    Summary

    The thing is, Jonathan Sims is someone you’d call the police on if you saw him hanging around a school, those frazzled clothes and bags under his eyes, the frantic muttering and thousand-year stare.
    Yet there he sits, headteacher of The Magnus Institute for Gifted Young Minds.
    The name’s a bit misleading, it is. They’re in a bad part of town. The parents are either terrible or absent, and the kids—
    “They’re monsters,” his new and handsome coworker grins, when Martin’s signature on his contract is barely dry. “Absolute monsters. Get too close and you’ll lose some fingers. Or maybe your mind.”
    “They’re babies,” is all Martin can feebly manage, in reply, and Tim’s eyes narrow at the fondness in his voice.
    “You’ll learn.”

    Summary

    In a land where magic and horrifying creatures take great joy in terrorizing the ordinary folks, Martin's life has been, in plain comparison, very dull.

    But maybe it's for the best. God knows there are horrible things out there.

    Or; Martin wishes for something he can't fathom and gets a lot more than he expected.

    Or; A Howl's Moving Castle AU/Fusion

    Summary

    Jon hunts vampires. Martin is a vampire. Really, there's no way this is going to work out, and the fact that neither of them know the other's...night job...certainly isn't going to help.

    Martin's a soft man with a secret, Jon's a hard man with a secret. He's hunting down the vampires and werewolves of London. It's a dangerous job, but Jon's a cold one. Let's just hope he doesn't get cracked open.

    Summary

    Jon is lying to himself- he's lonely, as much as he'd never want to admit it.

    When Elias tells Jon and the others that they're requested at an archival conference in New York, he doesn't exactly jump at the thought. But he'll be paid extra and compensated for the flight and hotel, so he sees no reason not to go. Once in New York, the proclaimed city of dreams, Jon discovers feelings that he didn't know he had.

    Maybe in the city that doesn't sleep, he can find his own dream.

    Summary

    If anyone asked the very unfortunate Baudelaire children if they liked their siblings, their response would either be “which one?” or “depends on the day”, depending on whether one of them had recently been pranked. The six siblings had to spend a lot of time together; while most of them had friends, they didn’t spend a lot of time outside their home, so they had to learn to get along. If they didn’t, the oldest four might’ve ripped each other apart before Solitude could even exist.

    But, well, they were siblings. These kinds of things happened to several children who were forced to spend the first two decades of their lives cooped up together. They could fight, they could make up, they could forget why they were arguing and start laughing over the same joke. And, of course, most of their antics were all connected by the phrase “Don’t tell Mother and Father.”

    But one day, on Briny Beach, the six Baudelaire children received distressing news that would change the course of their lives forever... not that it would affect their sibling bickering.

    Six Baudelaires AU, Part One of Three. Includes The Bad Beginning, The Reptile Room, The Wide Window and The Miserable Mill.
