Summary
Jesper had long since felt like his life was missing something, but now he felt it more than ever. Indulging in gambling more frequently, drowning in cheap liquor, having one night stands with pretty guys and girls, and requesting very dangerous jobs for the Crows were all a means to an end. His fruitless endeavors to find that missing spark from his life were taking a serious toll that he himself failed to recognize.

Jesper Fahey has selective blindness but doesn't realize it. The condition is a cognitive limitation, not a vision problem, meaning that his brain filters out information as a defense. It began as a coping mechanism after the death of his mother, but the things he couldn't see or hear were so minor that it never had an effect on his life. That was, until the day he encountered a person he couldn't see or hear - someone he couldn't perceive in the slightest.

Based on the premise of the movie "Love Is Blind" (2019) You do not need to watch this film in order to understand the story, everything is explained in both the summary here and in the actual fic itself!

Summary
Wylan still hadn’t told Jesper, or any of the Crows for that matter, that he was, in fact, the son of Jan Van Eck; a notorious merchant among the Dregs of Ketterdam. How could Wylan possibly explain these thoughts that plagued him constantly? How could he express that every time someone raised their voice at him, he imagined his father’s cold and unloving stare piercing his skin? How could he tell Jesper, the man Wylan was convinced was the love of his life, that he had been lying to him about his identity throughout their entire relationship?
He couldn’t. He just couldn’t.

This is a show-canon take on the Van Eck Reveal where Wylan has nightmares about Jan Van Eck but can't let Jesper find out because that would mean telling him the truth about his past. Wylan would stop at nothing to rid himself of these nightmares, even if it means risking his own health and relationships.
