The thing is, relationships are entirely context-dependent. As Magnus canon stands, John and Gerry see each other and go ‘same [being manipulated by an authority figure into gaining supernatural abilities and losing too much of your humanity to ever go back by the time you figure it out]’ and enjoy the bonds of their friendship for the 20 minutes it lasts. Also as it stands, John and Martin spend a few months as coworkers and spent 11 months watching and orbiting each other as they spend all their time at the archives trying to help each other in the ways that they can. But, I’m just saying that if John had met Gerry first, things might have gone differently

The DVD now played a commercial for a vintage food processor. The presenters' voices were swallowed up by its whirr. Even as she leaned against him, John still felt cold. Hollowed eyes stared at the Donner Party, taxidermy, books on the coffee table. “It felt okay.” He murmured. “For a moment. It felt okay. And then Martin. Something about Martin...” The skeptic's mind churned. “I-I don't even remember what he said. But I looked at him and I was afraid again.” Sasha nodded. “Am I...” John began, voice little more than a rasp. “Am I beyond help?” His hands didn't take to her hair, nor her side. He only looked motionlessly ahead, like some answer would be found in the static. The processor was turning something cherry into mush. “Things have been difficult.” Sasha said. “They know you don't mean harm.” Through the fuzz, tall glasses were poured, color of the red slop dulled by the video's age. The machine chugged off into silence, leaving the commercial's hosts to inaudibly chat. It sounded like someone trying to communicate from behind a layer of packed dirt. “I don't want to die.” John said. Noncommittally, Sasha hummed. Usually, his breathing was heavy, quick and stark with fear. Now, it was more like he wasn't breathing at all. What was she to say? It's alright? No, she wouldn't lie. Even Sasha James wouldn't lie. So she said nothing at all, head leaning against his shoulder in a meager, half-hearted comfort. Stark-still, he didn't move for a few seconds more, transfixed by the static. What looked like the blending of different fruit purees. Maybe if he watched it closely enough, the fear would begin to melt away. But it never did. It only hardened, sun-baked in the glow of the TV screen.

They didn't chatter like they used to. The Sasha who laughed out loud at the off-looking poses of the statues, bringing dark red flushes of embarrassment to her boyfriend — who was here for the art, thank you very much — was gone. She looked almost wrong in Sasha's clothes, the colorfully-patterned scarves and sweaters with cats and ghosts on them the weather began to net, that didn't suit a voice as dull and gaze as dim as hers. But she kissed him there all the same, in glossy, false skin, unmoving eyes, as perfect a simulacrum of the human form as ones trained in the art of it could muster. You're doing the right thing. —— The Not-Sasha learns her victim had a boyfriend.

“Sasha.” He murmurs into her mouth. “Yes.” She confirms. It’s me — I know — Me too — You’re welcome — like a cold reader. The kind of con he would have laughed out of the Institute. But his head’s worn down, his heart even moreso. He’s tired of thinking. —— John has one assistant he still trusts.

woe, spooky little john(not!)sasha thing i wrote be upon ye

[bandtrees]

Winter was fleeting — but the air outside was still chilly, what he could make out of the windows pallid, dull blues. It hit John with some irony that he'd taken that axe to her the day after Valentine's Day. Had he thought about that? Had there been a moment, passing the restaurants decorated with roses, where he remembered her — remembered what he had to do? Again, the larvae squirmed. —— John couldn't forget her if he tried.

sequel to my last john/not!sasha fic! now with john's pov, and a million times more self-hatred in the wake of realizing you were in love with a doppelganger of your coworker. and georgie's also here!
