Okay so I can’t get this scene out of my head of Schneeplestein giving Jameson a check up to finally find out why his voice doesn’t work, Schneep asking all these questions and JJ having to practically play charades because Schneep doesn’t know BSL. For example, Schneep is asking JJ if he thinks he was just created without a voice and JJ starts to sign, but Schneep interrupts him, “JJ, you know I can’t sign,” and JJ heaves a sigh of frustration and starts to mime answers to Schneep’s questions. Schneep asks if JJ wants to write down his responses, but JJ shakes his head, he thinks this is more entertaining. The whole scene is just Schneep and JJ’s check up shenanigans, and a fun bonding time for the two. <3
…
After a while, Schneep started to narrow down the specifics of his questions.
“Does you voice feel hoarse vhen you try to use it?”
JJ eventually got across that he’s never tried to use it.
Schneep marked something on his clipboard. “Can you try for me?”
JJ shook his head.
Puzzled, Schneep asked, “Vhy not?”
JJ took a shaky breath and pointed to his Adam’s apple. Or, at least where it should be.
Schneeplestein narrowed his eyes and leaned in closer to JJ’s throat to get a better view, and sure enough, there was almost no bump where the top of his voice box should protrude. Schneep set down his clipboard and pressed against the spot of the mute ego’s missing Adam’s apple, JJ immediately recoiled and placed a protective hand against his neck. He gazed up at the doctor with furrowed brows and a pained expression, guilt shining in his eyes.
Schneep didn’t need Jameson to do anything for him to understand what happened.
“How long have you known about this?”
JJ averted his gaze, but the flush coloring his cheeks told Schneep all he needed to know.
“I see. Vell, vhy didn’t you vant to tell me about this?”
JJ, poised in his typical impeccable posture, tensed his shoulders and glanced at the clipboard. Schneep, seeing this, gave the clipboard and a pen to JJ.
The mute ego takes the pen and writes his answer in a flowing, beautifully styled cursive.
Before I even knew my name, I knew him. He was the only thing I knew. He was my world. His laugh sent ice down my spine, his voice clawed at my ears, his smile raked across my eyes. He carved into me like I was a pumpkin on Halloween. I can still hear my screams echoing in my head, sometimes I doubt those screams were ever mine. It lasted for an eternity, my God, Hendrik, it lasted forever. But eventually I stopped screaming, I stopped making noise, yet the pain never ceased. I didn’t notice at first, maybe he grew bored of my incessant noise, but he shredded my vocal cords into ribbons and cut my voice box out of my throat. How he was able to take my voice, but not my breath is horrific, but once he did this, he was gone. Then I was gone. Placed in another reality. This reality. That is why I didn’t want to tell you about this. My good friend, I didn’t want you to worry about me more than you already do. It’s done, it can’t be reversed. All my wounds have healed, except this one. There is nothing a good doctor such as yourself can do to make this right. You can’t fix me. I’m happy here, with you and the others. Please, just let me be.
Halfway through writing his note, JJ’s eyes started tearing up and his hand began trembling, nonetheless he finished it and returned the clipboard to Schneeplestein.
As soon as the clipboard left JJ’s hand, he stood up and darted out of the doctor’s office. Schneep, sensing he needed to be left alone, let JJ leave without a word.
The doctor picked up JJ’s note, and as he read deeper into it, anguish crept onto his face.
How had Jameson kept this to himself all this time?
Schneeplestein walked over to the door and peered outside where he saw JJ slumped against the far wall, he could hear a faint noise coming from his direction. Schneep, curious as to what the noise could be, stepped out of his office and started towards JJ. As he grew closer to him, he saw that the soft noise was JJ. He was crying. It was probably the loudest sound JJ had even made in a long time. Quiet, quivering gasps of breath, and trembling shoulders. Upon seeing this, Schneep rushed over to JJ’s side and sat down next to him. JJ didn’t seem to notice. The doctor had never been one to comfort others. That job was always taken by Jack, or Marvin, or JJ. Yet Schneep placed a tender arm around JJ, determined to help him feel better. Though the mute ego’s shoulders relaxed, he was quietly sobbing even harder than before. Schneep opened his mouth to speak.
“Vere you ever going to tell us about this?”
JJ quickly shook his head no and buried his face in his hands. The doctor gave a heartbroken sigh.
