I’ve stumbled across my first Jack/Simon fanfiction, and I can only say I am very pleasantly surprised. The idea has never crossed my mind as Jack and Simon barely interact in the original story, but then neither do Roger and Simon, who are quite often employed as foils in the Jack/Ralph stories.
All of these ships have interesting dynamics, but then I realize Jack/Simon would probably be the ultimate yin and yang combination - Simon is quiet, Jack is loud-mouthed. Simon is introverted, Jack is extroverted. Simon is timid, Jack is confident. Simon is nice, Jack is quite ruthless.
They are the ultimate polar opposites of the book, more than any other two characters, and the idea of a small, shy simon holding some sort of control over the wild, big bully Jack, who cannot be controlled by anyone, is absolutely beautiful.
