posting an excerpt from my jacemond x obsession au wip bc i miss posting on here :3
âI just want you to be Jace.â Jaceâs expression shatters. He throws his head back and emits a low, grisly wail from the base of his throat. âI canâtttttt.â He cries, words drawn out like the whine of a misbehaving toddler in the midst of a tantrum. It leaves Aemond stunnedâunsure of how to proceed when the boy is so delicately unraveling before him. Not at all like the Jace he knows. He finds that he can only stare at the boy with a widened eye, jaw slack as his mouth threatens to hang open for a moment. He comes back to himself with a shake of his head. âYou are Jace.â He insists, moving in closer until he can touch Jace. He grabs him by the shoulders, a gentle yet firm grip. âSo just be Jace.â âI canât, I canât.â The boy sobs, tears spilling down his cheeks. He shakes his head over and over, like a damaged record set on a loop.
