Summary
The ocean is a healer. This Jeremy knows better than anyone. It’s why he came back himself, when all turned to nothing; it’s why he took the others under his roof when the shadows at their back threatened to swallow them whole.
It’s why he lets Jean in when he shows up suddenly, his pale face a soft light in the darkness. Jeremy sees him and knows he can’t subsist as he is, alone.The ocean can’t change Jean’s past, but maybe it can wash his future into smooth, clean sand the way it did for so many others.

What is there left to say?
All of the apologies in Jean’s mouth dried up years ago. It’s one of the thousands of ways he hardened himself against a world that wanted to crush him into dust; he doesn’t have any niceties left in him, none of the shallow words others fill the air with. He doesn’t know how to say he’s sorry without meaning it.
It’s always been about making it one more day. Not for the team, or for his family that threw him away, but for himself. He’s weak, worthless, always lacked something in the Master’s eyes, but he couldn’t give up. It wasn’t in his nature to surrender, so he had to protect himself the ways he knew how. It’s always been about protecting himself
Genuinely one of my favorite JereJean works I’ve read in this fandom. I don’t know why it isn’t more popular. The writing is just gorgeous and takes my breath away