“I’m here to support you, okay, JJ?”
Jameson lifted his gaze to meet Schneeplestein’s.
“Ve all are.”
Without warning, JJ wrapped his arms around Schneep in a tight hug. Schneep tensed, not used to being touched, much less hugged. Wanting to console JJ as much as he could, he gingerly returned the gesture.
JJ parted first. His sobbing had gone down considerably to a silent sniffle.
He smiled at Schneeplestein and mouthed two words.
Thank you.
Schneep drew a short breath and gave a small smile back, “Let’s get you home.”

Thank you, as always, for writing this story with me.
winged JJ in the air: graceful, elegant, fast. winged JJ the moment he touches down on the ground: wobbles and then trips over nothing.
He is both a gentleman and a disaster XD
Misfit!Jameson, angst, hunger?
Though Jameson is typically very friendly, however, once a year on Halloween, he completely loses control and craves human meat. Since the Misfits were never human, Jameson has no interest in them and remains passive, but Chase wasn’t always a werecat, which puts him on the menu.
Jamie’s a scary boy! Thank you for your request, I hope I did it justice! 3/?

“Ugh, this is so BORING!” Marvin groaned. He slumped in his place on the throne, leaning his elbow on the armrest with his head in his hand.
“Your Highness, please refrain from such inappropriate outbursts….” Anti was highly unamused by the misbehavior and the disapproving look on his face said it all. He stood to the left of the throne with a book as big as an encyclopedia in his arms and a quill in his hand. As Marvin’s royal advisor, he stood beside him throughout most of the day charting records and ultimately helping the prince make decisions on social and economical issues in the kingdom. He was typically very calm and passionate about his work, always wanting to get straight to the point and sometimes getting carried away.
At least, that’s how Marvin saw it.

Oof I want angst and kinda want a short fic where JJ becomes so upset about not having a voice and desperately just yelling out just trying to make a noise.
It took all of his will not to scratch desperately at his throat until he drew blood; both his tie and collar felt suffocating. Even the air he breathed felt stifling as he tumbled onto the edge of his bed, digging his hands into the blankets. “Hear me,” he choked out to no one listening, tears streaming hotly as he bowed his head. “Hear me! Please, just give me a voice! Somebody hear me!”
Been havin artblock lately so did a messy doodle of a happy boi
Part 25 of My Brother's Keeper
(Part 1 l Previous l Next)
“It hurts,” groans Henrik, writhing on his bed. “It hurts.”
Chase clings to his hands, stopping him from clawing at his face. “I know,” he whispers, exhausted. “I'm sorry, man.”
“It hurts, it hurts, it hurts too much, master, stop, master, I'm sorry.”
“It's me, it's Chase.”
“I didn't mean to, I didn't mean to!”
“You didn't do anything wrong.”
“Hurts, hurts, hurts.”
“I know,” he whispers, exhausted. “I'm sorry, man.”
A sudden change flashes through Henrik's face. He creeps forward on the bed, baring his teeth.
“So much fucking flesh on you,” he hisses, his accent dissipating and his pitching rising and falling in spasms. “I hate your scarlessness. I want to trace the outlines of your bone into every centimeter of your skin.”
Chase watches him, dead-eyed, from the other side of the room. Henrik rocks himself, clutching his shoulders, turned away from him.
“Stupid fucking boy,” hisses Henrik, his voice rising and falling strangely, like there's a voice changer switching channels in his throat. “Stupid fucking drunkard. Abandoned little dog, don't you want a new master?”
“You're not Anti,” says Chase, softly, a plate of pasta growing cold on the bedside drawer next to him. “Come get something to eat, Schneep. Henrik. Schneeplestein.”
“Stupid boy!” screams Henrik, tearing at his hair. “Your master won't wake up until I am underneath his skin!”
Chase gets slowly to his feet and rounds the bed. Gentle, he pulls Henrik's hands from his hair, eliciting a low groan of agony. “You're not Anti,” he repeats, holding up a forkful of pasta. “Open up.”
“I want Jack, I want Jack, I want to taste every cell of his fucking blood!”
“How about mac and cheese first?” suggests Chase dryly, pressing the fork to his mouth, until at last, Henrik opens up, growling, and eats.
