Porter in a suit send tweet-
Actually no I have more to say bc I 100% am thinking about billionaire!Porter of fashion model!Jace au fame in a black & white vertical striped button down with a maroon blazer, black (immaculately tailored) dress pants to show off his incredible legs, ass and thighs. With expensive Italian leather oxfords, a subtle silver chain that hangs just low enough to lead your eye to the smattering of chest hair peeking out from his deliberately unbuttoned button up. He wears his hair out because he knows how good he looks with it down and its easier access for Jace to pull on it when he's between his legs spreading him open on his fingers- which, speaking of fingers. I cannot forget the rings; silver to match his chain. They're on almost every finger. He takes them off before he makes Jace fall apart because he's such a gentlemen.
#Jace sees him across the bar of course he starts chatting him up are you KIDDING#finest man alive#Jace loves watching Porter stretch him out especially when he’s wearing a skirt#Porter just can’t wait to hike it up and get between his legs I- I’m sweating#starbreaker#jace stardiamond#porter cliffbreaker#blewb rambles#blewbs fic tag

Jace wears this to the gym when he goes with Porter who gets SO pissed off bc people take it as an open invitation to hit on his boyfriend (babe, they don’t even know who that twink is or that he’s with you.)
Porter gets so distracted trying to keep an eye on Jace, he drops a weight on his foot. He can heal it no problem but he’s so deep in a rage that it’ll have to wait. Jace misty steps over to help but Porter is so pissy about it and gets a little mean with him.
Jace rolls his eyes and tries to go back to what he was doing before his weirdo bf got himself hurt when a VERY hot VERY buff guy starts to chat him up. He didn’t make it that far across the gym, and honestly? Good.
If Porter was gonna be bitchy, he can watch. Jace puts on a show, complimenting the guy, feeling his muscles when he flexes, laughing at his jokes. Laying it on thick 🤭
By the time Porter storms over, Jace is letting the guy put his number in his crystal. Porter flips the guy off, snatches back Jace’s phone and drags him off to the locker room to show him who he belongs to.

In honor of iwtv!Rockstar Lestat I’m thinking about Rockstar Jace who takes a (honestly concerning) amount of interest in his new roadie/sound equipment manager Porter. After coming down from a month(s) long bender Jace is finally coherent enough to notice Porter during soundcheck. So he starts serenading him and getting super touchy feel-y. Porter kinda brushes it off, he’s toured with enough musicians to know they’re a special breed, ESPECIALLY the rockstars. But he’s a professional he would never-
That same night Jace is riding him in his dressing room and he does a bump of coke out of the dip of Porter’s clavicle and honestly? It shouldn’t be as hot as it is. Jace being this fucked up also shouldn’t be this hot either and Porter is spiraling a bit but Jace is so tight and so fucking batshit the entire night and Porter really cant resist fucking him 2(-4) more times that night. Next day, Jace goes on a little mission to bug Porter before his show and Porter is just so flustered. He’s trying so hard to do his job and make sure everything goes smoothly. He’s like “Mr. Stardiamond, we’re all working very hard to make sure you have a great show tonight so if you could just FUCK OFF for a moment that’d be great~” and Jace is like huh okay, no one but my manager Zara talks to me like this.. kinda a turn on. But he does as he’s told and fucks off until it’s time for the show. But he has plans for Porter. So many that involve throwing his money and drugs around and letting Porter put him in his place whenever he likes.
