Jerway

"Waylon Park, you couldn’t just… you couldn’t just keep your mouth shut. You couldn’t just play along. But you’re done talking now."

- Jeremy, attempting to kill Waylon.

Jerway is the slash ship between Jeremy Blaire and Waylon Park from the Outlast fandom.

Outlast: Whistleblower
In 2013, Waylon is a software engineer, working for the Murkoff Corporation at Mount Massive Asylum for the Criminally Insane, Jeremy being his “supervisor’s supervisor”. One day after completing his work on patient/inmate Eddie Gluskin, Waylon returns to the server room to retrieve the laptop he had left earlier. Earlier he sent an email to Miles Upshur, a freelance investigative journalist, whistleblowing on the inhumane acts and other illegal activities taking place. Waylon is ambushed by Jeremy and a group of security guards who shove him to the ground. Jeremy mocks Waylon for trying to email Miles, believing Waylon had not yet sent the email. Jeremy forcibly volunteers Waylon for the Morphogenic Engine. On Jeremy’s orders, two of the guards knock Waylon out cold and take him against his will to a restricted experimentation room.

Hours later, and after Waylon survives the hospital, he makes it to Mount Massive’s prison’s tower radio to call for help. Just as he is about to radio for help, Jeremy grabs the speaker and elbows Waylon in the face, knocking him down. He processes to beat the radio, rendering it useless. Waylon tries to run away, but Jeremy turns back to him, hitting him again before choking him, saying, ''“Waylon Park, you couldn’t just… you couldn’t just keep your mouth shut. You couldn’t just play along. But you’re done talking now.”'' Soon Jeremy hears the door of the room next door breaking as something large pounds on it, breaking it down. He releases Waylon in order to save himself, not before telling him, “Do me a favor and die here, Park.”

Near the very end of Waylon’s time attempting to survive the asylum, he comes across Jeremy lying against the asylum’s main doors, holding a wound to his abdomen. Upon seeing him, Waylon writes the “” note. As Jeremy sees him, he is surprised to find that Waylon has survived. He asks Waylon if he’d like to make deal — “You help me, I’ll help you.” As Waylon moves closer to the doors, trying to escape, Jeremy jumps him and stabs him in the abdomen, grunting for Waylon to just “fucking die already”. Waylon falls back to the floor, clutching to his open wound. He crawls backward with Jeremy hastily limping after him, saying, “No one can know!” Moments later Jeremy is picked up by the Walrider/Miles and is hosted high in the air before being exploded from the inside out, Jeremy’s dismembered body landing next to Waylon. Picking himself back up, Waylon finally escapes after a night of pure hell.
