(Marinette's spell goes wildly off-target, but it's a stroke of luck for everyone involved that it does).

I come bearing more Magnus Archives recommendations!
we'll save each other (over and over) (1059 words) by mabi_lune
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: The Magnus Archives (Podcast)
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Martin Blackwood/Jonathan Sims
Characters: Jonathan Sims, Martin Blackwood, Elias Bouchard, Sasha James, Tim Stoker (The Magnus Archives)
Additional Tags: character study-ish??, Everyone is precious and cute and sad, canon asexual jon, Jon tries his best to help, and succeeds at being awkward
Summary:They both think that they should be better at this whole rescuing business by now. After all, this isn’t the first time they’ve been each other’s savior.
Spoilers for end of season 4, but this is short and quiet. I struggle with jonmartin as it doesn't make a lot of sense to me, but in a few short sentences this addes a wealth of backstory that helps it make sense and it's lovely.

Going Viral (3876 words) by Dissatisfied_With_The_Ending
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: The Magnus Archives (Podcast)
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Jonathan Sims, The Hive (The Magnus Archives), Original CharactersSummary:

Based on an idea from a fellow Redditor on the Magnus Archives subreddit. Featuring the Corruption making the leap into the 21st century.Reddit post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheMagnusArchives/comments/e7acmo/cyber_corruption/

This is an orginal statement, that is creepy but successfully updates the Corruption. It captures some of the same beats of the earlier statements and is a good standalone.

Siege Sleepover (5034 words) by Trefoil_9
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: The Magnus Archives (Podcast)
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Martin Blackwood & Jonathan Sims
Characters: Martin Blackwood, Jonathan Sims, Sasha James, Tim Stoker (The Magnus Archives), Elias Bouchard
Additional Tags: pre-Jonmartin?, Jon and Martin have a sleepover!! WITH WORMS TERROR ANGST AND COSMIC HORROR! yaaaaaaaaaaaay, Tim Sasha and Elias are there briefly at the end, Fluff, but like in a horror setting. but still fluff, Worms, Jane Prentiss is mentioned, Anxiety, Elias sees property damage and loses his mind, Humor
Summary:Jon falls asleep at his desk, which isn't unusual; but this is the first time it's happened since Jane Prentiss staked out the Institute. Staying overnight in the empty Archives with a hostile worm queen outside gives him a new perspective on Martin's experiences and forces him to address some biases.
Some of the writing is a little bit clunky but this is a nice "missing scene from towards the end of s1 which fleshes out Jon and Martin's relationship more.

Ooh, these look interesting!
