In honor of Archivist!Sasha giving me a realization, here’s good ol not!Jon. Because if sasha and jon were swapped, Not!Jon would look like Brian David Gilbert.

fascinations and rest in pieces 👀👀👀👀

sun you make my day <3

fascinations - it was a sasharchivist au that got very convoluted in my planning, to a point where I wasn't enjoying it anymore, so I stopped writing it. I did read back over some of it recently. it's quite horrific! someone does get filled with spiders :)

rest in pieces - ghost au! this one is honestly just kind of depressing, without much recourse from the conclusion, so I sort of wrote a bunch, got sad, and consequently stopped. I enjoy addressing the brevity of existence as much as the next person, but like yeesh. might pick it back up one day when it won't give me the blues, if I find a way to work the ending angle, but here's a snippet!

“You’re lying,” Jon says flatly, glaring at this new, irresponsible goth idiot who thinks playing with Leitners is a gag. “It’s not.” 

“Swear on my mother’s cold, unvisited grave,” the stranger replies with a tired shrug. “2016. We’ve got flying cars now.”

“That’s not —“ Jon bristles. “Do I look like an idiot to you? Or an 18th century peasant?” 

“I mean.” The stranger cocks an eyebrow at him, and Jon straightens his nonexistent collar self-consciously. Not that it does anything. He died a bit disheveled. “That jumper’s a bit, you know, granny-style. But 18th century would be a stretch.” 

“It’s—that’s—excuse me? Who are you?”

thanks for the ask!

Sasharchivist AU-- A Guest for Mr. Bouchard

“Here. I figured this would save you some trouble. The Web’s plans have changed and ‘Elias’ has ceased to be a headache anyone needs to humor. He’s alive, if you’re concerned. The Institute’s people are in no danger.”

“Uh. That’s, ah--thanks. I think. ...I feel like I’m supposed to Know you.”

“You were. In the original Design, anyway. Annabelle tells me you came across a statement I left here some time ago. Before I became another missing person; a dangling loose thread.”

“One of the Leitner statements. The one with the children’s book.”

“Yes. I was already working at the Fanshawe Institute by then. Gertrude arranged it. Still not sure how she caught wind of me while I was jobhunting, or how she recognized the Web’s mark. However she did it, she steered me away from here. I am sure the Web was what convinced her not to go the pragmatic route and burn my flat down--Mother was determined not to waste me.”

“You...”

“You’re Jonathan Sims. Aren’t you?”

“I was. I try to be as much as I can, but a lot of me has been rewritten. There are times I wish I’d gotten away as cleanly as Carlos Vittery did. But that wouldn’t have fed the Web nearly as much as this. It’s a fiend for arachnophobic avatars. Almost as much as it is for dramatic irony. I have a story to tell, if you’d like a proper statement.”

“That...has side effects, in person.”

“I know. But your nightmare would be an upgrade from the ones I have now. So, before we go any further. Hello, Archivist.”

“I’m Mr. Spider.”

SO we have a lot of sasharchivist/sasha lives aus and a lot of Michael lives/the distortion vomits out Michael like a fur ball and Helen is a bro aus.

CONSIDER combining them and a new rarepair comes into play Sasha/Michael.

I crave this. It will not leave my head. This lives rent free in my brain. But have no time or energy or talent to make anything for it myself. So I throw it out in the void hoping someone takes it and does good.

s1 polyarchive gang moving into a place together to save money, using money from their “using the word spooky” jar. they fall in love. nothing goes wrong

pretty sure i had one where sasha survives but has no clue who she is. michael not happy about it

roleswap, with tim getting not-themmed and sasha setting off the explosives in the unknowing to get his revenge for him

[bookburnt]

finally did a writeup of some deets of gerry’s alive and well verse!  oh dear

Gerry still got sick while traveling with Gertrude, but it didn’t kill him.  In this AU, Gertrude asked him to “help out” with reading statements when she noticed him getting ill.  Once he started reading statements, the symptoms started to fade, and he’s doing fine now ... as long as he doesn’t go for too long without a statement.

He’s aware that this is not a good sign for his humanity, but he still tries to help people out wherever he can, and he doesn’t take statements from anyone who hasn’t come in to give one.

He was separated from Gertrude at the time of her death.  She had sent him to Ny-Ålesund at the time of the Dark’s ritual to make it look like she was taking it seriously, hoping that doing so would throw Elias off while she burned down the Institute.  No dice; Elias still copped what she was up to and shot her down.

Despite everything, Gerry misses her and feels guilty over her death.  Although he still never fully trusted her, in this AU he never had to realize the full extent of how cruel she was willing to be, as she never bound him into the book.

