Two screenshots taken from The Magnus Archives's extra episode, 'Retrospective: Crew's Qs with Jonny & Alex'

Screenshot 1 (highlights mine):

ALEX: You don’t want to read something that's ever been written by me solely. It’s always just vicious.

There is one disagreement we had. And I remember this conversation, and this is early Season 1, where it was the first time we ever discussed the feasibility of a Martin/John romance. And I distinctly remember your initial reaction being, ‘I don't know if there's much space for romance in this as a property.’

JONNY: I very much went into Season 1 being like, ‘Ah no, this is horror, there's no, like, I don’t think there's space for romance.’

I don't think it was actually John and Martin though. I think we were talking much more abstractly, because I remember there was a distinct moment, end of Season 2/ early Season 3 where we both have the moment of like. ‘John and Martin, actually? The dynamic. Do we lean into this?’

And we were both like, ‘Yeah, actually, that is, that's the move.’

JONNY: In my capacity as the Web, I haven't listened to a lot of it. I, I listened to it, to the first few Patron releases to make sure it was good and then I was like, ‘Brilliant. I trust Anil to absolutely nail this.’
