"Even when Evangeline was stone, she was still soft."

Jacks, The Ballad of Never After

I’m not over this. This was so... tender of him. Like... what a way to describe her.

A Curse for True Love🦊🍎💔

I don't know what to say, but uh...I mean OUABH and TBONA were just so quirky and clever titles and this one was like just...meh? I guess I'm saying I'm a little disappointed ☹️

JACKS'S POV SNEAK PEEK 🤩🍎

I am so giddy seeing this small letter and the first page of Jacks's POV found only in the Barnes and Noble edition.

I'm trying to make out the words that bleed through the page, but all I got was: "If I had any of those virtuous feelings..."

Either way, I know I will not be able to stop talking about it 🥰

Here are the first reactions to Jacks's POV from Jordan Gray back in March 💕🍎🦊

EvaJacks Fic - Deleted Scene 🦊

soooo remember when Jacks and Eva are leaving the Fortuna house...

We get to see their carriage ride to the Fortuna house but not from the Fortuna house. So, I wrote something that I thought could go down :))

Mostly Eva POV but some Jacks POV at the end. 

These are Jacks last words to Eva before this scene:

“You’re getting better at the meanness, Little Fox. But you have to have a working heart for it to break. I do not. I can keep Apollo under this spell for eternity. So you can either marry him and save him from a life of misery, or you can try to prevent a dusty prophecy that you don’t even understand.” 

Evangeline’s mind whirled over Jack’s last words. Would Jacks really leave Apollo to suffer if Evangeline didn’t marry him? His smile when he spoke had seemed cruel enough. Evangeline decided she didn’t have a choice. She didn’t think she could live with the possibility of Apollo being heartbroken forever…and all because of her.

Evangeline picked at her nails, dutifully ignoring Jacks across the carriage, even as her thoughts strayed in his direction. What could Jacks want with her and the Valory Arch? The Matriarch seemed fearful that Evangeline would fulfill the prophecy. Strangely fearful. So much so that she’d broken from the spell of Evangeline’s kiss. Evangeline couldn’t help the sinking feeling in her stomach that she was falling right into Jack’s plans. It felt like hanging off a cliff with a dark abyss under her. She could feel a terrible fate coming but couldn’t seem to figure out what it was or how to get out. 

She stole a glance at Jacks. Her eyes widened in surprise as she found him already looking at her. Something tingled in her stomach and traced its way to her hand in a delicate dance. 

She hadn’t expected to find him staring at her. Even after the events of today, Evangeline couldn’t stop likening Jacks to a tortured but breathtaking angel.

“Staring at me again?” Jacks crooned.

“You were staring at me first.” Evangeline pointed her finger at him. Jacks finally tore his gaze from her eyes to glance at her pointed finger. He smirked and spoke again.

“Little Fox, I was merely observing. I wouldn’t stare at the future princess of the North. You’re promised to another.” 

“Only because you’re forcing us to.” She retorted.

“Yes, that is true, isn’t it.” He murmured so low she almost couldn’t make out the words. Maybe she imagined them because his next words carried his arrogant, cold tone. 

“Amazing how quickly you moved from your ‘true love’ to another man. Richer and handsomer.” His cruel gaze slid to her. “I suppose that’s all it takes to pull your gaze.”

The heat rushing through Evangeline switched from delicate dancing to a raging bonfire. Jacks would think the worst of her. She’d lost Luc twice and was heartbroken over it. Ending up as Apollo’s fiancé had never been her plan. She was just making the best of her situation. 

“You’re being cruel again, Jacks.”

“I’m just considering the facts. Not even a few months difference. Do you even know what heartbreak is?” Jacks continued. 

“Don’t be ridiculous. I was hurting.” She wouldn’t let him tell her differently.

“Then you have a misguided definition of love and loyalty. True love doesn’t look like that.” His tone was cool, guarded and emotionless, just like his expression. And those words hit a truth Evangeline didn’t want to admit—that maybe Luc didn’t truly love her.

“Just because you’re loveless and broken, it doesn’t mean you have to throw it onto other people.” Evangeline retorted. She was tired of his cruel, too-close to-the-truth words.

 But Evangeline’s fire burned away when she saw his eyes flash with pain. He covered it up quickly. She doubted she would have seen it if she hadn’t been looking straight into his eyes. Once she voiced the words, she felt inexplicably sorry. Even if he was harsh to her, she hadn’t meant to hurt him. Honestly, she didn’t think she could. 

