No you guys don't understand. I may have ranted about this fic before but I'm fucking doing it again. Knowledge is Power (But Love Won't Hurt) by SupposedToBeWriting has fixed me. Trauma? Gone. I'm gonna call my therapist and tell them no need for any more sessions because I've found the answer. And that answer is Jonathan "single father to autistic little girl" Sims. Yeah you heard me right. Get ready for a 31 chapter, 156K words slow burn wherein Martin Kartin Blackwood dresses like the straightest gay man at the family barbecue, Finding Nemo is a really emotional plot point and Gerry Keay and Martin bond over Mommy Issues. Get your "Jon Is The Most Stressed Man Ever" fix here. It's got everything that tma is too cowardly to do - healthy communication, trans Jon and Martin and aroace Gerry. Please go read it, I promise it will change your fucking life.
Absolutely! I'm so excited for you to see what I have in the fic!
The only things my story concept would keep would be the idea of an immortal, regenerative person being exploited over generations. It would be taking place in a different country, with different characters, different cultures, different symbolism and themes, and so on. I wouldn't reuse any of your dialogue, setting, or situations.
(I even invented different injuries because I wanted to go grosser than I did in "Seven Days", lol.)
I hope this eases any concerns you have about the direction I wanted to go. If you have any other questions or concerns, please let me know! The premise of Jon as a magical being inspired me so much and the last thing I want to do would be to detract anything from a writer like yourself.
Writing based on the Magic Shop has been a wonderful exercise and I look forward to finishing my fic. One of the commenters inspired me to novelize the story, set in an original context unconnected to TMA. I have some story notes and outlines already done, though no solid plans. If I were to pursue that, what kind of credit would you want?
I appreciate you asking, but I don't really feel comfortable with you turning something based on my work into an original piece. Fanfiction is one thing because we're all playing in the same space and you can link directly back to my story hosted on the same website, but when it's original fiction it becomes disconnected from my work and owned by you. Especially considering around half of your story so far is a retelling of mine, it crosses a line for me that my work and plotline would be used for your original work.
I have really loved getting to read your fanfic, and I think you have a lot of super creative original ideas in there. If you wanted to write an original piece following the backstory of Jon you came up with, for example, that would be super cool and not lifted from anything I've written. But I'd appreciate it if you'd leave out anything including the plot of the Magic Shop, and that specific world I've written.
Additionally, I've considered turning my own story into an original piece someday, and if you did publish your own I'd lose the ability to take claim of my own story.
I hope you understand and I can't wait to read the rest of your story!!!!

Having some issues getting it to post, but here 'tis!
Seven Days (4852 words) by WritAsAFiddle Chapters: 1/7 Fandom: The Magnus Archives (Podcast) Rating: Mature Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence Relationships: Martin Blackwood/Jonathan "Jon" Sims | The Archivist Characters: Martin Blackwood, Jonathan "Jon" Sims | The Archivist, Angela (The Magnus Archives), Extremely Minor OC Additional Tags: Hurt/Comfort, Angst with a Happy Ending, Mutilation, Dehumanization, Objectification, Tooth Trauma, Human Captivity, Implied/Referenced Child Abuse, Graphic Depictions of Illness, Vomiting, Malnutrition, Hurt Jonathan "Jon" Sims | The Archivist, Caretaking, Starvation, Torture, Whump, Not Beta Read, Not Britpicked, Alternate Universe - Urban Fantasy, Jonathan "Jon" Sims | The Archivist Whump, queerplatonic jonmartin, Sick Jonathan āJonā Sims | The Archivist, Touch-Averse Jonathan āJonā Sims | The Archivist, Touch-Starved Jonathan āJonā Sims | The Archivist, Trans Martin Blackwood, but blink and youāll miss it, alternating pov, Attempted self harm, Bathing / Washing, Blood, Graphic depictions of violence - Freeform, Injury, not exactly disabled character but strongly disability coded, wound care Summary: I'm writing gratuitous whump because I wanted "The Magic Shop" by WhyNotFly to contain more content. Read their fic for this to make sense. The Archivist is a millennia-old magic being who is also having a bad time. Martin is a 22-year-old office worker who is doing his best.
I got obsessed with "The Magic Shop" and I'm working on a fic inspired by it! Could I ask a couple of questions about the last chapter? First, did you have something in mind that Jon/Kit whispers in Angela's ear? Second, does the line "He... turned back into the room, rushing back up to Martinās side and pushing the book into the center of HIS chest" mean Jon's or Martin's chest? PS, congratulations on making the fic stream!
Oh my gosh Iām so glad you liked it!!! And ahhh the fic stream š I was overjoyed to hear them read not one but TWO of my story fragments, and yet my soul will never recover from hearing Jonny and Alex spend five full minutes calling me horny over and over again
Assigned as the horniest in the fandom by the fuckin writers. Iāll never live it down š
But yes! Your questions! I did not have an official idea in mind of what Jon whispered into Angelaās ear. That last chapter and final scene especially underwent a lot of heavy edits because I was having a hard time making whatever Jon did to Angela have the impact I wanted. In the end, the decision to have him whisper in her ear inaudibly was a lil bit of a work around. Came out cool and badass without me needing to figure out what that would look like š BUT what I generally imagine him saying and what I was TRYING to make work in the scene is something like:
āThe world may deserve magic, but you deserve *nothing*.ā
Second question is easier to answer! The intention was he pushes it into Martinās chest, like a child demanding a bedtime story š
I hope this helps!!! Iām SO excited that youāre inspired enough by the story to write something. I love this universe and I had some tentative plans to write spin-offs myself but I never figured out what story Iād want to tell, so Iām so so glad that someone else will help it live on.
Please link it to the original story and send it to me on here so I can read it when itās done!!!
Because FXS bitches are starved of representation.
(Very short & basic information: Fragile X syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by mild-to-moderate intellectual disability. About a third of those affected have features of autism such as problems with social interactions and delayed speech. Hyperactivity is common, and seizures occur in about 10%. Males are usually more affected than females.
Speech may be cluttered or nervous. Behavioral characteristics may include stereotypic movements (e.g., hand-flapping) and atypical social development, particularly shyness, limited eye contact, memory problems, and difficulty with face encoding.)

Love that tma is so traumatic constantly that we all gloss over the fact that Jon was kidnapped and forcibly moisturized while tied to a chair for a month.
Every time I think too hard about it it actually freaks me out. And Jon never talks about it again which also freaks me out
May I also add:
Jon hasn't internalized he can trust Martin because of season 2 behavior, delirium, flashbacks, amnesia, etc. and he has to learn to trust the gut feeling telling him that Martin is safe
