A tag to Macgyver 3x11, Mac + Jack + Fallout. Because sometimes what happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas.

"I can still hear him…” Mac admits, his voice barely above a whisper. “His cry of pain… of agony when the air canister hit him in the chest… Pleading with me to save him. That—that unwavering certainty in his voice that I could fix him. Begging me to help him because he was d-dying…” he trips over the last word, and he has to clear his throat of the thick emotions choking him before he can go on again. “Begging me to help him by using the g-gun…ordering me to DO IT.

"

This week’s word is…

✨ CRY ✨

...and was inspired by my dog who whined at me when I asked him what today's word should be.

what is this "Mac + Nightmare + Flashback + Jack" idea about? 😘

I haven't started this one, yet, I only have the idea.

It's a post 3x11 fic where Mac deals with what happened to them in that fallout shelter and him having to shoot Jack to fake Jack's death. He is having nightmares about the whole thing and Jack has to convince him that he is indeed alive and Mac didn't kill him.

Oh Gosh this little flinch was everything. Poor baby hurtin'

[nativestarwrites]

Ohhh, Buried, Aftermath, and Fallout, please! 😁

Ooh, ‘Buried’ was nearly today’s Cairo Week fic but I knew I was never going to get it finished in time.  It’s army days, Jack wakes up in a hospital bed to be told that Mac didn’t make it (but its not a death fic).  Here’s a snippet:

“Hey Jack.”  He sounded sombre.

Jack looked closer at his friend, the questions he was so desperate to find answers to dying on his tongue as he took in his pale face, the way he was biting his lip and worst of all, his eyes. Jack knew those eyes.  He’d seen them in the mirror before, the heavy pain they held as you speak the truth no one wants to believe until its said aloud.

Jack slowly shook his head.

“I don’t want to hear it.”

‘Aftermath’ dealt with the fact that Mac went through a lot in the season 4 finale.  I mean, two fights, two lots of smoke inhalation and nearly falling off a bridge?  Ouch.  And that’s without the emotional repercussions.  So, a bit of hurt, lots of comfort here:

He started to stand, pulling himself to his knees with effort, then to his feet as a wave of dizziness crashed over him causing him to stagger and bend over putting his hands on his thighs so stop himself falling.

“Whoa!”  He heard someone say as both Riley and Desi grabbed onto him, just as the blackness started clearing from his vision.  They eased him back to the ground before he could protest.  He rested his head on his knees and took a deep breath.  Riley’s hand stayed on the back of his neck as she rubbed her thumb in small circles.

‘Fallout’ is a post 3x11 fic where Riley, Bozer and Leanna find out what happened to Mac and Jack in the bunker on the flight home and rush back.

Jack looked terrible.  He had a knack for attracting the punches to himself so it was far from the first time she’d seen him with bruises for a face but he looked worse than usual.  The dehydration, sleep deprivation and lack of food had took a visible toll.  That was just the visible bruises too, apparently his chest was one massive, spectacular bruise and he’d also cracked a couple of ribs too.  The doctors had been surprised his sternum was still intact, it was that severe.

Not that Jack was aware of this.  They had him on the ‘good stuff’ as he called it. Not to mention the IV’s for the dehydration and glucose.  He was being closely monitored.  The doctors said he wouldn’t be awake until the morning, likely longer given his exhaustion.  But these doctors didn’t know Jack Dalton like Riley did.  She knew his internal Mac Monitor would be going off and at some point soon he’d be awake and asking questions she didn’t know the answer to yet.

Thanks for the ask!

do reqest?

