Jace knew pain. He could handle that.
No, the worst part of dying was the fear. That split second before the end when pain took a backseat, a fluttering consciousness latching onto the only thing he knew for certain.
This was the end. This was it. No more. Over. Dead. Gone. Finished.
His chest spasmed in wild aborted half-breaths, choking on bloody phlegm his body wanted desperately to expel but lodged in his ragged throat. Fingers twitched as if to form the somatic components for a spell he lacked the energy to cast. The world shifted and sputtered, fading no matter how tightly he tried to grasp it close to his chest.
For all the world it almost felt like being back in high school again, desperately willing his eyes to stay open as the teacher droned on and on about material components even though everyone in class had an arcane focus. Just as he had back then, Jace was powerless to resist as his eyelids drooped and he finally dropped down into the long rest waiting for all adventurers in the end.
Pathetic.
End of the line. So where did that leave him? Caught between divine domains, having never pledged himself to any one divinity. The astral planes, the pits of hell, or even following the innate magic in his blood back to the feywilds of his ancestry?
End. The end. It was the end of him.
Is this all you are?
Was this his legacy? A young and powerful sorcerer, the potential of the universe sparkling at his fingertips, all the world open to him.
Spent the prime of his life getting heckled by fourteen-year-olds who only cared about learning how to cast fireball.
(I can't teach it to you, he always had to explain to the new ones, with their dead eyes and dumb gaping fish mouths. More of a coach. We're just spitballing back and forth what it might Feel Like to have the option of summoning a giant sphere of fire to raze down one's enemies.)
Is this what you're dying for? A handful of self-centered, idiotic, ungrateful brats?
Beyond the veil of death, every nerve in his body dulled to utter numbness, something in Jace's chest pulsed.
For a boss who'd fuck a flaming pigeon out on the bloodrush field before he considered giving you an ounce of respect?
In the darkness of the in between, caught in the steps before final death, the air turned hot and tacky. Blond hair curled limp against his forehead, drenched in sweat, heat clawing across his skin like a furnace trying to burrow its way back home.
The sort of heat that made it hard to think, hard to move, for fear that the slightest twitch would cut through the atmosphere and sear your skin straight from the bone.
Something crimson crackled through the darkness. A feverish crescendo crawling in every direction, hateful and ferocious in every shattering shower of red.
It didn't have to be the end. Not if he didn't let it be.
Get up.
And really, what had the goddamn gall to keep him here? What universe thought he would just roll over and stay down like a good little corpse?
He just had to. Reach out. Had to. Take it.
Get the fuck up, Stardiamond.
A fistful of rubies sparked and flared in Jace's palm, before he tilted his head back and poured them down his open maw.
On the material plane, Jace Stardiamond's eyes snapped open.
Jace thought he'd known what pain was. A lifetime of arcana, adventuring, of teaching highschoolers, he'd taken his fair share of hits over the years. Not like this. Nothing like this.
Jace thought he'd known pain, and he was a goddamn fool.
This
was
agony.
Writhing on the classroom floor, his back arched into an unnatural contortion of joints and limbs. The feral thing tore from Jace's throat could hardly even be called a scream, mangled as it was with a century's worth of rage buried in the name of a paper thin mask. It bubbled from his mouth as limbs thrashed about, eyes rolling back into his head with the anguish of it all.
"There you are."
A hulking fifteen foot shadow loomed over his twitching corpse, greedy eyes simply watching as Jace's fingers began scrambling across his own chest. A spellcaster's fingers, ordinarily so nimble and precise, nails once filed to a perfect smooth arch now ragged and bloodstained as they clawed through the layers of his own scarf and shirt.
He tore and mangled the flesh underneath until fingertips hit jagged gemstone.
"I knew you had it in you, somewhere under that bone deep smarmy front you put on."
Ruby splintered across Jace's skin, crystalized in his collapsed lung, sparkled in the lining of his throat.
"Bitterness, frustration, jealousy, hatred, judgement, call it what you want, but you've always been bursting at the seams with rage. Just waiting for the right person to come along and break the seal."
Flecks of ruby crusted to Jace's lips, pulled back to bare his teeth in a rabid snarl. The giant above only chuckled, the sound of his laughter like the grinding of stone when a whole mountain collapsed inwards.
"Why?" The word barely scraped free from his raw throat, lingering in the palpable heat clogged air.
A large hand gripped Jace's chin to force his gaze upwards, the bones in his jaw straining and cracking with the force of the gesture. Yet above him, Porter just clicked his tongue as if reprimanding a misguided child.
"Because, Stardiamond, you piss me off more than I can even begin to describe." His grin was too wide, too clean, a little too sharp at the edges. "That's holy, in its own sort of way."

I was looking for songs that remind me of Starbreaker and I realized I just already have Porter's playlist.
Turns out being full of rage pays off sometimes.

I do think the funniest outcome to Porter x Jace situationship is Porter realizing & more importantly vocalizing he preferred Jace before getting shatterstarred. What if god (re)made you in his image but then he said nah I think I liked you the way you were before
