a friend sent me this post and ohmy god. JEROLUKE. JEROLUKE JEROLUKE JEROLUKKKEEE

jerome capturing luke and whittling away at luke's sanity until he breaks and blocks off his most precious memories with the nxx team and latches onto jerome instead. just so he has an anchor. and because the memories of the team have become so painful with yearning to return to them

jerome doesnt kill him though. he knows luke can be verrrryyy useful as a test subject and also as an obedient guard dog.

plus it would give jerome immense pleasure to have luke as a prize as well

// tot main story 15 spoilers

okay this post is WHOLLY just my delusional toxic yaoi jeroluke ramblings but.

HOLYYYY SHITTTTT I WAS SO WELL FED JEROLUKE-WISE WITH THIS CHAPTER I WAS STRAIGHT UP FEASTINGGGGG

like before jerome revealed himself to be oedipus, the sheer tension that luke and jerome's interactions had, ooaaugghhhh

and then when jerome finally admits it, he does in a way that taunts luke. he dangles their deal and luke's illness and luke's desperation for a cure as blackmail (which i love that jerome doesnt call blackmail, he calls it a "win-win situation", classic #jeromeisms)

and then holy shiiiit after the negotiation, the way jerome makes it personal for rosa by using luke as his hostage against her, by using him as a bargaining chip. hoooolllyyyy fuccckkk.

like these lines....thats low, jerome. but it's so good, using the very life of rosa's beloved childhood friend against her

it's just. im kinda obsessed with how strategic jerome's deal with luke was. he gets a lab rat to experiment on, he gets an NSB agent to blackmail, he gets leverage against rosa at the most critical moment. it's unclear if this was his plan from the very beginning or if he just used the tools he had as he went along but either way i just love how jerome uses luke like he owns him. even if in the end, he wasnt successful due to our wonderful amazing rosa's unwavering belief in justice and goodness, just the fact he DID ALL THAT, hoo boy, it fed me so well.

he's such a good antagonist im obsessed with him

just found out from the wiki that jerome is 28..... it's not much (it is ONLY 4 YEARS IT'S A MERE SPECK) but the 4 year age difference between him and luke is making my neurons activated like fireworks. you think because hes older, jerome is also a teensy bit taller than luke? thinking about luke having to tilt his head up to meet jerome's gaze, and jerome loves the feeling of literally being looked up at. jeroluke.... jeroluke....AUGH

i... dont know how to explain myself for this one, folks. post main story 15, i was simply possessed by a demon that demanded jeroluke and luke whump and i had to follow that demon’s orders lest i go mad.

likes, reblogs, kudos, comments, and tag rambles are welcome! i hope someone out there uh…enjoys (???) this. hmm... “enjoy” doesnt seem right but idk how else to say it bLJKBSLFJ.

ugghhhh thinking about jeroluke again and realizing that at the core of their dynamic is.... desperation and response. in canon, luke falls into his agreement to be jerome's guinea pig because of his desperation for to alleviate his condition, and jerome responds to his desperation with a solution. jerome swoops in to satisfy whatever need luke so desperately is searching for. this inherently results in a relationship that is always imbalanced: luke is grasping for something, anything to keep him afloat, and jerome posits himself as the savior, the provider, the one to give him the thing hes on his knees for. in canon, thats his desperate desire for a cure. and in AUs....

even in teacher's pet, which is an AU, this dynamic is apparent (though it was wholly by accident, im just realizing it in hindsight HAHA): luke was desperate to be different, he wanted to be special and unlike anyone else, and jerome responded to that desperation by initiating a "special" relationship.

it's so fucky to me in the best way because with this dynamic, jerome can always shut luke down and say "i didnt do anything wrong, after all...you begged for this"

every time i make a jeroluke au it's just this. SORRY LUKE.
