#j2jace

[whoblewboobear]

Was contemplating if I should finish this j2jace smut now and ruin my sleep schedule but I’m gonna be responsible and go to bed (at 1 am, I have failed) Anyway have a lil sneak peek:

[j2zara]

I have jokingly called Porter my Miranda priestly the way I was a slow boiled frog trauma bonded to his bullshit in Junior Year but I realized that if we like j2jace. We have GOT to stick Bluejay and Jace in a devil wear’s Prada au. I need editor of Runway Jace absolutely terrorizing his frumpy assistant Bluejay in his cerulean clearance bin sweater in a way that is undeniably homoerotic. I couldn’t do that, Jace. I couldn’t do what you did to Yolanda. You already did. To j3. But what if this isn’t the life for me? What if I don’t want to be like you? Don’t be silly, Bluejay. Everybody wants to be us <3

Man Jace is always fucking people that would or could kill him I just caught the bastard trying to fuck slade wilson

[hauntedwizardmoment]

STOP J3 BEING AT THE BOTTOM MFMDMDMDK. Just like the Beatles: Zara and Lucilla BOTH have the the nickname as “the fifth Jace” or “the forgotten Jace” in that their contributions often go unrecognized by the mainstream or casuals but ppl who are deep into it recognize how vital they are to the whole thing. ACTUALLY. You know what. We can go further on Beatles lore. J3 can ALSO be yoko ono. J3 started sleeping w Porter and annoying ppl who don’t know shit are like “you know j3 is the reason the Jaces / the followers broke up” and like. Sure that was annoying when that happened and causes a strain on everyone’s relationships but the Jaces broke up bc of j2jace or j2j4 creative differences. Or a jaceporter vs the clones conflict in that prioritizing money and business got in the way of friendship. Well. “Friendship”

GODDDDD ITS SO GOOD. j2 and jace are sooooo toxic codependency enmeshed a la johnpaul but. they can also be a little oasis-coded in that they always have some shit to say about the other one to the press. jace is out there calling j2 a corporate sellout and a slut who's only the lead singer and frontman because he's fucking porter. j2 fires back that jace a control freak who can't stand to not be the center of attention for five seconds. then they get back in the studio and make the best music theyve ever made.

and poor j4 is like. she's literally too weird for their boys club. she has more experimental influences and gets shut out of the creative conversations because jace thinks its pretentious, meaningless garbage and j2 thinks it won't sell. so she goes to j3 who will actually hear her out and work with her on her stuff. and also breathe into her mouth while they make love. but she doesnt extend the same respect to him because well. he's j3! he's not even the best drummer in the band! come on, be serious for a minute!

and augh j3 being the bitch that broke the band up... he should be allowed to get messy and pick fights with people because of it. his solo career gives him enough money for him to never have to work again and he spends the rest of his days burning professional and personal bridges just because he can. hes never liked any of you people anyways!

[whoblewboobear]

The implications of Jace taking a liking to J2 after so long is so fun bc as much as he has finally come to the realization that he cares about Blue and appreciates how unwaveringly kind and caring he is despite how shitty he was to him. He’s also a little jealous of Porter. Because if Porter couldn’t love him right, he sure as fuck can’t be loving sweet, strange, little Bluejay right.

If no one is gonna love him J2 right, he’ll just do it himself. 🤷🏼‍♂️ He does hate when the little voice in his head calls it self care. It’s a lot kinder than the one that tells him it’s pathetic to be pursuing himself.

But the more he spends time with Blue, the more he dotes on him, The more he realizes that J2 is different. He hasn’t been like Blue for a long time. They’re similar, that was always going to be true. They shared a face, they shared memories to a point. But Blue could and had interpreted a lot of them through his own lens. A kinder lens. Where Jace had torn himself to shreds, Blue bandaged the wounds, kissed the scars and hoped to heal stronger. He didn’t live it, but he admired Jace for coming this far. That.. changed things. Made them a bit clearer.

For once he didn’t have to lay himself bare, J2 knew him completely, he didn’t need to.

How refreshing.