Once the tour wraps, he asks if Porter would like to help out while he records his album in his home studio because his last sound equipment manager didn’t make house calls (for reasons Jace doesn’t want to discuss. Maybe he’s done this before, no one needs to know he’s a walking HR nightmare, he’s a rockstar he can do what he wants.) Porter agrees because the pay is incredible and traveling is fun but it takes a lot out of him and honestly, the perks of him and a few of his industry friends helping Jace make another hit album seems like a fun gig. And maybe fucking Jace on every surface in his mansion is a very appealing idea. He can handle Stardiamond. He’s just like every other fucked up musician. But uh oh.. the more time he spends with Jace the more he realizes that he isn’t that bad. A fucking whirlwind, sure, but in the quiet moments when he’s writing songs at his piano or having a quiet smoke on the balcony or meticulously arranging audio and re-recording harmonies, Porter is so endeared with him. He didn’t start doing his job for nothing, he wanted to make music himself but never quite broke through. Jace is a wonder to him, he wanted to resent him for pissing away an opportunity.
But Jace cares about the music, he does. The drugs and the flashy clothes and the money are fun. Very fun, until they aren’t. When he’s not trying to numb himself to the fucking shithole the music industry is, he still has music to comfort him. He’s so meticulous and careful about what he puts out. Which his manager loves. She loves a lot about him but even Zara would admit there are days that she sees him and her heart just hurts because he’s so far from the Jace she grew up with and talked about their dreams with. All those late nights in college where they painstakingly put together his first ep going off nothing but Red Bull and sleep deprivation. She remembers the night they finally heard back from the label and she negotiated a contract that was less shitty and intrusive than what Jace would’ve signed had she not been there. She misses him and she does like how good of an influence Porter can be on him. She’s glad there’s someone else there that doesn’t enable him- not all the time anyway.
Porter’s glad Zara’s around when she can be because everyone else buzzing around Jace is a kiss up or an enabler, but not her. On the bad days, she’s the first one to show up for Jace when everyone else makes themselves scarce. Jace tries not to notice the minute people scatter when he’s not offering party favors or lavish nights out. When the dust settles it’s Zara and.. Porter. Much to his surprise. And he feels a little bad for how over the top he was with him. One night, Porter comes over when he’s putting the finishing touches on the melody of a song, really into it and lost in the way every key sounds together. When he finishes, Porter is clapping and maybe that’s the only applause he really cares about.

We gotta put Jace and Porter in a Netflix dating reality show/Love Island/bachelor au. They’d either be the couple that wins at the end just to breakup or arguably the strongest couple by the end that doesn’t win but stays together after the show.
They’re so messy and toxic at the reunion just fighting with all the other contestants and maybe the host too if they try to bring up Porter coupling up with someone else and leaving Jace in danger of going home one week.
If it’s love island it’s 100% bc of Casa Amour. Jace flirted a bit and played the game but ultimately doesn’t choose to couple up with with someone new. The producers showed the everyone back at the house footage of what happened in the other villa and Porter fucking sees red watching Jace flirt with all the new casa amour people. When the new singles arrive to the villa Porter wastes no time to chat a cute guy up and take him back to the hideaway.
When the other half of the house gets back and Jace sees Porter looking VERY cozy with someone else and he’s distraught. Him and Porter have a screaming match by the bar that night. Viewers are eating this shit UP. Sandra-Lynn and Halo have to pull Jace away from Porter before he beats the shit out of him. Porter is just being so cocky and rude and smirking at Jace like “let him hit me~” Jace pulls a reality tv classic and spits in Porter’s face. Porter who is reveling in the fucking mess of it all. That man is a perfect reality tv villain. A true chaos agent the villa.
Both of their talking heads in the confessional are so insane at this point too. Jace is trying to pretend he doesn’t care in between clips of him crying and screaming and being comforted by half the house lmao, meanwhile Porter is doubling down and saying if Jace wasn’t so quick to shove his tongue people’s throats he wouldn’t have coupled up with *checks notes* hetero Jessica? He barely remembers this poor woman’s name it’s awful. He says at the next re-coupling he’s getting back with Jace but he likes to watch him squirm a little bit.
