#moth!jon au

OK kinda based off my rambling in a discord I'm in. And art I recently posted.

But au where Jon doesn't make it out of his kidnapping by Nikola and ends up "dieing" some shape or form.

Even with everything of course the ritual doesn't work.

Jon however is taken and somewhat brought back by the web, he's got not much of a memory but what he does remember is

1. Not trusting the web in general

2. Dislike to hatred for avatars of the stranger.

3. Martin and Tim even if not much

Due to him so being distrusting of The Web they end up keeping him in one place until they can get him tamed.

He's made to be very moth like, especially as parts of him still are built back.

His rebuilt skin does seem to be still flesh, but you can notice it looks as if weaved about him.

His haired even longer, like a mane laid over his shoulders no longer tied up.

Since he had been touched by The eye pretty strongly (probably still technically an avatar) his eyes glow green, though the web shields him from being known by Elias.

His moth like wings covered in eye looking marks.

The place he's kept in is covered in webs, living him trapped like a spiders prey. Though stranger avatars/not!them have come by since its close to their headquarters of function. Often they end up being attacked if they cross into his threshold at all.

Thinking of as a way to try tame him in some way the web kidnaps Martin and gets him close to the threshold Jon's bonded in.

Jon's immediate reaction it to protect Martin.

Of course the others come to save Martin, unable to recognize Jon due to how different he looks.

Also think it's important the not that after Jon's "death" there is a lot of chaos in the archives.

1. They lose what little cooperation they have with Elias, especially since it was well over a month before they learned Jon had been kidnapped and later killed.

2. Martin just freaking looses it on everyone, he's no longer putting up his harmless facade anymore. He matches the tone everyone else had given Jon and if that isn't a wake up call idk what is.

3. It's much easier to put blame onto Jon for their situation when you can argue he's having it easier in your mind. Being skinned to death however is a problem you can't just brush off. Elias no longer has someone to take on the blame of his actions in the view of the others.

You can't distrust anymore someone who is dead, especially when the one you know is all seeing had refused to act on it.

All in all Elias might try make a new Archivist (most likely Martin since getting a new new Archivist in that climate would not be wise)

But since he underestimated Martin it's a lot harder to try set him up then with Jon.

So already before they go into trying to save Martin tensions are high. Basira, Melanie and Daisy are bit thrown off by the sudden change, especially given Martin's change in attitude towards all of them.

Tim however becomes very protective of Martin, trying his best to keep their sanity. Afterall, all they have left is eachother.

So he's of course the one to lead on the plan to get Martin back.

Think only Basira and Melanie maybe come with him, Daisy probably still be made to run errands for Elias just to keep her from trying to strangle him frxrf

Jon's gonna only recognize Tim however, immediately trying to protect him. He'll precieve the others as a threat especially when a gun's aimed at him.

Tim will be jumpy with Jon at first, but when he makes a move that's a bit too simular to Jon I think it might click for him.

Also another side note that Melanie must likely is gonna have to break Jon's "death" to Georgie which could make their relationship rocky for a bit or just draw them closer depending on Georgie's reaction(Jon still was her friend even if no romantic feelings were left)

Also yes I'm still obsessed with their time travel cat Jon au, he's just a wittle guy

Also still working on his hair, obviously want it to look a mess but not sure how much a mess.

His design probably gonna change a bit as I settle on what I'd like.

Tim and tiny Re:Moth!Jon

Jon tried his best to hide, but seems the odd stranger found him too easily.
