Hush
Jon/Brendon || R || ~21,600 words || apocalypse AU
In a world where words are measured and time is of most importance, Jon has twenty words left. Everything is a countdown to the next day, a road leaning closer to the end.
Warnings: Realms of dystopian society and apocalypse
Epically Long Author Notes: This is my interpretation of a we_are_cities prompt for Oct 25 08.
This fic would not be written without the help and care of the following:
melish, hellodolly123 and santeenmusta all betaed this fic for me. Thank you all for your input and time, especially to melish for the speedy beta and making this story so much better than it originally was. I had read it so many times, I needed that extra eye to look it over and tweak it better and she did an amazing job at that. ♥ you, bb. Also thanks goes to sateenmusta whose reaction was priceless and I cannot thank her enough for it, and thanks to hellodolly123 for calling me up and freaking out about her lack of internet to get it to me on by a certain time, and telling me how great it was. All three of these ladies took time out of their busy schedule to actually get this betaed for me and for that I am eternally grateful. *smooches*
kyasuriin, my personal cheerleader who also helped me with filling in any gaps that were caused because of the format of the story. I don't know if I could've been able to do it without her initially showing me the prompt and then helping me run away with the idea. Thank you for your infinite patience with the countless times I whined and freaked out about what to do. For falling_words, my other personal cheerleader who reassured to me that it wasn't crap, that it made sense, that she liked the format and also let me know when things got a little overboard or stilted. Thank you for the long phone calls and listening to me babble about this relentlessly on AIM. Also, arctic_grey and itsallhushhush were a part of the test-runners for this fic and gave amazing feedback and questions and the hope I needed in it. HUGE THANKS to adellyna for helping me come up with a title, (and she didn't read the fic at all!) so many ♥'s to her for that. This story was lovingly referred to as as "end of the world!fic" and "jon!fic" for a long time, so without her help, I don't know what the hell I'd be calling it.
Much love goes to spencer_says, katilara and this_is_my_name for being amazing and telling me time and time again that I'm awesome. I was blushing furiously when I told katilara about the idea and was even more flattered when she said "I really think this is the best idea you've come up with."
Last, but by far never the least, to samedifference_ and choclitbunny for being beautiful, courageous, wonderful and inspiring every single day of my life. You both are my soul mates and the both of you make me into a better person every day.
