I've finished all the episodes of the Magnus Archive so am now avidly going through all the fic I avoided for fear of spoilers, so I might be a bit mono-focused for a bit #sorrynotsorry

The Tagalong (44812 words) by Lenny9987
Chapters: 25/25
Fandom: Outlander Series - Diana Gabaldon
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Claire Fraser & Fergus Fraser, Fergus Fraser & Roger Wakefield
Characters: Fergus Fraser, Old Alec - Character, Jamie Fraser, Claire Fraser, Frank Randall, Reverend Wakefield, Roger Wakefield, Mrs. Graham - Character
Additional Tags: Fergus through the stones, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence
Series: Part 5 of Lenny's Imagine Claire and Jamie Prompts
Summary: Prompt: What if Fergus had gone through the Stones after Culloden accidentally or on purpose and found Claire and Bree?

This is an interesting what if. It won't make a lot of sense if you haven't read the first two Outlander books/seen the first two seasons. Feel like it does a good job of capturing Claire's personality.


november, in this house of leaves (11787 words) by Mad_Maudlin
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: The Magnus Archives (Podcast)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence
Characters: Martin Blackwood, Basira Hussain, Melanie King
Additional Tags: Original Character(s), domestic abuse, Stalking, Bad Parenting, Canon-Typical Violence, Canon-Typical spiders, the expected level of slaughter-related intrusive thoughts, martin blackwood is having a bad time, basira crits her deception roll, archival assistants being badass, Peter Lukas being a creepo, but what else is new, Torture, Kidnapping, lug wrenches, Abusive Parents
Summary: Martin nodded quietly. “No. I mean, no, I don’t want him around.” He looked down at his hands again and started picking at the too-short sleeve of his jumper. “He hasn’t been part of my life for twenty years and I’d prefer to keep it that way.”

Spoilers for up to Episode 120, acts almost as a missing scene as doesn't contradict anything canon. Interesting interplay between the entities.

bad time for love (you caught me) (23122 words) by PresAlex
Chapters: 7/7
Fandom: The Magnus Archives (Podcast)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Georgie Barker & Martin Blackwood, Martin Blackwood & Jonathan Sims, Georgie Barker & Jonathan Sims
Characters: Martin Blackwood, Georgie Barker, Jonathan Sims, Elias Bouchard, Melanie King, Tim Stoker (The Magnus Archives), Basira Hussain, the Admiral
Additional Tags: the love in this is all platonic bc im ace and valid, Fluff, Hurt/Comfort, Friendship, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Unrequited Crush, Miscommunication, Canon Asexual Character, AroAce Jon, Martin needs a hug and a reality check, supernatural sickfic sort of, Season 3 rewrite, Implied/Referenced Abuse, Platonic Love, Platonic Cuddling.
Summary:Season 3 if Martin, Georgie, and Jon were all friends and good things happened sometimes.

As the blurb says. The bad things still happen, but its tempered. I really really love the relationship between the three of them.

Hope you enjoy! The whole collection is pretty good, with some interesting what ifs. There's another one that looks at if Frank had come through 6 weeks after Claire and run into Black Jack.