Jace HATES that he has to depend on Porter to choose him again, so he puts in the work and starts chatting up Zara and they hit. It. Off. Jace is probably calm for the first time in weeks since he got there. It’s days before the recoupling Zara tells Jace that she likes this but wants to stick with Lucilla. She does mention that Porter is planning on recoupling with him though. That she heard it from Gorthalax. Jace does hate how happy it makes him but he wants to play hard to get and see if Porter atleast comes to talk to him at some point. And he does!
Porter ends up winning some challenge. He can choose to go on 3 dates with anyone of his choosing. When he gets the text he reads it for the group but immediately beelines to catch a producer to ask if it has to be a different person for each date or if he can go on all of them with one person. The producers are seeing the ratings and the dollars skyrocketing from this stunt so they allow it.
When Jace gets summoned for the first date he’s a little put out because you always save the person you actually wanna couple up with for last, right? Porter is gonna tell him he’s not picking him. WRONG.
Porter is genuinely being so romantic and sweet and it’s probably the best day they’ve shared in the villa. But by the time the first date would be wrapping up, Jace places a hand on Porter’s arm and says it’s okay if he doesn’t choose him. Porter raises an eyebrow and asks him why he’d think that. Jace asks who his next two dates are with and when Porter responds with “you.” Jace tears up and kisses him.
They definitely don’t win the show but they do end up very happy together post-show.
#I like making them rotten and toxic before they get to be soooo sweet to each other#I prommy Porter is only a fucking menace on tv he’s a very good bf to Jace outside of the villa#and Jace only spits on and punches Porter in bed#they’re freaks but they’re freaks in love#if you see a typo on this not you didn’t#starbreaker#blewb rambles#blewbs fic ramblings

It’s been long enough and we’ve all collectively spiraled enough about Jace that he can never be mentioned in the fh canon again without me going “who’s that?” If he shows up in senior year. But on the flip side part of me wants him tapped back in for fan service alone lmao.
BLeeM isn’t reading or interacting with any of this at all, and with how niche starbreaker and general Jace loving freaks (affectionate) are across all social media platforms it’ll never happen. But it would be VERY funny if initially the one thing Bleem did see was the overwhelming collective fandom response back in May of “why was Jace working for Porter? They must be fucking.” And that’s the Jace we get in senior year. Freshly resurrected by Ankarna, rage crystal-less when the bad kids rock up and ask him if he was evil just for him to say “no, but if your hot coworker/situationship asks you to help him become god you try to be supportive c:”
#I truly think that man is too busy with his life to know we care about Jace this much#Jace is his least favorite npc we’re never seeing our guy again LMAO#plus all Jace tweets hit a sharp decline after the finale#insta has less than 5 posts#tiktok.. I don’t wanna say what I saw on TikTok#but tumblr has the biggest starbreaker following#and I doubt Brennan is here at all which is good lmao#this is not a diss to Brennan I adore him and I love junior year and it’s time to rewatch bc I forgot Jace isn’t special in the show at all#this is for us#blewb rambles

Porter takes Jace camping but he’s a teeny bit worried Jace will hate it so he gets enough camping gear that makes it more like glamping. Meanwhile Jace is having a blast either way.
He gushes about going on camping trips with his dad and brother when he was a kid. Although, he thinks Porter over did it a bit with the tent (it’s practically a tiny cabin) but he’s very glad his bf sprung for the portable shower.
To show his appreciation he gives Porter many kisses, makes him an extra s’more and also shows him a lot of cool bugs he finds when they go on a hike.
The only part Jace kinda hates is fishing. He mainly curls up next to Porter and listens to him tell stories. All in all a very lovely trip 🥰

Jace and Porter moving in together and experiencing a year full of holidays together for the first time 🤧
Long Post™️ so all the sappy and smutty stuff is under the cut 💖
~
Jace finds out Porter gets very into the in-universe equivalent to St Pats or some other big drinking holiday. It’s the one night of the year he has a drink (1) singular. He complains about having a hangover the next day. He doesn’t, he just wants to stay in bed with Jace and cuddle all day. At some point Jace ends up straddling his hips and giving him a back massage. Porter lets him top as a thank you.
