OKAY OKAY here we goooo an annoyingly long-ish post about all my thoughts on The Sunshine Court

Spoilers Spoilers Spoilersss you've been warned

First things first it is so interesting to see Nora writing from not one but TWO new people's perspective. Jean's perspective is just devastating being inside his head is heartbreaking the constant fear and panic and how much of his energy is used on just pushing down every memory of what was done to him. His coping mechanisms are terrifying and i truly do hope by the end of book 2 he has a healthier way of dealing with it bc baby boy stop hurting yourself :( Every sentence was so painful to read. But also his resilience the entire time to get through it no matter what, god i fucking love him!!! He is a fighter.

Jeremy's perspective is sooooo refreshing. He is such a little sweetheart i could cry. The fact that he sends hand written letters and he's so caring and genuine but he can also be so stern. When he dropped that "i asked you a question" to Lucas fkehdjdfjdh OK SIR. I'M SAT. His relationship with the family butler is so endearing as well i need more background on that for sure! My only one criticism is that he didn't have enough pov chapters and i'm hoping we'll learn more in the second book of course because there's still so much about him and his (dysfunctional? toxic?) family dynamic that we don't know yet but also i'm greedy and i wanna know EVEYTHING about him !!!

Kevin and Jean are so just tragic it actually breaks my fucking heart like "you didn't have to slit my throat on the way out" JEAN??? and "promise me you won't try again. I can't lose you." KEVIN??? And the fact that Jean to this day is still keeping that promise. Also Jean's obvious but secret long term crush on Kevin the way it's subtly dropped every time Jean has to stamp down on his desire's and "temptations" GOD PLEASE I CAN'T STAND IT

SPEAKING OF!!! BISEXUAL JEAN ??? BI JEAN??? BI JEANNNN !!!!

Neil and Jean oh my God like where do i even start?? The guilt Jean feels at what happened to Neil in the Nest and him finally calling him by his name after Riko's death and telling him his game was good. And Neil seriously needs to give himself more credit for how much of a caring person he is because the way he indirectly told Jean that he thinks he is worth saving and didn't even hesitate before asking Stuart to send someone after That Guy after what Jean told him. Neil Josten the man that you are!!!

Jean's little sister Elodie what a beautiful name. Them being so close and him reading to her. The way he found out about her death jolted me differently. It was so awful and i'm so sorry Jean didn't get to see her grow up and meet her again.

Renee and Jean oh my god. Jean thinking she's beautiful (bitch me toooo) And the whole right person wrong time ugh i can't stand it. Him wearing her necklace all the time, enough that Jeremy always notices it. And unabashedly stealing her picture from the foxes lounge. Like he did not give a fuck. He said this one is mine. One good reason to stay alive being rainbows i'm gonna FKSJSKDHDH. Theirs would be such a soft love.

Speaking of soft loves Laila and Cat are EVERYTHINGGGG. God they are so cute with their little domestic life and their rich gay boy son who crashes on their couch with his cardboard cut out dog. That whole friendship dynamic is beautiful. Their fierce protectiveness and care over Jean as well and the patience they have with him even after the little kitchen incident. When Cat took Jean out for a drive on her motorcycle god that was such a heart warming moment and Jean helping them cook as well and becoming the girls' little sous chef it's so cute so endearing !!!

FINALLY FINALLY THE JEREJEAN DYNAMIC

PLEASE I'M GONNA SCREAM

Jeremy being the one who told Jean that Riko was dead i don't even know what to begin with THAT like hhhhhhh. The way they're both stupidly attracted to each other but won't/can't do anything about it. THE WHOLE "say yes Jeremy" SCENE WTF WAS THATTT I WAS GOING INSANEEEE. Both of them having to stop mid sentence when they catch the other looking FINE as hell. Jean being so obvious that even Lucas picks up on the way he looks at Jeremy. Jeremy being there to ground Jean in a Moment and helping him come down from it. Grabbing his face and telling him he's okay. Moving into the room with him to make him feel more comfortable !! The way Jean grabs Jeremy's chin (boiiiii). Jeremy constantly reminding Jean that he is NOT A RAVEN ANYMORE no matter how many times he has to say it. Jeremy saying he'll wait as long as it takes until Jean speaks to him. JEREMY GIVING HIM A HUG AND JEAN CLUTCHING DESPERATELY TO HIS SHIRT FUUCUFHDHSJHSSUHDH and then the "will you help me?" And the "Anything you need" AND THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE A CERAMICS CLASS TOGETHER?!?!?!!!! i can't i can't i can't i caaan'ttt

There's so much more to say but i'm gonna leave it at this for now because i need to go re-read it again and take my time with it this time round but i really could not have asked for anything better Nora truly outdid herself here !!! I'm forever grateful she blessed us with this after so long.

Here are some recs with the secret relationship trope! Most of them are andreil but the last one is jerejean :) i organized them by word count to make it easier.

The Enemy of My Friend is My Super Enemy 2k

Grace stands in solidarity with her teammate and friend Andrew Minyard.

Therefore, she hates that asshole Neil Josten.

don’t hate the player, hate the game 2k

Allison smirks suddenly. “At least I got an up close view of that ass.”

“Not a total loss then.” Nicky grins at her and they fist bump.

Kevin just sits there watching them, silently judging them and siping his vodka.

(neil is a hot stranger at the bar. people try and get with him. kevin drinks copious amounts of alcohol.)

Raven's Nest Burning 2k

While Andrew and the Foxes were in the stadium parking lot, next to the team bus, waiting for Wymack to appear, Evermore's East Tower exploded.

Pointless 3k

The Foxes have only ever known him as the vicious, vindictive Monster he’s portrayed himself as. Now, he’s a mystery no one knows how to solve; hard and violent for strangers, soft and gentle for this boy with the sharp smile.

5 times the Foxes accidentally spied on Andrew and his secret boyfriend and the 1 time they actually get to meet him.

Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day 4k

Neil has one of the worst days and Andrew is able to make it a little bit better.

Welcome to my Professor Neil and Professional Exy Player Andrew world! This is probably going to be a series where I explore more of this little AU that I love dearly!

i'll keep you 4k

Aaron asked, “What’s your deal? What’s going on?”

Andrew had no choice. He stood up, walked to the bowl of freshly cut melon surrounded by pools of watermelon juice and an assortment of black seeds, and plucked a piece of the fruit. It was dark red and glistening and sweet on his tongue.

It tasted like ash. Like a dirty little secret. Like a mistake.

The Bet 5k

“I bet the monster will come alone again this year,” he says, his voice scratchy like the sound of a blender in the early hours of the morning.

“I’ll take that bet,” Aaron says, face a blank slate, anger cooling behind his eyes.

