love for all i see

“Did I say something?” he asks, hyperaware of the fact that he’s probably not coming off nearly as chill and relaxed as he’d like to about this. It took him long enough to agree to Shane eating him out, and even longer still to agree to one slim finger. He’s not feeling very sex-positive right now. “Something that implied I wanted to try a vibrator?”

Also really curious if you were gonna participate in the ATL kinktober challenge because I think you would kill it and I need to read all of the prompts

ahhhh thank you so so much for the message, it comes at such a needed time in my life! and thank you endlessly for revisiting jtsmf, it and the follow-up are some of my proudest works and it makes me so happy to know that people are still enjoying them all this time later.

as for kinktober, unfortunately i don't think i'll be participating :( i haven't written in quite a while and there are several things in my life that need to settle back down to a baseline before i can put energy into writing. i am so excited to see what other people submit, though! eve worked hard on it and i wish i had more capacity to support and participate, especially because the fandom is on the dry side right now. all that to say, it's possible something will strike me with passion and i'll write up a quick fic, but no promises on that end.

my personal favorite is a bit obvious, but the summary (and technically, also the note alex gives to jack) has always stuck with me. i’ve probably already written it, but the reason i got around to reading erode. was because i remembered the summary while skimming through fics, and i thought it was a lyric or something. really set the mood for the fic :)

helloooo reader! apologies for taking days to respond to this -- i had to go through and reread erode. to refresh myself. good god, it is long.

for question 3: my favorite line of narration // "Jack glances at the title to see Alex’s cursive handwriting: construct."

for question 4: my favorite line of dialogue // probably alex, drunk on the lawn, saying "the earth, you fucking imbecile."

these might both seem like very average choices but that particular line of narration was a last-minute add for me right before publishing it, and i think it's just the right amount of subtle attention drawn to the fact that that's the cassette alex made that he wasn't willing to share about on ground control. it's the smallest line to let the reader know to pay attention to the theme of this particular mixtape in this exact context, shortly after alex used that specific word in a conversation with jack about relationships. it's subtle but it's crucial :)

as for the dialogue, i just feel like that line captures alex's sass and his passionate moral ground. he makes me laugh, honestly. as if i didn't write him myself.

One is Alex gets really jealous of Jack possibly dating Dan and drama ensues.

The other one is a little more detailed. And I want to preface this by saying I do not wish harm or anything bad on any real life person. So what if Alex has an open marriage but basically with just Jack. And a baby is born but Alex has to take care of the baby by himself because the mother is out of the picture. So he asks Jack to be with him and help him raise the baby at the farm. Would Jack say yes? Would he be okay living on the farm? What about the band?

I like stories about when they were younger too but I always wonder what’s happening now.

oooo i love both of these! i feel like another writer (possibly @jackinalex ?) would be able to do the second prompt better justice because i don't consider myself particularly gifted at writing children, but i do love the idea and would LOVE to read it.

the first one definitely has me interested! lowkey could see that happening in real life too... 👀