Hey there @bisexualstokes I tried to send a request through but every time I do it just gives me an error. I saw your 3x11 fallout gifs from earlier but I was hoping you could do some of the close up scenes of the ‘death’ scene for Jack and Mac’s reactions, if possible? Haven’t seen it if you’ve already done them �� hope this isn’t too weird a request, thanks ❤️

i can totally do that :D i’ll add it to my list!

the reason im not afraid of 3x10/3x11 and the reason 3x10/3x11 needs to happen

so ,the name at the very least ,for what will ether be ep 310 or 311 has been revealed "mac+fallout+jack" and for pretty understandable and obvious reasons its left 99.9% of the fandom with a seance of foreboding especially given mac and jacks interactions resent episodes ,

however im not afraid , and, i may be giving the writers to much credit with what we've been getting and all, but last time in season 2 when i gave the writers some credit , we actually  came pretty cloes to what i was thinking , so im going out on this limb again , and i hope you'll hear me out , because were dealing with the bromance slash surrogate father relationship of jack and mac , and this area at least the writers have always gotten 99.9% right ..with ..a few hiccups here and there but you get what i mean , so what am i getting at?    

the offness were apparently ALL picking up when it comes to mac and jack..is being done on purpose.

why do i think this ? well its a bit long and briefly personal , but art imitates life and there is a point so i hope you bear with me,a little while back around 302 i did a post about the reaction of the fandome to mac leaving, coming back , and still wanting to leave again , where i basically stated the former

"i think the problem is a lot of people are looking at the situation through “mac” colored glasses so to speak like “oh macs so sweet and so strong , so clearly this isn’t him , this is childish ,his friends are going to easy on him , hes a compartmentalize mac would never do this , hes not allowed to act like this!”"

and im not saying everyone whose coming to the “macs being a dick ” conclusion is completely wrong , but i truly still stand by the believe that his actions are more of a gray area then were giving it credit for , and ill get into that and why its important in a sec but first , lets look at jack  

the thing is , after reading a lot of my fellow fans feelings and reactions and mulling over my own thoughts , i think people are seeing jack through jack colored glasses as well, see jack discovered something about himself in 301  when it comes to mac , something i just assumed everyone else saw even tho it was subtle, and its something about himself that knowing jacks character he doesn’t much care for      

in 301 it was ether riley or bozer who stated "jack didnt care where you were , as long as he knew you were happy " witch as far as there relationship has gone thus far , has been the assumed status quo between them and towards each other, but then we see jacks actions, and hear his own words when he finally comes face to face with mac after there months apart

"I was gonna hunt down and capture Walsh.Yeah, I kind of figured if I collared your old man's ex-partner, I don't know, he'd just retire.And-and then you could return to the Phoenix."

"You know, you did save my life, pal, but I could argue that I'm saving yours as well.Rescued you from a life of misery, - wasting your talents. '

" the world needs you, Mac.And you owe it to the world to work for the Phoenix."

jack goes on to tell mac his main reason along with the ones stated above was jack was doing what he always does , protecting him , but having had this short conversation and hearing his thoughts out loud AND judging from jakcs reaction to mac coming to find him at the airstrip in the next episode , jack realized somethings after having time to mull over his own words

1 that mac being happy , alone, isn't enough

like riley said ,jack knew mac was relatively happy, he had his first steady girlfriend that hasn't tried to kill him , and tho not in any war zones , was still using his gifts to help people , he was healing and happy to the point he was considering not coming back , and i honesty don't believe this was an easy choice or taken lightly on macs part, whose the type of person who wont leave a house he loves despite the fact its literally unsafe, mac had to be happy in a real kinda way to come to this decision , and jack must have known that

but jack still cant fully accept that , hed rather have mac happy AND be with him , then only the former , jack assumes mac is "living a life of misery " because jack is miserable without him , and in that dialog jack admits this to mac and himself out loud for what is probably the first time  

this revelation is so hard on jack , because knowing jack he no doubt thinks this is very wrong of him to feel , jack views riles and mac as his children , but because he hasn't had biological kids of his own for a long and continues amount of time , jack doesn’t understand that theses feeling of a parent in relation to there child are completely normal ,every parent struggles with the balancing act of wanting there child to be happy , and also wanting the child they've raised to be near them

in jakcs mind hes come to the unwanted conclusion that when it comes to mac , he can be greedy and even a little selfish , even if that isn't entirely true and even if mac himslef may not actually feel that way , its how jack is seeing himself now and its put him on edge in concerns to mac

