Ummm, Talia. You...didn't really think this through, did you?

Because...

Yeah.

Makes for the ultimate proof that one should not underestimate Jay and his potential to go to either side. It's all about balance. If you tip it the wrong way, god help the hand that did so.

Gorgeous job with this, love.

[saavikam77]

She really, really didn't. Silly woman.

Gods help the world, with Lucifer!Jason on the loose! >:D

Thanks so much, sweetie! I got a bee in my bonnet to just get something *finished*, and 50_darkfics won the coin toss for the afternoon. :p I'm so glad to be 100% done with that table, my GODS. I can even delete the link from my sidebar now, since I linked it up to my Fic Index. XD WHOO!

[kalalanekent]

That was my very first thought after the first section. "OMFG, what was she thinking? This is gonna be baaaad." Oh, yeah. This is just going to get uglier and uglier for everyone involved.

Sounds good to me. I know how that feels and it's always a relief to get it closed out. :D That's me and limited-series. YAY! So proud of you!

[saavikam77]

Oh yeah, she *thought* she was doing right by fulfilling the prophecy. Somebody shoulda' told her that nothing good comes out of those sorts of things. XD

Now to get the million other little things I have lying around finished. :p

Wow, I love Jason/Talia as a pairing, it's so rare and you managed to capture the darkness of the pairing perfectly.

[saavikam77]

Thank you so very much! ^____^ I'm glad this worked out right.

I take it Talia never got the memo stating that Ultimate Ebil always kills the messenger, huh? Silly girl, trix are for kids and Ebil!Jason is for no one but himself. Again, very powerful and still unholy, now with even more blood!
Thank you for sharing, and wow, dark and perfect. Congrats.

[saavikam77]

Nope, she really didn't. XD Evil!Jay is not to be trifled with. And he'll be ogled on his own terms, dammit. >:D

And there can never be enough blood where Jay is concerned. (So, why did I make him a werewolf in the (Un)Familiar-verse? XD)

Thanks so very much, hon!

I have no idea what's going on here other than that Talia resurrected Jason in the pool thingy, but I LOVE the apocalyptic feeling. Oh! You know what it reminds me of? How the moment when Anakin turns into Darth Vader feels. Lovely prose. :D

[saavikam77]

ROFL!! XD Basically, in canon, she tossed him into the Lazarus Pit, and it healed him from the long-lasting injuries he'd sustained at the Joker's hands, and the amnesia he'd had as a result. But it made him kinda crazy. In this AU, I just added the whole prophesy and apocalypse thing, and voila! Instant evil!Jason. >:D

I hadn't thought about the Vader connection, but that sounds just about right.

Thank you so much, hon! :D

[saavikam77]

Thank you so much! *hands you a blankie and a nightlight* ^_~ This Jason is definitely a baddie. :p