“Jacks.” She spoke his name softly, her tone apologetic. 

“Little Fox, I couldn’t—“

“No.” She pushed a finger up against his mouth. Gosh, this finger had a mind of its own today. How she ended up with her hand on his lap, her finger against his lips, and her body leaned halfway across the carriage she had no idea. She was almost afraid to meet his gaze. So she focused on where her finger laid against his mouth. 

He hadn’t so much as breathed and neither had she. She let out a shaky breath. 

“Don’t reply with another cruel response. We don’t need to be mean to each other.” She spoke to his lips. “I’m sorry.” 

She finally raised her eyes to meet his. 

Those eyes. 

The arresting blue held a shocked expression. A small part of her rejoiced that she’d surprised him. But another part wondered at the other half of his expression that was almost vulnerable. Like she’d surprised him so much that the walls around his being were still slowly building up. His lips twitched beneath her fingers, drawing her gaze back to them. 

His full lips were flushed, promising and just perfect. Without a smirk or a cruel smile, Jacks looked like the definition of kissable. Then, she had the terrifying thought that it’d be so easy to just close the last few inches. The thought of tasting him and pulling him close brought a brilliant flush to her cheeks. Even for a moment, if she could forget his curse and kiss the cruel outer layer away.

When she raised her head, she found him staring at her—but not her eyes. Far worse, he was staring at her lips—as if he was considering the very same thing. 

And then she was falling into his lap. 

The carriage had lurched to a stop pushing Evangeline completely on to Jacks. Her hands bracketed his face on the back wall and her face fell on to his shoulder. 

But her legs…

Evangeline realized in horror that she was halfway on to his lap with one leg tangled in his. “Oh gosh, I…” She began to leave the precarious position when the carriage began again and threw Evangeline off balance. She would have fallen backwards onto the cushion if Jacks hadn’t grabbed her waist with both hands, pulling her tightly to him. 

Now, she was fully on his lap. Evangeline was raising her head to look at Jacks, almost afraid of what she was going to see in his expression, when the carriage lurched to a stop again. This time, Jacks’ arms saved her from falling. She was vaguely aware of some noises outside the carriage. She may have even heard her name. But she couldn’t focus on anything else besides Jacks cold but firm fingers holding her in place on his lap. 

Well, until the carriage door was thrown open and the bright afternoon sun filled the space. The light temporarily blinded Evangeline from seeing the figure standing at the entrance. This person had the largest bouquet of flowers she’d ever seen and…oh my god it was Apollo. 

A gasp left her mouth as she pulled herself harshly out of Jack’s cool but oh so inviting body. 

“Apollo! It’s so good to see you.” 

“Is it?” Jacks murmured to her left. 

Apollo looked lost for words. He seemed to be struggling between a happy smile at seeing Evangeline and a confused expression at seeing her wrapped around Jacks.

Evangeline stuttered through her words. “This…I wanted to…”

“It seems my carriage driver is in need of better control.” Jacks finally stood up and brushed off his knees. He met Apollo’s gaze with a confident smile. “It took a lot of my effort to keep her safe, for you.” He added with a gesture in Apollo’s direction. “Now, if you’ll take your fiancé from my presence, I’ll be off on my way.”

Apollo seemed to think that was a suitable answer. His expression lifted and filled with a brilliant smile. Evangeline couldn’t help giving one in return. Truly, this man looked at her as if she was his universe. If only his feelings could be real. Deep down that was what she wished for. A love that was steadfast and honest.

As Apollo lead her back towards the castle grounds, Evangeline turned to look at Jacks. He leaned against the carriage toying with a bright red apple she hadn’t noticed before. He seemed calm but even in that tiny glance, Evangeline could tell something was bothering him.

Just then, Jacks head rose and met her gaze. He allowed a small smile to show on his lips. Evangeline felt it was the most genuine thing Jacks had ever given her. Too bad it was short lived. 

