Do you even know how much I love writing them eue there's gonna be a part two where you and your dear captain are dancing on the beach together, alone, at night while the others are sleeping hehe eUe
owo Beach shenanigans~ Also, I need your opinion. After writing "Occupational Hazards" I had the idea of making the Series "Under the Tides" kind of like a little loose plot one-shot series. That goes from Booker in Rapture, to him dying, to Jack coming to Rapture. And I'd like to know what you think? I would plan to have Reader ((after hearing about Booker's death)) slowly start to become a Splicer until Jack comes and is all "Ohmygod you look sane, please help me out of here, I don't know what's going on." and yeah. How do you think that would go??
Maybe Booker and the Reader had a sorta romance thing going on but both were too shy to express their feelings in fear that the other one wasn't into to them in a romantic way.
So when the reader finds out Booker is dead, either hearing about it or finding him for themselves, and slowly they fall into a deep depression/mourning phase that slowly takes away at them bit by bit and eventually they would become a splicer.
In comes Jack, confused as hell, when he finds the reader in one of the stores and is crying into their hands. Jack sees they're not batshit insane so he slowly approaches them, starling the reader when he steps on some broken glass, and the reader just looks at him before saying something like 'If you're here to rob me then don't because I don't have anything but the clothes on my back' and is all sniffles and stuff.
Jack is like 'I need help getting out of here' thing and the reader notices he's hurt, offers to patch him up. As the reader does they introduce themselves to him, he does the same, and start to ramble how he's reckless just like him, Booker, and that he needs to be more careful and the only way for that to happen is if they go with him.
Maybe Jack kinda thinks the reader is cute or something, but the reader is still a little heartbroken about Booker, and over time the warm up to each others. Throw in some hallway make outs and the reader pushing Jack away and saying sorry a lot. Thus having Jack question the reader what's wrong and bam the reader breaks down and tells him about Booker.
IDK this is just an idea, but if that doesn't work I have a few other ideas in mind
OOOH i likes. See where I was going is that it will take place like...a month or so after Occupational Hazards. Where reader's novel is just published and is instantly requested to write a sequel. Estatic from the amazing news they go to tell Booker, only to see a note on the door that would probably read something like "Got an urgent job, be back soon". and Reader is all happy for Booker because since the incident with Sally he's been all down and out, and they kinda have been a little falling apart.
Well reader waits like...two, three days before learning of Booker's death and kinda falls into a deep depression. Well trying to write, Reader cant focus and eventually spends all the ADAM they have probably gotten as part of their pay on focus plasmids and semi becomes addicted. Then eventually does start to become typical splicer and attacks other splicers for ADAM.
Well another month goes by and Reader is kinda a little far gone. Then Jack comes by and is all "Heyyyy are you okay?" and Reader kinda snaps back a bit and freaks and then yes. It shall go from what you said about him being all hurts.
I love it eWe this shall be a beautiful thing. Ooooh and the whole reader finding out, dude that's gonna make your readers cry when they get to that scene. Yush like the reader has a reason, outside of themselves, to keep on going because they have someone to care and fuss over. Jeez this is going to be an awesome series, feels all over the frickin' place and only the sound of Big Daddies and Little Sisters over the sounds of crying.
Friggin fuss over Jack like "No baby...Nooooooo." Its not going to be super extensive. Just like references here and there to parts. Then the ennnnding When Jack goes off to kill Andrew Ryan he'd pull up the brave-boy pants and be all "(Name), I want you to wait out here. I don't want you to get hurt." And so they do. And right after the whole WYK reveal, Jack walks out, all bloody and battered. And Reader is all "Jack! Jack! You're alive!" and he just raises his wrench and the words "Would you kindly keep this secret safe?" crackles out over the radio. And well...reader dies as well.
Now for a reason why Reader dies, Atlas/Fontaine totally keeps tabs on Jack through the entire game, and so when Reader joins up (being the author they are), they kind of laugh and joke "When we get out of here, I'm gonna write a book allll about this." Well Atlas/Fontaine can't have that, but he also can't just have Jack up and kill her there, because then he would know about the WYK too soon. So the part with andrew ryan is the best way to keep the secret of rapture silent.
This also works in Jack's favor cause it'll drive him to revenge. MWAHAHAHAHAAaaah.
Ohhhh my frickle frackle that ending is gonna be awesome! Oh my god just all those feels are gonna hit your readers dlaskjdklsadas And to tug at everyone's heartstrings you should make the reader like accept their fate and just give Jack a caring smile as they die and say something like 'I'm not mad, just stay safe, alright? Because I'm not gonna be here to keep you patched up' then they die, there's tears from Jack, and then we see our beloved reader in some heaven like place or something and Booker is there and they just run to him and are happy to see him. But then they realize Jack is all alone now and they can only watch from sidelines as Jack embarks on his quest for revenge.
Dude, you just read my mind. Like Reader would just kind of sit there, a little shocked, but mostly accepting it, and would say something along those lines. Maybe even just a "Thank you..." And there would totes be an epilouge where it would be from Jack's point of view, ((and we's gonna assume he got the good ending)) but he's standing on the shore of the ocean with flowers in hand. He looks out to sea and sadly smiles. Jack places the flowers on the shore, walks away, and softly mumbles " For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crost the bar. " ((BTW THATS AN ACTUAL POEM AND ITS ABOUT A PERSON WHOS LOVER DIES OUT AT SEA))
Dude you're killing me here, Jesus this is going to be the most feelsy thing ever! Then then theeeeeeeeeeeen when Jack's on his death bed he sees the reader, as pretty as the first time he saw them, and Booker's there too and they're just like "You've done good, come on home with us" or something kinda like at the end of Le Mis where and ugh feels all over the place and maybe they all are just in heaven sharing stories as the watch the sun set. ((I've heard of that poem...ugh my heart cries a little whenever I read it.))