@innskeep I’m probably gonna knock out again but I got a long day ahead of me and have other wips I should be finishing but. I was gonna reply to this but got possessed instead

[j2zara]

J2jace thoughts… I think it could be fun (for who? for me I guess) if Jace had like a sick day or something and he was forced to rely on j2 to take care of him or something. Jace seething and it’s like. So bad he’s having surges n not wanting anyone to see that but kinda having to just accept it. J2 being gentle w him. Knowing how to deal w him. And j2 has all kinds of obligations to Porter n maybe Jace is trying to brush him off get him out of the house but j2 is just like. It’s ok. Porter can wait

[j2zara]

Maybe Jace’s resentment toward j2 is like. What he owes to j2 in a way that he doesn’t feel like he owes to the other clones. I think to some degree he does love j2. I think if j2 simply wanted Porter to himself, Jace would understand him way more than he understands this person who loves Porter with his whole being and somehow also loves Jace, still cares abt Jace’s wellbeing. You should hate me. You don’t. I think the answer is. That j2 feels like. How could I hate you when you want what I want.

[j2zara]

sorry i’m obsessed with the j2jace dynamic. they should be locked in a room and forced to talk about their feelings. and then make out about it

One of the fucked up dynamics of all time. I think about it almost as much as I think about LJ3 and J2porter, which is saying something. They really are such horrible little foils for each other and the worst part is that they don't even have the courtesy to make each other better like LJ3. J2's personality as The Acolyte came as such an accident imo, but it's also where he was destined to end up! The only way i could feel settled in the ending of Almost was if J2 at least managed to make a marginal amount of peace with his lot in life and. Becoming the acolyte is how he did that. He wants this. He wants everything. Porter deserves everything! Like. Him worshiping the starbreaker pantheon was not my original intention, but i think to accept Porter in his totality, J2 must also find room in his heart to love Jace.

And like. Jace is so so unbelievably fucked as like. He places J2 at the top of the clone pecking order. It was such an indulgence when i added Jace telling him like, you better be the one going with Porter to the mountains of chaos. But i think it irreparably fucked their dynamic forever (Positive? Hopefully?) b/c like. Jace is so so so unbelievably jealous that he frankensteined his perfect replacement for Porter but ALSO. I love Porter too much to get rid of you. I love porter too much to spare you from his wrath. Even if that means you get to be the recipient of his love and not me.

And in making J2 the perfect acolyte, i think jace is horrified that this is someone who is so desperate to be loved that. He has no qualms about Porter's vision. J2 is always seen as the sweet clone and he is! But Jace at least tried to draw lines on what he would and would not put up with (in cloneverse anyway) and J2. Frankly. Is nicer to the ratgrinders than Jace is but if god asked him to sacrifice his children he would say which one! He's so. I am my mother's child i'll love you til my breathing stops ill love you til you call the cops on me coded.

I am thinking abt what would happen if they got locked in a room and forced to talk about their issues. I honestly don't know if they would have the capacity to be that forthright with each other. At least. Definitely not jace. I don't think he could bring himself to ask like. How could you possibly love me after everything? (and the answer is b/c porter does. It's easy to see through Porter's eyes). J2 is earnest so maybe. But also he's operating on so much self denial that like. Could he ever ever ever bring himself to even voice the question of like. Why have I never been good enough for you? Why didn't you make me good enough so that you could love me? I don't know. In some ways, Jace is jealous b/c J2 is better. In some ways, jace is horrified b/c J2 is somehow so much worse.

[j2zara]

thinking so hard about jace being the andrew lloyd webber to j2’s sarah brightman. augh. when j2’s always over at jace’s home for “private working sessions” so jace can “help j2 with his songwriting” or something. thats clearly just a thinly veiled excuse to keep j2 to himself for a week

I like how no matter what universe we stick J2 in, his brain never stops getting cooked. Lord Andy's whole "i am a weird old guy and going to foster the talent of this young ingenue b/c she's a genius and only i can see it" thing is like. Hm. I wonder why you were drawn to phantom. Anyway peace and love to sarah brightman but i think he mostly. was a little preoccupied by the fact that he's an old guy who had a thing for her. Am i being a total asshole to posit that. Like. Actually J2's instincts are good for real and he is talented (he might even be better than jace. B/c this is metaphor for spellcasting)

And they do get a lot of working done in those sessions but like they get a lot of other stuff done too. obviously.

And as usual i think J2 is convinced the others are not gonna care about him or that LJ3 are too busy breathing into each others mouths to notice so he's like if i just spend a week at Jaceporter's place who is gonna notice. J4. J4 is gonna notice. She comes barging in like hey you went no contact for a week and he's like we've literally been working on the album?? check this out. And she’s baffled but also gets distracted by talking music shop.

