Edge of a Knife ~ An SI5 Fanfic | Masterpost
The last thing Jacobi wants to do with his summer is spend a week of it trapped in a car with Kepler (and Maxwell, but she’s more tolerable. She is supposed to be his best friend after all). He hates the way he can’t look away from him, hates the way Kepler can suck him in with a raised eyebrow and a half smile, hates the way that one glance leaves his heart pounding and his hands shaking. It’s like he’s not even trying. He especially hates it when Kepler somehow contracts a very deadly, very inconvenient disease that might kill him before they ever reach California-one that might not be an accident.
Wordcount: (unfinished, should be about 35k)
Genre: Slowburn, angst, origin story, pre canon
Warnings: Past self harm, talk of self harm, unhealthy relationship, parental abuse, vomit, sexual content, extreme sickness (dw guys I tage each chapter separately it’s not all at once. I’ll update this as needed.)
A/N: This was/is being written for @wolf359bigbang2017 ! I am super excited about it, as it’s the longest fic I’ve ever attempted and I am so not ready to let go of team Jacobi just yet. Thank you to my artist @drakanekurashiki !!!
