Martin K Blackwood takes care. He takes great care of the way people take their tea, the adjectives it would make them happiest to be called, the expression that requires someone to swoop in and change the subject. Something in his body wasn't made for caring. But it was hard wired like that, as if someone has reached their hand into his flesh and poked about, coming away bloody and dizzy. So it takes effort to take care. Effort that he is more than willing to put in. Maybe it will save him. Maybe it'll become less of something that takes and more of something that gives. He should feel careful, but his hands shake while he pours tea.

Inter-Office Friendship
I wanted a TMA x Torchwood crossover where Ianto and Martin are friends!
Martin zipped his jacket up against the chill of the air and slumped into the park bench, clutching his to go coffee tighter. Scanning the crowd his eyes fell on a familar face and he grinned, standing.
“Ianto!” He called, waving.
His childhood best friend raised a brow but Martin could see the pleased smirk as he approached. Martin held his arms out in a offer of a hug, and Ianto stepped in, wrapping his arms around him as well.
“It’s good to see you,” the shorter man hummed.
Martin chuckled “You too! How’ve you been? It’s been like a year and a half. You’re looking awfully Posh there. What happened to the studded belts and pirceings?” He teased
Ianto shrugged and stuffed his hands into his pockets. “Nothing, just needed a change. And it’s professional. I got another job at the Cardiff Office.”
Martin raised a brow, he didn’t know Torchwood had other offices, but as far as he knew Ianto thought he was ignorant to his job. He knew Ianto was aware that he worked at the Institute, maybe it was time to come clean.
“So where were you for 2 weeks? I tried to get ahold of you.” Ianto demanded. “Usually you don’t take that long to respond.”
Martin bit his lip and sighed. “It’s a long story. Look, I know you know where I work, and we all heard rumors about Torchwood too. Let’s not talk about work. How’s Rhiannon and the kids?” He forced a grin, pushing back the memory of knocking and the taste of canned peaches.
They spent the next hour chatting and catching up as much as they could. Apparently Ianto was doing well moving back to Cardiff and was even in a sort of relationship with his boss. Martin’s new crush on Jon twinged at that but he didn’t have time to unpack all that.
Once their coffee was done, they stood and made their way out of the park. As they parted ways, Martin gave one last hug and smiled. “Listen, if you ever come across something not Torchwood related, you know where to find me. My new boss Jon can be rough but he’ll listen, I promise.”
Ianto nodded. “Same here. Stay safe, if you need me just call.”
Martin nodded, and they split up, Ianto to the train station and Martin back to the Institute. A few hours outside will hopefully help with being back inside for the next few days.

basira: I know it’s the panopticon I’ve done the reading, martin (who’s been at the institute for like a decade): where is this Peter
Listen...! Martin K Blackwood doesn’t need to read books about eldritch architecture, or learn about his horrifying workplace, or even know where exactly he is at any given moment. He navigates through life by sheer force of Putting Up With Things, with a side of tender gay pining, and it’s served him just fine so far, thank you! Other than getting him tossed into the Lonely for maybe all eternity, that is.
(To be serious, though, this ties in with my ongoing belief that Martin’s understanding of the fears is mostly intuitive. His Beholding tendencies, on the other hand, lean towards observing and parsing people (which makes him good at manipulation) in contrast to Basira’s drive to gather info and reason through things and take action. The Eye manifests very differently in both of them.)

good evening to people who need constant distraction from reality and their own thoughts so they consume unhealthy amounts of media and get overly attached to the characters and start projecting onto them ❤️

TMA : 166 Thoughts
1) I was expecting corruption from the title but buried works too! This one was really sad to me, and creepy near the end. Using the metaphor of feeling trapped or stuck in your life to being surrounded by earth is a good one! Very interesting!
2) Martin!! What?!! He's not even hesitating to be on the Kill Bill train!
Also no you were doing so well not answering the creepy phones! Ugh at least we get Anabelle! Is he going to keep that from Jon I wonder?
"Does he even need you anymore?"
"Bye!"
Ouch
3) Ugh poor Jon having to relive the buried again. I'm getting really worried
4) I love Helen!! I feel like she's just going to start talking solo with Martin and ignoring Jon lol

TMA 5x03 Thoughts
1) I love this new statement format!! It just flows from person to person, warping everything. Very interesting
2) The background sounds were great! Although were they near water at the end or was it gravel? How's the recorder following them if they're walking? Sneaking into a pocket or bag?
3) "That's not what I'm here for. I can't be that for you" boundaries!! We love to see it!
4) "Martin I hate your tea and wish you made coffee instead!"
5) "Is that for me? Yeah it's for me." And ignoring it! That's how we survive babes!
All in all a super good episode. I like how we're getting more into the new landscape and the tower always being visible.

