I ran into this hc through a fanfic that was based on a tweet, but I adore the idea that whatever the original feels, the evil copy feels a mirrored version of it.
It makes the Jax x evil Jax ship so much more powerful. Im just giggling and kicking my feet at the idea that while Jax was sitting there wishing for evil Jax to drop dead, evil Jax was becoming obsessed and falling deeply in love with Jax.
Just love the idea that after the attack, evil Jax got flustered and wished he could scar because he would worship every inch of those teeth marks on his side.
Love the idea that when EJ complimented Jax, he was being 100% genuine
Adore the idea that EJ was purposely egging Jax on because for every little bit of hatred Jax felt, EJ felt the same amount of love.
Jax says he wants EJ dead and EJ has to act scared but he secretly really really wants Jax to tear him to pieces.
