Riding the Edge, 24, Jack/Salazar

Occasionally I scare myself. So hey, I guess that makes this appropriate for Hallowe'en!

Riding the Edge (24, Jack/Salazar)
Salazar liked knives. (warning: graphic)

I tried to experiment with a different narrative voice for this one -- Hemingway-flavored, I would call it; seemed appropriate for Jack. Let me know if it works?

Mother. Of. God.

I'm sitting here in my chair with my head thrown back, reeling from the impact, like that cheesy 1980s ad (for what was it, blank tapes? speakers? surround sound?)

The voice works. The climax is terrifying.

Yep. Wow. Holy fucking shit. I am so happy you wrote this.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's the way it happened.

Whoa.
Woah. Too bad we'll never get this part of the backstory on the show. :) I can't decide if this was hot or disturbing or both...
Oh, my. The voice definitely works. This gave me shivers.
*ouch* And oh yeah... love me some dirty-wrong-hotness. The ending is so perfectly Jack; the mission is everything *shiver*

Thanks for writing this and sharing.
You are *so* not helping with my addiction to 24. I'm trying to kick it this year, and now, now I have to go back for more. That was so disturbingly good.
And The needle was so tiny you didn't even feel it going in...

Dirty bad wrongness.

So good!
Wow, wow, wow.

Wow.

I second the notion that the above is exactly what happened.

Wow.
I generally do not like Hemingway-esque writing. But apparently it is merely a question of the subject matter, because this was bloody entrancing. :-)

The first thing that went through my mind when Chase talked about the "things" that Jack had put himself though was: "Oh my God, I bet you anything they raped the poor bastard!" The immediate next thought was, "Oh, damn, there's no way we get to see that."

And this scene was perfect. Exactly how I have envisioned WOULD envision something like that happening. :-)

Totally hot where is the sequel
WOW

and it would have taken that to break Jack, he's so hard when it comes to beatings we all know they wouldn't have worked, it was great to see him written acting and talking like he does. Brilliant!

*giggles* I realise this is an old fic but I'm re-watching the series and thanking [info]lydia_petze for the rec
This just broke my brain. Damn.
Holy shit.

Um. Wow.

*ahem* What I mean to say is: this is disturbingly well-written, and makes a great deal of sense -- clearly Jack lost something of himself in Mexico, and a "mere" brutal rape would have been horrible but wouldn't have touched him at his core. A rape which was perversely pleasurable -- that would shake his self-image and leave him unsure of himself in a way that he's probably never been before. It would break him, in fact.

You get over both the pleasure and the humiliation very, very well. Brava!
OMG!
That's hot!
Thank you very much for this awesome story! :)
That last line! The overall feeling of it all. Thank you!
