Babble of a Distant Star

I have two other things promised, but in my defense I started this one immediately after I finished "The Bridge," it just took me a while to finish.

I present to you a short fic exploring if Jonathan did “punch his own ticket" and ended up alphabetizing the Hall of Crippling Phobias. Technically a sequel to The Bridge but I don’t think you need to read that first if you don’t want to. This does mention Jonathan’s death/injuries, however.

This is built on a pretty depressing premise, so again not a happy fic. Even if I hope there’s some notes of hope? (I almost want to write something more fluffy and happy with them in Hell together. I don’t even know.) Implied established relationship between Jonathan and Sock.

Title: A for Autophobia
Pairing: Jonathan/Sock-ish
Warnings: mentions of death, suicide, hell and a couple phobias
Words: 1600
Summary: Jonathan’s afterlife in the Hall of Crippling Phobias is monotonous and lonely, except for the times when Sock shows up.
Notes: Autophobia = fear of being isolated or abandoned, Acrophobia= fear of heights, Spectrophobia = fear of mirrors, Phobophobia = fear of developing a phobia.
