So... I’ve started posting my Sunny Day Jack fic on AO3. It’s the polished version of my previous tumblr post of the first part. I’m so used to showing snippets of the rough draft of of my Our Life: Beginnings & Always fan novelization here that it’s kind of weird to be posting my Sunny Day Jack stuff already. I guess that’s the perks of each part being very short.
On that note, I’ve got to wonder, would people prefer to just get notified of the polished chapter getting posted with a teaser in future tumblr posts, or if y’all like seeing these rough draft teasers before the final product. I mean, with Our Life I intend to start posting it after I finish it like, ya know, you usually do when writing a novel. Novel idea, I know. Sorry not sorry for the bad pun.
Well, either way, I hope you enjoy more of Jack musing about his sunshine.
Oh yeah, can’t forget to tag @channydraws and blame her again for getting me hooked on this game and inspired to make fics and art for it.
...
It was love at first sight.
His sunshine… Alice… was far more beautiful than Jack ever imagined, so beautiful he could hardly believe that she was real. He couldn’t help but admire the radiant person who pulled him out of that cold, dark, and lonely hell to bask in her warm glow. She had a delicate appearance not unlike a porcelain doll, pale with a petite stature that nevertheless was blessed with delightful curves. Waves of curled blonde hair so fair it bordered on white framed her angelic face like a halo, ending just past her shoulders.
Alice was asleep now, curled up on the beat up brown sofa he met her on. Saving him had taken so much out of her, and Jack had to restrain himself to let her sleep. There had barely been time for them to talk, to look into those lovely pale blue eyes of hers that were now peacefully closed. The clothes she wore - a black hoodie and gray pants - looked soft and cozy, perfect to help her get the rest that she deserved.
Jack could hardly tear his eyes away from her to take in details of his new surroundings. It was a decent sized living room with a scruffy purple carpet, illuminated more by the numerous fairy lights strung across the ceiling than the lone lamp or the glowing television screen. The place had clearly seen better days, as cracks and indents occasionally dotted the faded purple walls and ceiling. A few posters of cats had been taped over a few of these, as evidenced by one being revealed by a poster that had partially come loose. The furniture had a similar roughed up appearance, though there were electronic devices around that seemed out of a science fiction film.
Only the television really drew Jack’s attention away from his sunshine, more specifically the static that filled the screen and hissed at him in a way that made his skin crawl. It took him a little effort to find the television remote and figure out how to use it before he turned the cursed thing off.
Jack didn’t want to think about that hell. Not ever again.
With that settled, Jack returned his attention to what was most important - his sunshine. For now, he was content to sit on the floor beside Alice as close as he possibly could. He couldn’t bring himself to disturb her after she did so much to bring him here. He wanted to talk to her, to hear her beautiful voice again and learn more about her, but he had to be patient. There would be time for that later. He had time now.
Jack had all the time in the world to bask in his sunshine’s warm and happy light.
A part of Jack still struggled to accept that his endless nightmare was finally over. A whisper of doubt made him wonder if Alice and this place were just a sweet but cruel dream born from his fractured mind.
If he had to go back…
Jack shivered from cold memories that haunted him and clasped one of Alice’s hands between both of his.
Warm. Alice was so warm. She was real, far more real than anything Jack had ever known.
Jack pressed his forehead to the back of her fingers and focused on her warmth, the softness of her skin against his. He couldn’t get enough of her gentle warmth after being nothing but cold for so long. He wanted to be even closer, to twine himself in her warmth until nothing could ever separate them.
Nothing would separate them. Ever. Jack would never allow it. If someone dared try, then…
A chill that didn’t come from his memories of hell overtook Jack as his thoughts turned dark.
If someone tried to get between them, then they would have to disappear.
No one would take his sunshine away.
A small shiver ran through Alice, and she shifted a bit in his direction, her fingers curling around his gloved hands. That small act of clinging, her subconscious desire to get closer to him made Jack and his cold anger melt like snow in the sun.
Jack couldn’t help the small smile that tugged at his lips, and he began to slowly rub circles on the back of her hand with his thumbs. A soft, happy sigh escaped Alice as she relaxed once more, which made his heart melt all over again.
No, other people weren’t going to take Alice away from Jack. They couldn’t. No one could hope to break this special bond between them. What they had ran far deeper than anyone could ever understand. Their souls were joined, now and forever.
The only danger was if the hand holding him so gently chose to let him go.
The thought chilled Jack, and he had to fight the urge to tighten his grip on Alice. He didn’t understand the ‘why’ of a lot of things - why he was sent to hell, why he had been forgotten, why none of his friends tried to save him - but he understood that being with her now was a miracle that the two of them created together.
Alice wanted Jack here with her. She wanted his warmth, his love. She wanted him, needed him just as desperately as he needed her. The proof was right there in his hands, the way she clutched at him and drew closer to him unconsciously. He could feel it as keenly as he felt her warmth.
As long as Alice needed him, as long as Jack needed to be with her, then nothing would ever separate them.
Perhaps it seemed strange to need someone, to love someone so deeply before even knowing them, but that just went to show just how special their bond truly was. It didn’t have to make sense to anyone else but them. It didn’t matter if no one understood this connection between them. The world could think whatever it wanted. The only thing that mattered was the two of them.
If the world tried to get between them, then the world could just burn.
Jack tried to shake off such dark thoughts. He shouldn’t be making himself upset like this. He should be happy. He was happy. His sunshine found him, saved him. Alice shared her beautiful warm light with him after he had been cold and alone for so long. It wouldn’t do any good for either of them if he kept dwelling on his fears now, not when he had more important things to focus on.
Jack needed to make this delicate bond between him and Alice to be so strong that nothing in the world could ever break it. He had to make her so happy that she would never even think of letting him go.

The Filly had been a force to be reckoned with in Nassau, until the battered ship returns to port with half its crew missing and a woman claiming to be the captain. Her men seem to trust her implicitly, and with the ship’s clearly valuable cargo, Eleanor Guthrie has no choice but to call it business as usual.Â
But Jane Locke isn’t out to just plunder a few wayward merchant ships. She has a stake in New Providence, and a knowledge of the infamous Captain Flint that few possess. When the smoke clears and the age of pirates is dead, she intends to remain standing, with all of Nassau begging at her feet.Â
Because @chuck-hansens is mean. I should really just dedicate a section of my blog to things you made me do :P
