    Summary

    "...The air was filled with phantoms... Every one of them wore chains like Marley’s Ghost; some few (they might be guilty governments) were linked together; none were free... The misery with them all was, clearly, that they sought to interfere, for good, in human matters, and had lost the power forever..."

    "'I just want people to listen to me! for once! To pay attention to me! But I’ll tell you this since you apparently know so much about me- if I want my life to be perfect- for me and-and… If I want my life to be like some- some… sappy holiday movie, then I am perfectly capable of doing that myself!'"


    Martin Blackwood has been a part-time circulation assistant at the Magnus South Library in London for only a few months when the holiday season begins. He's never had the Christmas he dreams of having and is still struggling to make a connection with Jon Sims, his circulation supervisor and the object of his first real crush, when his fate crosses with Jurgen Leitner, an energy vampire eager to curse him and feed off his loneliness. Jurgen's curse grants him magic power, but can he learn to control it before it consumes his and Jon's life?

    Summary

    "You can't be serious." Jonathan Sims raises his eyes at last to properly look at Georgie, expecting her to laugh and make some quip about finally getting him to put the damn book down, at least.

    "Well, I am," she shoots back.

    He sets his book aside and turns fully towards her, betrayal clear on his face. "A blind date, really?"

    Jon makes the frankly terrible decision to go on a blind date with one Martin Blackwood. Fate ensues. AU where Jon and Georgie are still friends, Georgie likes finding dates for her friends, Martin doesn't work at the institute, and everyone is just a bit happier while canon spooky stuff goes on in the background. Takes place juuust barely pre-canon in the beginning but catches up quickly. Inspired as usual by the wonderful conversations with my friend RavenXavier/somuchbetterthanthat.

    Summary

    “I have to ask you something,” Martin says, hoping his voice isn’t shaking as much as it feels like it is.

    Jon frowns, wraps his other hand around the one he’s already holding. “It’s… Is everyth-”

    “Do you want to go on a date with me?”

    (or, they had an appointment on the calendar and both intend to keep it)