He knows that both Gertrude and he were fully aware of the risks of their existence, and that Gertrude was completely willing to die for her cause.  He’s not exactly out for vengeance, though the idea is very tempting to him.  Still, given that the last time he went out for vengeance he nearly joined the Hunt permanently, he tries to be more careful with his anger these days.  With that in mind, he’s lowkey trying to figure out what Gertrude was up to and finish it for her.

After Gertrude’s death, Elias transferred Gerry (who was technically already an Institute employee via his work with Gertrude) to the Archives.

He’s aware that Gertrude never wanted him to work in the Archives proper. Sometimes, under the void of grief, it hurts to know that he’s still a disappointment, but she’s dead and he has no other options.

He's somewhat distant from the other Archives staff as of the start of s1, partly because he has no shared history with anyone else in there, and partly because everyone knows the big scary goth flayed his own mother, which is ... not a great foundation to be building office friendships on.

Gerry does not like his job at the Archives, he does not like the Institute, he does not like Elias, and he does not initially like Jon.  That last one is less about Jon as a person- I do see them as having the potential to work well as friends and/or partners once they’ve both gotten past some shit, and I’m always down to plot that out with players of Jons.  Gerry’s initial animosity towards Jon in this verse is more about Gerry’s own issues with Archivists and with the idea of Gertrude being replaced by someone so inept.  In Sasharchivist verses, while he may not trust Sasha immediately, there’s much less animosity.

Despite all that bitterness, though, he’s still surprisingly kind under his crunchy goth shell.

Keeps very irregular hours, and is often off doing “research work” that no one else really knows anything about.  Is probably the most competent person on s1 Archives staff, given all his experience dealing with this shit, but also the most useless to the actual Institute, because FUCK being useful to the Magnus Institute.

He knows that his dad found a way to quit somehow, but he doesn’t know how.  He wants out, but in the meantime, it’s all he can do to keep looking out for others.

Whenever a statement mentions a weird goth with tattoos, he just kind of walks backwards out of the room.  Can’t have been him who talked to that girl in Italy; he’s never been there.  Can’t have been him who bought that dude’s spooky book; he doesn’t even know how to read.  Can’t have been him who got brought into the hospital covered in burns (that happen to line up with his current burn scars) with a passport identifying him as “Gerard Keay” and then vaporized a man; he medically doesn’t exist.  Etc, etc, etc.

Office gossip about Gerry ranges from “yeah I’m pretty sure I saw him trying to get blood out of his shirt in the men's room” to “he dumped the entire thing of sugar in the break room into his coffee and then there was none left to put in my tea.”

[iknowthatyoudontknow]

i dont have the skill or the time to draw it properly but i cant stop thinking about this single timetravel tma au × sasharchivist au scene.

jon travels in time and space through helen's door. it works! hes back in the archives! except that theres this... random woman(??) in his office? at his desk on his chair? staring at him like *volume of a cylinder* because he came out of a door that doesnt exist. reasonable. but who is she?? "who are you?" he asks "uhhh sasha archivist james?? hello? who are YOU, michael's cousin-" but jon only half registers the question because he just put the dots together that THIS!! IS THE REAL SASHA! not the copy! shes alive and well and not eaten! holy shit! hes like "its me, jon!!! im so happy youre alive!" but sasha says "john is a common name, what john, what the hell" "jon who works in research??" "no way you dont look like jon" and as she says this. she points towards the hallway. he has to do a whole 180 turn to look. there is this blond twink in the doorframe. hes holding some files and has that taxidermy_fox.jpeg look on his face. jon loses his fucking shit

#and then he vaporizes him #someone draw this challenge #no ok but not!jon would have a better sense of self preservation than not!sasha #i mean if you ate someone and took their place and that someone came out of a magic door and covered in EYES #you would think twice before acting like a little shit #wouldnt you? #tma #tma au #the void yells back

should i tag sasharchivist au stuff as tma spoilers it doesn’t technically happen in it it’s just popped up a lot more bc of a detail dropped in 161

The Archivist(s) OR What If Jon and Sasha Both Had the Title? OR Wish-Fulfillment x2

In honor of @letsdontdie and their excellent proposition

• The way I see it, this would only work if Elias became aware of Jon after promoting Sasha to Archivist as seemed to be originally intended. That would mean Jon turned up at the Institute later in the game; possibly due to Gertrude interfering. If Jonalias Bouchnus could spot the Web on him, she certainly would have. After Emma, I doubt she’d take any chances, and pulled some strings of her own to get him working elsewhere.

