This is Jack Mercer's life, from beginning to end. Language and elements similar to the movie.

Jack never made it home for Ma's funeral. ab·er·ra·tion n 1: prevents light from being brought into sharp focus, disenabling the formation of a clear image.

Jack had hoped to leave before Evelyn woke up. Saying goodbye was never part of his plans and he should have been halfway to New York before she realized he was gone. Of course, when had anything ever gone according to plan?

As familiar as a smoke, but as fast as a speeding bullet. Life was good for Jack Mercer. He had a family, he had a girl, he had a future. What the hell happened? Well, it started with the girl...

Sofi's thoughts on Jack, includes memories. One-Shot. Rated for language and safety. Mostly just angsty at end, and is NOT a romance between Jack and Sofi. First Four Brothers fanfic. Please be nice.

Jack was just settling into his life at the Mercers when an unexpected ghost from his past resurfaced. Now thrown back into the world he thought he had left behind, the brotherhood he has with the Mercers takes on a new importance.

In 30 years she only came across four lost causes. Four delinquents so far gone she couldn't find anyone to take them in. -You don't really believe that, do you? Only four, in a city this size? Come on now.

And she would say, "Jackie. There’s no reason to steal your own toothbrush anymore." Because I would take it and I would put it in my sock drawer….

-'Jack Mercer looked exactly the same in death as he had in life.' Lieutenant Green has a conversation with someone he did not expect to see again.

“She was the still point of the turning world, man.” Jack Mercer had no idea where that thought came from or why he suddenly couldn't take his eyes off of Cecilia Wyman. One thing was for certain, his senior year just got a lot more interesting.

When the power goes out, how exactly do a bunch of guys like the Mercer brothers keep themselves busy? Rated for language. Oneshot.

I hate to break it to you, big brother, but Jackie’s made it a point not to give a damn about what you think. You could tell him the sky was blue and he’d call you a jackass.

Their first mistake was pointing a gun at Bobby Mercer. Their last mistake was pointing one at his baby brother.

Angel, Bobby, and Jerry. They were his family. The only family he'd ever known, and he wasn't ready to leave them yet. Alternate Ending.