“Five hundred bucks,” Seth replies, eyes sparkling in amusement. He’s got the face of someone who thinks they’ve won.

“A thousand,” Aaron counters. Andrew’s eyebrow twitches up imperceptibly, a feeling like a laugh bubbling up his throat.

(In which Neil and Andrew are secretly married.)

it's disillusion, and confusion (this illusion of me) 5k

“Okay, kid. You can fend for yourself I’m sure, but you won’t be able to beat the guy whose car this is. He’s dangerous.” Ignoring the way Neil snorted, Matt barreled on. “Like, really dangerous.” He trailed off; Neil looked as though he was torn between amusement and anger.

or; 5 times the foxes were confused over neil and andrew's relationship and the 1 time andrew made it clear

Not-So-Secret Someone 6k

Eight times the Foxes discover that Andrew is seeing someone and one time they meet Andrew’s elusive partner

about u 9k

Neil and Andrew have been friends since they were kids. Recently though, those feelings had turned into more. While they try to keep their relationship secret because they’re scared of their families’ reactions, they go on a family beach vacation. Chaos ensues.

Brother of Mine 12k

'Aaron should have known something was going on with Andrew when he had agreed to change their deal.

Thoughts of Katelyn, of not having to hide her anymore, took up all the space in Aaron’s mind and he never wondered why Andrew would have relented so easily.

Looking back, it should have been obvious what was going on.'

OR: 5 times Aaron should have realized Andrew had somebody, and the one time he met him.

Odd Eye 16k

Andrew spends most of his childhood thinking he is a psychopath. He is not. Andrew is, and always will be, just Andrew.

That Isn't Nothing 38k

A look into the lives of pro exy players Andrew Minyard and Neil Josten. The world says they hate each other, but when Andrew gets transferred to Neil's team, their teammates begin seeing something else between them.

Sixteen hours 120k

started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this (affectionate)

Jean and Jeremy secretly start dating in their final year at USC.

In my top three favourite jerejean fics of all time!

chapter 6 thoughts: (spoilers ahead!)

oh. fuck.

he was king. now he’s a martyr.

holy shittttt

aftg really brings us all together, this is random but i love talking to other fan accounts about the books

anyway fanfics will no longer have to speculate when rikos funeral was, and if kevin attended or not (or if he had a mental breakdown about it)

also neil u have no tact babe and i love u for it

oh renee ur so lovely ur so insightful (neil u should listen to what she has to say)

jean and his ‘i won’t grieve him’ ❤️🫶

- ‘promise me’ jean said with a desperation that should have kill him, nathaniel didn’t hesitate, ‘i promise’ SHUT THE FUCK UP I LOVE THEM THANK U NORA THIS IS EVERYTHING I WANTED FROM THIS BOOK

THE SWAP FROM NATHANIEL TO NEIL IS JUST AS POWERFUL FROM JEANS PERSOECTIVE IN TSC AS IT WAS IN FROM NEILS IN TKM I LITERALLY CANNOT THE PARALLELS ARE KILLING ME

it’s 1:40 am and i’ve just made a cup of tea to keep myself awake

feeling many things about jeans perusal of the fox photo wall and taking renee’s picture

i know these motherfuckers aren’t accusing neil kevin and jean of abandoning that cunt and leading to his ‘suicide’

WE ARE THE RIGHT PEOPLE I THINK JUST NOT THE RIGHT TIME (look i am admittedly not a jean/renee shipper but good god they are so sweet in this)

A COOL EVENING BREEZE AND RAINBOWS

screaming as silently as i can rn

- petition for someone to put summertime sadness on the jean playlist

whattttt is the mystery about jeremy’s family?? what is this fabled fall banquet that tore his family in half im so intrigued i have to know more

ALSO JEREMY IS IN THERAPY AND HAS SOME SORT OF FAMILY ISSUES I KNEW IT IM SURE THATS ON A BINGO SOMEWHERE

jeremy dad of the trojans checking to see that they’re safe and also cody first cannon non binary character??? pls say yes

accidentally fell asleep in the middle of my planned all nighters whoops it’s currently 7 am

chapter 7:

“I like to indulge,” Jeremy said with a dimpled smile. Kevin’s words mocked him in the back of his thoughts: “Some of them you like.”

i did. notice this in chapter 2 or whatever but is this?? are we getting jerejean???? that’s what this means righ??

jeremy wdym ‘oh to be the pampered elite’ u have a butler??

jean defending kevin saying he’s earned the right to be arrogant be still my beating heart i love these stubborn mother fuckers

He was years away, watching a different beautiful boy lean in close to say, Will you teach me when he’s not watching? It could be our secret.

STOP IT RN

chapter 8!!

flicked him a sly look. “Easy on the eyes, maybe.”

AHHHHH!!!

also so glad that there’s 100% confirmation cat and laila are dating (shared bedroom!)

the description of laila and cats lounge room is so soft and cozy im so jealous i wish i was there

barkbark von barkenstein u will never top sir fat cat mcatterson (although props to nora for always having simultaneously the worst and most creative names for pets)

jean telling cat she’s a good player but misses every ball at her hips is literally every raven! (someone) fic ever come to life where they meet a relatively normal other team and have absolutely no tact or awareness of what others considered rude and immediately tell the other players what their weaknesses are (i’m obsessed)

“Yes,” he said, and if he didn’t sound sure, he at least sounded angry. “Let them all burn. I hope none of them survive.” BABY I LOVE U IM SO PROUD OF U UR SAFE NOW FUCK RIKO FUCK THE RAVENS FUCK THE MASTER

“Oh, he’s good. A bit rude, but I like him. I think we’re going to be good friends.”

i’d say the exact same thing

*jeremy giving jean the keys*

well it’s not andreil levels of drama and symbolism but love a good comparison

or they do not care enough about her wellbeing. It’s unforgivable either way.”

giggling a bit over jean being up in arms about boba knowing that he’d be seriously unimpressed with me if he knew how much boba i drank

he wants to know what it was for

AND WHAT IF THAT LINE BROKE ME NORA?? AND WHAT THEN??

The Ravens had given up everything to be the undefeated champions, only to be destroyed last month by a tiny team from South Carolina.

I CANT DO THIS ANYMORE

“Loving something is not enough,” Jean told him, right on cue. “When is the last time you enjoyed playing?” Jeremy asked. “Irrelevant,” Jean said. “I am Jean Moreau; I am perfect Court. I do not need to enjoy it to be the best backliner in the NCAA.”

that was what Jean felt safest in, Jeremy would back his decision wholeheartedly.