Jace’s favorite is a toss up between Halloween and Moonar Yulenear (Brennan why) bc he likes to go all out with decorating and outfits. For both he strives to have the best looking house on whole block. For Halloween his place is a clear winner but for the yulenear his neighbors, a sweet elderly couple, get VERY into it from lights to inflatables, they even decorate all the trees in their yard. He’s secretly hoping they croak soon so he can finally get votes best decoration at the next neighborhood meeting. One day Porter comes home to Jace watching them with binoculars through the blinds and he does have to scoop him up and pull him away. Jace would fight him off but Porter suggests finally going to get their tree and Jace is already halfway out the door.
Porter never really celebrated Halloween but he does make a little list of couples costumes he and Jace could go as. Jace looooooves how into Porter starts to get and adds a few more to the list. They end up putting them all in a hat and pulling Morticia and Gomez Addams for their costumes. Jace already had the perfect dress in mind. He could pull everything else together in time for them to go to Zara’s costume party at the end of the month. Porter says he has the perfect suit and good god he didn’t lie. It’s Perfectly tailored too, fits him in all the right places. Jace can’t wait to have Porter kissing a holding him during the party to play up their costumes.
Otherwise, they spend most evenings after work curled up watching sooo many horror movies. Porter is a big movie buff in general (his dvd collection is massive, he’s always picking a new one for movie nights at the gym) so it turns into him telling Jace movie trivia throughout each one. (He definitely has a letterbox’d account too)
Jace loves when Porter talks film. He likes horror to a degree but anything that isn’t a slasher freaks him tf out especially if it’s supernatural or magical bc he’s like “THATS REAL. THAT COULD GET US.” When they watch the in universe equivalent to paranormal activity Jace clings to Porter the entire night when they go to bed. He lets Jace choose the movie the next night and they ofc end up watching scream for the 2nd time that week.
They both love New Year’s. Jace was made to host. Of course the house is teeming with silver tinsel and streamers, glitter and all things shiny. He even manages to get his hands on a disco ball to hang in the living room. Porter likes to play bartender once the party gets started. It’s nice to have all their friends filling out their house and having a good time. At the end of the night they spend some time cleaning up, Jace so wine drunk and floaty as he collects discarded red solo cups. Porter is off cleaning up the kitchen he’s pretty sure- or at least he was, he can’t hear the clinking of dishes anymore. By the time he finishes his thoughts, Porter is taking the trash bag from him, tying it off, and then scooping up Jace in his arms. “Let’s get you to bed, Love.” Jace doesn’t protest, only wraps his arms around Porter’s neck and lets him whisk him away to their bedroom.
For other holidays, Porter also heavily fucks with Valentine’s Day. Not entirely bc of Jace, he’s always been a secret romantic and the holiday is right up his alley bc he loves gift giving. He’s like exceptionally sappy and thoughtful when it comes to gifts. He starts the day by cooking Jace breakfast and then gifting him something he’s really wanted for a while and also something a bit more practical. For practicality, he gets Jace a little holster for his wand arcane focus bc he always sits it down somewhere and forgets. He knows Jace doesn’t /need/ it to cast, but Jace always looks a little brighter waving it around. As far as what Jace really wants, with Zara’s help, Porter managed to get his hands on a vintage pair of leather boots he’s wanted FOREVER. They weren’t cheap but he started saving for it months ago like the ever prepared man he is.
