Author: perfectpro Link: Let the Current Carry Us Pairing: Jack/Kent Rating: Mature Word Count: ~37k Summary: Jack hums and smiles, but otherwise doesn’t respond. They sit in silence, and he bites his tongue to keep from saying anything. There is no sense disrupting this fragile peace that they have. // Here is the deal he has made with himself: Jack is forbidden, until after the curse of the seventeenth summer. Kent does not want to do anything to let the gods know how they could hurt him the worst.

I am reccing this fic because honestly it is a tragedy that it doesn’t have more kudos. Want something to wreck you?? Pre-canon pimms. And truly, any fic based on the post "like cicadas, every seventeen years, Kent Parson screams for an entire summer" deserves more angst-loving readers.

Summary:

There are some bad decisions that Kent barrels his way into, knowing they’re terrible ideas. A dirty check on someone twice his size. Saying something honest to the media after a game, instead of giving the press-perfect approved message. They’re things Kent can do, that Kent sometimes does too much, driven by impulse and spite. But they feel safe, even once the consequences hit. Kent may walk away with sore ribs or a new black eye, may have to sit through another media training session and a lecture from the PR person. But when Kent is at his highest, they’re bad decisions that he hates himself for making but that don’t feel like they can touch him.

But being with someone - actually being with them, in a way that is real and present and not half-assed for appearances’ sake. That’s something different entirely. That's a risk that feels too big for Kent to take.

back to me - a pimms playlist of losing each other and fighting to find each other again [lines below taken in order from the songs in the playlist]

i’m flying high like a bird but my fluttering wings can’t keep you from pulling me down

cause i’ve been pouring my whole life in you trying to resurrect the love we grew

craving for some feeling game’s up, we’re nowhere to be found

love to watch you turn your back on me when i know that any minute you’ll be back to me

i’m waiting on your phone call, baby i gotta know if you’re gonna save me i’m shaking from the withdrawal, baby

and i’m not scared of you or what you put me through

say that you want to save me but how come you never hear me out?

we can argue whether this is worth it why’s it always fucked up when it’s perfect

even with the brightest color i could never change your mind

while you nurse my scars and the old flame i’m a fool for you, i’m a fool for…
