#that scene in MAG 160 where Martin is outside looking at cows while the eye opens will get WAY louder than you think

[nefkyo]

TMA au where Jon is French and Martin is Italian and that's the whole reason Jon initially doesn't like him. Except both of them have grown up in London and can cancel out the accent, so it's really just. Instinct. Martin uses his hands while talking, is way too honest and drinks strangely small amounts of tea (bonus points if we actually just have him drink coffee), and it weirds Jon out. Though he never asks questions because he's an antisocial little bitch.

Also it would make that one scene in S1 go like this

Jon: You didn't die here, did you?

Martin: ...What? NO, what??

Jon: I know, I know, I'm sorry!

Martin: That is the LAST thing this Institute would need. A wandering Italian ghost. Do you even hear yourself?

Jon: ...You're Italian?

Martin:

Jon:

Martin: Ma porca di quella- Jon, how did you not know that?

Jon: I don't know, we never talk!

Martin: No, you never talk to me! (Scoff) French...

Jon: Excuse me?

Martin: No. No I don't think I will.
