Season One Archival Team! (Plus Rosie)

coming up with an au were a dead character lives but shaking my head while i do it so everyone watching knows i support the role their death played in the narrative and consider it a legitimate writing choice

TWO LIKES LET'S GO

“How am I supposed to rest like this?” Jon demands. “I am genuinely asking, Martin. How am I supposed to…I can't think, I can't–” He covers his face with his hands. “I keep thinking if I can just, just stop...but then my skin is burning, and I can't go to bed and sleep it off, a-and it's all awful. I want to touch you.” “I know,” Martin says indulgently.  “No, you don't,” Jon snaps. He drags his hands down his unshaven cheeks. “This isn't working. It's too superficial, I need–” He goes still, revelation dawning. He knows what he does when he's overstimulated.  “Jon?”  Jon finishes dragging his hands down his cheeks, shell-shocked. “Hm?”  “Did you think of something?” Martin prompts.  “Ah. I. Yes,” Jon says. “Yes, I did.” He gives Martin a considering look-over. He's been helpful so far. Eager, even. And…kind. Not so kind that it's all an act, either. But this would be asking Martin to enter in on something Jon doesn't talk about with anyone, at least in regards to himself.  He thinks about it plenty, in an abstract sense. Thinks about the sensations. Regards it all as a very interesting experiment, one which plenty of people have tested, and which he can therefore enter into his own case study of with (more or less) pleasurable results.  But to ask for Martin’s help means explaining it out loud, and that is…well, that's no good at all.

THE STARING MAN — The man takes a long drag of his cigarette, and it is only now that you realize he has not blinked this entire time. "You have a story for me," he finally says. It is not a question. It is a statement of fact.

an extant form of life- chapter 7

In which several things get harder to ignore 👀

“Jon, hey,” he says, kneeling back down. Jon looks up and forces swollen eyelids open. Grey retreats from the whites of his eyes as the light hits them. Martin’s stomach turns over. “Hey, there you are. So. Um. It seems…worse.” Jon looks down at his arms. “Ah.”

Does...does anyone want an excerpt? Should I start doing those?
