Jake made a deal with Fenestre–as long as he was inside his own house, he was safe from retribution.

Rachel knows that there are some things that only she and her cousin can do, and this is one of them.

We all know who did the arson at the end of Book 16.

Alternatively, the one where Jake and Rachel do terrible things because who else would be able to?

Which is honestly a genre of Animorphs fic I feel to be sadly lacking, but I digress.

Tags: animorphs jake berenson rachel berenson prince jake yeah so i honestly just should have tagged this 'family bonding' and 'arson' and it would have about summed it up but here i wrote the fic 4k of jake and rachel being terrible together because No One Else Can Do It which is honestly my aesthetic rachel and her bloody hands.... rachel my bold beloved bloodied sister anyway i still have that ask in my inbox about jake and rachel's relationship and once i've worked through the headcanon asks i SWEAR i'm gonna get to it but like honestly this this is why they need and depend on each other rachel needs direction--she's a gun with no guidance system and without a hand on the trigger she's just blanket ruination and jake needs someone to get their hands dirty; someone to shed blood and kill and still stand tall at the end of it and they both need someone who can watch them do the terrible thing and understand and still look at them the same the next day apparently i've used those first two tags before which honestly does not shock me idiot teenagers with a queue