LITERALLY LEAVE ME ALONE

chapter 9999

also i’m so glad that we have jeremy/laila/cat friendship like in fics and stuff they were always best buddies coz they were the only trojan characters named in the books but it’s great to see they’re actually good friends in cannon

“I need you to listen to me for one moment,” Laila said, “and I need you to believe me when I say it. Fuck Coach Moriyama.”

AGREED AGREED AGREED FUCK THAT CUNT

COOKING LESSONS WITH JEAN THIS IS THE WHOLESOME CONTENT I SIGNED UP FOR

cat talking macronutrients and promising to help with his diet so it’s still familiar but more fun in order to begin healing jeans relationship with food is so important to me

nora bleaching jeremy’s hair blonde after telling us she was shocked we all headcannoned him as blonde while she thought he was brunette is so funny to me,, don’t worry fan artists u do not have to change a thing!

(frosted tips made me giggle too, jeremy u pussy)

“Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?”

chapter 10

jean learning basic household chores like sorting and washing clothes and deep cleaning the apartment and learning his way around a supermarket <3

LAILA CAT JEAN FRIENDSHIP IS REAL

Afternoons were filled with whatever the women were in the mood for that day, be it wandering downtown, shopping, or combing through estate sales.

Jean went where they took him because it was better than being left in the house alone,

COOKING IS HEALING JEAN ITS A COMFORT THING SHUT THE FUCK UP THIS IS EVERYTHUNG HES SO REAL FOR THAT

Ravens graduated; they didn’t leave.

fuck if that didn’t just stop my heart

i definitely should have been more wary of the trigger warnings. if anyone is wanting to read the book but is worried about certain parts, i’d be happy to let y’all know what sections are triggering so u can try and skip around them.

But Jean was not a Raven, and Wayne was dead.

FUCK YEAH BABY NOT ANYMORE U ARENT

the thought of that quiet space with its single bed was so repulsive he turned toward the living room instead. - this is so important to me

He could sense the others’ presence even if they weren’t around to bother him, and that was enough to take the edge off the loneliness eating at his heart.

literally end my life i’m so happy for jean, he’s healing slowly but surely

this was better than anything he’d ever had. It was worlds more than he deserved. He feared it as much as he wanted it;

JEAN U DO DESERVE IT I PROMISE U

wait wtf,, zane is reacher??? in literally every raven fic ever reacher is the most abusive character other than riko

OMFG BEACH SCENE??? THEYRE GONNA TAKE JEAN TO THE BEACH??? CHECK THAT OFF EVERY SINGLE BINGO CARD MADE FOR THIS BOOK

^ yeah i wrote that two seconds before then reading jeans panic attack about drowning and the trigger of riko waterboarding him and neil and now i want to cry

My Jean/tsc playlist "a cool evening breeze. rainbows. open roads. friends" so far, explained. Part headcanon, part canon-related:

Vampire by Olivia Rodrigo:

Ooh, auch auch auch. This chorus makes me think of both Zane ("You made me look so naive"/"The way you sold me for parts") and Grayson ("As you sunk your teeth into me"/"Bloodsucker, famefucker"/"Bleeding me dry like a goddamn vampire".

The verses don't really fit, but the chorus.. ouch. The vibe is also both angry and sad, and I want Jean to get angry.

Daffodil - Florence + The Machine:

Ofc had to include this bc of the title. Also:

"A generation soaked in grief" -> Jean, Kevin, even Riko to some extent.

"Sometimes, I see so much beauty I don't think that I can cope", Jean counting reasons to live!!

Fare Well by Hozier

If Jean wasn't the hedgehog under the wheel (earlier lyric) idk what he was. But, "out here trying to feel good again". A boy too soft for the world, but still trying to heal.

My Kink Is Karma by Chappell Roan:

I just think Jean deserves to feel vindictive and petty about Riki's breakdown and subsequent death. As a treat.

Perfect Day by Lou Reed:

Teammates. Friends.

Too Sweet by Hozier:

Works mostly for Renee/Jean right now, but I like to think of it as a JereJean song as well. Jeremy might be fucked up (definitely hinted to), but he's also very optimistic in tsc. Also it's a song from Jean's pov anyway.

Never Let Me Go by Florence + The Machine:

Water related trauma, but coming out on the other side though bruised and battered.

Good For You by Olivia Rodrigo:

I ALSO think Jean gets to be mad and bitter at Kevin, even though I love Kevin. I just think Jean deserves to grieve and be mad.

Bad Idea by Girl In Red:

Renee/Jean!!

The Start of Forever

reposting an old jerejean piece i wrote literally three years ago largely so i can look back and laugh after reading the sunshine court

“You should come home with me,” Jeremy says it so casually one Thursday night that Jean barely even thinks about the words.

“We are home.” He mutters, focused on mincing garlic for a recipe that Renee sent him.

Jeremy sighs but Jean doesn’t even have to look up to know he was still smiling. He also knew the second he looked up he’d be smiling too. “You’re not wrong but I mean my family home. We have a long weekend and I’m going to go visit them. I’d love it if you came with me.”

There’s the usual enthusiasm in Jeremy’s voice but quieter, mixed with some hesitant hope. Jean could say no and Jeremy would drop it instantly, no questions asked. He spends a few minutes mulling it over, focusing his attention on what he’s cooking.

In the corner of his eye, he can see Jeremy take a seat at the counter. His boyfriend rests his chin in his palm. Jean returns the soft smile Jeremy gives him.

“How many days?”

“Three nights, four days. We’d leave Monday morning or afternoon.” Jeremy replies, adding on a moment later, “and we can always leave earlier if you choose to come. All you’d have to do is say the word.”

Jean hums, considering. “It’s not a no.”

They talk about anything and everything while Jean finishes cooking and Jeremy jumps in to help. They speak mostly in French and Jean occasionally pokes fun at Jeremy’s “horrible” accent. It had admittedly improved but Jean wouldn’t let it go and teased Jeremy at least once every time they held a conversation in French.

He doesn’t bring up Jeremy’s offer until after they finish eating and start washing the dishes. His body is pressed up against Jeremy’s, making things a tad bit inconvenient for them both but the contact is nice.

“Your family will be there, no?”

“My moms, Liv, and Jenna will be for sure.” Jeremy tells him, “Mel wants to visit if she can and she’ll bring Oliver and Bella with her even if Kamryn can’t come with. Rylie will probably stay for a few hours on Saturday too.”

“Meeting your family is a pretty big step.”

“Which is one of the reasons I completely understand if you want to say no. I know they’d all love to meet you but if you’re not ready for that it’s completely okay.”

“I think it’d be nice,” Jean admits quietly, staring at the plate he’s rinsing instead of looking at Jeremy. “We can leave early if I ask?”

He hears the fork Jeremy was drying click against the counter and feels his boyfriend reach up and squeeze his arm. It’s an awkward motion with the way they’re pressed together and Jeremy trying not to move away.

