LMAO IT'S TECHNICHALLY MY BEHOLDING AVATAR GERRY AU, where Gerry gives up his humanity to become an Avatar of the Eye and in doing so becomes deeply connected with the institute, Elias, and then Jon when he becomes the Archivist. No set story just yet, just Situations and Scenarios.
(Elias spent a year trying to kill Gerry, Failed, and now lives in vague Fear even though Gerry Cannot Kill him due to Eye Mumbo Jumbo Dream Logic.)
The connection is only between the full avatars, but the stronger someone elses connection to the Eye the more... attuned they are? if that makes sense, but As Of Now it's just Gerry, Jon, and Elias.
And Michael - he is definitely included LMAO. Fun fact, literally Every Doorkeay picture i've ever drawn is technically a part of the AU - just their own lil romance lmao. Michael is drawn to those of the Eye due to his own connection as Michael Shelley, though it was twisted and warped after Becoming the Distortion.
Basically Gerry Foils every one of Elias' plans after just Simply Telling Jon Everything and it essentially turns into a 'everybody lives and nobody dies and everyone ends up Happy (As Happy as Elias can be with having his centuries long plan foiled..................)
