#slaughter!jon

(Please I beg you to take these from me and to tell me what you think)

**warning for Spoilers & Elias being...an old white man**

Melanie and Georgie have a vlog. 

It isn’t occultly themed, but the typical weirdness of the Archives occurs and they very weakly cover up what they talk about. 

Fans are split between thinking its an exploration in fiction or they are in league with many cryptids. 

a large (rather satiric) flame war happens over it

Melanie can’t stop laughing

Idiots go to Pride

everyone lives fuck you

 (Bonus: taken from the point of view of Georgie’s Camera)

Childhood friends to Lovers/Forbidden Love AU where Gertrude adopted Jon and Peter & Elias adopted Martin and They end up growing up together. 

(Bonus: all three parents get roped into some PTO thing and have to stay civil. They fail miserably much to Karen, Susan, and Sandra’s confused horror)

(Bonus: its a slowburn)

(Bonus: at some point they’re enemies)

**

Newly Elias, Jonah must re navigate the politics of the other Eye temples without revealing everything he knows

its maddening

its infuriating

and not every head actually knows what the purpose of these institutes are

its incompetence

Jonah has never in his life want to tell Jean-Marie to shut the fuck up  and tell everyone about an affair in his life

Kareem was replaced? by a woman? and shes not even an avatar? 

And she keeps talking down to him like he’s a child

he’s not a child

hes at over a century older than her, not he can tell her that

ahhhhhhh

did he tell peter how much he hates these meetings

he doesn’t care if the Beijing institute was “older” he misses his east india institute

fucking Boxers

hmmph

he wants to tell Nicholas to get a more dutiful translator, but he also likes their ideas much better

so its a toss

*googles: how to brag without revealing your plans for a ritual*

Jon & Georgie college Shenanigans

Jon eats a notebook

Agnes watching the real world

Avatar!Gerry lives and his entity treats him as a rather naughty cat

you know like “i hate you you ruin everything  youre a bastard but ill be damned if you arent entertaining”

let Jon and Gerry have more time to be friends goddamn you

Helen being a big sister to Jon in the weirdest ways possible

Georgie drags Jon to somewhere inherently queer and ends up bumping into his new coworker, Tim

Distortion!Jon

Gertrude coparenting with anyone (its such a funny concept to me especially if its Leitner or Elias)

Callum’s Becoming

(Bonus: From his parents point of view)

(Bonus: they aren’t concerned because they think its just normal teenager things)

Slaughter!Jon AU where he and Slaughter!Melanie are friends (this is my favorite as you can probably tell)

(Archivist!Sasha’s here too)

Melanie and Jon are impromptu sparring buddies

He’s closer to becoming than she is

he’s like her mentor but she bullies him

They try to keep each other human

they aren’t particularly open to the others about it

everyone thinks they hate eachother because of how they fight (they don’t this how they say that they love each other)

Martin’s scared, Sasha’s tired of the screaming, Tim keeps trying to lighten the mood 

“i know its wrong and pretty much permanently damns my soul to a violence god but what if i killed Wilkins”

“...”

“i know your thinking about it too so dont lie”

Jon & Daisy serve as Sasha’s only support this versions S4

Melanie still gets her surgery and is even more mad about it

bc Jon is the one that helps with it

Jon still has the extreme paranoia in S2

it gets alot hairier when he confronts Martin

when Melanie first starts,  the others think they keep dissapearing to have hate-sex

Nope

that is very very very wrong

theyre dissappearing to rip eachother apart so they dont hurt someone else

they call it tap in

“Tap in?”

“I’m in the middle of something, are you good?”

“homophobe in the library.”

“what”

*cracks knuckles” homophobe in the library”

Tim once walked into a tap in and tried to stop the fight

OH MAN OKAY so i haven’t been able to do any art for this but i’m thinking: axe. this man has an axe. i have a weirdly complex fic in my head where slaughter!jon somehow ends up in regular!jon’s universe (swapping places, probably) and he acts all innocent and polite and he’s like “oh elias is still alive here? i have some questions i never got to ask - you think he’d be willing to answer them?” and they’re like “Uh i guess but he’s kind of a dick” and then jon goes to elias’ office and tries to fucking murder him it’s great

tim underneath - along with some spoilers? 

the tim one is probably even weirder but it’s where tim, during the unknowing, dies and wakes up in an alternate universe where everything is weird - jon is the head of the magnus institute, but he’s NOT Jonah, and Martin is the head archivist, and Danny is alive, and everything is just. wonky. 

[accepts your 3 very smooth rocks and adds them to a growing pile behind me. eats the leaf.] yes of course here you go 

How did he get into the Slaughter? How did he develop? What Music does he use?

Hiii! That was fast. :)

Thank you for asking me these amazing questions. I’m afraid I might not be able to go in as detail as you’d hope. This is one of those things that takes its own life after you breathe them into creation and you lose track of all the possibilities.When I thought of my AU, I really was thinking of outside povs and an alternate to Melanie’s and his relationship and so I wasn’t thinking much for logistics.

He stumbled into the Slaughter similarly to Melanie. He was (unknowingly) investigating Slaughter manifestations or avatars, sometime before his time at the Institute. (which would happen as it does with the canon). In this AU, I’d say its appropriate to assume that he is a bit more “aggressive” in his pursuit of the supernatural after his experience with Mr. Spider. He’s more apt to investigate rather than research. In this he got up and personal with an aspect of the Slaughter and got a bit hooked. He doesn’t have the neat “go back to normal” switch that Melanie has bc his mark and his beginning is psychological. 

As for how he Became, I am stuck between few concepts of how he came to realize he’s avatar:

ok i love any and all forms of jon and daisy friendship so jot that down

now i happen to have TWO (count ‘em) TWO slaughter jon aus so their friendship would be pretty different in both

in my initial au (featuring Archivist!Gerry):

-they meet accidentally?? jon probably gets arrested for being a Dumbass 

-Jon definitely tracks down things causing Issues and Stops Them, which daisy can get on board with

-Jon is also deeply embroiled in avatar politics so he ends up becoming her informant? kind of? he teaches her about shit

-he helps prevent her from sinking too far into being an avatar of the hunt

feral little man au, however:

-there is no listening to the quiet. Jon is leaning way far into this avatar thing

-swings violently back and forth on whether he wants to prevent others from devolving or if he wants to speed things along

-daisy is trying her best to convince this man to chill, christ jon 

-good ending: she helps him not be a shit all the time

Sitting on the desk, drenched in blood, is Jon. He has one leg folded under him, the other swinging loosely. There’s a cigarette in his left hand, the one with the burn. He smiles when he sees her, a relaxed, toothy grin.

“You won’t be needing that,” he says. Her gaze shifts, slowly, from him to the straight backed chair Elias is so fond of.

Was so fond of.