“Stupid fucking boy...”
“You're not Anti.”
Level, steady. Stay with him, take care of him. He stabs another forkful of macaroni. I owe him this and more. “You're not Anti, Schneep. Henrik. Brother. Eat.”
Henrik's eyes burn with hatred as they look up at him. Chase ignores it steadfastly, pressing the bite towards his mouth, and as Henrik eats, some of the rage drains from his grey face.
“Ch-chase?” he chokes around macaroni.
“Shhh. I'm here.”
“I d-don't feel good. What's happening to me?”
“You're a little sick, man. Just eat, okay? I'm going to take care of you.”
“You're going to take care of me?”
“Me and JJ.”
Chase turns to smile at his little brother, watching from the corner. “We're going to take care of you. Right, Jamie?”
Jameson meets his eyes resolutely, trying to straighten up, because even if Henrik sometimes scares him like this, he is determined.
He loves him.
Yes.
They manage to get Henrik to sleep that night, after Stacy and the kids have left. Chase looks up at JJ, his hand settled in Henrik's hair, watching over him.
“It's going to be a long couple of weeks,” Chase warns, looking exhausted already. “He'll be a lot to handle.”
“That's okay,” says JJ. “I'm here.”
He is.
He will stay.
Marvin made him promise.
---------------
Chase sets up a sleeping bag for JJ that night – he refuses to be parted from Henrik's side, and Chase plans to sleep beside Henrik in the bed in case he becomes violent – and he goes to check on Jackie, wondering if he's still conked out on flu medicine. He isn't. He looks up when Chase enters his room, sitting on the end of his bed.
“Jackie,” says Chase softly. “Are you okay?”
Jackie glances back at him, shaking his head minutely. Chase moves to his side and hugs him tightly.
“Jameson,” croaks Jackie.
“He's fine. He's downstairs. Just got overwhelmed, I think.”
“Schneep?”
Chase pauses, rubbing Jackie's back, but he knows his brother won't let up until he knows.
“It's the possession withdrawal again,” he says.
Jackie's expression shatters. He leans his head against Chase's chest, hiding his face.
“It's going to be okay, man,” whispers Chase.
“Nothing is ever going to be okay again,” croaks Jackie. “Marvin is gone.”
Chase has to cover his mouth to keep from sobbing, his eyes sliding shut. Fuck. Fuck.
“I want my little brother,” cries Jackie, clinging to his shirt.
“I know, Jackie,” sobs Chase, because he doesn't know what to say. “I want him too.”
On God, he would give up most everything in the world to have Marvin here with him now. He can feel the memory of his brother's hand on his shoulder, keeping him steady.
He gets Jackie water and macaroni and makes him eat it. Jackie will not stop crying and Chase does not blame him. He understands. Jackie tries more than once to insist that he will get his own food, get his own water, he will watch Henrik tonight, he will let Chase be the one grieving, he will do this and this and this. But his fever is strong enough that Jackie can't follow through on much of anything. Maybe, in that sense, the fever is a small blessing. Chase pushes him back into bed and gathers up his dishes.
“Chaser, don't go,” begs Jackie.
“Oh, Jacks,” sighs Chase. “Man, I gotta stay with Henrik so he doesn't hurt himself.”
“Oh,” says Jackie in a small voice. “Yes. Of course.”
“You could come sleep in his room with the rest of us, though,” offers Chase, brushing sweaty hair from Jackie's forehead. “I'll get the other sleeping bag, okay?”
“No,” answers Jackie dully. “Jameson doesn't want me around.”
Chase sighs again and sits back down on the edge of Jackie's bed.
“Jackie,” he says softly. “JJ's just scared and overwhelmed, and Anti told him a lot of bad shit about you. I know he's breakin' your heart, man... just don't give up on him, okay?”
Jackie stares up at him, his eyes red.
“Hey,” says Chase, clucking his chin. “Promise me, okay?”
Jackie looks away, sniffling. “Okay, Chase. I guess.”
“How about the cats, yeah? I can bring the cats to you.”
“Yes,” says Jackie, rubbing at his face. “Yes, please. The cats.”
Chase puts the dishes away and finds Athanasius and Queenie, carrying them up to Jackie's room. By the time he has deposited them in Jackie's bed, his brother is already asleep.
