    Summary

    The Lonely had taken a lot from Martin, and one thing he'd accepted as simply gone was his reflection.

    It wasn't a great loss, honestly - he could do without seeing the way he'd just looked more and more tired, more hopeless as time went on. There was nothing good about being able to see himself.
    So when it went, he didn't bother himself with it.

    Months later, brushing his teeth, getting ready for bed in the safehouse with Jon, he saw himself again.
    Or what should have been him.

    Summary

    After escaping the Lonely, Jon and Martin briefly stop at their flats to gather what little supplies they intend to take with them to Daisy's safehouse.

    As he's gathering his things, Martin finds his phone, abandoned months ago in his flat.
    Charged, with the screen blinking to life, it begins to chime with notifications:
    73 missed voicemails from 'Jon :)'

    Summary

    “I mean…” Jon started, low, with his eyes scanning over the various odds and ends, not landing on anything particular. That was, until they snapped up to Martin’s face, a little too open, a little too soft - crinkled at the edges, with the ghost of a wry smile. “Nothing says we can’t make the hunt house cozy. I think it might help, actually.”
    He bit down the instinctive laugh that tried to bubble up at that, and...at the sudden realization of just how *absurd* this all was.
    Jon agreeing to decorate their new house together, temporary as it may have been. Them being alive together, at all. Just getting to discuss knicknacks and curiosities, mulling over it like it was domestic and normal, and - and -

    And he thought he’d be dead, by the end of last night. Had practically *planned* on it.

    …And now he was looking at themed mugs with Jon, in a little shop in the depths of rural Scotland.

     Funny how that worked.

    Summary

    Martin is bad at asking for things.
    That, unsurprisingly, includes asking to be touched.
    It's not with any ulterior motive, not with any further intent, but...just to prove that he's alive. Just to prove he's still there. Hell, just for the sake of it. He needs it, more than anything, but...he can't ask for it.
    He just can't.

    Things hurt a lot, in the safehouse. But they also get...just a little bit better.

    Summary

    (title from Vincent by don McLean)

    Martin was changing. He got a haircut, which was unprecedented. Jon hadn't seen it so short since they met. It was flattering, though, the shaved sides made his earrings stand out so much more. Still, there was something very un-Martin about it. He swam in his recently worn jumpers. It looked as if he'd just bought more, and in a size up. But the real nail in the coffin game when Jon saw Martin without his glasses.

    The red rimmed specs were a significant feature of Martin, and now they were gone. Jon really shouldn't have gotten worked up over it, but how could he not? Martin was stable, he was unchanging. He brought him tea every day and looked the same week by week. Without the glasses, Jon felt as if everything was going downhill from there.

    OR

    Martin gets bullied by those in the research department. Jonny boy takes notice, grapples with WHY he takes notice, and saves the day