Jace was never particularly big on Valentine’s Day. He loved when hook ups and past partners used it as an opportunity to take him out somewhere nice tho, but he just.. doesn’t like the societal expectations of it all- until he started seeing Porter. Now he can’t get enough of it. He’s a decent gift giver, but not half as good as Porter. Porter disagrees, he thinks Jace’s gifts are always incredible. He’s never been huge on getting shirts or cologne until Jace. When he puts one of them on and watches how doe eyed Jace gets at the sight or smell of him. It usually ends in him fucking Jace nice and slow and whispering honey-sweet nothings into his boyfriend’s ear. When Jace moans “I love you,” he almost comes right there. They hadn’t said it yet- yeah they moved in together and have been together a year now. They say it in other ways, it didn’t need to be verbal. It coming out on Valentine’s Day of all days makes it feel a little more special to Porter though. He peppers kisses all across Jace’s face. Slotting the words of “I. Love. You. Too” between kisses. Jace falls apart at that, pressing his forehead against Porter’s as he catches his breath and says it again.

I’m not an Olympics girlie (gender neutral) but Porter and Jace being competition and still starting up a very saucy fling under their teammates noses would be very sexy of them~ Sneaking around Olympic village, quickies in empty rooms, stealing kisses in dark corners. Porter holding a hand over Jace’s mouth while he fucks him late into the night so his teammates don’t hear through the walls. Jace is so goddamn loud and the minute this is over he needs to hear him be as loud as possible. They can fly out somewhere coastal and fuck for hours in a private cabana on the beach for all he cares. He wants to win, plans to destroy Jace when they’re in the arena but he’s destroying him now too, working him open, watching him tremble as he takes his cock like the champion he knows he is.
They’re supposed to be rivals, sure. They both plan on winning gold, but all that stress and tension in the air has to go somewhere. Why not take it out on each other? 😘

Gun collector!Jace has me thinking bc the thing about him is that everyone should be very glad he has a handle on his self control bc he is so deadly 💖 (he doesn’t play about gun safety tho)
Like- he’s a very precise caster and a very careful shot. He /does not/ miss unless he wants to make a point. In the early days of him and Porter dating he suggests going to a shooting range. Porter is a little taken aback by it but he thinks Jace just wants him to show off for him. In his head, Porter is thinking he’s not a great shot, he prefers his war hammer or his fists but if Jace is into seeing him shoot, he’s down. He can play the part. Little does he know, Jace wants to show off for him.
When they walk in, several employees greet Jace and Porter is just kinda ‘????’ Because who the hell is this guy? They haven’t been dating long but they’ve worked together long enough for him to say he’s at least familiar with him. Seeing Jace’s focus and precision at work gets him so hard he can’t help it. His sweet, beautiful Jace holding something so big and so deadly and not missing a single shot-?
They barely make it through the evening by the time Porter is dragging Jace to his pick up to fuck him silly. Just- Yeah give that magic man a gun it’s so hot 😮💨
#I’m thinking about killing eve!Au Jace~~~ ily bby#he’s the perfect villanelle I’m TELLING YOU#let the blonde man be an assassin#the amount of times I’ve ended a post about them with Porter taking Jace to his truck to smash is too many but Porter cannot wait to make#that elf come I’m sorry he needs it like he needs air#nsft#blewb rambles

Porter’s favorite food is chicken and rice, he does not stray from it but will make Jace the some of the most delicious food known to man bc he loves taking care of his bf
Jace will always save him a lil bite just in case he’s up for a lil variety but he gets that Porter likes his usual meal bc it’s comfortable to him and he respects that.
Porter appreciates it. He also appreciates that Jace doesn’t question it. A lot of his partners in the past did, which is why he developed the habit of cooking two meals in the first place. He loves cooking, it’s never a huge deal to him but he was nervous the first time he invited Jace over for dinner. Jace didn’t question a thing. They’ve eaten in the breakroom together enough times for Jace to put two and two together. He doesn’t have trouble with food himself currently, but he did when he was younger. If Porter is happy, that’s all that matters.

Scott Pilgrim style crack fic where all 7 of Porter’s exes have formed an adventuring party to come kill him for being such a messy partner.
Porter has to fill Jace in so fast because if there’s anyone he needs to help him defeat them it’s his current boyfriend. Which? Can and most likely will backfire because they all have so much dirt on him it’s insane.
