I absolutely can! Here you go! Thank you so much for the request, and for your kind words! They're really appreciated! Happy pride, have a great day! ♡

We have this mysterious goth dude with a tragic backstory who just wants to fucking die...

Never thought of romance or anything really because he was too busy chasing down books with his adoptive mother.

He gives off such great vibes, his whole life is fueled by the hatred for Jürgen Leitner, and if your life is fueled by hatred and not some sappy romance like some certain archivist, then how am I now going to headcanon him as aroace?

I have this idea in my head that aro buddies Gerry and Sasha (as ghosts) would keep making fun of Jon for being a romantic little shit, like:

G: Have you seen what he's done today

S: What?

G: He unconsciously held Martin's hand for almost four seconds

S: My god he's a mess

G: He was so close to greatness, but of course he had to be allo

S: Gerry, there can never be more than one functioning being in the archives at a time

G: God you're right... is that why we died? Because another function aro was coming to the archives?

S: Then who the one that came after me?

Don't usually write fanfiction, but I had an idea, so here it is. So yeah also like no beta we die like avatars.

Pairing: timothy stocker/sasha james (QPR)

Characters: timothy stocker, sasha james

Warnings: character death, written in first person (apparently people hate this type of pov)

“Wanna go out for drinks?” Sasha asks me.

“Yeah, of course. I do need something to get the feeling of Jon judging our every move off of me.” she laughs. Lately he’s been a little... hard on us, I need a break from that weird stare of his.

We head out of the institute and flipping off in it's general direction. It’s not that I hate my job, it's just more than I signed up for.

We take a table at the far end of the pub and start small talking, put some archives gossip here and there, the usual “tim and sasha” talk.

It had just gone dark out when Sasha leand closer and asked me if I could keep a secret.

“Totally” I yelled excited.

“Yeah no if you keep shouting like that I don’t think you’ll be any good at keeping your mouth shut.”

Two times that John sees Sasha's aro ring, and one time he doesn't.

I wrote this for Koschei_B for the Winter 2024 A-Spec Flash on AO3. Given that tumblr took away my ability to include both a read more and horizontal rules, I'm going to post the first section here, but you'll need to head over to either AO3, SquidgeWorld, or Fanfiction.Net to read the rest of it.

“I’ve been wondering, where did you get your ring?” John asked during their lunch break. It was a silver band worn on her middle finger, utterly plain except for a small green gem cut into the shape of a spade.

“I got it online,” Sasha replied, subconsciously tucking a strand of long, dark hair behind her ear. “Why do you ask?”

“I suspected it might be an aro ring, and I’m looking for a replacement for my last ace ring.” She relaxed when he said that. That made sense, they had only known each other for a couple of weeks. If the roles were reversed, he would have been uncomfortable with the question as well. “My last one was black hematite, and it chipped surprisingly fast.”

According to online forums, black hematite rings supposedly only broke when exposed to “bad vibes”. Sure, John wasn’t always the most warm and cuddly person, and the Magnus Institute wasn’t the best working environment, but there had to be a better explanation for his ring chipping than just “bad vibes”.

“And I’m guessing you don’t want silicone?” Sasha asked sympathetically.