“I have the most perfect dinner planned.” Apollo tugged on her hand firmly. Evangeline turned around to plaster a thin smile. She couldn’t muster the words or energy to reply. There’d been too many revelations today.

~~~ Jacks

Jacks toyed with the apple in his hands, needing to fidget to counteract his thoughts. He’d lost control of the drivers today. He couldn’t tell whether it was a slip in his concentration or a weakening of his powers. It had never happened before. And for some reason, Jacks felt his Little Fox was tied to it. Perhaps, she truly is magical being. 

He glanced at her disappearing figure and immediately shook his hands, trying to rid the feeling of her body on his hands. She turned around then--looking for him--as her fiancé led her away. Jacks felt the corner of his lips lift. 

He couldn’t lie to himself. For a moment, he’d wanted to kiss her. He didn’t think much of it though because it had been happening to him for years. Any girl he found remotely attractive, he’d be persuaded beyond reason to close the distance. The hardest part was knowing he could make their dreams come true. His kiss would always enchant them, leaving them with a feeling of bliss and happiness like no other. And, in that carriage, he wanted to give that to Evangeline.

Except she would die. And that’s usually what stopped him from giving in.

No, this interaction wasn’t odd. She was just…attractive. Anyone could see it in those bright blue eyes and soft pink curls. Perhaps, her strive to see the good in people is also endearing for some people. 

As he pushed himself into the carriage and commanded the drivers to move, he lost himself in their previous conversation. He hadn’t meant to be so cruel. He had lashed out when it wasn’t even true. Her only crime was caring for someone who didn’t give her the love she deserved. 

Jacks ran a tired hand over his face and hair. He had other things to focus on. Today was a complete disaster. The Little Fox found out more information about the prophecy and Jacks knew her curious mind would not let go of this inquiry so fast. But, if she married Apollo then everything would be on track. And with her golden heart and his threats, he had little doubt she would.

Talk (Silence)

~

Danny has gotten used to not having to watch what he said as the years went by.

In Amity everyone basically knew he was Phantom and just treated it as normal, and he had already told his parents what had happened,

They did a total 180 on their opinions, now chasing after ghosts to question them about everything they could squeeze out of them.

They were very proud of Danny too, often helping him with their technology.

Having said that he got used to not watching what he said in Amity, everyone knew so why bother right?

Unfortunately he was not in Amity

He was in Gotham visiting Jazz, who had moved for University.

They were currently in a cafe catching up, talking as their used to.

Not realizing that their conversation without context sounded very worrying.

~

Jazz: " So how are mod and dad?"

Danny: "Oh you know the usual, they're making new weapons, hopefully this time they wont target me, getting shot sucks, but I prefer it over getting electrocuted "

Jazz: " Good luck!"

(TOPC)The other people in the cafe: What the fuck

~

Danny: " Vlad keeps putting cameras in my room, so I went and confronted him about it again, I don't care that he's the mayor! "

Jazz: " He really needs some therapy"

Danny: " He's a fruitloop, he's beyond help"

TOPC: *concerned side eye*

~

Jazz: "You know I was a bit more worried about the criminals here, but honestly weak, I miss actual competent villains"

Danny: "I told you!"

TOPC not sure if they should be offended or wary of where they live

~

Jazz: " You know I kinda miss the food back home"

Danny: "What that it would come back to life and fight you to the death?"

Jazz: " I mean that too, but I was talking about the taste"

Danny: " Oh yes the chemically contaminated food really has some extra flavor compared to this" *gestures at his plate*

~

Danny: " I went to the park to play with Cujo and got kidnapped and they almost cut me in half"

Danny/Jazz: "Typical Friday!"

TOPC recording on their phones to make sure they're not hallucinating, someone is live tweeting.

Just an Idea

In your Magus AU, is Agnes just another a wizard/witch, a noble, or is she some sort of royalty for the Desolation-based kingdom? Also, does she still have a *thing* with Gertrude?

Soooo...

Agnes is the queen of the desolation-based kingdom-

she is an exception to the 'witches are only noble in name' rule but mostly her advisors make decisions.

She and Gertrude don't have the same *thing* as in GiSA but they have met 👁👁

Evajacks Wallpaper 🦊💓🍎 for my simp friends 🍄

[sweetingseva]

Do you think Jacks point of view is all in third person?

Because if everything is in third person and suddenly you put it in first person it would take me out of the story.

I'd like everything to be in third person except for extras or something like that.

Yup, I think it's safe to say that Jacks's pov will be in the third person.

For reference, the Caraval trilogy had all povs in the third person as well 😊
