behold, a fic
Jan. 15th, 2020 12:26 pmI have written a little Magnus Archives fic, inspired not by any of the momentous events of S4 but by Jonny and Alex riffing, in the S4 Q&A, about the Institute's dress code. No spoilers for anything after S3.

Not in the good way, but in the "wow, this seems to have nothing to do with the canon characterization of this person whatsoever" way.
That's always the way with fanfic, though. People are going to go off in all directions and some of it's going to be amazing and some of it's going to be WHOA FUCK WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE (and obviously different people will have different opinions on which is which).

Date: 2020-01-19 05:35 pm (UTC)I feel there's a moment of shock that a lot of new Magnus fans go through (I certainly did) on realizing that the mantra "He's a monster but we respect his craft" does not refer to Jonny; it became a meme in Rusty Quill Gaming fandom to describe Alex's GM-ing style.
