Now, may I present you:
Fawn: Jean-Yves Moreau

Neil got his unhinged, mental, bullshit-spewing mouth from his mama. Stuart was in the book for all of 4 pages in tsc and was just as blunt, unfiltered, making the same off the wall comments his nephew does. shit runs in the family clearly

hear me out
Jeremy’s pov is the most avoidant to this moment, like, what are his issues? “he was different before the therapy” tells us so damn little. family issues? was he suicidal? ed? wretched little runaway? sibling issues? like hell nora wtf give us some NOT THAT traumatised kid or someone that’ll be opened like more like a little bit of like their like life of like something like— I’m begging?
with Neil, this little lying thing, we knew SOMETHING about him since the first page, we knew about at least his mother’s burned corpse but Jeremy? Hell I’m curious. Like I was curious about Jean and now his man? should we wait for another book about him? he’s like Neil’s “I’m fine” but concentrated like 100500x times, he’s so fine he doesn’t need to tell it even.

Too bad Andrew wasn’t there to see Neil make the fbi wait for him to finish his little drinky drink. He would’ve loved that shit

Okay but the fact that AFTG, a selfpublished bookseries, therefore without any official advertising whatsoever, has been trending almost constantly for the last, like, five days!? And frequently at first place!? A feat several well advertised tv-series can't pull off!? Incredible. These books are so genuinely loved that it has spread from person to person without any help from a publisher. That is truly remarkable. Well done Nora!

The King's Men - Epilogue
Day: Saturday, April 27th / 28th* Time: 3:10 AM EST
Neil waits off to one side while the others file out, knowing Andrew will be the last to leave. Wymack knows better than to stick around and follows his Foxes down the hall. Andrew brings Neil's duffel to him. Neil takes it but drops it off to one side. Andrew studies it for a moment, then shrugs out of his own bag and puts a hand to the wall near Neil's head. "Your close calls are getting old," Andrew says. "I thought you knew how to run." Neil affects confusion. "I thought you told me to stop running." "Survival tip: no one likes a smart mouth." "Except you," Neil reminds him. A year ago Neil had been a scared nobody, hating himself for signing the Foxes' contract and counting down days until he moved in with Wymack. Tonight he is the starting striker for the first-ranked team in the NCAA. In two years he'll be captain, and in four he'll graduate from Palmetto State. Neil will find a professional team first and then fight tooth and nail to make the cut for Court. Neil can already imagine the weight of an Olympics medal around his neck. He doesn't even care what color it is so long as it is his. Better than that bright future is what he already has: a court that will always be home, a family who'll never give up on him, and Andrew, who for once hasn't wasted their time denying that this thing between them might actually mean something to both of them. Neil didn't even notice the silence at first, too distracted by his dizzying thoughts. Now he can't help but smile and pull Andrew in. This is everything he wanted, everything he needed, and Neil is never letting go.
END OF ALL FOR THE GAME SERIES.

*Due to the Leap Year, I have opted to highlight the day rather than the date to keep the events in occurrence to the 2007 year. I will continue to mark both days accordingly.

Neil Josten’s reaction wasn’t: “How dare you compare Grayson to Drake”
It was more like: “Oh, so Grayson is your Drake… so now he must die”

I also think about the fact that it’s said that English is his third language, meaning Japanese is probably his second.
Makes me wonder when he learned English and if his fluency has to do with the fact that he hasn’t actually been speaking in it for as long as everybody thinks he has.
Tumblr media
this is such a little thing but I thought it was really cute how there are still a few english words that Jean doesn't know.
but then of course I got sad bc I thought about how 14 year old Jean probably didn't know nearly as much English as he does now and how confusing and scary it must have been for him to not understand what the people around him in the Nest were saying :(
