WIP Wednesday :)

"All right, Malfoy. Hop on up—your turn!" "I'm sorry? You cannot be serious." "You're meant to be this fencing champ, aren't you?" "This isn't fencing, this is, this is bopping some fool with a pool noodle—" "I figured it'd be pretty hard to pretend someone didn't exist when the man's whipping your ass at a noodle joust. Right now, it's looking like either that or waiting for loneliness to wear her down…."

I am realising that I very much enjoy the friend match-up of Aleister and Jake.

I didn't quite meet my optimistic hope to get another chapter out on Friday, but 4 days late is forgivable - right? *hides* 😂

💭Jay pushes to regain a memory, but will the results be all she was hoping for? 💭

Memories, chapter 21 of my Endless Summer fic La Huerta

Im steadily getting closer to the end with this one. Still on track for a final chapter count of 30.

Chapter 3: Terra Incognita

Endless Summer post-canon, Vaanu ending / deep space AU / Jake x F!MC / hurt no comfort

He hoped to hear her voice once again, something else than the dreadful message she left them all those years ago, but her answer did not come in words. Instead, what came was a faint echo of her laughter, a memory of the way she looked at him that afternoon after they got married, when they both thought they still had tomorrow. His knees buckled underneath him. She loved him—was glad he found her—was proud of him. Proud. Like he’d done something with his life other than refuse to let go of her. Jake McKenzie stood still on this alien world two and a half million light-years from home with his hands hanging useless at his sides, and cried like a child into a sealed helmet where he couldn’t even wipe his face.

Chapter 2: In Absentia

Endless Summer post-canon, Vaanu ending / deep space AU / Jake x F!MC / hurt no comfort

⊹ .݁˖ ✦ ‧

Two suns. Twin shadows. Two pairs of moons. Everything here came two by two, holding hands. And stayed that way a good few billion years, just to rub it in his face. And then between all these pairs, there was a lonely little rock, Vaanu’s planet, the one where the other half of his heart had to be. Barely a speck of purple light when he first saw it, so small on the viewport he could cover it with his thumb. This your home, Slimer? You keepin’ my girl in a nice neighborhood?

I was asked how long I could sit on my next chapter once it was finished - and I guess I have my answer 🤣

'Symbols' Chapter 20 of my Endless Summer continuation fic La Huerta just posted, making a grand total of two chapters this week. I'm hoping to aim for next Friday for the next one but will have to see how well life decides to play with that.

Due to the length of my fic I have permission from the WIP Big Bang 'finish your sh*t' mods to start posting again in July rather than August.

So here is Chapter 19 of La Huerta, Part 3 of Across the Stars where we have another sunny bonding day for our pair and the group

Chapter 1: Per Aspera ad Astra

Endless Summer post-canon, Vaanu ending / deep space AU / Jake x F!MC / hurt no comfort

⊹ .݁˖ ✦ ‧

You cannot frighten a man with a fall if he’d already hit the ground. Thirty years ago, the universe took Jake's wife away, leaving behind a hole torn in the sky. When a signal starts repeating from the other side of the void--every year and a day, without fail--he knows exactly who is asking for help. Project Perseus is a one-way ticket to a dead planet in the Andromeda galaxy. For the rest of the crew, it's a suicide mission. For Jake, it's the only chance to get her back.

Consider this your official warning. A new ES WIP is in the drafting phase, and 'Hurt No Comfort' is once again not a suggestion. I do not know what's wrong with me and I am so sorry in advance to my two beloved babies and anyone who ships them. You are not safe here.

AKA: a fic in which Taylor picked the Vaanu ending, and Jake never forgot his promise to find her again.