2 jack thinks macs dads physical presence is the only problem

jack and his own father had a completely different relationship in comparison to mac and his dad , but its influencing a lot of jakcs actions , jakcs convinced if big mac is out the building mac will have no problem walking back in , but that's not the real issue ,witch brings us to mac himself and the main problem when it comes to him and his relation to the people around him ,witch is ?

mac is emotionally distancing himself..because his emotions are being disregarded .

macs life was truly torn apart last season after what his father did, hes left  feeling the crushing weight of looking at any and i mean any aspect of his life , and feeling like it doesn’t belong to him ,most likely to the point were doing anything that reminds him of those feelings may even be physically painful , no really , i want you all to imagine building something real that you thought was amazing for years and then having someone tell you “no you didnt do any of that , none of that’s real , you’d have nothing without me ”

god guys its..skin crawling ,and mac was crawling in his own to the point he felt he had to leave the continent to get away from it,of cores macs not acting like who he is , he suddenly has to question every aspect of what that is, mac was faced with a real identity crisis ,and i know for people who haven’t run this kinda race that’s a hard thing to understand , to understand having such a great support system to fall back on ,and not being able to reach out to it , but its a real thing ,and its actually a pretty accurate picture of someone not being able to see past it when there in that much pain , because that’s what this is its pain ,and quite frankly macs handling it better then i did      

i did what mac did to the people around me ,only i didnt have to leave my room to do it, but i was given that space and all the time i needed  to mentally and emotionally heal, the problem is, mac wasn't, not really , mac thought hed found a woman and a purpose, and that was it, hes good , but that's not who mental health works , and it really doesn’t help , that macs kind of the martyr of the group , thanks to his dad mac was pretty much a parentified child from the time he was 10 hes been putting everyone else’s feelings and well-being before himslef for a looong time

and because that was his default setting within the group , it became a shock when mac did something drastic for his own good that put himself first , and weather we or the characters like it or not , that distance was needed, and the slow healing that was happening was cut short, and then he comes back and jack tells him in his own words that he wants him with him to the point of putting him self in harms way , because he knows mac will turn around and put himslef last to save him ,and mac doesn't know what emotionally to do with this , because macs not used to being so wanted , but hes still not healed and being around his father is still hard so he goes to leave again , but then murdoc happens  and mac puts himslef to the back again because someone died , witch brings us to the big point of why "mac+fallout+jack" needs to happen

mac and jack still arn’t right with themselves..and there not talking about it 

mac tries , weakly , at the end of 302 , but jack cuts it down and says there fine , and mac in turn says the same , becaues both of them don't want to acknowledge that something no matter how tiny between them has fractured , but this moment where they both chose not to talk is what sets the tone going forward , jack doesn't let himslef be as close to or open with mac as he was before , and macs feelings, especially when it comes to his father , continue to be pushed aside or misinterpreted ,so mac emotionally distances himslef from everyone and everything and says nothing ,and why would he , mac put his own feeling first , for the first time ..and it was met with a very negative reaction

but they need to have this conversation , and the only thing that may very well bring that about at this point with them playing pretend ,is that mac needs to have an emotional blow up ,hes been pushing all this shit down from all sides and its really been fucking with him , its been a long time coming and there needs to be screaming and crying and yelling , and it may be painful to watch and painful to hear , they may not talk for a day or 2 , but this needs to happen , they need to lay it all out and get themselves right so they can be right together  

mac and jack have both been disillusioned with there seance of self , even if the things they now believe about themselves arnt exactly true , its made them loose the equilibrium within there relationship that has been there constant , their off ,and they need to find each other again.

Ever wonder if we're seeing the start if the "fallout" hinted in episode name for 3x11? Perhaps maybe just maybe we'll get more Jack and Mac. Wonder if Fallout means something happens to Mac? Yep there goes the fanfic sude if my brain. Only two episodes and a short break till we know.