“Of course, we’ll be gone before you can say supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.”

Jean blinks at him, looking extremely confused. “Say what?”

“You’re joking right?” When Jean shakes his head very slowly Jeremy sighs though his lips are quirking up and it’s enough to soothe any worries Jean might have about Jeremy actually being upset.

“We’re watching Mary Poppins tonight. And we’re gonna listen to supercalifragilisticexpialidocious until you can sing the entire thing.”

“I don’t sing.”

“Then I’ll sing the entire thing and you can just tell me when you have the lyrics memorized.”

Jean clears his throat, raising his eyebrows. “I think we should be making plans and packing to visit your family. Not singing children’s songs.”

“We can do both.”

“Sounds torturous.”

---

Jean absolutely despises the way he has to resist humming supercalifragilisticexpialidocious during the drive. But for the first half-hour, the car is too silent and the stupid song has been stuck in his head since yesterday night. True to his word Jeremy had turned on Mary Poppins and then proceeded to ramble about how much his niece and nephew, Oliver and Bella, loved the movie. He didn’t stop talking, whether it was in French or English until the damn song came on and proceeded to scream-sing the words.

He lasts until 10:45 am before he turns on the radio, cranking it up until a random pop song Jean doesn’t know the name of was near deafening. Jeremy shoots him an odd look but doesn’t ask any questions as Jean tips his head back against the headrest. Three songs later he’s fast asleep and it’s only after two more songs play that Jeremy dares to turn down the volume. Lest the change somehow manage to wake Jean.

He dozes for the next hour and a half, occasionally waking up only to shift in his seat, yawn, and promptly fall back asleep. His third time waking up he stretches his hand out onto the console and Jeremy subconsciously takes one hand off the steering wheel to intertwine their fingers.

The final time he wakes up it’s near 1:00 and it’s Jeremy’s voice coaxing him into consciousness. He’s talking about the most random things but pauses when notices Jean peeling his eyes open to glare at him. Jean’s met with the most blinding and brilliant smile and his expression softens, giving Jeremy an attempt at a tired smile.

“We’ll be there in a few minutes, I figured you’d appreciate being woken up before we get there. But I didn’t know if touching you would be okay.”

Jean yawns, scrunching up his neck and shoulders. He mutters something in French that Jeremy doesn’t catch. Turning in his seat to face Jeremy, which isn’t very comfortable with the seatbelt, he leans his head against the headrest again but keeps his eyes open and watches Jeremy drive. It takes him until they pull into the driveway to finally feel awake and he immediately grabs onto Jeremy’s hand, not even remembering letting go the first time.

“You still okay with this?” Jeremy asks when he turns into the cul de sac.

Jean nods, focused on fiddling with Jeremy’s fingers. “Yes.”

There are two girls rushing outside the moment Jeremy pulls into the driveway. One of them, the one who looks youngest who Jean assumes is Liv, wrenches open the driver’s door for Jeremy and climbs into the car to hug him. One of Jeremy’s moms, Isabelle, comes around to the passenger side to open the door for Jean. She has a kind smile and face that shows years of bright smiles and laughter. On the surface, she and Jeremy looked nothing alike but if you looked a little deeper the happiness she radiated was the same as Jeremy, something akin to warm sunlight. Jean had to resist scowling at himself, it was Jeremy who had made him sappy like this. The second he stepped out of the car he offered her a hand which she enthusiastically shook.

“It’s nice to meet you,” Jean tells her, unsure of whether to address her by her first name or Mrs. Knox or even ma’am.

“And it’s wonderful to meet you, Jean. We’ve been waiting for this since Jeremy called us just gushing about how amazing you are.”

“Ma!” Jeremy exclaims, a red flush crawling up his ears and neck. Jean can’t help the amused smile that forces itself onto his lips and Jeremy rolls his eyes when he sees it. “Oh, that’s just the ego boost you need. It’s true though, you’re amazing and I could talk about it for hours.”

Now it was Jean’s turn to blush, pursing his lips and looking at the cement. Isabelle lets go of his hand but not before squeezing it between her own in a comforting gesture.

“He very nearly did by the way.” Stephanie Knox, Jeremy’s other mom, drawls. “This boy would not have shut up about you if he didn’t have early morning practices to worry about. It was the only reason he stopped and went to bed.”

“Mom, do we have to start with this immediately? We just got here.”

She pins Jeremy with a look that Jean can only describe as a mom look, despite having no clue what that would actually be. “Alright, alright. I’ll give it a rest until your sisters get here, I’m sure they’ve got plenty of stories they’d love to tell your honey.” Then she turns to the “honey” in question who is probably the most terrified he has ever been in his life and is praying to god it doesn’t show on his face.

“It’s lovely to have you here, Jean. We were thrilled when Jeremy called and said you’d decided to join us this weekend.”

“I’m happy to be here, Jeremy’s told me a lot about you all.”

“And Jeremy’s told us a lot about you.” Jenna, who was 14 if Jean was remembering right, shimmies her shoulders and waggles her eyebrows. Her grin widens when Jeremy pinches her shoulder and hisses at her to shut up.

“A lot a lot a lot a lot a lot,” Liv emphasizes, nodding furiously with wide eyes.

Jean shoots Jeremy a panicked look as subtly as he can, having no idea how to respond to all this. It seems he wasn’t subtle because both Isabelle and Stephanie seem to pick up on it.

“Alright let’s head inside. Jeremy, you can help Liv and me in the kitchen.” Stephanie says, already ushering her two youngest kids to the door.

Jeremy trails behind slowly, waiting for Jean to join him. Isabelle is a few steps behind them and shuts the door with a quiet click.

“You two can grab your stuff in a little bit, for now, you can just relax and visit. Unless you’d prefer to unpack now.”

“It can wait-” Jeremy’s sentence is interrupted by Stephanie’s voice coming from the kitchen.

“Damn right it can wait, get your tush in here and get started on seasoning this chicken.”

“You don’t mind chicken tacos for dinner right?” Isabelle asks. “We thought about trying out something French but Jeremy said not to bother.”

Jean nods, letting out a small nervous chuckle. “Yeah, that’s fine by me. I’m not picky.”

“Liar!” Jeremy calls out from the kitchen. “You are one of the pickiest eaters I have ever met, you won’t even touch half of the stuff Laila makes.”

“I promise I am not that bad,” Jean tells Isabelle, eyes wide. “Laila is a horrible cook, I didn’t know we were supposed to keep that a secret until it was too late.”

Isabelle gives him a toothy grin as Jeremy’s laughter rings out and she reaches out to squeeze Jean’s arm. “I’ll show you around the house and then you can help me pick out some board games.”

