I love it!

I love Shawn/Jordan father/son fics. I love that aspect of their relationship, although I know a lot of writers like to make it less innocent.

And the Jordan death scene was so harrowing for poor Shawn. I can't wait to see his reaction to Jordan's return.

Thanks so much for feedback, it seems so rare to get any for 4400 fics. You put a smile on my face. :)

Yeah, S3 is sure to have some wonderful surprises and awesome scenes in. I wonder how long before that particular one comes up. It'd seem like a episode 1 likelihood but if it wasn't that could be interesting.

And on Shawn/Jordan - I kind of prefer it to be father/son or mentor/disciple relationship. I don't mind the slash but I find their friendship, or however the relationship is defined, to be intriguing enough as it is and little explored in fics. So I had a go. I have a few more Shawn bunnies hanging around waiting more inspiration (like his first birthday being shortly after he runs away according to my worknigs out of timelines and the official sites 4400 database), and I imagine all of them would involve Jordan - after s2 they're both sort of tied up in each other emotionally.

Oh, please do write it!

I'll read all the Shawn and Shawn/Jordan fic I can get.

By my rekoning, Shawn must have run away in October, and had his 18th birthday on Dec. 12, (according to the 4400 database.) And yes, I'm sure Jordan already had a very powerful hold on him at that point.

By my calculations the events of White Light are all around about mid November, because several different things indicate roughly 3 months passing since the return (at least 7 weeks go by in the pilot episode alone).

But yeah, his birthday would happen just a few weeks to a month after he runs away, which has to be tough. Jordan would be one to know that sort of information, I'm just trying to decide what he'd do... I also realised Shawn can't have finished high school, so something must have been arranged about that. Both things I'd love to write about but the ideas aren't developed enough currently and I have other character fics bugging me, but I do hope to write more Shawn stuff.

I've got more Diana/Marco, a Nina fic, a Maia fic and a few crossovers in the works - but I shall endeavor on Shawn fics too. :)

haunting

very haunting fic. congrats on this.

now he sees that its one thing to 2nd-guess Jordan's actions, another to find himself in Jordan's shoes. heckova way to find out, with the other shoe dropping on him.

bravo. now please, write something cheerful.
