    Summary

    It is 1934, and the Magnus Institute has not YET been infested with worms, though Mr. Blackwood surely has rambled on about them plenty to the Archivist’s horror. Jonathan Sims reads a statement about one Arthur Lester that feels far too much like a man reaching into a different sort of wasp’s nest, (or like one is reaching into HIM) though, and curiosity truly is an awful sort of thing. He’s always been quite a moth to a flame, hasn’t he?

    Or; AU in which Arthur and John are part of the TMA universe but everyone is in 1934 and things get Insectoid.

    (Title is from Let Down by Radiohead. Yes. I know. I know...)

    Summary

    Tim offers to play the part of Jon's boyfriend to rescue him from an uncomfortable situation at a work event - obviously, Jon declines. Thanks, but no thanks, he'd rather not.

    This, of course, has nothing to do with any flaw or failure on Tim's part. To the contrary, it’s easy to imagine spending more time with him in a private capacity, doing whatever people their age do for dates. It’s been a while. If Jon is honest with himself, maybe it’s been never. Even Georgie, who was probably the closest he’d ever gotten to a normal relationship, had taken him in as a scraggly stray, much like the Admiral, more than they’d ever dated in any traditional sense. At least the Admiral eventually got the hang of affection.

    So, no, Jon doesn’t expect Tim’s proposition to come up again. Therefore, naturally, it does exactly that.

    OR

    Five times Tim and Jon weren't dating, and one time they were, in a sense, if the distinction even matters.
