@wirelies​     ♡‘d     for chell & ellis.

her silence has always been her greatest asset.    the wailing carried by the wind makes chell hold up a hand,    however reluctant she is to interrupt his story.    quiet never did mean saftey    --    only insolence and determination.    background noise is always nicer.    ‘    other way.    ’    anything to make life easier.

jon knows trying is not enough.      knows it with a certainty far beyond what the beholding has ever given him with its slivers of information      —      bone - deep,      that knowledge,      that voice that tells him nothing he does will ever be enough and everyone around him will fall prey to the fears and there is nothing,      nothing,      nothing he can do about it.      no way to save them.      he is doing his best to ignore that last part,      but it’s difficult when every step seems to be in the wrong direction,      every choice leading further down a path he does not want to be on.

‘      i’m not recording.      i      —      i swear,      ’            and jon’s turning out his pockets,      proof positive that there are no recorders on him,      because god knows tim won’t believe him otherwise.      he’d made certain he hadn’t accidentally grabbed one on his way down here,      and if one follows him anyway and pops up mid - conversation he can hardly be blamed for that,      can he?      curious little bastards.            ‘      they      —      they follow me,      sometimes,      just show up,      but i.      i told them not to.   …            it sounds incredibly stupid when i say it aloud like that,      but      —      if anything in there is listening,      hopefully they’ll listen to that and leave us alone.      ’            it’d felt wrong,      not bringing one.      he doesn’t say that.      doesn’t need to,      really,      the way his hands fidget and he listens for the comfort of tape static,      but      …      tim wouldn’t have trusted him.      he wants tim to trust him.      same reason he’s carefully avoiding phrasing anything as a question,      just in case static unspools from his tongue instead of words.      (      saying      :      this is not the archivist.      this is jonathan sims,      reaching out.      is anyone receiving?      )

‘      right,      of      —      of course.      ’            some hopeful bit of him grabs hold of the fact that tim’d said we’re on the same side as elias,      like the two of them were some kind of unit,      opposed      (      at least      )      to that.      probably doesn’t mean that much.      probably he’s looking for meaning where there isn’t any,      grasping for straws.            ‘      i just want      —      ’            and how goddamn honest does jon want to be,      here?           (      i want us to be friends again.      i want to know what i can say to make you believe i’m not suddenly some evil monstrosity.      i want you to stop hating me.      i want sasha back just as badly as you do.      i want to save everyone.      i want to apologize in a way that you’ll believe.      is any of that so much to ask?      )            ‘      i know that there is nothing i can say to fix any of this.      i know that.      but i will do whatever i can to keep things from getting worse      —      i don’t want you,      or martin,      or melanie,      or,      or anyone getting hurt because of me.      trying isn’t enough,      i know,      but it’s all i’ve got,      right now.      and i am trying.      ’

tim lights up like a torch,    but it’s mean and false and yes,    a little uncanny.    his eyes lie when they ignite,    when his eyebrows shoot up to his hairline.    he sits back into his hip,    bares his teeth.    ‘    oh!    ’    a cruel little hiss.    ‘    you told them!    well,    that must mean    --    ’    even now,    he knows when he needs to shut up.    holding his tongue had been a lesson hard-learned but learned all the same and he always feels a little stab of pride when he keeps himself contained.    it’s ill-placed now.    makes him feel a little bit sick,    if he’s honest.    he huffs and shoves his fists in his pockets just for something to do with the damn things.

jon’s never been so open with him.    he feels bad    --    really,    he does.    when had everything become so hard to believe?    he wants to trust jon.    he wants to stop carrying this molten ball of hatred and fear around with him,    put it down somewhere it won’t burn and take comfort in his friends again,    but he can’t.    he has to stay where he’s certain,    and all of this heat had always been so familiar.    guilt.    it always comes back to guilt,    to wanting things to be different but knowing he isn’t a big enough person to make them so.    he’s afraid.    always has been,    always will be.    ‘    don’t do anything stupid.    ’

he surprises himself.    it’s readable on his face before he resets his jaw and fixes his snarl.    ‘    ridiculous thing to ask, i know,    what with talking to you,    and all.    but even so.    not to mention i don’t know if you can actually...    y’know.    ’    it’s only partly selfish.    he doesn’t want jon to die.    not his jon,    who always thought he looked more sullen than he did,    who could be hilarious when he wanted and even more so when he didn’t.    tim misses him but can’t find him in the man in front of him and it makes his head pound.    ‘    i just know you’ve got a penchant for going missing when the road gets rocky.    ’
