#and ultimately if you're afriad of going on in a relationship then you may as well end it. so she can't blame him

my one 100% solid headcanon for The Magnus Archives is that John and Georgie met in the paranormal research section of the uni library and that John was so embarrassed to be found there that he started a conversation in self-defence, which revealed Georgie to be a really funny, personable gal who took the supernatural as seriously as he did. By the time he realized what was going on, she’d already asked him on a coffee date and he’d accepted

#kelsey liveblogs the magnus archives #from what we know about john he doesn't really seek out serious personal friendships let alone romance #(he considers plenty of people friends but he doesn't proactively keep up with them outside of work) #so the only way i can imagine him and georgie getting together is georgie going 'oh he's genuine and charming and he has similar interests' #and john being carried away on the wave of friendly library girl and latching on to her after three actually-good dates #the other less solid hc is that they were together for quite a while (3-5 years) because they got on so well/never had a reason to break up #but then once they got into the zone where they seriously had to talk about the long term... #john got scared of a) the implications of a committed partnership when you are a traumatized young paranormal researcher #b) his own preconceptions/misconceptions about how a relationship could go with an allo person once you make that commitment #in his mind they left on bad terms because he ended the relationship out of his own fear/mistrust of georgie #(she may or may not have called him on it at the time) #and in georgie's mind she still considers him a good friend because they were really close for quite a while and enjoy each other's company #and ultimately if you're afriad of going on in a relationship then you may as well end it. so she can't blame him
