Leans against wall. Hello JAH fandom, what do you guys want to see me write for my oneshot book on ao3? Feel free to comment ideas or reblog with ideas!! I've been itching to write Jekyll and Hyde stuff again. Jekyll, Hyde, Utterson, and Lanyon are all on the table; fluff, angst, you name it as long as it isn't anything gross or nsfw. Thank you!

lmao idc what people think about this one if it’s negative but Jekyll gets overstimulated by lots of loud noise and a lot of people talking near him at once. And once he is overstimulated he gets quiet but visibly either tense or anxious because he gets snappy when he’s overwhelmed. Bonus points he starts dissociating because of how overwhelmed he is
Just a thought because that man to me just cannot handle social situations very well, he sticks to a very strict social circle and doesn’t try to broaden it much. He’s an enigma even before the whole turmoil he goes through with creating Hyde

I'm staring at the Jekyll and Hyde fandom with a frown. Why are you all at each others throats like constantly. I seriously don't get it, just let people enjoy what they want to enjoy as long as it isn't lowkey harming anyone or themselves and isn't like, wrong? And I don't mean wrong as in writing disturbing literature or anything, the novella and the musical both go over some heavy topics like the pedophile in the musical, yadda yadda. I mean like quite literally wrong and the person portraying it is actively defending it and speaking about how they are completely fine with the material in question. I understand being upset over certain interpretations not catering to how they are described originally in the novella, but the musical and so many different adaptations have different looks for the characters, its the point of being an adaptation, not to mention it's an interpretive literature.
TLDR; I don't understand why Jekyll and Hyde fans are at each others throats for having different opinions and I find it incredibly stupid, thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Still thinking about the night Utterson broke down the door/read the letters. To me it was all within the same 24 hours.
I’ve seen the idea here and there that Utterson read the letters there in Jekyll’s cabinet and then could look at Hyde’s body with realization and grief. However, I think it much more likely that he didn’t read Jekyll’s statement until at least a couple hours later, when he was at home alone. This would’ve been after searching for Jekyll or signs of where his body could be, notifying the police, telling them his statement (which includes however long they kept him hanging around before and after that), and going home and possibly processing this weird and distressing night for a bit.
While I definitely feel the appeal of wanting Utterson to have his closure to Jekyll by observing Hyde’s body with the knowledge, it’s so much more sad to think that he’s not going to get that chance. If there was a funeral for Jekyll (there probably was), it was with his body absent, because it was never found (unless there wasn’t a service because he would’ve been presumed missing).
By the time he’d read both letters, Hyde’s (Jekyll’s) body would’ve been in custody, waiting for autopsy, if not already begun. So then … what’s Utterson supposed to do? Tell people that’s actually Jekyll’s body? His friend since his youth whom he held dear to his heart and who deserves a proper burial and service? … No. He can’t do that. He’d be taken for having gone mad. Unless he showed the letters as proof.
But then, if they are believed, Jekyll’s reputation would be completely ruined. You know what people are like when someone they like/respect turns out to be a horrible person. And in a society when everyone puts on the facade in public … it would also haunt Utterson more out loud rather than just in his thoughts, and that’s horrible enough without making his everyday life worse.
No. There’s no saving Jekyll’s body. He died as Hyde and he can’t be recovered. His body will be subjected to whatever treatment the bodies of criminals were subjected to. And Utterson will likely keep quiet.
If there was a funeral service for Jekyll and Utterson went, he’d be surrounded by people who would know so little of the truth about the man they would be singing the praises of. And Utterson would have to be quiet and bear through it.
The main person he would’ve talked to about all this is already dead. From learning the truth firsthand. Anyone else he talks to would compromise Jekyll’s memory. What would finding out the truth do to Poole? Could Enfield keep his mouth shut? … Dare Utterson risk finding out?
I think he’d just keep it secret, keep it safe. If he did carry on through life, he’d be doing it with a new layer to the facade he already wore daily. He’d have to carry on, hear the platitudes—“Terribly sorry for your loss.” “Fine man, that Dr. Jekyll.” “London is all the poorer now.” “Good man, good man.” “How’ve you been holding up?”—and try to roll with it. Holding all that knowledge and emotion behind the facade. Confiding in no one.
Like his friend.
