    Summary

    Mac flashed her a grin and Jack actually felt his heart jump in his chest—this guy was easily the most beautiful person he had ever seen. He pressed a pedal on the floor with his foot and the tattoo gun in his hand buzzed to life, reminding Jack of the underground hornet nest he stepped in once as a kid. Riley and Jack both watched as he dipped the needle on the gun in black ink and then pressed it to Riley’s skin, creating a tiny line that would make up part of the outside of the feather. She didn’t even wince at the pain and Jack relaxed a little.

    “So how long have you been doing this?” the question was out of Jack’s mouth before he could bite his tongue, but he was just so curious.

    Mac didn’t look away from what he was doing, but one corner of his mouth curved up a little. “Professionally? Two years. Before that I apprenticed under Desi—we run the shop together—at another parlor, DXS. And before that, I was in the Army.”

    (AKA the AU where Mac is a tattoo artist and Jack is Jack, and they meet because of Riley and stick together despite everything.)
