Summary
Jerry Cantrell and Layne Staley living together after their band falls apart, how will this go?!
(The writing is ass in the beginning in my opinion, not much but if you stick it through I promise my writing gets better! And maybe I will redo the first few chapters once I finish it.
I'm not saying I'm good at writing but it does get better so if you're interested, please keep reading!! <3 again, I only started this because I hate ai and I wanted this plot! And I couldn't ask another writer to do it for me!!)

Summary
Layne hummed, turning his head more fully to actually look at the skyline. It took multiple seconds until Jerry eventually chose to mirror the action and view the vast emptiness by looking directly forwardbound. “It’d be clear enough to find something,” Layne then chose to note, “Did you have one in mind?” Which, technically, Jerry had skimmed one tiny segment about a more memorable constellation.
He’d never found the connection and alignment of stars to be too interesting. Sure, he believed in fate, in the most extreme circumstances, but the spiritual aspect of nature was always more likely to be observed and presented by someone like Mike or Layne, rather than himself. He’d never been attuned to the peculiar in such a divine sense. Yet, he remembered one connection solely because of the entitled ‘character’ that the image was supposed to depict—
“Oh. Yeah.” Jerry affirmed, his statements staccato and brief, “The herdsman.”
or; layne and jerry go stargazing. shenanigans ensue.

Summary
For someone who never asked for anything, it seemed that the very confines of existence would be the only sliver-plattered endowment that he'd take with an uninhibited twinkle in his eyes.
Layne would sit for those grueling hours of covert frustration, of snapping strings and squealing frets, right next to Jerry. He’d divinely split the barrier of sound and purgatory into a dueling partition, if he were capable of doing so. Anything to emanate his care into something that Jerry would immediately grin at; maybe a small gasp, or a hitching of his breath, where he’d awe with starry eyes, say something stupid...
But, alas, Layne didn’t behold the very secrets of the mellifluous barriers founded by the unnatural formation in which life itself existed. If he had, he was certain that he and Jerry would’ve been able to finish writing a debut album by now.
So, he could only bestow a physical representation of his subversively complex adoration in a different context. Cake.
Or; Layne fails at baking a cake for Jerry's birthday.

Summary
“It's about you and Jerry,” he says slowly.
Layne brushes his palms, dusting the crumbs off of them. He frowns, confused by this timid tiptoeing. It's not like Inez to be this hesitant, least of all about the band.
“Okay? What about us?” he tries not to sound too impatient. He reaches for his own bottle and tips it to his mouth.
Inez shifts in his seat, clears his throat.
“Are you two… y'know… fucking?”
Layne chokes on his beer.
--
Layne finds out that everybody thinks him and Jerry are sleeping together.

Summary
It’s not as though he doesn’t understand. How sometimes it’s the only box left to tick, that prick in your belly that steadily brews until it lifts your hand, lets it strike. He knows.
It’s just Jerry keeps ticking off enough boxes he feels as though there might be nothing after the fact.
or: jerry gets into a fight. layne deals with it.

Summary
He almost felt victimized in a sense, because this assault on his empathy was one notably draining. Overt speculation. Squinting at the page and sucking every word out of the paper like it'd be more substantial than the blood currently betraying him (as his pulse was a rickety, tenuous wreck.)
Because of words.
Because it meant, 'if either of us change despite the future. The irreparable, prophetic inevitable—I will vow to love you in any state of being.' There was no other interpretation beyond that. Rewording the phrase wouldn't affect what it meant, wouldn't deplete it of mirth, color, soul.
The poignant indentation was a much-craved anesthetic. Pen to page, to vying grasp on his heart. A wake up that simply rattled him. Change and embrace freedom, linger and rot.
Or; Jerry shows Layne the newest song that he's written.

Summary
Mike's exacerbated, slurred voice echos in his mind:
“You just — Jerry, you have to go over there, man. I swear to fuck, he isn't doing well. No, I know. It's different. I can't, he'll kill me. Please.”Jerry almost didn't even pick it up, the number being unrecognizable. He still hasn't decided if it's a good thing that he did.

Summary
“I know, Layne.” Susan’s perpetually soothing tone, while normally appreciated and at times revered, is grating on Layne’s already flared nerves. “We’ve already cancelled the show—”
“It’s not about the show, he’s missing.”

Summary
For as long as he can remember, Jerry’s felt pain other than his own. He’s hovering somewhere between gratitude, that it’s signifying proof someone out there is his and his alone, and irritation.
Irritation, because there’s only so many times he can wake with his flesh bruised along the knee before he starts to wonder if his someone has a penchant for it.
or: soulmate AU where they feel and have echoing marks of their other person’s pain.
