs and allows her to keep up a certain lifestyle.
“I’m looking at other places, putting out feelers,” she confides in him one day over coffee. It’s become their daily ritual, a mid-morning break where they can commiserate on the staid academics that ask too much of them and the fanciful statements that end up on their desk. “Whatever you do, don’t get stuck here.” She leans back in her chair, gives a cynical little smile. “Or maybe you should. It’ll be different for you, you’re a man.” He starts a protest but she cuts him off. “It’s an old boys club and you know it. Besides, I know all about your extra meetings with Bouchard. He’s never done that with anyone else. Who knows - in a few years you might be my boss!”
I found this cool template and I couldn’t resist filling it out.
Featuring Jon Archivist as “First to confess their feelings to the other” in the manner of Mr Darcy, his love confession delivered on a palanquin of awkward, grudging insults. (Tim: “…Did you just tell me you love me in spite of your rational mind?”)
[ID: Two versions of the same digital drawing. In it, Jonathan Sims kneels on the center, resting both Sasha James’s and Tim Stoker’s heads on each leg as he carefully holds their shoulder and their chin, respectively. Jon is crying, Sasha’s face pulled away from the viewer while Tim’s skin is covered in worm and burn scars, eyes closed and body stiff. Below them on the floor there are depictions of thin long lines under Sasha and of fire under Tim. Above Jon there are twelve dark segments cut by fine lines, showing a myriad of purple eyes looking down at him, and below his head rays of purple and gold fall down and cover the floor around them. A pair of hands reach down from above with a crown covered in eyes, and another pair of hands reach for Jon, one of them holding his shoulder with care while the other tries to pull him by the fabric of his jacket. Jon’s entire body is buzzing with static, eyes glowing purple and long hair hovering around him, but while there’s an encompassing light above everything, he’s casting a shadow on Sasha and Tim, hiding them from the static as well. In the second version of the drawing everything is the same, except everything has a red and pink tint to it, and the originally purple eyes and tears look red like blood. //End ID]
something about God grieving his dead lovers, something about unwanted godhood, etc, etc, etc
[ID: A digital drawing in warm shades of oranges, browns and pinks, featuring Tim Stoker and Jonathan Sims, two trans men only wearing shorts, Tim spotting two small scars on his chest. Tim is smiling down fondly, sitting on the carpeted floor with a book on one leg and Jon’s head on the other, using it as a pillow as he lays down while Tim plays with his hair. Jon has a content smile and his eyes closed, holding a closed book on his stomach, as his glasses rest beside him on the floor. //End ID]

ive got an illness that makes me see any cute image like these three cats together and think haha imagine jontimsasha :’) (its deadly)
[ID: Three consecutive drawings of two hands, both with circular scars and burned skin (one on the palm and a bit on the back, between the thumb and index finger, and the other is scorched in the back) plus different scars around their fingers and wrists, the first hand painted in purple and the second one in blue. In the first image the blue hand is holding tightly the tense purple one by the fingers, tracing the knuckle with his thumb; In the second one the pressure shifts and the purple hand relaxes inside the hold, thumb reaching for the blue’s fingers while the blue one keeps tracing his skin; Finally in the third the angle of their wrists changes and the purple hand falls from above while the blue hand comes from below, fingers lightly intertwining and both thumbs tracing gently the other’s fingers. //End ID]
wanted to make a comic about tim kissing jon’s knuckles and hand but got too distracted with the hands (plus drawing a face after drawing hands is actual hell but shh)
[ID: A digital drawing of Tim Stoker, Jonathan Sims and Sasha James, early in the morning. Jon and Sasha are laying their heads on each of Tim’s shoulders, half asleep but holding on to their respective tea cup and coffee mug, while Tim has his cheek smooshed on Sasha’s face and holding Jon close to him with his hand. Tim is smiling, happy. //End ID]

[ID: The template, two people sleeping and laying their heads on the shoulders of a third person, that’s smiling while holding a cellphone. //End ID]
(its kinda different to the template but shhhhh they’re having breakfast!!)
[ID: Art of Jon and Tim from the Magnus Archives holding each other. Tim is a head taller than Jon, and he is a light-skinned man with curly dark hair. Jon is a brown-skinned man with black hair.
The first image is Jon and Tim dancing in a dark office, lit only by a single bulb in the desk lamp. Tim wears jeans and a pink shirt short-sleeved shirt with pinstriped black yellow sleeves, collar, and pocket. The pinstriped parts are decorated with pink flowers. Jon wears maroon pants, a pink shirt, and a black tie loose around his neck. Jon leans his head on Tim’s chest as he grips Tim’s hand, and both of them are smiling gently.
In the second image, Jon is wearing a blue button up and black pants, and Tim wears a loose purple hoodie and black pants. Jon’s hair has gotten longer and more of it has turned grey. Both have small circular scars on their face and hands. The background is bright orange with blue swirls and yellow action spikes around Tim’s body. Tim looks down at Jon coldly, one hand resting at Jon’s waist and one holding a tape record. Jon has one hand on Tim’s shoulder and one on his cheek and looks up at Tim with a pleading expression.]
i need everyone to level with me here. i love jon and martin but i’m consumed by the idea of season five with jon and tim. the absolute misery of surviving in an apocalypse with no one to talk to but a man who would’ve killed you as indiscriminately as he would an enemy. even though, in what feels like a lifetime ago, you were once friends. struggling along together because there’s nothing else to do, no one else who would want to see either of you, nothing here for you but one person who is barely a reprieve from constant pain. who still hates you, though not as much as he once did. maybe you start to rebuild. where else could you hide your face here but his shoulder? maybe both of you deserved this. maybe you really deserved each other. then, in the end, after everything feels like mending, he still has to kill you anyway.
i don’t think jon and tim are dating, i think they are exes, and married, and on their first date, and on their honeymoon, and divorced, and one chat at a bar, and celebrating their 50th anniversary, and best friends, and partners in crime, and a missed connection writing the lonely hearts column, and soulmates, and they never loved one another, and they keep getting back together, and they’re in a polycule, and they are dating. hope this clears things up <3