Jean almost bangs his head against the nearest wall when he nods again. This was by far the most awkward experience of his life and it was with Jeremy’s family for fucks sake. Though he could always reassure himself with the fact that he never properly learned how to socialize with people, especially those who are virtually strangers. He’ll treat this as a learning experience and hopefully interact normally with Jeremy’s family.

Besides, how difficult could dinner and some board games be? If it doesn’t go well they can always leave.

---

Dinner is one of the most awkward experiences of Jean’s life. It starts when Rylie flings the front door open and Jean absolutely will not admit to how much it startled. Mel arrives about fifteen minutes later with the twins at her heels giggling like maniacs. When Bella ends up latching onto Jean’s leg he throws Jeremy a panicked look and only gets his asshole of a boyfriend laughing in return.

Mel’s wife Kamryn is unable to make it but Mel makes up for the lack of her presence by showing Jean a bajillion photos. Rylie groans at that and sits on Jean’s other side on the couch, pulling out her phone to show Jean some photos of the animals from the shelter she works at.

When Jeremy trails into the main room, an insane amount of food balanced precariously in his hands, he shoos both of his sisters away after placing the food on the coffee table. Though he wants to Jean doesn’t question the fact that they seem to eating dinner in the main room and not the dining room.

Rylie settles down on the floor, pulling Liv into her lap even as her younger sister squeals and squirms before settling down so she can steal food from Rylie’s plate. Jenna tries to sneak off to her room before Stephanie calls her back and she plops into an armchair with a small huff. Mel dishes up food for her twins first before telling them to be careful about spilling anything and then starts on two more plates. Jean doesn’t pay her too much attention, not when Jeremy is laying back on the couch and pulling Jean into him. A position Jean still can’t believe Jeremy actually enjoys, he still worries that he’s crushing Jeremy despite all reassurance Jeremy has given him.

He blinks, bemused when Mel holds out the plates in their direction. Jerking her head in a signal for them to grab the plates. Jean does so, muttering a thanks, and silently wishes he could fly into the sun.

Gradually he begins to relax, Jeremy’s arm wrapped around his shoulders and across his chest something grounding to focus on. He stays on the outskirts of the conversation despite Jeremy, Isabelle, and Stephanie’s best attempts. It’s only when Rylie exclaims something in French, catching Jean’s attention, that he really starts to include himself. He starts by conversing with just Rylie, fully in French, and soon enough Jenna and Liv are asking for him to teach them French and it escalates from there until Jean is smiling and laughing and he feels more comfortable than he expected. Still awkward but he feels okay in his ability to carry a conversation with them all.

“You’ve never played Clue?” Mel exclaims as if he’s personally offended her.

“No…” Jean raises his brows, confused.

“Alright everyone clear off the table, we’re playing Clue right now. Jeremy I can’t believe you’ve let this happen.”

“Shut the hell up, Mel.” Jeremy mumbles, face pressed against Jean’s hair. “He’s doing his best.”

Jean pinches him in the side, thinking about Jeremy chastising him about Mary fucking Poppins last night.

That night Jean discovers he really is quite horrible at Clue. It doesn’t work the same way as observing people and things in real life. No one knows what’s going on. It’s basically pure luck. Jeremy looks far too happy about his contempt for the game.

“Finally something you’re bad at,” Jeremy sighs in French. Rylie laughs into her hand and Jean glares.

Needless to say Jean loses every time. Mel wins every time, which makes sense with how much she clearly loves the game. And Jean discovers he doesn’t quite hate being around Jeremy’s family, he’d almost say he loves it actually.

---

Jean is sprawled out on his back on the bed, watching Jeremy unpack the rest of his stuff (cons to not being a light traveler. Jean’s grateful he has never and will never pack as much as his boyfriend) when Jeremy asks the question.

“So do you like them?” Jeremy sounds nervous, pursing his lips together.

Jean doesn’t like his worried expression and gives Jeremy one of his rare smiles in hopes of washing that nervousness away. “They’re amazing.”

“You mean it?”

“Of course I mean it, idiot.” Jean pauses when Jeremy sinks onto the mattress next to him and he takes a moment to wrap his arm around Jeremy and pull him closer. “They’re all very nice and I liked spending time with them. I liked seeing this part of your life and they obviously mean a lot to you.”

Jeremy tucks himself closer to Jean, tossing a leg across his torso. “They mean the world to me. Just like you do.”

Jean hums, pursing his lips to hide his smile. A moment later he gives into it, allowing a silly grin to curve his lip before pressing a kiss to Jeremy’s forehead. “I love you.”

“I love you too.”

“Awwwwww.”

Their heads snap up, spotting Liv, Jenna, Rylie, and Mel huddled in the doorway. All four of them are smiling but they all flush as they realize they were caught.

“Now you’ve done it, Jen,” Rylie mutters, smacking Jenna on the shoulder.

“We were just going to ask if you guys wanted some hot chocolate and to watch a movie with us,” Mel explains.

“Uh-uh,” Jeremy says, grinning. “Sure you were.” He sits up to grab a pillow and chucks it at his sisters. “You definitely weren’t spying. Out, out, out.”

The four stumble down the hall, laughing loudly, and Jean’s gaze flicks between Jeremy and the door.

“Shut the door-” Jeremy pauses mid shout. “And they’re gone.”

“Mom,” Jean hears Liv yell from somewhere else in the house, “Jeremy says he’s in love!”

Jean decides that he really likes the Knox family. And he really loves Jeremy.

I’m in a mood so here’s a multi-fandom soft apocalypse fic rec list (note: soft apocalypse means all of these have happy endings)

Fandom: All For the Game

dreaming on fire series by poetatertot/ @poetatertot

Foxhole Court, California: home of the dreamers and the dreamless.

Andreil dream apocalypse series, gorgeous atmospheric pieces of writing with impeccable vibes

dreams of being golden by poetatertot (WIP)

The ocean is a healer. This Jeremy knows better than anyone. It’s why he came back himself, when all turned to nothing; it’s why he took the others under his roof when the shadows at their back threatened to swallow them whole.

It’s why he lets Jean in when he shows up suddenly, his pale face a soft light in the darkness. Jeremy sees him and knows he can’t subsist as he is, alone.

The ocean can’t change Jean’s past, but maybe it can wash his future into smooth, clean sand the way it did for so many others.

JereJean companion to dreaming on fire, genuinely one of my fave JereJean works in the fandom and I don’t understand why it isn’t more popular

Fandom: BBC Merlin

When Morning Comes by Starlingthefool

If life were fair, anyone who managed to survive the apocalypse would be given a fuzzy blanket, some tea, and a nice bed to hide under and weep.