Anyway this kinda feels parallel to J2porter 50s housewife roleplay but like the opposite b/c J2 is a houseguest but like you know how he is. He's like squirming over being the least bit of an imposition and refuses to even ask for a glass of water b/c he doesn't want to be a bother. Jaceporter are like help yourself and he always manages to find the oldest, weirdest cup nobody uses at the very back of the cabinet as a drinking glass. He tries to clean and do the dishes out of guilt meanwhile Jace through grit teeth is like Porter if you let J2 near the sink i will kill you. (He doesn't really give a shit about j2 but will be damned if they're not gonna be good hosts). He ran out of things to wear b/c it was so impromptu and Jace would never let it show but he is ecstatic b/c now it means he gets to treat J2 like his own personal little dress up doll and fawn over him a bit. (he lets J2 keep some of it or gives it as a gift but not without making a comment abt it being like. Well i no longer have any use for this anyway. I suppose it can be yours. b/c he's jace)

[whoblewboobear]

submitting this as part of the j2jace dynamic. jace loves playing dressup with j2 and cannot be held responsible for what he does afterwards

YES AGHHHH i love this so much, Jess!!!! One day Jace looks over and sees j2 in the most god awful outfit (it's not even that bad, its just very beach bum kinda vibes and Jace cant stand it bc elmville is nowhere near coastal so in his mind J2 looks so fcking weird rn) and just goes "meet me in my room now."

J2 fully tries to run down a list of things Jace could be mad at him about, wonders if jace found his stash of stolen goods. He wasn't seeing Porter without jace being there most days so it couldnt be that.. He finished all the tasks given to him- but when he gets up there and Jace just waves him over to the closet? Then he's giving him his full attention, tutting over him, dressing him up??? Blue is just sooo floored. Like just so damn giddy about it. He does try not to lose it bc Jace is so close; holding up different tops up to his body, spraying him with the cologne he wears all the time, he can even feel jace's breath on his neck as he adorns him with the pearl necklace jace only wears if Porter is taking him somewhere special.

He is of jace so ofc he's starting to get worked up from all the attention. He never gets to feel too good, especially if jace has anything to say about it. By the time he's slipping out of the 5th outfit hes trying to hide how hard he is. Jace sees it, he loves knowing j2 is just as into this as he is. Seeing J2 wound tight, happy and styled to perfection just makes him wanna tear the clothes off a little quicker.

[j2zara]

thinking about j2jace. jace giving him a kiss as an apology after he’s been horrifically mean. really putting j2 in the torment nexus.

I'M THINKING AND ITS LIKE. J2's been through it for the day and after an entire day of Jace bossing him around and being even more dickish than usual for whatever reason, maybe Porter and J2 had a moment, or again J2 being a better spellcaster and jace is threatened by that, or maybe it has nothing to do with J2 at all. And he's taking it out on j2 all day being particularly cruel. But at the end of the day he's like. J2. Come here. and so J2 comes because he always does. and Jace asks like. J2 is there anything you want? And J2 doesn't understand. He asks. what? and Jace even more sharply is like. Is there anything you want that I can do for you? he asks again a bit softer. it's not a trick. It's not a test, but J2 still feels scrutinized under his gaze. But it's an earnest question. However, j2 kinda just ducks his head and is like. No. Nothing at all. (Because he has everything he wants, right?) And Jace kind of shakes his head and is like. Ok then come here. Kind of. Pulls J2 near, takes J2's face in his hands. Stares at him a moment, and then just gives him an honest to god real and true kiss. Before sending him away again. Leaving J2 reelinig

[j2zara]

You know how. in big fandoms if you don't like the main ship it's kinda torturous. maybe if you're just an original name brand Starbreaker enjoyer this has already been the vibe for you but the idea in my head of there being like 2-3 people in the circle of perverts with their secret rarepair like. J2J3 trutherism or something, like. seething b/c the rest of us won't shut up about J2jace and LJ3 is so fucking funny to me. I'm sorry. If your favorite configuration is a rarepair you should tell me tho i wanna know what it is so i can ponder the implications im j3-coded and want it all

[j2zara]

And what if I said Jace’s neglect and Porter’s control of J2 were two sides of the same coin and born of the same rot. What then

[j2zara]

I can make fun of Bluejay all I want for being a sucker for Jace’s weird pseudosexual mean girl domming routine but who am I to judge truly. I am not immune to watching Erin Goodnight Moon’s Mean Girl Gives You A Makeover ASMR Video at least [Siobhan Thompson voice] eight thousand times

[j2zara]

There is something so “it’s rotten work” “not to me, not if it’s you” about j3j4 isn’t there
