point of view (or: the magnus archives, as seen through various posts on social media)

Summary:

A random admin worker at The Magnus Institute decides to start posting online about the weird things that keep happening at her workplace. What she wasn't expecting was for some small posts about her sexist boss and the weird new head of the archives to end up spiralling into a saga involving multiple kidnappings, dead bodies, and several ghost-hunting social media stars.

Notes:

there weren't enough social media fics in this fandom, so I decided to write my own!!

Melanie ended up being a larger part of this than I expected, but tbf she IS the only famous person in the archive cast, so I probably should have figured haha
(also omg titles are SO hard)

alsoooo I wasn't really planning on writing any fics about non-vigilantes, but my friend got me into TMA and. yeah now apparently I have fic ideas!! we'll see how long this fixation lasts but at this moment I have like three more fics planned for the fandom dfkjhgskfdh (now to see if I ever get around to writing/finishing them...)

anyway the only actually important note: all canon characters have their names bolded !! so that you don't have to try and scrutinize every username to try and tell who's canon or not haha

Chapter Text

<3 @starcr0ssed

wow I always thought the place I worked was pretty progressive but APPARENTLY the head of the company is a complete sexist. so that’s great (sarcasm)

 

Ray @rachelsmith

What happened??

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

one of the department heads went missing and the boss had to get a replacement right? and there’s this one lady who EVERYONE knew was going to be the replacement, she’s worked here forever and is super qualified

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

but instead he promoted some random guy who has no idea what he’s doing and made the lady his ASSISTANT???

 

Ray @rachelmsmith

Oh, yikes.

 

lynn (they/them) @lynnlynnlynn

kenzie ngl I’m a bit more worried about the fact that someone at your job went *missing*?

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

…yeah, I’m worried about that too, but the job market sucks and this job pays super well so unfortunately despite both of these reasons I can’t really leave lol

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

alsooo tbh I think there was just something weird with her (the person who went missing), she was always skulking around the building at weird hours and sometimes she just disappeared for months at a time??

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

and she never hired any assistants (apparently she used to have some but that was before I started working here) so the whole department was just… empty. and for some reason the boss said it was fine ??

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

and when she WAS here she kept bringing around some random goth guy but I asked him once and he said he didn’t work there… so like idk what that was about either. ig maybe her unemployed grandson? idk lol

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

point is if I were to bet on anyone here going missing it would have been her anyway

 

lynn (they/them) @lynnlynnlynn

damnnn your job lore is crazy

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

I’m so glad I work in admin, like people think finances and stuff are boring but it’s kind of nice not being involved in whatever insanity is going on everywhere else in this place lol

 


 

js @js460347

I constantly find myself wondering why my boss thought it was a good idea to give me this promotion. I will continue to do my best to complete my tasks, but it’s extremely frustrating having such a large workload thrust onto me without warning.

 

Georgie of What The Ghost!! @what_the_georgie

come on, I’m sure you’ll do great once you get the hang of things!

 

js @js460347

Thank you, Georgie. I do hope so.

 


 

<3 @starcr0ssed

y’all remember that new department head I was talking about? I had to go down there today to ask him to sign something and he didn’t answer his office door. so I walked in and he was talking into a tape recorder? for some reason??

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

like, I know they do recordings down there (his department is the archives) but I’m pretty sure they’re supposed to do them using like a computer, not some weird ancient technology

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

and he was like full-on voice acting too. didn’t hear what he was actually saying because when I went in he stopped and seemed super annoyed at me for interrupting him, but anyway. such a weird guy

 

Ray @rachelsmith

I don’t envy you having to interact with this guy, but I’m also weirdly invested in hearing about stuff from your job now.

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

lol I don’t blame you

 

lynn (they/them) @lynnlynnlynn

me too!! please post more stories (if you have them)

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

I don’t have any more right now, but I will if I see anything else weird !!

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

I already was going to tbh because these posts always get way more likes than usual, I think people like weird work stories lol




 

<3 @starcr0ssed

archives update!! and it’s a weird one but actually NOT about the archives boss this time? it’s about one of the assistants, who is apparently just… living down there now?? yes, in the basement. and there’s a worm infestation

 

Ethannnn 👽️ @galactic4762

They’re living there even though there are worms down there?

