   Summary

   Stranded on an island that seems determined to turn boys into beasts, Jack has spent weeks hiding himself beneath layers of dried mud, sharp words, and blood-stained pride. But when Ralph catches him alone, quiet, and painfully human, something between them begins to shift.

   Ralph sees through Jack’s warpaint too easily. Jack hates how much he wants to be seen anyway.

   AKA: A slightly slow-burn fic about vulnerability, longing, and the terrifying relief of being seen through your mask.
