just found out about alternative archives week and the dorohedoro au but don’t know if i can figure it out fast enough to write it for sunday because on the one hand, Tim having known Sasha before her memory loss and they still end up falling back in love but Sasha is confused as to why he keeps pulling away and thinks maybe it’s the fact that he’ll likely never see her real face but he just kisses the tip of her lizard snout, but on the other hand, neither having prior history and a magically induced fistfight that ends with Sasha pulling away and saying “I could never forgive myself if you got hurt-” and Tim just hugging her and resting his head in the crook of her neck going “… you’re my best friend, you know that?”

Cass and Mars hanging out! (In clothes i wear sometimes)

Cass is holding some files in their hands and is talking excitedly to Mars, who is looking over their shoulder. Mars has a small smile. Cass is wearing a loose shirt over a button down, jeans, and sneakers. Mars is wearing a punk jacket with buttons and spikes over a fishnet shirt, pleated skirt, leggings, and kitten heeled dressy shoes. They have facial piercings and a dangley knife earring.] End ID

TMA AU Archives crew + Eret!

this au has taken over all my thoughts now,, oopsie daisy

info under cut!

these two,,, oh, these two

Niki and Puffy are the ones filling the roles of Daisy and Basira, but only in the MAJOR beats

Writing them into the story was o(-( so difficult because I didn’t want them to be cops but I also wanted them to be involved in the ex-archivist case, so this is the best alternative I could come up with

Wilbur and Tommy but they work at The Magnus Institute

info under cut!

journalofimprobablethings:

Jon has always had trouble imagining the future. At university when people asked him where he saw himself in five years, he would often stare at them like a deer caught in headlights, or else stammer out something incoherent about graduate school. Once he was at the Institute, his life fell into a comfortable pattern, and planning no more than a few months in advance felt…fine. Normal.

Of course, once he moved to the Archives, he quickly stopped even trying to imagine the future. He was too busy trying to survive the present to consider what the next month might hold, let alone the next year.

And after the apocalypse, he pretty much became certain that his future would only last as long as the new world did.

But then, something rather extraordinary happens, and Jon finds himself somewhere else, with Martin by his side, and a span of years stretching in front of them that resembled, astoundingly, something like a future.

–

They have a daughter.

It’s not something either of them ever allowed themselves to expect or hope for, not for a long time. Even after arriving somewhere else, after they had settled in and convinced themselves that this was real, that they were together and safe–even then, they approached the concept of the future with…caution. Like it was a skittish animal that might disappear if spooked. They built a life together, a normal life full of so many things they never thought they would be able to have, but each milestone they hit–anniversary, new flat, new jobs–still felt like a precious gift.

And now…

Now, Jon stands in a hospital room, with Martin beaming tiredly up at him from his bed, and he holds the future–their future–in his arms.

Her tiny face is scrunched and red, her distinct lack of hair covered by a pink and blue striped cap. She looks, like many newborns, a little bit like a grumpy old man, but her eyes when she looks up at him are enormous and a deep, dark, beautiful brown.

Jon doesn’t think he’s ever seen anything so perfect. 

Everything about her is minuscule and immaculate, from the delicate curve of her ears to her fine-boned fingers, which Jon takes delicately between his own. He had no idea that fingernails could be so small. Her fingers curl around his thumb and he thinks his heart might explode with an emotion too big for him to name.

After spending months repeatedly convincing himself that they are really here, that this is truly happening–she is real in a way that is utterly undeniable. The weight of her in his arms, the delicate press of her fingers around his thumb, the way her nose is still smudged with red from birth.

She is the most real thing he’s ever seen, and he never wants to stop looking at her.

The tears catch him by surprise, the aching, enormous feeling is too much, too overwhelming to keep inside and it flows out of him in a single, hitched sob. But for once, he doesn’t mind; he’s smiling through the tears, a grin so big it almost hurts.

He wishes he could tell all his past selves that they have something as extraordinary as this ahead of them.

From the bed, Martin reaches out and tugs gently at Jon’s elbow, and Jon immediately follows the pull, handing the baby back to Martin so that he can crawl into bed beside him. He leans his head on Martin’s shoulder, almost eye to eye with their daughter (their daughter!) where she’s resting now on Martin’s chest. She blinks sleepily at him before yawning a huge, face-stretching yawn and closing her eyes.

Jon drapes his arm over both of them, resting his hand lightly on their daughter’s back. And there, holding the two people he loves most in the world–his family–in his arms, for the first time in as long as he can remember, Jon finds he believes in the possibility of the future.

Just thinking of a fix it AU for TMA where Sasha isn’t Not-Them’d. Jon’s still a little traumatized and paranoid because of finding Gertrude, but his paranoia doesn’t get as bad because Not-Sasha isn’t there constantly fuelling it. Tim and he have a better relationship because of that but also because Tim doesn’t lose Sasha and lose trust in everyone around him. But most importantly, Jon keeps a friend because when he starts showing signs of monster-ness, Sasha doesn’t start being wary or afraid of him, but goes full on mad scientist mode.

I much prefer characterization of Sasha where she gets to be just as flawed as Jon, and just a as curious and susceptible to Beholding as he is. I find the idea that she would’ve done everything better if she were the Archivist a really boring one, that does her character a disservice. Sasha being a mirror of Jon, and having strengths he doesn’t but also having less moral qualms than him in some areas is a lot more interesting to me! So I love the idea of Jon starting to become The Archivist and starting to fall into self disgust etc. and Sasha just going “what are the parameters for this? Let’s figure this out together, with science!” And everyone else having to reign her in. She’s respectful of Jon’s boundaries when she realizes they’re there, but is also too curious for either of their own goods.

But! Her complete lack of judgement over his new state of being helps Jon’s self esteem, and even if Tim does have some issues with Jon (that again, never get AS bad just bc Not Sasha isn’t ramping up Jon’s paranoia from a 6 to an 11) he has to admit that one of his favourite people in the world is just as bad, really. Everything is fixed not because Sasha is perfect and so much better than Jon, but because she’s just as flawed and messy as he is.

“Sorry, I er… don’t know why I’m smiling.”

More swirly eye Jon, *this* time in HD!

Will Graham deals with huge amounts of fear. It comes with his imagination.