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

oops, I guess I was kind of vague, afaik the worms aren’t actually in the archives. they’re just kind of… crawling around the building sometimes, and nobody knows where they came from

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

anyway I don’t actually have proof they’re connected but the archives staff have been acting sooo weird around them so. I have a hunch

 

lynn (they/them) @lynnlynnlynn

kenzie work update just dropped !! (girl what is even going on there)

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

I’d say I wish I knew, but I’m not sure I do tbh




 

m.k.🌈 @an-eterni-tea

I’ve never been more bored in my life

 

Sasha @sashahhhhhhh

Come for drinks Friday? I promise Tim and I won’t let you out of our sight

 

m.k.🌈 @an-eterni-tea

…okay

 

stoking the flames @kayakking

sounds good! u cant stay stuck in that room forever

 

m.k.🌈 @an-eterni-tea

haha I hope not

 




<3 @starcr0ssed

okay I was just walking through the halls on the way to the library AND I THINK I JUST SAW MELANIE KING???

 

ryan evans @allthegoodusernamesweretaken

OMG WHERE DO YOU WORK

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

I’m not doxxing myself just so her stans can go stalk her lol

 

lynn (they/them) @lynnlynnlynn

like, ghost hunt uk melanie king????

 

lynn (they/them) @lynnlynnlynn

I never thought I’d say this but I’m so jealous of where you work now, she’s a legend




 

js @js460347

I can’t believe someone at work thought I didn’t know what a meme was.

 

Georgie of What The Ghost!! @what_the_georgie

that’s because when you’re there you dress like an old man

 

js @js460347

It’s called being professional?

 

ryan evans @allthegoodusernamesweretaken

hellooooo why is my favourite podcaster commenting on some random person’s posts??? somebody tell me who this I’m dying from curiousity

 

js @js460347

No.




 

<3 @starcr0ssed

ugh the fire alarm went off :P 

 

lynn (they/them) @lynnlynnlynn

archives update?

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

no I don’t think so I think someone just set it off by accident tbh

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

…okayyyyy never mind, I haven’t seen any of the archives people evacuate the building

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

or the head of the company actually

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

okay wow yeah the alarm wasn’t an accident, a bunch of exterminators just showed up? is this related to the worms??

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

there are police cars now???

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

ummmmm the boss just came out and told us we all have the week off. still haven’t seen any of the archives staff so I guess they’re all still in there. wtf

 

Ray @rachelsmith

Are you okay?

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

yeah, just got home. you got any days off this week? since I apparently now have a lot of free time lol

 


 

<3 @starcr0ssed

okay, can confirm fire alarm from the other day WAS apparently because of the worms. they were living in the walls of the archives, apparently, and apparently someone accidentally knocked a hole in the wall (?) or something and a bunch of them came out?

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

everyone I ask is a bit fuzzy on the details. but apparently they attacked a few people and kind of swarmed the archives?

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

I have a hard time picturing it, it had to have been a LOT of worms? but there’s your explanation




 

<3 @starcr0ssed

another wild archives update. apparently they found the body of the old archives boss while clearing out the worms. I’m not joking. nobody knows who killed her either

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

no I don’t really know where they found it or anything else, I’m still off work, just hearing this from a coworker who asked an exterminator! and apparently he was (annoyingly) also vague on the details

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

but it seems nobody who works at my job is a suspect atm, so that’s good (I’m taking what I can get lol)




 

<3 @starcr0ssed

MELANIE KING JUST SHOWED UP AT WORK AGAIN. unfortunately I did NOT see her myself but one of my coworkers did

 

melanie king is my queen @ghosthuntukfannn

i would literally kill to be you rn

 

melanie king is my queen @ghosthuntukfannn

…okay, excluding the part about the dead body they found at your job, whoops




 

<3 @starcr0ssed

THEY JUST FOUND A *SECOND* DEAD BODY IN THE ARCHIVES ????????!!!!!!

 

lynn (they/them) @lynnlynnlynn

WHAT??? are you okay

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

yeah I didn’t see it or anything and they let us go home early. but ummmm wtf

 

lynn (they/them) @lynnlynnlynn

I’m coming over

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

lol please do, I know I said I wasn’t even there but I’m still kind of rattled




 

<3 @starcr0ssed

update, apparently they think the murderer is the head of the archives. and he’s on the run from the police. I genuinely could not make this up.

 

melanie king is my queen @ghosthuntukfannn

like, the same department head from your first ever post about your job? the guy who was promoted because of sexism?