So Sasha gets the office post-brutal Archivist murder. But, the Web being the Web, that doesn’t fly long. They pull Jon back on course and chuck him at the Institute.

• Elias is confused and/or mildly panicked. Yes, Sasha’s on the road to Archivisthood, but here’s Jon all gift-wrapped by the Fear of Grandiose Masterminding Plots humming along in research. Shit. Does he have to kill Sasha? No, no, better to just let things play out naturally. Stick him in the Archives as an assistant. If one dies he’ll still have the other to work with. Great planning, Elias.

• Here’s where it gets sticky. The Eye is fucking jazzed. From its perspective, it just got two Archivists for the price of one. I mean, look at these two reckless, brilliant idiots who are 1) rightly fearful of the genuine bogeymen, but also 2) entirely ready to fuck around and find out. That, and Sasha and Jon click almost immediately even without the history of working in research beforehand. They’re on the exact same fucked-up-if-true wavelength.

Sasha being Sasha and Jon being Jon, they’re also both extremely fluid when it comes to things like not-quite-legal research methods. The new version of the Jon/Martin dynamic is Martin being the first one to volunteer to join Jon on his breaking-and-entering Creative Intel Gathering expeditions. Tim and Sasha have a running bet on how long Jon can stay oblivious to the obvious.

All the while, Jon starts spending more time in Sasha’s office. She invites him or he invites himself, and somehow, their usual talks start lapsing into longer conversations that snowball into Sasha bullshitting an unofficial new title—Head Archival Assistant—if only to have Jon in the room with her, splitting the statements and recordings and theories.

(Tim and Martin are respectively jealous for a hot second before they realize it’s basically just the two of them being cryptic at each other in a constant spooky feedback loop.)

• Shit starts getting real. Michael happens. Prentiss happens. But this time around, no one on the main crew gets taken by the Not-Them. Unfortunately, that likely means someone else will have to go. (RIP Rosie :c). This is when the Archivist shenanigans start picking up. Sasha and Jon are both scarred by the Corruption. The tunnels happen, etc.

Only now, the Archivist—and Archivist II—can’t get away with doing that paranoid lone-investigation stuff. Why? Because they keep running into each other in the middle of their Stranger-induced spastic episodes.

Sasha, snooping in the tunnels: What are you doing here?

Jon, also snooping in the tunnels: What are you doing here?

Sasha: I asked you first.

Jon: I asked you second.

Jurgen, hiding in the wall: Oh God, there’s two of them.

Et cetera. But since the Eye is empowering both of them, they get double the Archivist juice on their side. Intuitions and sharp Sight come at a quicker pace than with one Archivist, and things start happening fast. Monsters and rituals and lore and murder investigations, oh my. Except…

• ...Something odd starts happening with the Archivist title being split—namely, it doesn’t want to be that way. Cutting its power and Knowledge in half is too much work, so Sasha and Jon start getting eerily in-sync with each other. Breekon and Hope can’t hold a candle to them; they just Know what each other’s situation is, what they’re thinking, what they’re Witnessing, et al.

And they’re more powerful for it. They tear through avatars and rituals like tissue paper. The former of which have stopped calling either of them the Archivist.

Now, they’re the Curious Pair.

An ideal episode name for when they inevitably make the…slips we find out about in “Scrutiny.”

“Th-they were just staring at me, both of them. I couldn’t tell if they were, you know, together, or if they were related. Definitely had the same eyes. Same scars. And they just—they didn’t blink. Not once. […] When I get up to leave, I turn, right, just to see if the weirdos were still gawking at me, and they are. Right. There. Not a foot away from me. They say—together, right, exactly together, they say, ‘Tell us your story.’

“And I do. And they sit there on either side of me, just drinking in the misery and…”

The intervention fallout happens. (This time, they have more than a half-hearted Daisy and a gaslighting Helen as their ‘support network.’ They have each other.)

The Lonely happens, this time grabbing Martin and Tim. Cue a double-beatdown for Peter.

• Fast-forward to the cabin. It’s a foursome now. Tim makes a joke about not wanting to leave Sasha with two eligible bachelors. Jon would be faking laughter if he weren’t busy kissing Martin. 

We get to the Hazel Rutter statement. It could be a Hello, Jon or a Hello, Sasha at this point. But this time, the other Archivist tunes in to what’s happening before the reader can finish the summoning.

Sasha tackles Jon or vice versa. Jonah’s words are cut short.

The rest of the series is the Curious Pair hunting down Jonah to burn his eyes out. The End~