Life is not fair, obviously, and there's no actual end to the end of the world. Instead, there's grief and pain and mud and death, there are minor miracles, and there's the love that gets you out of bed in the morning, despite everything. Life goes on.

The definition of the word flangst, v good Merthur long-distance pining going on here

The Sun Hasn’t Died by lady_ragnell/ @theladyragnell

You have to figure out how to survive somehow, after the world ends. Elena does it by stealing horses and roaming, at least until she finds the village of Camelot and its residents, especially its librarian.

Elena and Mithian out here having a soft horse girl x librarian romance at the literal end of the world

Fandom: Kuroko no Basuke

a friend for the end of the world by bmouse/ @bmouse

Himuro Tatsuya comes to the Tokyo Shatterdome to get a job. And maybe fill out his Miracle Encounter Bingo card while he's at it. Turns out there's a prize at the end.

A Pacific Rim fusion that should by all rights be depressing af but, thanks to Himuro’s rather unique pov, is fucking hilarious

Fandom: Haikyuu!!

how to let your planets align by tothemoon

It is the last day on earth, December 2nd, 1985, when you realize you're in love with him.

IwaOi soft impending apocalypse pining

Fandom: Voltron: Legendary Defender

The Black Wave by poetatertot

Life at the end of the world could almost be called normal, if not a little nuts. The convenience store Keith works at gets the same customers. He still walks to the taqueria every week to get hot food. He hasn't even had to speak to his adoptive sister in months.

Life could almost be called normal.. until Lance walks in one day and changes everything.

A story about dreams, destiny, and finding someone to call home when the day is done.

Dream apocalypse series: Klance soulmate edition, as you can see I really like this writer’s apocalypse fiction

I've been meaning to start using this account for months but just read this for the first time and died a thousand times a thousand different ways so what's a better fic to start with?

A Different Matter by djhedy and moonix

After college, Neil is drifting and a bit lost. When Matt makes him move in with him and his housemates, Neil isn't sure what to expect. Finding a family, having casual sex, and then promptly ruining that by falling not-so-casually in love is not on his agenda, though.

rating: explicit

there's explicit sexual content, and some sad feelings but nothing bad!

(yes I'm stealing the format from the aftg fic rec account I'm sorry)

my takes on this fic:

neil's internal monolog from chapters 1 to 14 are the death of me thanks

like always, i love the way they come together as a family BUT a plus for this fic is seth✨ i loved him so fucking much and i loved the subtle ways he was friends with neil and the others

also loved the way andrew is obviously pining for neil almost since the start and everyone can see it but neil

jerejean in the background gives me life

so does renison

their sex is somehow so fucking soft 🥺 like it's probably part of neil's narration bc he's literally incapable of having just sex without the feelings (the entire point of the story) but even when neil tries to be all 'ah yes we're fucking roughly' it doesn't translate like that like it's just soft and i love them

ngl the entire reason why this was so meaningful to me was chapters 11-14, cause if you know me you know I'm a slut for angst and like, it's so well done here, neil's loneliness and the way he feels like no one understands him, and the way he feels like no one needs him, just broke my heart apart i cried for like an hour i genuinely felt so much pain reading how pessimistic about his self worth neil was during those chapters, and his issues with guilt and relevance, i just sobbed along with him when he finally went to wymack's, the angst was just so well done, honestly could not leave enough kudos to the authors

also i think part of what hit so hard was that i struggle a lot with similar feelings myself so like it was funsies to cry with neil as he fell in that sort of depressive episode, honestly could relate too much, I'm still in fucking pain

all in all 15/10, can recommend, would read again :)

#fic rec #kinda #it's actually just for myself but if ya know #aftg fic rec

Art by prince.soleil (on Instagram I couldn’t find their tumblr if any of you can please lemme know I’ll tag them!)

So I can’t get this wonderful art out of my mind so here’s a little headcanon inspired by this comic:

“I can’t believe I let you convince me to do this. Who thinks it’s relaxing to walk on a blade?” Jean grumbled, gripping Jeremy’s hands tightly.

There were just a few days left in the year, and when Jeremy found out that Jean was staying in USC, he cut his visit with his family short to spend time with Jean. Jeremy managed to make it back on the 25, spending Christmas Eve with his family then driving back, arriving late at night in the dorm. Laila and Alvarez came back early too, when Jeremy told them, arriving just this morning.

Jeremy chuckled and flashed him an encouraging grin, “Come on, it's fun! And you're doing better now, your legs almost don't shake anymore.”

“Shut up! I should have stayed in my bed. And stop laughing!” Jean thought that Jeremy should’ve stayed with his family instead of spending time with Jean, he couldn’t understand why Jeremy would voluntarily spend time with him, introducing him to all the Christmas traditions he missed out. When Alvarez suggested that they go skating, and Jean rejected the invitation, Jeremy looked so sad that Jean changed his answer. But then he had to warn them that he had never been to skating. But this didn’t discourage them, instead Jeremy took it up upon himself to teach Jean.

“Well I told you what we were doing. I didn't think you would come, but I'm glad you did. No one should be alone on Christmas.” Jeremy said, still laughing at Jean’s frown and wobbling legs. How could Jean ever say no to Jeremy? Didn’t Jeremy know that at this point Jeremy was the one person he trusts the most, “It’s the best time of the year!”

“Best time? Are you fucking kidding me? This is a nightmare. Everyting sparkles and the music makes nails on a chalkboard sound pleasant in comparison.” Christmas meant even more exy practice because there were no more classes, it meant that he had to spend even more time with riko and-

“I didn't know you hated it that bad, I feel a bit guilty now” Jeremy seemed genuinely sad, like a kicked puppy, and all Jean wished was to bring back that blinding smile. “You know you can always say no, I was just invit-“

“I know! I'm here because I want it. okay?” Jean couldn’t bear his sad face and cut him off.

“Why? I mean if you hate it so much.” Jeremy’s eyebrows scrunched together adorably.

“It's just. I guess I wanted to see it for myself, why people like it. Renee says its about being grateful and being happy together with the people you like.” Jean couldn’t look into Jeremy’s eyes, he felt too exposed. Sighing, Jean continued, “I never had anything to feel grateful for, and I'm not sure if I'll ever be happy in a normal way. But you…you know. I'm just.”

Jean swallowed and got the rest of his jumbled words out, “What I'm trying to say is that I wanted to spend this time with you, and to thank you for everything you did for me. You're a big part of why I'm standing here today…having some "fun". Look, I'm just grateful that I met you, that's all.”

Jean finally looked up and Jeremy was staring dumbfoundedly at Jean, a light blush scattered across his face. Oh no did I said too much? He’s probably embarrassed by my speech. Jean wished he could take it back but it was too late.