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

wow I forget that people have now actually gone back to my posts from that long ago. but yeah




 

m.k.🌈 @an-eterni-tea

I’m not sure how to feel right now

 

stoking the flames @kayakking

im right there with you




 

<3 @starcr0ssed

so I was scrolling through our employee database while doing payroll right. and why is Melanie King’s name ON there. ofc I’d assume it was just some random person with the same name if I hadn’t seen THE Melanie King here before, but I have, so does. does Melanie King work here now???? I’m baffled

 

ryan evans @allthegoodusernamesweretaken

no way melanie king would go work in some dusty old company, i knew this acc was just making stuff up lol

 

Ray @rachelsmith

I would also think she was making this stuff up if I didn’t know her personally, but I can promise she’s not lying.

 

ryan evans @allthegoodusernamesweretaken

lolll right i think youre just trying to get followers

 


 

js @js460347

Got kidnapped. I wish things would stop happening to me.

 


 

<3 @starcr0ssed

so archives boss guy/guy who was ACCUSED OF MURDER is just back in work now and everyone’s acting like it’s fine

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

oh and can confirm THE Melanie King works here now

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

I think we’ve kind of lost the plot ngl

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

and I only saw the murder guy for like a second but he also had a huge bandage on his hand. which I can only assume he got while on the run from the police. I’m not sure how much more of this I can take

 

lynn (they/them) @lynnlynnlynn

insane that the melanie king thing is the LEAST bizarre thing about this post

 

js @js460347

I have just recently become aware of this account. Please do not call me “the murder guy”, I was framed and have returned to work because I have finally been acquitted of the crime.

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

UHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

lynn (they/them) @lynnlynnlynn

is that actually the guy you’ve been talking about

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

YEAH I’M PRETTY SURE

 


 

<3 @starcr0ssed

archives guy if you’re reading this please just pretend you never saw my account. I thought I was being vague enough but apparently not 😭

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

I will not call you murder guy though, sorry

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

but wtf this is so weird

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

oh god I hope I don’t get fired over this

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

although at this point that wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world tbh

Notes:

edit: forgot to say when chapter 2 is coming out lol, it's done and just needs some edits, and I'll be posting it in a week! :)

Chapter 2: the end

Notes:

the promised second chapter :)

Chapter Text

#1 spooky crime fan @ghoulsjustwannahavefun

I’ve been following posts by user @starcr0ssed after they started mentioning my favourite ghost youtuber Melanie King of Ghost Hunt UK, and that user just had an interaction with a username I thought I recognized: @js460347. 1/?

 

#1 spooky crime fan @ghoulsjustwannahavefun

And I was RIGHT. Whoever this guy is, he’s had a *number* of interactions with ghost *podcaster* Georgie Barker of What The Ghost! Although vague, interactions suggest that they have been friends for a number of years. 2/?

 

#1 spooky crime fan @ghoulsjustwannahavefun

Melanie and Georgie have previously worked together and their interactions prove that they’re probably good friends, but I have no idea where this random new archives guy fits into the picture. 3/?

 

#1 spooky crime fan @ghoulsjustwannahavefun

Especially if @starcr0ssed is correct that Melanie has started working at the same company that js460347 does. 4/?

 

#1 spooky crime fan @ghoulsjustwannahavefun

As you can imagine I’m now thoroughly invested in this situation, so I will be posting more updates as they come! 5/5

 


 

stoking the flames @kayakking

holy shit our boss has social media??

 

Sasha @sashahhhhhhh

So, you’ve been following starcr0ssed’s posts too?

 

stoking the flames @kayakking

yeah, its a bit weird reading about our life from an outside perspective

 

Sasha @sashahhhhhhh

How long do you think until they find our accounts?

 

stoking the flames @kayakking

now that youve mentioned starcr0ssed by name, probably not that long lol

 


 

js @js460347

Got kidnapped again. I guess this is just my life now.

 

js @js460347

At least I didn’t die.

 

m.k.🌈 @an-eterni-tea

WHAT???

 

m.k.🌈 @an-eterni-tea

are you okay???

 

js @js460347

…I was not aware that you knew I had an account.

 

m.k.🌈 @an-eterni-tea

well, a lot of people are talking about you and Melanie, so it’s not much of a secret now

 

m.k.🌈 @an-eterni-tea

but seriously, what happened??

 

js @js460347

I’m fine. We’ll talk in person.

 

stoking the flames @kayakking

seriously doubting youre actually fine

 

Sasha @sashahhhhhhh

You need to talk to all of us. Clearly our boss won’t tell us what’s going on, and we shouldn’t be learning things like this through a social media account that you didn’t even actually tell us about

 

js @js460347

…Fine. I’ll talk with all of you in person.