Jace is like “hey, babe.. maybe just talk to them? I don’t like the idea of murdering them bc things didn’t work out.” And Porter is just pleading with him, on his knees BEGGING Jace because, to quote John Mulaney, anyone that’s seen his dick or met his parents has to die. Jace PLEASE.
#I think it’s silly enough that all his toxic traits were just weird things about Porter that gave them the ick#pathetic Porter my beloved you little idiot#*spraying Jace with water like a cat* help your boyfriend before ex number 3 tells you that he pissed himself because a horse scared him#this becomes 10x messier when Porter tells Jace he dated someone from every adventuring party he’s ever been in#so these people are CAPABLE#Jace is sitting there like ‘oh I’m dying soon. cool. I’m dying at the age of 25 I had so much life left to live Porter WHY’#port 🛥️#Jace 💫💎#starbreaker#blewb rambles

speaking of cute clothes have we discussed putting jace in a wedding dress yet
We haven’t but god to we need to 🤧 I’m gonna skip the proposal because I’ll spiral if I think about who proposed to who and how it happened and what sappy shit they said. Like it’ll destroy me.
So just imagine Jace laying in bed with Porter and going “I think I’m gonna wear a dress for our wedding.” And Porter is practically drooling at the thought. He’s so superstitious about things so he’ll try his best to avoid asking to go dress shopping with him but he wants to SO BAD. So instead, Jace gathers his bestie squad of Zara, Corsica, maybe Yolanda too for her insight. They do it up big, they’ve got champagne to sip on, hors d'oeuvres to eat and they’re giving Jace the yes’s and no’s of what works and what doesn’t when he finally steps out of the dressing room in THEE dress. He’s used to wearing flowy robes when he goes back to fallinel so I’d imagine he wears something in that camp. But also something sleek and elegant with gold details to match his eyes. He’s already pale, so he goes for a cream instead of a white so he doesn’t look completely washed out in photos. He would look incredible in anything that accentuates his waist. He also loves a v neck so I’m taking that into consideration too 🤧 A slip dress or a mermaid gown would suit him really well! Also something with a slit so he can show off his long legs (and easy access for Porter later if he chooses not to have a separate dress for the reception)
Pictures & thoughts under a read more bc long post:
1. Simple, elegant a little boring though. But I have to take you on a journey. We’ll get there I promise.
I think this is a dress that everyone (including Jace) would agree doesn’t have enough flare. He could over accessorize to compensate but that’s more hassle and more money when he could just find THEE dress. I also don’t think it would entirely flatter his shape and baby boy deserves to have a dress that fits so right in all the right places while emphasizing his best features (waist, chest, legs)
2. This gown is so gorgeous, so flowy! I love the lace on it and I think the deep v is elegant and tasteful while showing off his chest. The back- oh my god does he deserve a train. It’s perfect for a spring or fall wedding it’s dramatic but sweet. It reminds him of a lighter weight version of something he’d wear in Fallinel. He’d pair it with some really beautiful gold jewelry and to match the wedding bands he and Porter picked out for the ceremony.
3. This one just might be one of my favorites actually! Loooove the deep v that stops above the navel. LOVE. I also can’t get enough of the mesh with the beading the looks like it’s just floating on the skin. The train isn’t overly dramatic. It’s sweet, it’s tasteful. There’s no slit here but he doesn’t mind it. The back is what really sells it for me bc 1. I know Jace’s ass would look in-CREDIBLE in it and 2. Porter would tease Jace so much by running his fingers along his exposed back. They’d have to fight so hard not to sneak off somewhere to fuck. They’re so insufferable!