“Knox? Did you hear what I said? Well it was stupid anyw-“ Jean squeezed their linked hands, trying to step closer to Jeremy at the same time. He overestimated his skills and the next thing he knew, he had tripped, bringing Jeremy with him. Then he was on top of Jeremy. Thankfully, his hands braced themselves against the ice before he crushed Jeremy.

“S-sorry! Are you okay?” Jean had never been this close to Jeremy, he could smell his cologne, see the individual freckles in his eyes, he could see that Jeremy’s lips were slightly opened. Jean couldn’t stop staring, and neither could Jeremy.

“Y-yes,” Jeremy stuttered, “I think.”

Jean tried to stand up but then he slipped again, and this time he landed right on top of Jeremy, “Oof, fuck I’m sorry,” Jean couldn’t tell if it was his own heart that was beating out of his chest or Jeremy’s. They were now chest to chest, Jeremy’s legs bracketing his hips. Jean hoped he wasn’t blushing as hard as Jeremy was right now.

“It’s, it’s okay?” Jeremy’s pitch was an octave higher than usual. Jean tried to stand up again but his skates kept slipping, he couldn’t find his balance. Jeremy was turning more and more red and Jean was starting to panic. He knew this wouldn’t be a good idea, he was just ruining their fun, he would never fit in.

“Need a little hand?” Laila laughed, extending a hand.

Beyond grateful, Jean took Laila’s hand and finally got up. Alvarez pulled a still flustered Jeremy up.

“Um, uh, thanks guys,” Jeremy said, looking at the girls, pointedly not meeting Jean’s gaze. Maybe Jeremy was mad that Jean pinned him down for so long, the ice must had been really cold, and it must had been very embarrassing for him. Jean always fucked up every good thing that came his way.

Jean missed the looks the girls gave Jeremy, then the girls slid away and it was just the two of them.

“I’m sorry, I knew this would be a bad idea.” Jean said, he couldn’t look Jeremy, couldn’t face the disappointment on his face.

“No, no Jean it’s alright, really, who doesn’t fall a bit when they first start skating?” Jeremy smiled, a faint blush still dusted on his cheeks.

Jean said nothing, he couldn’t understand how a person could be so understanding, so forgiving, so patient.

Jeremy took Jean’s hands, “Hey Jean, look at me, don’t look at your feet, just look straight forward, first start marching,” Jean followed his instructions, looking at Jeremy’s face. It was distracting, how did Jean never noticed the faint freckles scattered on his cheeks? Had his eyes always been this green?

“Good, now start marching,” Jean tried, the first few marches, Jean had a death grip on Jeremy’s hands, but he never complained nor showed any signs of pain on his face. “Yes good, yes Jean you are finding your balance.” Jean could now march without holding Jeremy’s hands.

“Now,” Jeremy once again held his hands. “Try sliding, just follow me, don’t look down, just let your feet do whatever you will soon get the hang of it.” Slowly, Jeremy began gliding backwards. At first Jean just kept his feet on the ground, letting Jeremy pulled him. Slowly, with more encouragement, Jean tried gliding like Jeremy was. He nearly stumbled the first time he lifted his feet. But Jeremy caught him in time and righted him.

“Easy, don’t lift too much, keep your eyes on me, you are doing better already Jean, you aren’t shaking as much!” Jeremy smiled, slowly gliding and guiding Jean. Jean tried again, slowly, with the pace of a turtle, Jean could slide a bit. Once Jean got the hang of it, he begrudgingly admit that it was fun. Jean still wouldn’t let Jeremy’s hands go, because, it’s safer.

At last, Jean could do one whole round without falling, even though he held one of Jeremy’s hands, he felt accomplished. They stopped for the while, Jeremy grinning toothily at him, a small smile couldn’t help but make its way onto Jean’s face.

“Ooo look above you guys,” Alvarez called out, suddenly besides them. Jeremy looked up and started blushing again. Jean looked up, and there was a mistletoe just hanging above their heads. Jean knew that they had to do something if two people somehow was below them but he had no idea.

“It’s a mistletoe, so what?” Jean frowned.

Alvarez smiled dropped slightly, remembering what Jean went through, “Well if two people happen to be under it at the same time, they have to kiss!” She said gleefully. No wonder Jeremy was blushing.

“Alvarez,” Jeremy hissed at Alvarez, then he looked back at Jean, not meeting his eyes, “you don’t have to do it Jean, it’s just some stupid tradition.”

Jean had no idea what possessed him but he said, “Well, you are the one who wanted me to participate in all the traditions right?” And Jean leaned down to kiss Jeremy’s cheek softly.

#jeremy almost fainted right there but acted as if his heart wasn’t beating out of his chest #Alvarez and Laila were cheering and so happy and yeah jeremy wanted to kill them but holy fuck Jean’s lips are so soft #Jean had no idea what he did but jeremy couldn’t stop blushing the entire way back to their dorms #Hmnn maybe once they were back Jeremy gathered all his courage and got a small mistletoe and held it above their head and said #“well now maybe you should really kiss me like Jeremy aren’t about to have a cardiac arrest right there #Jean didn’t know why but then he really really wants to kiss jeremy for real so he just leaned down and their lips meet halfway and yeah #idk bro I just miss jerejean fuck I love them that stupid comic made me read so much jerejean fanfic like they just brought me back to my #jerejean obsession #i will die for jerejean #jerejean appreciation week 2021 #aftg #all for the game #Jean Moreau #jeremy knox #jean x jeremy #jeremy x jean #jerejean #jerejean+appreciation+week #jerejean+appreciation+week+2021 #aftg headcanon #aftg fanfiction #aftg fandom #aftg fanfic #aftg fanart #aftg fic #aftg hc #tfc fanfiction #tfc fanfic #the foxhole court

a couple months after they start dating and sharing a bed, jeremy woke suddenly in the night. he didn’t know what woke him until he heard it again — a muffled cry from jean’s direction. a quiet no.

jeremy had seen jean have nightmares before; he’d comforted him and helped him through the terror that clung to jean in the night many times, and this was no different.

jean finally woke with a sharp gasp, sitting bolt upright and mumbling a slur of frightened words as he hunched over himself and put his head in his hands. jeremy could only see a faint outline of jean from the silvery moonlight sifting in through the blinds, but it was enough to see his shoulders shaking and his hands trembling, grasping and pulling at his hair.

“jean?” jeremy asked gently, slowly extracting himself from the sheets and scooting closer. when he placed a careful hand on jean’s shoulder, he could feel him shaking all over beneath his palm. jeremy called his name again but jean didn’t respond. he could hear the faint, soft sobs coming from jean’s crumpled form, almost quiet enough to miss. jeremy’s heart clenched.

