Summary
No escape into living oblivion for Gerry anymore. Now he lived on high alert. He'd resigned himself to being hurt, or killed, or occasionally being treated like an actual human being, but he couldn't afford that sort of apathy anymore; Jon was the best thing to ever happen to Gerry, and Jon needed him. The fact that he could focus on how Jon's existence benefited him in spite of the circumstances just drove home how vigilant Gerry had to be to ensure nothing slipped past him.
The Hunters kidnap Jon and Gerry and then Jon and Gerry get codependent about it.

Summary
The night Jonathon crosses a line, and takes a statement by force.
___________________He was so, so tired. Tired of looking over his shoulder, tired of trying, tired of pretending. Tired of the weight of loathing and loneliness crushing him. These thoughts ran like sticky, viscous tar through the man’s mind.
And Jonathon Sims allowed himself to do something he had never done before.
He let go.

Summary
Jon snaps to awareness. His breath feels as if it’s being punched out of him and when he drags air back into his lungs it is like his throat, the soft flesh of it, is having razor barbed wire tugged through it. He clutches at the shirt over his chest, pulling at the worn cotton until the collar cuts into his skin by his neck and rubs it raw.
”Jon?” Martin’s voice comes from next to him. ”Are you alright?”
A nightmare, and a difficult conversation at the end of humanity.

(meta) on jon's monstrosity and addiction by BlueGirl22
Fandoms: The Magnus Archives (Podcast)

Summary
"Anonymous asked: I guess the thing that makes me not so fond of Jon's addiction allegory is that it's only coherent to a certain extent? Like I think people sometimes forget that he's actively violating these people"
"annabelle--cane answered: anon, through no fault of your own you have accidentally hit upon my sleeper agent trigger phrase. I have layers of answers to this."

(meta) on the question of statement starvation by BlueGirl22
Fandoms: The Magnus Archives (Podcast)

Summary
"okay here's a tma thing that's been bugging me for like three years: I've seen a bunch of people say that jon needed to extract statements in order to live, and thus the others making him stop was equivalent to forcing him to starve to death, so I'd like to say that that isn't actually canon."

Cut My Hair and Changed My Face (I'm Learning How to Forget That Place) by iamcringebutiamfree
Fandoms: The Magnus Archives (Podcast)
15 Feb 2024
Tags
Summary
“You sure about this?” Daisy asked, once again, and once again Jon nodded.
“I can’t make it pretty.”
Jon laughed. “It can’t look any worse than it does now.”
He would miss his long hair. He’d always liked the way it looked. It seemed to soften his features, and he needed that more than ever now. The dark circles under his eyes were a permanent feature these days, and the one-two punch of his coma followed swiftly by his time in the Buried had left him looking unsettlingly gaunt. He doubted his new haircut was going to suit him.
Daisy’s suited her. She’d chopped it all off as soon as she got out, cutting away the hair she’d grown in the Buried and then some. It was a far from professional cut (and didn’t speak wonders for how Jon’s hair would look) but it set off her sharp, angular face quite nicely.
Jon gets a haircut. It's a much more difficult process than he's expecting.

A Man’s Eating Habits Are His Own by SeraphitefromSeattle
Fandoms: The Magnus Archives (Podcast)
16 Jan 2024
Tags
Summary
Jon does not need to Know to understand that Beholding is hungry. Only hungry, a grain of sand behind his eye; irritating with the distinct impression that he wants to itch.
But he may not. Itching is for the Filth, the Corruption to scratch at their blistering, sloughing skin. And Jonathan Sims is not of the worms, of the things that crawl into your corpse when you are buried or not.
At least, not all of him is.
-
Jon needs to eat.
So he does.

Summary
Agony.
He woke in an instant, fingers tearing at the skin of his gums as something hot and wet and distinctly iron pooled at the bottom of his mouth. Jon’s screams of misery and terror were cut by a wet cough, crimson ichor spilling all down the front of his shirt as he tried in desperation to sit up and scream.
-
Twenty-two written statements, four spoken and five pulled from the lips of passersby. These all pull into an alternate ending of TMA, and Jon Sees a lot earlier than in canon.
CURRENTLY BEING REWORKED AS OF MAY 12TH, 2024.

But am I a monster to you? by NebbyAxolotl for pocketsizedquasar
Fandoms: The Magnus Archives (Podcast)
27 Aug 2023

Summary
Martin’s hard to ask about much of anything. He talks, sure, about the cows on their daily walks to stave away the depression from sitting inside and gettin no sun, about how nice it is to be out of the city – and when Jon asks him if he’s lived in a small town before, Martin goes back to shrugs and nods and “mhm hm”s, and it’s all Jon can do not to yell at him and ask him if he really wanted to come out of the lonely if all he’s going to do is take it with him.
It changes over a pack of cigarettes.
pocketsizedquasar asked:
cabin fever for jonmartin?

Summary
Jon finally reached the cow. Moving slower than a snail, he laid a hand on her head and petted her. Martin brought out the camera once more. “You’re such a sweet friend,” Jon told her, smiling softly. He bent over a bit in order to reach Cocoa’s ears, which he dutifully ruffled. The little wrinkles at the edges of his eyelids disappeared without a trace as he grinned.
Cocoa the Cow stuck her tongue out in a little blep. Then she rammed her block of a head into Jon’s shin hard enough that Jon crumpled like he’d been tackled by former pro rugby player Richie McCaw.
or, a very annoying cow keeps preventing Jon from reading a certain statement about a house fire, and everyone suffers for it, until they don't.

Summary
A mysterious forum begins to gain traction after the apocalypse, allowing anyone in the world to publicly discuss their experiences with the paranormal. Martin is convinced the Fear Entities haven't actually left their world, he just needs to prove it.
