Ghost Of You (Jalex) by futureyoungrenegade

-COMPLETED- Jack Barakat ended his own life eight years ago at the young age of nineteen. Or... that was the common belief, anyway. Alex Gaskarth was left to deal with the heartbreak that was destined to haunt him every time winter came around, every time he heard a guitar, and, truthfully, with every breath that entered his lungs. Jack was painted on everything in Alex's mind. His hands felt cold without Jack's fingers intertwined with his; his lips felt useless without Jack's pressed against them; his heart felt empty without Jack's love there to fill it. Until, given some time and some good friends, everything changes. ==+== POV switches between multiple people. Inspired by "Ghost Of You" by 5 Seconds Of Summer. The only trigger warning is the mention that Jack has committed suicide in the past. Otherwise, this will be a safe fanfiction with the exception of cussing. Started: December 9, 2019. Finished: December 16, 2019.

{2009-10} Jack Barakat caught his band mate/secret boyfriend, Alex Gaskarth, cheating a few weeks back.

I don't know exactly what went on so if I get something wrong I'm sorry guys }

Keep me in your memory.(Jalex) by alexfapsgarth

Jack is very confident, and loved to have fun. He took risks, and made people laugh. He was extremely cocky. He loved to control people, and stood up for himself, and others. On the other hand, alex is very shy, and doesn't know what to do when jack puts him on the spot. Jack is determined to make alex his and alex is a bit annoyed. Alex is very nervous and self conscious when it comes to jack. Jack makes him uncomfortable, but alex secretly likes it. And no matter how hard he tries to deny it, to deny that he's gay for jack, he knows deep down he's starting to like him. Will alex go in denial, and reject jack, and hurt him emotionally? Or, will jack take control?

We've got scars on our future hearts (Jalex) by hityawiththeonetwo

Alex dealt with self harm when he was younger, that's over now though- he's better, until he's not. Struggling with the idea of self harming as an adult Alex keeps the issue to himself, but living on a tour bus with your band there's only so long you can keep something a secret. Warning: Contains graphic descriptions of self harm

Alex finds himself in a tough situation when feelings he has never felt towards a guy before start to form but does Jack feel the same?

You Keep Me Safe (Jalex) by futureyoungrenegade

-COMPLETED- I wasn't wanted or needed by anyone, and I knew that far too well by now. There was nothing left for me in the cruel wrath of life until I found everything in the deep brown eyes that belonged to a tall, sensitive boy by the name of Jack Barakat. The night that I thought would be another boring, sad chapter of my story ended up being the beginning of a whole new one. He kept me safe when not even my own house could. ==+== Told in Alex's POV. Trigger warnings: anxiety, abuse (verbal/physical), cussing. Disclaimer: This is partnered with "You Keep Me Sane" (which is not completed), but you do not need to read the other one before this one, or the other way around. It's the exact same story in another perspective. Started: Dec. 18, 2019 Finished: May 26, 2021
