    Summary

    If he could put it into words, Jack would lay out the timeline of his downfall from the airplane with Rachel to the day he bought his first suit and sold out to an immoral three piece.

    He'd dig up the letters he wrote but never had the nerve to send.

    He'd say, I waited for you too.

    Summary

    “Stop being so repressed," Eric says when Jack refuses to go to a party. "One day you’ll wake up and realize your whole life passed by without you having any fun. And I hope that day happens before you’re 80. Think about it.” Jack glares at his notes.

    The comment still itches under Jack's skin after his last midterm is in. He doesn’t like overthinking. He wants to be free and try things. He's just too in his head. With that thought, it's like the universe hears him. Somehow that night, he finds himself stumbling into a predominantly gay party. While trying to push his comfort zone, he unexpectedly runs into his roommate.

    Summary

    Oh, Jack is so dead. It’s one hundred percent possible Jack Hunter has begun his new life here at Pennbrook only to die shortly upon getting there. Because there’s definitely a rule about not being in love with your roommate and Jack is currently staring into the eyes of a one way ticket to ‘You’re gonna be so fucking gone over this idiot’-ville.

     

    “What are you doing?” Jack pitches his voice low on purpose, a reminder to himself and Eric that they are men, thank you, and should totally not be this close to each other’s faces unless someone is choking. He clutches his jacket like a life preserver.
    “Loving you with my eyes,” Eric croons at him while Jack send frantic SOS signals to any deity paying attention to please make this stop.

    (Opening moment happens in Witches of Pennbrook S5 E5, most of fic set in a hand-wavey part of season 7 after Eric cuts his hair and they move back in together.)

    Summary

    "I don't get him," Eric says, and it's probably the truest thing he's said about Jack so far. Because if Jack likes blue, and Jack likes the Godfather Part 2, and Jack knows all the words to the songs on the CDs Eric puts in the player he brought from the bedroom he used to share with his little brother, then why is Jack so much better at this?
