Year: 2025

Summary:

The bomb is ticking. Jason can feel it – the steady, insistent thrum deep in his chest. It’s like a second heartbeat, one that’s cold and mechanical, indifferent to everything around it. The seconds stretch out, and with each one, the weight of what’s coming presses harder on him. He can’t do anything. It’s already set in motion. The explosion, the fire, the blood. It’s all waiting. He knows how this ends. He’s lived it. Over and over, in his mind, in his nightmares. But now, it’s different. Now, he’s trapped on the other side, watching, helpless. He’s not the one charging in to save the day. He’s the one standing here, broken, powerless. Jason can’t stop this in any way. He can either close his eyes or watch, the outcome will never change. And the boy doesn’t know. God, the boy doesn’t know. He fucking hates it.

Submitter's comment:

a really good portrayal of jason's isolation & some of the best-written imagery i've found in fanfic.