 

Sasha @sashahhhhhhh

Glad to hear it.

 


 

<3 @starcr0ssed

no, I was not aware that the archives guy had been kidnapped. I hadn’t seen him in a long time, but I thought that was probably related to the false murder charges? like, he was taking a vacation or something

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

and apparently he’s now off travelling, so yeah, no more archives updates really

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

I mean Melanie King still works here but I don’t really see her around and I haven’t talked to her, she always seems preoccupied and I’m not going to be one of Those people

 


 

melanie king is my queen @ghosthuntukfannn

I know she doesn’t owe us updates, but I wish I knew if Melanie was ever going to come back to youtubing.

 

melanie king is my queen @ghosthuntukfannn

I know she has that new job (although we still don’t actually know where), but we haven’t really gotten any details from her herself? She hasn’t posted anywhere in so long.

 

melanie king is my queen @ghosthuntukfannn

But Melanie King, if you see this, your videos helped me a lot during a difficult time in my life, and I hope you’re able to come back to making them some day <3

 


 

js @js460347

Just got kidnapped for a third time.

 

stoking the flames @kayakking

oh god, what happened this time

 

stoking the flames @kayakking

assuming ur okay

 

js @js460347

I’m fine, I didn’t even get tied up this time.

 

m.k.🌈 @an-eterni-tea

can you call soon? we’re all worried about you, and these posts aren’t exactly helping

 

js @js460347

Yes, I should be able to. I just need to make a statement first.

 

Sasha @sashahhhhhhh

Statement? I didn’t think you brought any with you

 

js @js460347

…I’ll tell you about it over the phone.

 




<3 @starcr0ssed

archives guy is back from travelling apparently, so more archive updates coming soon??? (once again, no I was not aware that he was kidnapped, but he was in america apparently. no idea why. I have literally no clue what’s going on)

 

lynn (they/them) @lynnlynnlynn

I’m not sure whether I should be scared or excited for more updates

 

Ray @rachelsmith

Both.

 


 

<3 @starcr0ssed

so I do have an archives update, but it’s a grim one. archives guy is apparently in a coma, one of the archives assistants (at least I think that’s what she was? she seemed involved, anyway) is missing, and another one is in the hospital. no, I don’t know what happened, and I’m not going to ask

 

Ethannnn 👽️ @galactic4762

I know I don’t know any of these people, but I hope they’re okay…

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

yeah, me too.

 


 

<3 @starcr0ssed

so you guys know the probably-sexist boss I was talking about in my first other work post? he just got arrested on murder charges. apparently HE was actually the murderer of the person everyone thought archives guy murdered

 

lynn (they/them) @lynnlynnlynn

and archives guy is…?

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

still in a coma. that one assistant got out of the hospital, at least, although he’s got a LOT of scarring. again, I’m not going to pry into it when I don’t actually really know any of them.

 

lynn (they/them) @lynnlynnlynn

right. I wish your work updates didn’t all have such a bleak undertone to them now.

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

believe me, so do I

 


 

<3 @starcr0ssed

okayyyy less depressing but no less weird work update - we got a replacement for the murder boss and… nobody has seen him. not a single person.

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

but there’s fog like, everywhere sometimes. indoors.

 


 

<3 @starcr0ssed

work update but sorry in advance it’s not actually that interesting? at least when compared to my other updates

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

basically the new boss (new company head after the old one was arrested on murder charges, if you don’t follow me) has started putting out a bunch of new policies and renovations and stuff

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

and no none of us really see him still btw. but basically they just installed these soundproof cubicles and we’re not allowed to share lunch breaks anymore or even have meetings

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

it’s just… kind of isolating tbh and I’m so glad I have friends outside of work who have been coming to visit me. because if I didn’t have them this would be like realllllly getting to me. it still kind of is if I’m honest

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

so yeah. like I said not really a fun or interesting update, just a depressing one :/

 


 

<3 @starcr0ssed

…*weird* update? I think the archives staff just live in the building now. like, all of them. idk what to think about all this

 


 

<3 @starcr0ssed

just heard gunshots IN the building. I can’t find it in myself to be surprised

 


 

<3 @starcr0ssed

okay it’s been a long time since I’ve NOT had a depressing work/archives update, but guess what - archives guy is AWAKE from his coma!!

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

well. actually some people were saying it wasn’t actually a coma? like, apparently he wasn’t breathing? but I’m not sure what else it could have been. either way, he’s awake!!