TMA: 172 Thoughts
Web episode already?!! And once again not something I would have expected of it. But then again linking it to addiction does make sense. I don’t know why but it never clicked for me that if the Web did send his lighter that was also a way of getting him back to smoking and a addiction he’d kicked
Jon’s voice acting in this was A++ I haven’t really been creeped out by his voice or the visuals in a few episodes and the way he delivered the lines of everyone was great!
Ugh poor Jon must be traumatized from all that, I wonder if he still feels personally averse to the Web or if it’s mixed in with all the other fears he’s feeling?
Ok but the Spider called him out! Interesting
Martin bringing him out of it again. I understand why he doesn’t want to to Know anything about him, I don’t disagree but I wonder what he saw, if it was different for him

@agnesmontague wanted jonmartin Valentine's Day stuff!! I hope you like it! Honestly... I couldn't resist a bit of canon angst though so be warned.
Jon shook off the cold as he entered the Institute, pulling off his soaked coat from the rain. As he made his way to the Archives, he started to realize a large amount of pink and red decorative hearts and such around the place.
Frowning, he realized what month it'd just turned. Ah, February, he thought. Great.
While he wasn't adverse to Valentine's itself, the commercialization of it irked him. He also didn't appreciate having to defend his relationship status or dating habits to the public, who all seemed to either pity him or assume he was some type of love Scrooge.
Well, at least the Archives should be relatively free of decoration. Though he won't put it past Tim or Sasha to do something on the week of the holiday.
He was proved correct when he entered the office to see Sasha decorating the assistants desks. When she asked if he wanted his desk done as well, he shook his head and she shrugged.
"I'm bringing us all presents next week so suck it up for that at least," she called at his back, making him humm and wave dismissively at her, closing the door on her and Tim's chatter.
.....
Jon mostly managed to ignore the upcoming holiday and the days passed fairly easily until the day itself came. He was actually surprised by a call from Georgie. He'd contacted her for the first time in months over some information for a case and while he knew nothing romantic was coming from it, it was very nice to hear from her again.
As he entered the Archives, he found it empty except for Martin. He was shuffling through the files and looked up as he entered. "Morning!"
"Morning. Where are Tim and Sasha?"
Martin shrugged. "Break room I think? They left some candy and cards on your desk! We all got some," he held up a box of chocolates with a shrug.
"Thanks. I'll expect the results of the research into the Vittery case by the end of the day."
Martin nodded and Jon set in to work for the day. Thankfully all of the statements today recorded fine electronically. Jon couldn't help but feel relived as the Carlos Vittery case and left him quite shaken, even if he had tried to dismiss it on the record.
That was why when Martin came back to him with apparently nothing concrete, he was, well, less than understanding. With all that had happened, he had completely forgotten the little stack of cards and candy on the corner of his desk until he was getting ready to leave as the sun set that day.
Sasha had left a similar box of chocolates for everyone and a quite adorable card with a cartoon Kracken on it, making him smirk a bit. Tim had given him a card that claimed "You had me at impeccable spelling and correct use of grammar " with the note that
This is what I thought you'd give us, made me think of you. Have a good one, Boss ;)
Jon snorted to himself, shaking his head. They had all really been quite relaxed over the holiday, not pestering him about his plans, nor expecting him to join in. It did make him feel like a bit of an ass for not reciprocating for them.
The feeling only increased when he saw a black cat plushy sitting behind them with a little note with his name in Martin's familiar handwriting. Frowning, he remembered the conversation he'd been drawn into while the assistants had been discussing family pets over lunch. Martin had never had any but Sasha and Tim had both had dogs. When Tim had asked if Jon was a cat person he'd agreed, telling them about the Admeral but leaving out the fact that he was with Georgie now. He'd been her gift for Christmas when they first moved in together.
Brushing a had over the soft plush he sighed. Well damn.
.......
He got more candy and some small trinkets for Sahas and Tim and didn't think much more of it, but It took him nearly a week to find a suitable present for Martin. He'd seen the post it's with sprawled poetry over his desk and thought that was a good bet, but he'd had no clue of where Martin's taste ran for authors. Keats seemed like a good place to start even if it wasn't Jon's favorite.
He'd tucked the book into his jacket that morning, and set it on his desk, waiting for Martin to show up. He hadn't by lunch and Jon was starting to get worried when his phone buzzed with a text.
Martin: won't be coming in, my stomach is all squirming
Jon frowned and set his phone back down. Well there went that plan. He supposed it could wait until Martin felt better. His thoughts were interrupted by Sasha barging in with another statement and he went on with his day.

Nope, can't do TMA today. I'll try tomorrow or this weekend. My anxiety was already bad when I woke up and watched the news. I've been watching Nightmare on Elm street too so I think I'm going to take a break from horror for a few days

So I was thinking of Torchwood and Magnus Archives crossovers and I came up with 2 possible ideas:
1) Martin and Jon run into the Torchwood Team while trying to get to London during the apocalypse
2) Ianto finds his cousin Martin to take them in during the Children of Earth arch and Jon ends up going with Jack to confront the 456 instead of Ianto. His powers lets both jack and him live
