Archivist Sasha AU but that's not even the point because one of her assistants is the strangest, spookiest little man she's met in her waning life. No one knows why Jon is working in the archives nor why he seems to know so much about the horrors haunting them, all they know is that Jon is looking for something, though he never says what. He wanders the aisles rifling through boxes for whatever it is. Sometimes he will find a statement he decides to keep. Once Martin caught Jon reading those statements and crying, but he wouldn't say why.
The mystery continues until Sasha ends up in America and finds Gerard Key’s page. She doesn't know how Jon came up, but as soon as he hears his name, Gerry does a 180. Suddenly, rather than wanting Sasha to burn his page right away, he wants her to bring it back to the archives; all he says is, “he needs to know it's over.” Jon cries when Sasha hands him Gerry’s page. Finally, he gives her his statement, the statement of Johnathan Sims regarding his late husband, Gerard Sims, and the years of searching that followed his death and dismemberment. Finally, he can bury him, and finally, Gerry can be laid to rest.
