Ok now I have something mildly insane to say. BDSM club au where Jean kinda just works as like a bouncer or something and keeps seeing this guy who comes in very often. And he’s always nice and polite but very much is there on the DL and always leaves in some form of subdrop bc the ppl domming him suck. And Jean catches on and kinda like. Convinces him to hang back a sec so he can at least fix whatever the others did. And long story short Jean gets into it ™️ with the men Jeremy’s been seeing and they’re like . Jesus if he’s ur sub just say so. And jean’s like he’s not my— but word gets out and now no one will Dom Jeremy because they don’t wanna deal with Jean. And Jeremy’s like 😕😤 man what the hell. And Jean’s like damn sorry . But those men were shit and u deserve better. And Jeremy’s like oh and u think ur it. So Jean gives it a go and he’s like. Really good at it. Even tho he doesn’t want or expect to be. And maybe he kinda likes it. And maybe he also kinda really likes Jeremy.

Jerejean won't be able to keep his hands off each other once they start.

They'll be unbearable!

Jean and Jeremy talk on the phone in TBC, with Jeremy at his mother's house. They have increasingly long conversations at night.

(Actually, when they started, Jeremy called Laila and asked for Jean, and Laila passed him on to Jean, and Laila's phone disappeared for almost an hour, so now Jeremy calls Jean directly, and Laila has to remind Jeremy that she exists too.)

They talk a lot, until Jean reminds Jeremy that he needs to go to sleep, or Cat knocks on Jean's door reminding him, "Oh my god, Jean, you're going to see each other at practice tomorrow! Can't you wait 9 hours? That's how long you've been talking!"

Jean purposefully lets slip a few words of French, though he pretends not to notice. Jeremy absorbs them like a sponge.

On one occasion… When Jeremy is feeling particularly sentimental and warm, Jean tells him he wants him to be home with them and stay. They end the conversation because Jeremy thinks he's about to cry, and decides to escape and tell him they'll talk about it another day.

They hang up.

And Jean has the balls, the damn balls because he can't take it anymore, to text Jeremy.

"Tu me manques"

Jeremy understands immediately.

William catches Jeremy running out of the house (quietly, but very quickly) and silently getting into his car in the wee hours of the morning. William pretends he didn't see anything. Jeremy just left home early today, very early.

When Jeremy arrives at the apartments, he realizes he's forgotten his keys and doesn't want to wake anyone, so he tries to climb to the nearest window. Not a second passes before he starts hearing excited barking. The lights in a room turn on, and Jean pokes his head in. Surprise lights up his face.

"What are you doing? Go through the front door!"

Jeremy runs to the front door, unable to stop smiling. Jean is already there, the door open, waiting for him. Jab throws himself at Jeremy like crazy, and Jeremy pets him while hissing at him to stop him from barking. He picks him up, giving him kisses, and approaches the entrance.

"Are you okay?" Jean asks, concerned about his sudden arrival at 2 a.m. He lifts Jeremy's chin to make sure Jeremy doesn't have any bruises on his face or neck.

Jeremy just smiles.

"Did you miss me?"

Jean stares at him. Jeremy feels his thumb calmly running down his cheek to the corner of his lips.

…Jeremy enters the house.

I imagine Jeremy with a calm voice, and that makes it seem like his voice isn't deep.

However, you test his patience.

"Excuse me, could you repeat what you said?"

Jeremy doesn't raise his voice and is polite, but you feel a chill run down your spine and you don't know why.

Some character sketches and a scene from chapter 1 for the amazing fic by @millportisntreal for the @aftgbigbang this year!!

Will add the link once it's posted!

I want to read a Kevaaron (it's the Kevin pairing I'm most drawn to, and in my mind, the one with the best chance of being interesting and wholesome for him).

But I can't find any fics where they're even somewhat close to canon. Not all! But… definitely none of them are nice in a conventional or sympathetic sense, and in the fics they seem that way.

Does anyone know of anything like that?

