Complementary Art piece to my new fic "Eye" on Ao3

Short preview under the cut

Ft. Milner was a bust. Well, it’s not like Alex expected any different. She’d done this enough times already. Clarissa jumped and ran off, and Alex feigned concern as best she could.

They were heading back to the tower in silence, thankfully. She knew all of Jonas’s lines by now. Letting him, or any of the others, finish their sentence was a test of patience now. And god, does is get harder every time. How the hell do theater kids do this?

“Okay, this might sound really weird—” Oh goodie more time to practice. “—but it feels- mmm. Kinda weird to hear your voice.” Alex barely got the time to cock an eyebrow before Jonas opened his mouth again, frantically trying to cover his ass, “Like! Not bad-weird! It’s nice! Your- Your voice is nice, I like hearing it!

It’s just.. It feels like I went an eternity without hearing it. Which, I mean, I guess we kinda did. We didn’t know each other before tonight, but…”

“Are you going to bring him back?” The question is a knife burying into Jonas’s chest, even as he’s saying it. He says it even though it hurts. He says it because one of them needs to. Alex shuffles her feet on the cement steps of the parks building, lips pressed together like she’ll never open them again. She finally whispers, “I have to,” her voice shaking, and Jonas wants to reach out to her, or to shrug and say “Don’t worry about it, I’ll be fine.” But the words get stuck in his throat. He’s never been a very good liar.

Hello all! I have made many fun changes to this fic, both part 1 and part 2, and have now just posted a new chapter! I hope y’all enjoy!

22, 23, 31 pretty please i am nosy

22. Is there anything you regret writing?:: Not really 😅 I mean, some feels ‘cringe’ on later reread, but they were all things I enjoyed in the moment and they all contributed to my growth as a writer in one way or another. No use regretting things. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

23. Name a fic you’ve written that you’re especially fond of & explain why you like it.:: I love all of my fic, for the most part xD I’m very proud of my own work, it’s a problem lmao. I have very few finished pieces, so one of the jonalex (oxenfree) rp fics I wrote with @h4mm132l1c3 (So It Goes) is high on the list cause it’s a finished work with an epilogue (2 epilogues) and all, and I was proud of making Vonnegut references lol. But another I’m super fond of is my (unfinished) emsider (dishonored) fae au Iron and Gold, and the silly (but also emotional friends to lovers!) jonalex reality tv + bartender au fic I did, Lucky in Love. Also my Dead By Daylight Frank/oc fic Unwilling Survivor, cause it introduced Sam. I could never pick a single work, I’m sorry, lmao. 😅

31. What’s the nicest thing someone has ever said about your writing?:: I have had some lovely lovely things said, and I remember them all. @anomiidae left these amazing tags on a post about Unwilling Survivor, I love those. I got a couple different comments on A Helping Hand from disabled readers that said I handled things well, and that was amazing to hear, not to mention the amazing rec from Inky that brought tears to my eyes and I read to my family lmao (to be fair I was with family when it posted and I was smiling like an idiot at my phone). Also, when @artpraeda made art for Holy Spirits (the jonalex bartender au), I died 🥹

fanfic asks 44 and 49!! go gogo

-Sher

44. What is your all time favourite fanfic?:: This feels incredibly mean 😅 I hate to pick favorites, I have different ones for every fandom and ship. Overall, though, @sarsaparillia ’s jonalex (Oxenfree) fic Once More With Feeling (also on tumblr) always gives me soooo many emotions. Absolutely poetic. Amazing.

(Some of my fave quotes from that fic:)

49. How did you get into reading and/or writing fanfiction?:: I’m betting I followed a link on whatever that old hp fan site was in 2001. Muggle something? Mugglenet? I don’t remember. And I probably followed a link to schnoogle or fiction alley or something. Idk, I was like 9 xD

“Are you going to bring him back?” The question hits me hard in the ribs. My heart whispers “yes”, but my tongue feels swollen and heavy, and my teeth are like bars jailing my guilty conscience. My sneakers scratch over the cement steps of the parks building on Edward’s Island, the lamplight hanging high above us, buzzing ambiently. I can’t look at him. I can’t look at Jonas and tell him that he isn’t enough. That he isn’t really my brother. I can’t tell him that because it’s not true.

Chapter 15 has just been uploaded!! Thank you all so much who commented and left kudos on the last chapter, it absolutely made my whole week. <3

Thank you all who have been patiently waiting for a chapter update; this chapter is brought to you by academic burnout and self-indulgent writing.