“jean, is it okay if i wrap my arms around you?” jeremy asked. jean didn’t say anything to that either, but he moved closer, his shoulder pressing into jeremy’s side. carefully, jeremy wound his arms around jean’s waist and pulled him to his chest, tight enough to be comforting but loose enough for jean to pull away if he wanted. but jean didn’t pull away, instead he leaned into jeremy’s touch and hid his face in his neck.

jeremy rested his forehead on jean’s shoulder and rocked gently back and forth. he thought of jean on the court, a mere few hours ago, a formidable opponent, strong and unyielding in his defense of the goal. jeremy trailed gentle fingers up and down jean’s arms until he stopped trembling.

jean was so strong, so brave. it was easy to forget what jean looked like when he was frightened, when he was in the throes of a bad nightmare, gripped by horrors jeremy could only imagine when he was usually so big and intimidating. he was still the same brave, strong jean, even when he was breaking. jeremy ran his fingers through jean’s sweaty hair and pressed a kiss to his temple.

jean didn’t need jeremy to hold him up, but sometimes it was just easier to not have to do it alone.

murmuring soft words in jean’s hair, jeremy held him until the tension bled away from his body and his breathing slowed enough for jeremy to think he’d fallen back asleep. slowly, as to not wake jean again, jeremy lowered them back to the mattress so jean had his head pillowed on top of jeremy’s chest above his heart.

jeremy brushed his fingers through jean’s hair as he started to drift off to sleep. he was surprised when jean caught his hand and brought it to his mouth for a tender kiss. jean’s lips pressed against his fingers was reverent, thankful.

they didn’t let go of each other until the sun was well up, the light reaching them from beyond the curtains, chasing away every terrible thing that could hide in the dark.

#tfc #aftg #jerejean #the foxhole court #all for the game #jeremy knox #jean moreau #it’s one in the morning i can’t sleep and i’ve already gone through every conceivable emotion known to man #so have some jerejean softness!#i’m pretty sure i’ve discussed this particular hc with james #so thank you james for letting me bounce ideas off of you ily #jerejean owns my entire heart #i can’t believe they invented love #goodnight #sleep tight #don’t let the ravens bite #sorry fjdhdjd

Here are my two favourite jerejean fics as well as other favourites of mine, all in no particular order!

My two all time fav jerejean fics

Chasing the Night to See the Stars

Jean Moreau comes to the Trojans a broken man. The Trojans, for their part, decide that broken does not mean unlovable.

I have so much to say about this fic, I almost added screenshots of the notes I took while reading (seriously I genuinely had to hold myself back 😭)

Like coach Rhemann? The books? And Galaxy's watch? How am I ever supposed to move on from this.

Sixteen hours

started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this (affectionate)

Jean and Jeremy secretly start dating in their final year at USC.

I don't even know how to describe this fic. Their love is just so delicate and gentle and caring and soft and everything.

The ski trip actually owns my heart.

Other favs

A Little Illumination

Jean's a lonely firefighter, and Jeremy teaches kindergarten. Everyone learns something about themselves.

The Care and Keeping of Jean Moreau

Don’t panic. Call Kevin Day.

Jean has always been something of a black box. Whereas Riko Moriyama and Kevin Day spent so much of their childhoods at Evermore in the spotlight, the details of Jean Moreau’s personal life have been kept largely in the dark. In post-game interviews, he’s always blended into the monolith of Ravens standing behind Riko. But until Kevin called a couple weeks ago, you thought you at least had a general impression of Jean Moreau: an absolute nightmare of a backliner, with the ruthless ambition and arrogance expected of any Raven — especially one marked for Riko’s so-called Perfect Court.

The person waiting for you in baggage claim at LAX is like someone else entirely.

Do’s and don’ts for rehabilitating an ex-Raven, by Jeremy Knox.

love looks better in colour

"Colours, like features, follow the changes of the emotions."

Jeremy Knox is twelve years old when his soulmark appears. Nothing after that is easy.

a bicycle made for two (or three)

The other hindrance was due to the fact that Santa had been very generous this year, which left Jean standing on a patch of sidewalk he’d kicked clear himself, holding his four year old daughter’s hand and wondering how he was going to get all of their stuff plus the Pink Unicorn Princess Dream House up four flights of stairs without something breaking.

Golden State

"Yeah … about that …" Jean is glaring down at his phone like it is covered in slugs, lips curled downwards. "Kevin texted. He is bringing Neil Josten with him."

"What?" Jeremy blinks, taken aback. "Why?"

Jean shrugs, shoulders stiff. "He didn’t say. Just ..." he hands his phone over, opened to a thread of messages. The last one is from an hour earlier. Jean had asked about the time Kevin’s flight comes in, the answer is a curt

Saturday, 2.30pm. Neil is coming too.

Or, Two ex-Ravens, a Fox and a Trojan meet up for Vacation. They have a lot of things to work through, but maybe it will turn out better than they expect.

Becoming A Sugar Baby To The Husband Of My All-Time Favorite Exy Player?!??

Jeremy Knox, otherwise known as… Jean Moreau’s accidental sugar baby?

After sustaining an injury on the court, Jeremy opts to take a semester break to studying abroad in France. There, he’s taken under the wing of Jean Moreau, otherwise known as exy star Kevin Day’s best-kept secret: his husband.

Sooo this is actually kerejean but I couldn't resist adding it on :)

The Massive Continuity of Ducks by fuzzballsheltiepants [Rated T, 12280 Words, Complete, AFTG Exchange Fall 2021]

Andrew Minyard had it all planned out. He'd drive home to New Hampshire for fall break, stopping to check out some law schools along the way and having his existential crisis in private. Except somehow Neil Josten ends up tagging along, and nothing ever goes quite as planned, does it?

tw: panic attacks

Sweet Stuff by sadwatermelon [Rated T, 8939 Words, Complete, 2021]

Neil works at a candy shop. Andrew purchases his body weight in candy.

Part 2: New Dialects [3903 Words]

He doesn’t think he quite managed it but it felt like a start. Touching Neil like this was not not familiar, though it was different. It was something he’d never done before but it felt more like learning a new dialect of a language he already knew, and he was pretty good at learning languages. He could learn this one too.

Mild by batrincos [Rated T, 3734 Words Complete, 2021]

Kissing Neil was like taking a deep breath right before dying due to the lack of oxygen.

You don’t think whether you should or shouldn’t breathe right after you’ve barely drowned; in a SOS-situation your body moves faster than thoughts in your useless head — you take a breath as soon as possible just for the sake of surviving. You deal with consequences later

tw: implied/referenced self harm, tw: implied/referenced csa, tw: implied/referenced child abuse

Hold Each Other by exactly13percent_OLD (hymbeaux) [Collection Rated T/E, Complete, 2018]