"Satisfaction, Jeremy thought, or perhaps quiet pride. Something a little too hungry to be pleased, like Jean couldn’t believe this was truly his."

One thing I kept thinking about Jeremy and Jean is how much Jeremy craves devotion. Not in the I am above you way but just being so wanted you are handled with care. And how much Jean can give it.

I loved it

I don't think about Jean and Jeremy going to the winter banquet together (very soon, there's still drama).

But... Jean showing up at Jeremy and Laila's graduation, and everything around Jeremy ceases to exist?

And they, after all, know this is forever.

[elene78-blog]

They will need a new captain soon

[elene78-blog]

the prediction...

The way I see jerejean going is like this: Jeremy will be soft where Jean only knew violence, and Jean will be violent where Jeremy will / can not. Jeremy will not look away where others turned their heads, and Jean won’t buy the persona Jeremy sells.

Have we considered that the term "floozies" comes from Jeremy's freshman year and everything he went through? Because I think Cat is talking about an incident from freshman year, and I just thought she was referring to Jeremy, and how people were calling him a "floozie" after finding out about the orgy.

Am I the slowest to think about this now or was it Cat's thing?

Jean overhears the Trojans talking about sex in the locker room. Jean calls them "libertines!" with agitated indignation.

After the initial shock ("…what did he call us?") the Trojans start using the word "libertine" for everything.

They are enthusiastic. They are now "The Libertines"

To be honest, I don't understand why people in the fandom say the AFTG books are poorly written or bad.

AFTG is far superior to the vast majority of YA or young adult books I've read, and that's not even counting the new trilogy, whose style shows an incredible improvement over the first.

Of course, if we compare it to some adult works (and not all, by any stretch of the imagination), it's obviously lacking something. However, AFTG is what it is, and I don't think it tries to be anything else: a contemporary YA novel with a fairly adult plot.

AFTG far surpasses almost every YA novel I've read, and not only that. The incredibly well-developed characters? It's up there with the great works in that regard. The parallels as the book progresses? Nora took it to the extreme in the Jean and Jeremy trilogy, although there were already some strong ones in the previous one. The writing style? Not bad at all. In fact, I'd say it's very rich compared to most YA novels, especially in the dialogue, where it stands out from the rest. The representation of groups? Wow, I don't think I need to comment on that, especially in the later books. The interest in the plot? I don't know about the others, but I didn't even know Andreil until the third book, where he blew me away. I was hooked by the mafia plot and the relationships between the characters.

Romance? I couldn't name a book right now that deals with romance better than these, let alone if we're talking YA novels.

The only thing I can say about these books is that, at times, the plot sounds surreal because everything unfolds so "conveniently" in certain parts. It's precisely because of the construction of this story and the age of its characters that you'd think it was a YA novel. It sounds quite unbelievable in some places.

Otherwise… I think they're high-quality books, and I wouldn't say they're poorly written even a thousand years later.

I think they're one of those books you reread years later, and even though you notice certain things, you wouldn't say they were horrible (which I can't say about most of the YA novels I read back in the day).

Not a day goes by where I don’t think about “the ravens won’t listen to me. They never have” and “jean learned years ago he had nothing of value to say” vs Jean silencing an entire room with his fist and conversing with players in French and English and being begged to hang out with teammates besides cat & Laila & Jeremy and being revered by the freshmen enough for them to teach him

what if: jean finds out that the reason jeremy ‘dislikes’ strawberries is because noah loved them and, like jean with elodie and her love of blackberries, it hurts him to see them because they make jeremy think of his little brother.

but by the end of tbc they’re both further along in their healing/grief journeys and jean sets up a planter on the balcony that’s half blackberries for elodie and half strawberries for noah and on elodie’s half of the wooden box they plant little yellow ducks whereas on noah’s half they paint sharks in all blue because come to find out, noah sure did like his sharks. maybe he even inherited that love from jeremy, who can say?

they’re delicious, by the way. sometimes they eat them right out of the planter and other times jean and cat turn them into tarts and sweet treats while jeremy and laila supervise.
