    Summary

    "We did it, sir," Angus whispers as he reaches the couch. He still can't quite get his brain to move past that. Fully processing the day's events is going to take time and probably several cork boards worth of notes connected by red yarn.

    Taako's mouth twitches upward in a tired smile. "We sure did, mijo." Fuzzily, Angus wonders what the word means, but he's too tired to devote much thought to it. Besides, it's barely a flicker in comparison to all the other new information he's received today.

    --

    5 times Angus wonders about Taako's new nickname for him + 1 time he finds out what it means.

    Summary

    Angus McDonald is a very bright boy. A very polite boy. The best boy.
    Angus McDonald is also a very very scared boy.
    Taako doesn't recognize the look Ango gets in his eyes when he's reminded of his past. He doesn't. Absolutely not.
    And it does not make him want to protect Ango from anything and everything that wants to hurt him.

    Summary

    “Have you got anywhere to stay?” Jon asks him, briskly. “Friends, acquaintances, maybe, who you could stay with…?”

    Martin flushes, deeply. “I, I mean— n-no, not really,” he stammers, and then goes even redder. “Or, just, y’know not that I’d want to, to. Put in the middle of this. Put in danger of, of worms.”

    “Ah,” Jon says, “No, of course, that makes sense.” Why drag anyone else into this mess? Seven people died during Prentiss’s initial hospitalization; the collateral damage of roping someone from outside the Institute into her orbit doesn’t bare thinking about. “In that case…” Jon feels like there’s some alternative solution, one he’s just not thinking of at the moment, but it evades him, and Martin needs somewhere safe to stay. “My couch is quite comfortable. You’re welcome to come and stay with me until you figure something else out.”

     

    Martin is held hostage by Jane Prentiss for two weeks, and can't go back to his flat. Jon offers him a place to stay until Prentiss and her worms can be dealt with, and they can be sure he's safe.

    Summary

    “So it happens gradually,” Jon says. “So you have to experience it happening?” 

    “Seems like it,” Martin agrees, still looking a little worried. “I wonder what sets it off.” 

    “Maybe it’s -” Jon sits up, surveying his legs, which are also growing fur across the insides of his thighs. They feel soft and plush when he presses them together. “Behavioral?” 

    “You mean, the more you act like a cat,” Martin says, wrinkling his nose as he processes, “the faster you turn into one?” 

    ---
    Rather than risk forcing statements from people, Jon tries on a collar touched by the Stranger that slowly transforms him into a cat.