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

and already back at work for some reason. not even going to question that though

 


 

<3 @starcr0ssed

also not depressing archives update, that one archives person who I think works here who disappeared is back?? that’s all of them now!!

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

some of you are asking and no, I’m still not going to ask them what happened. nobody is dead or missing anymore, but they probably ended up traumatized in some way from whatever happened

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

remember, archives guy was in a coma for a long time (and has apparently been kidnapped a lot too??), and one of the assistants got super scarred when the other went missing. I’m not going to ask them to talk about any of that just for twitter

 


 

js @js460347

I’m still getting used to having less ribs. It’s far from the weirdest thing to have happened to me, but it’s still an odd sensation.

 

Ethannnn 👽️ @galactic4762

Omg you’re posting again! I’m glad you’re awake and okay!!

 

ryan evans @allthegoodusernamesweretaken

you’re just gonna ignore the ribs thing?? WHERE ARE HIS RIBS

 


 

js @js460347

I know he said he knows what he’s doing, and I trust him, but I miss him.

 


 

Cory @cannonball99

Using a side account to say this because my friends and family follow my main and they’ll think I’m crazy. But a few years ago I had this weird experience that to this day I’m pretty sure was supernatural.

 

Cory @cannonball99

Won’t go into it because I don’t want anybody nitpicking the details, but I was visiting the cemetery once and I swear to god I met real life zombies.

 

Cory @cannonball99

Anyway this is relevant because the other day I was just walking down the street when some guy stopped me and asked me about it? Like, I swear I’ve never met this guy before and like I said I’ve never told anybody irl about the zombie thing either, so there’s no way he could have known.

 

Cory @cannonball99

But he just walked up to me and asked me about it. And I told him. It was like I was hypnotized or something. And he didn’t blink even once, and we were standing there for like fifteen minutes.

 

Cory @cannonball99

Then when I’d said the whole story (still just standing in the middle of the sidewalk) he just blinked and said “thank you” and left.

 

Cory @cannonball99

To be perfectly honest it was actually a great relief to finally say this all out loud, so it wasn’t as bad as the zombie experience by far. Except that now whenever I dream about the zombies he’s in the dreams just staring at me. Every single time.

 

Cory @cannonball99

And irl he looked like just a normal guy but in the nightmares he’s just. Staring at me. And not just with his eyes, ALL of him is just STARING at me and he WON’T STOP STARING

 

Cory @cannonball99

Anyway.

 

Cory @cannonball99

I mean, not much I can do about it. Like I said I’ve never met the guy before then and I haven’t seen him since (except in the nightmares) so yeah. I don’t know what I’m supposed to do about it.

 

Cory @cannonball99

Probably just continue to keep it to myself to be honest. This isn’t any less crazy than the zombie story and I’m not interested in telling anybody about this when they will probably just think I’m crazy. And I can’t even blame them.

 

Cory @cannonball99

But if your’re reading this, I swear I’m not making any of this up. I mean, I have like two dozen followers and most of them are bots, why would I? But the supernatural is real and it’s out there and sometimes it’s zombies but apparently sometimes it’s also random people on the street who go on to haunt your dreams.

 


 

js @js460347

I’m so hungry now, all the time. I think I’m starting to get used to it though.

 

melanie king is my queen @ghosthuntukfannn

maybe visit a food bank? but also aren’t you the head of a department, I thought your paycheques would be pretty good??

 

js @js460347

That which I hunger for cannot be bought with money.

 

melanie king is my queen @ghosthuntukfannn

…okay then. I’m just going to assume that it would be useless to ask you to clarify what exactly that’s supposed to mean

 

melanie king is my queen @ghosthuntukfannn

but I guess that’s pretty in line with the rest of your posts tbh

 


 

Melanie King @GhostHuntUK

I’m sorry everyone about the lack of updates, I’ve had a lot going on and I wasn’t in the headspace to be posting.

 

Melanie King @GhostHuntUK

I might get back to making videos someday, but I can’t promise it.

 

ryan evans @allthegoodusernamesweretaken

yikes all this time and you give us such a short update???

 

melanie king is my queen @ghosthuntukfannn

@allthegoodusernamesweretaken have some compassion, I know you know how much chaos there’s been in her life lately

 


 

<3 @starcr0ssed

people have been asking for an archive update but tbh there’s not much to say? I mean, some of them are travelling again including archives guy, but I don’t know why or anything. sorry to disappoint :P 

 


 

js @js460347

I knew that stealing something from my kidnappers was going to create consequences someday, but I still don’t regret it.

