it's funny how reincarnation AU is really popular with jeanmarco pairing
not fix-it AU, as you kinda expect at first, but reincarnation, where these two dorks meet each other again in a much better place without constant danger and cannibal titans, only with foggy strange memories of those.
and that's awesome ❤

I need an OVA dedicated to these two! Marco not being included much in Jean’s story is a crime! But they are in the third one a bit.
Oh hey there, Connie.
Telling off his stupid boyfriend for trying to hunt.
Once again, stopping him from starting a fight.
(“Jean, honey, please.”)
Sleepy boys. 💤

Honestly? I just need a fic of Jean and Marco during their training days. Their first days when they barely knew each other. Them training. Them visiting their families together. Them sneaking after curfew to watch the stars or something. Them learning together. Them just existing next to each other. The codependency they form at some point. "Have you seen Marco?" "Yeah he's with Jean" you know like always. Just them existing man. I want domestic Jeanmarco but like in the canon universe. Let them cuddle sometimes. Let them have soft touches and warm eyes and silent promises.

◈ @multibg clicked ♡ for a smooch.
Night came early, and quickly, the winter sun doused by a dim blaze of opal hues, lilac blending with peach and pale blue. Dressed for the winter festival, Trost glittered in the growing dark. Lanterns of stained glass painted frosted cobblestones with pastel shades, coloured light catching in the needle-point tips of the icicles that clung to eaves. On the air, the scent of warm spice intermingled with the perfume of winter blossoms and pine.
Looking past the food stalls, Marco’s gaze had alighted on the frozen canal, on the skates hung up for hire – all leather straps and keen silver edges, designed to be fastened over the skater’s own footwear. Jean’s protests found no purchase and so, clutching each other’s hands, stumbling and slipping, they spilled out onto the ice. Bolstered by a sense of balance honed by ODM drills, bruised but growing in confidence, they carved silvery tracks into the canal’s frozen surface. Still, they held hands.
Far from the rush of other skaters, in the shadowy periphery where stars burned all the brighter, Marco paused to brush the snowflakes from his friend’s hair. Such a simple gesture – fond, reflexive – yet it gave him pause, stoked some yearning part of him. His hand lingered needlessly, fingertips lost in the soft, ash-brown tide.
“I don’t think we did it right before, you know…” Marco started, cautiously.
He remembered the heat of that room, the emerald glass-glow. The huddled press of cadets, watching with bated breath as the bottle spun. More than anything, he remembered the blush that climbed Jean’s cheeks as Marco had crawled to him undeterred. A fleeting first kiss, tentative but unresisting, shared before an audience who gasped and giggled their disbelief. Marco wondered if it disappointed Jean that the depleted cordial bottle had not chosen Mikasa. Marco wondered if his feelings of boyish affection and attraction went unrequited.
“I want to try again.”
And so he did. With the immeasurable value of their friendship balancing on the tip of his tongue, Marco leaned in, pressing his lips, soft and slow, against Jean’s mouth. No witnesses here, no cause to hurry what should have been savoured from the outset.

Hats off to Jean Kirstein, the Scouts' unlikeliest hero.
Honor dictates that I say a few words to honor the birthday of one of the 104th's strongest and most naturally gifted soldiers.
Jean Kirstein is a character who, at one point, I would have said had one of the most impressive arcs of any individual character in Attack on Titan. Once content to keep himself to the sidelines in service of the royal government, Jean has really come a long way from when we first met him in the early days of season one.
Jean has always been abrasive and cynical, holding on to no fantasies about the miserable world he and his friends have long been trapped in. But in spite of all he's gone through, he's shown a keen sense of judgement and natural leadership that has allowed him to survive again and again in a situation he at one point would have been all to happy to look the other way, and never turn back. In a world where insanity dominates between the Titans and humanity, Jean always seems to know what to do even when he's at an utter loss of what the outcome could be, and he's so often been a voice of reason when faced with the panic of his comrades or the zeal of his friendly rival turned mortal enemy, Eren.
His old pal Marco recognized this potential in Jean, and it seems Marco's words have resonated strongly with Jean long after his own demise. Understanding what was at stake, he took a hard look at what he signed himself on to and charged at it head on. Through and through, he's proven a dependable ally to those serving by his side and ultimately, under his own command. One of Jean's greatest assets, and perhaps in his own mind his greatest curse, is his nobility. Whatever his faults and failings, Jean has always sided with the greater good, and is one of the most incorruptible characters on Paradis. He's been pushed to his limits every bit as much as the rest of his circle......And through it all still stands tall.
By no means flawless, and I actually have some far stronger opinions about Jean in spite of the fact that I rarely ever comment on him around here.......And that's a discussion for another day.
For tonight though, gotta acknowledge the impressive track record of a guy who probably never should have been a Scout in the first place.......And somehow has lived to speak of the experience after going through Hell and back time and time again.
Seriously, Jean Kirstein would have been a worthy contender to become Commander of the Scout Regiment, or second-in-command under Hange and/or Levi. Whatever the case, he's certainly been an asset to the greater cause of freedom, and perhaps understood the meaning of what that was far better than Eren himself EVER did.
Keep moving forward as you always have, Commander Jean.
Happy Birthday to a man worthy of wearing the Wings of Freedom.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh, and one last thing; If you really do truly love Jean, then for the love of all that is good and just.........
Do NOT even think about it with the lame as hell Horseface jokes. I think the fact that I acknowledged not just Jeanmarco, but also "Jeankasa" up here is being pretty generous as it is. So please, don't push it, alright?
Besides, I can name five other characters who look more like horses than him.....