4. Now THIS is my drama pick. I- Jace would look incredible in this. He can move in it, he can dance in it. It’s BACKLESS. All of the detailing and the silks. The drapery at the top is also really really beautiful. I love the slit and the neckline like- it really looks made for him. It makes me wonder if he’d grow his hair out a little longer for the look so he can have beading and different things pinned to match. I also love that from the back it almost looks like a jumpsuit. It also feels very true to his character art for Junior Year with how he draped his scarf. It’s just.. I think it’s THEE dress. When he looks at himself in the mirror he tears up a bit. The thought of getting married didn’t quite feel real until he sees himself in this and just knows this is the one he wants to marry the love of his life in.

I wonder if Porter views killing Jace differently bc he resurrected him. On the bad days, Jace can’t help reminding Porter that him killing him and taking away his agency for a year was fucked up and it’s something he can’t just /get over/ meanwhile when Porter is in just as bad a mood he throws back that he always intended to bring him back and that Jace is exaggerating.
It’s always the topic that sets them off the most and ends in a screaming match or a full on brawl. Jace never throws spells at Porter that will outright kill him, but he does aim to hurt Porter. And Porter lets him, but he tries to restrain Jace to get him to stop. Either it ends in Porter being downed and Jace leaving for a few days or Porter getting Jace to stop and holding him while he cries.
It’s hard in first few months and honestly the year or two after they’ve both been resurrected and reunited. It’s so goddamn hard but they keep coming back to each other. Eventually it gets drilled into Porter’s head that he murdered Jace and regardless of what came after, Jace still carries the weight of that betrayal and that death. He apologizes and knows it’ll never be enough. Jace forgives him and when the bad days roll around again, they talk it through. They talk and feel whatever emotions come up and they stop letting it come to blows or end in screaming matches.
Jace has fought and kicked and screamed enough, he found his own anger and reclaimed his own rage. He’s just wants to be better. He wants to love Porter without flinching when he pulls out his war hammer.
Porter starts keeping it in the shed, switches to a different weapon for entirely. He doesn’t like seeing Jace scared when he wields his favorite weapon, he’s willing to give it up for Jace’s comfort.
Jace appreciates it, he tells Porter so. He makes sure to tell Porter that he’s glad he’s trying, he doesn’t have to, but he knows the guilt eats his love alive these days. It’s a testament to how far they’ve come, how far Porter has come from telling him his death wasn’t a big deal. Porter also wastes no time to tell Jace how happy he is he’s alive. He likes to document their time together through pictures and videos even if they’re always blurry and so poorly taken. It’s something.
Their home is teeming with pictures now on every walls and every surface. On bigger occasions, Jace makes sure to set up the camera so the shots will come out nice for holiday cards. He stars scrapbooking them as well in secret. When he gifts it to Porter for their five year anniversary, Porter cries. Wrapping Jace up in his arms, absolutely wailing about how much he means to him.
There are still bad days, but they’re few and far between. Outshone by the good, the calm, the blissful. They exist, and sometimes they still do talk about it, trauma comes in waves for Jace. After 10 years they only lap at his feet instead of cresting high above his head like they used to.
Porter sits quietly with his thoughts on the porch of their new home while Jace and their little girl do arts and crafts at the kitchen table. He writes letters to his old self that one day he’ll be kinder, softer, more understanding. Patient. He will get there in time. And Jace will be by his side and one day he’ll feel gratitude instead of immense guilt. He won’t look at Jace and want him to kill him too. An eye for an eye.
They’re dads now, well past the days of hurting each other as a form of therapy. It never worked anyway. Love worked. Talking worked. Waking up every day and choosing each other worked.
There isn’t a day where he doesn’t wake up and choose the life they’ve made together. By the time they’ve adopted their son, it’s been another five years. 15 since they convened in the Aguefort cafeteria. Since they were young and dumb and didn’t know what they were getting into with each other. That years down the line, they’d still be a duo.
Showing up to dance recitals and little league games, going to PTA meetings. A united front, always a duo. Partners in crime, parents, life partners, and lovers. Choosing each other.
