    Summary

    Jayce never touched her lips, but gods, he touched everything else. Now she’s touching someone else, laughing with him, leaning into him, and Jayce can’t stand it. Seven years of silence boil into one furious truth:
    “Fuck yes, I’m better.”

    Summary

    Jayce didn't know exactly what he expected to see in the sketchbook. Mel’s medium of choice is typically paint, and her works are usually sweeping landscapes.
    What Jayce wasn't expecting to see was pages full of drawings of him.

    Written for Jayce Week 2025 off of the prompts "note" and "sketch"

    JT PERSONAL INVENTION LOG
    Entry #043 – Multi-Focus Torque Conduit
    Date: [illegible, smudged graphite]
    Filed by: Jayce Talis (age 12)
    Status: Incomplete

    Notes:
    Sketch 43. Math still won’t balance. Core weight drags too much on the outer rotation. May need to rebuild from scratch. Again.

    Mama says I should sleep. But what if someone else builds it first?
    What if I stop now and forget it later?
    I won’t.
    I’ll make something that works. Something that matters.
    One day, the Academy won’t laugh. They’ll remember this blueprint.

    Promise.