 

lynn (they/them) @lynnlynnlynn

I’m kind of in awe about how all of your posts manage to be so vague but so ominous at the same time

 

stoking the flames @kayakking

oh believe me, hes somehow even worse in person

 

lynn (they/them) @lynnlynnlynn

btw is he okay??

 

Sasha @sashahhhhhhh

Yeah, we’re good!

 

stoking the flames @kayakking

I mean I wouldnt say *good*...

 

js @js460347

Compared to past experiences, things went comparatively quite well.

 

stoking the flames @kayakking

well, yeah, but theyll be back

 

js @js460347

…Yes, that is true. Still, we should take whatever positivity we can get, considering.

 

Ethannnn 👽️ @galactic4762

They just implied that the people that kidnapped him will be coming back, right? I’m not just imagining this?? I’m so worried for them






 

stoking the flames @kayakking

holy shit, is it actually all over??

 

js @js460347

…Yes, I think it actually is.

 

Melanie King @GhostHuntUK

I don’t think it will ever be over

 

js @js460347

You're not incorrect, but I think we can all still be greatly relieved that this particular plan was thwarted. If he had succeeded things would be much, much worse. However, I admit that we are still rather trapped, and I still understand if you still want to free yourself from your job fully. I know I almost made the same decision.

 

Melanie King @GhostHuntUK

…I’ll see. That depends on how much leverage you have over our boss. If I have to keep working here, literally never able to leave, I will have no other choice but to take the other way out. But… I’ll see.

 

js @js460347

I’ll talk with everyone tomorrow and see what I can do.

 


 

<3 @starcr0ssed

…so um. my old boss is back. yes, the sexist head of the company one. apparently he walked free of the murder charges too (although unlike with archives guy I’m not convinced he’s actually innocent, but whatever not like I can do anything about it)

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

(at least he got maintenance to tear down all of the soundproof cubicles the last boss put in. I missed my coworkers)

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

*everything* is kind of… different now, though. like, the boss isn’t really communicating with us at all, but the weirdest thing of all is that the archive staff seem like… kind of normal now?

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

WELL. okay. that isn’t true. the other day I saw archives guy in person (for payroll reasons) and I asked him a simple question right. and he just… started monologuing in this weird tone. then one of his assistants came into the room and loudly said his name and he seemed to snap out of it.

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

and no joke he did that twice within the span of five minutes?

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

but what I mean is I hadn’t even noticed that *everyone* in archives was all SO TENSE like ALL THE TIME? and they always kept to themselves. but now they all actually seem *happy* and, like… *free*? it’s hard to describe

 

<3 @starcr0ssed

I don’t know. but whatever, I’m happy for them. and hopefully things don’t go back to how they used to be, because this is starting to feel like just a normal job now and like, I know that means I’m probably not going to be social media famous anymore, but all I feel is relief

It seems the workplace saga of @starcr0ssed featuring none other than @GhostHuntUK has come to an end. For those who haven’t been following, this all started with a post by starcr0ssed in 2015 about a sexist boss… 1/?

We still don’t really know where any of this took place, although many theories have been placed. But that’s besides the point. 15/?

Although this has been an absolutely wild ride, it seems that things have fully calmed down. In Melanie King’s recent video after her return to YouTube, she briefly alluded to the entire saga, and said her and her ex-coworkers 16/?

have figured things out and are now “free”, although she has not elaborated on what exactly that means. Posts by her old coworkers are also as vague as always, but similarly positive and hopeful. 17/?

Whatever happened, I think it’s safe to say that even though it has been entertaining, we are all still very glad it’s over :) 18/18

Notes:

okay that's all :) like I said in the tags how they actually stop the apocalypse is quite vague, so believe what you want! (I have a few ideas although I haven't actually committed to any of them since it's not like they'd post about the specifics on social media anyways - but maybe they decide to kidnap Jonah's original body for leverage, or there's a time travel thing and Jon travels back from the apocalypse to tell Elias that he failed, or they rigged the panopticon to explode, or something else I've forgotten or didn't even think of!)

also this was just a short little fic I whipped together extremely quickly, but I am also currently 14k words into writing a Jon-time-travels-from-the-apocalypse-into-his-8-year-old-body fic, so this definitely isn't the last this fandom will be seeing of me!!! :)))

Notes:

special thanks to the subreddit for helping me brainstorm social media handles for everyone!!
