JereJean headcanons

The first thing to come to Jean’s mind about his new uniform is that red is almost as good as black to hide the blood stains.

Jean hates how this kind of thoughts are default for him. It’s somehow worse than to have flashbacks, because its like his past keeps poisoning his present.  

Jeremy stresses out a lot at the start of their relationship, because he is not sure if Jean actually wants it or just responds to his desires. Or even is that is some kind of misguided gratitude. They just sorta started kissing and it all went downhill from there.

Screaming crying throwing up. They’re on their way to night practices which means it’s only the three of them: Kevin Neil and Andrew, and only one of them could’ve been asking Kevin who he was talking to. We know Andrew wouldn’t care.

So that means that as soon as Neil heard Kevin was talking to Jeremy his immediate first question was whether or not Jean was okay.

Neil is gonna care so much about Jean and no one can stop him—not even Jean. I’m losing my mind

Your vampires are amazing. Would you write something about vampires for halloween?

"Oh, dear." The vampire studied the vampire hunter with a fierce and searing hunger in their gaze. "That's an awful lot of blood."

The vampire hunter managed a rasping, panicked breath. Their eyes went wide. They struggled to shift, to reach for a weapon.

The vampire smiled.

Lightning quick, the vampire crouched and straddled the hunter, pinning them down against the dirt. They placed a firm hand on the hunter's stomach, applying pressure to the wound. "Ah, ah, ah."

The hunter gasped in pain. They scrabbled at the vampire's hand, but the blood loss had already left them weak.

The vampire inhaled deeply, the smile on their lips only growing. With their free hand, they brushed the hunter's clammy hair back from their face. "How many people have you killed to ensure your own survival, do you think?"

"None."

"Oh?"

The hunter clenched their jaw. "Vampires aren't people."

The vampire chuckled. Their grip on the hunter's hair tightened, yanking back, forcing the hunter's back to arch with another groan of pain, and their throat to bare. "You'd make a good vampire."

The hunter shook their head, or tried to. Tears leaked down their cheek.

"No, really," the vampire said. "Your first instinct was to try to slaughter me, even now, at the very end of you. What a murderous little thing you are! I can appreciate that. None of the other hunters around these parts will come near me."

"Just finish it!"

"You'd love that, wouldn't you?" The vampire leaned down, to ghost their lips against the hunter's neck. "How about this. You can die when you can best me in combat."

The hunter went perfectly still at the teasing prick of sharp fangs. "W-what?" It would have been inaudible to a human.

"You can die when you can best me in combat. Until then, I'm going to keep bringing you back, mortally wounding you, and bringing you back again and again and again."

Vampire venom was curative. It kept their prey alive, their blood fresh and drinkable, for longer.

The hunter's heart raced.

The vampire bit.

The hunter's eyes fluttered, their body jerked, before the venom seeped in. Heat and life and desire and hunger. Intoxicatingly good. The lure of immortality, without the curse of a devil's bargain sealed.

The hunter moaned.

The vampire hummed, pleased.

The hunter struggled then, with greater strength as the wound on their stomach began to knit closed beneath the vampire's hands.

When the vampire pulled back, still straddling the hunter, it was to let go of the hunter's hair and capture their wrists instead. It was to release the pressure on the hunter's stomach, and bring a hand cat-like up to their lips to lick the hunter's blood clean away.

The hunter stared at them in horrified, mesmerised disbelief. Still reeling.

A vampire never looked so good as when they had just fed.

"You're delicious," the vampire murmured, with soft satisfaction. "I knew you would be."

"This is - why would you - I - we -"

"You thought I'd turn you?" The vampire's grin was wicked. "Just to torture you with being what you hate most?"

The hunter shivered.

The vampire laughed again. "No, no. I'll only turn you when you want it, when you beg for it."

"You're insane."

"I'm immortal." The vampire rose to their feet. "I'm ancient." They offered the hunter a hand to help them up. "And I'm bored. Have at, killer."

The hunter reached for the vampire's hand, feinted, lunged.

An instant later, they were on the forest floor again.

"Oh, dear," the vampire said. "That's an awful lot of blood." There was a pause, then, "best of three?"

Realising the Ravens played Exy the way Tetsuji wanted and the Tojans the way Kayleigh wanted, and that’s why USC is Kevin’s favourite team.

Oh the pain of:

Jeremy was left staring at the back of his head, heart pounding so loud Jean had to hear it. His head was an echo chamber, spinning Jean’s words out of context on endless repeat.

And:

"The rules have changed." Not for me, Jean warned himself, but for one moment, just this moment, he would let himself pretend.

They're both MAJOR IDIOTS, and I love them so much :(

[saltierthanbottomofapretzelbag]

I was so so scared that Jean's mental health would degrade after Zane said that he should have been the first one to die but oh god, Jean's "I deserve to get better" caught me so off guard, he has come such a long way from tsc and I can't be prouder :((

[saltierthanbottomofapretzelbag]

Primarily hearing from Neil via the press in tgr really makes the og aftg trilogy make so much more sense because I think sometimes from Neil “unreliable narrator” josten’s pov he leads you to believe he’s like an innocent little lad just doing what must be done but when you see him from an outsider pov you’re like oh. Jean is actually right, this guy is kind of a cunty little gremlin freak who causes chaos wherever he goes

[saltierthanbottomofapretzelbag]

I wonder if Jean will make a mug for Jeremy. I wonder if he will add pottery to his “it makes things go away for a while” list. I wonder if pottery will be his time with Jeremy much like how cooking is his time with Cat.

Oh, Jean. The way I want good things for you.

I just found out that one of my favorite books, The Darkness Outside Us, has a sequel coming out in FOUR DAYS and I’m going feral.

I’ve thought about the first book constantly for a year now. It has had such a long lasting impression on me. It made me laugh, it made me ball my eyes out, it made me stare at the wall in shock more times then I can count. I recommend it to everyone I know that likes queer space books and none of them have took the recommendation but it’s fine in the end because I’ve read it and I get to enjoy the sequel now. They’re all missing out ^^

Take this as a book recommendation. If you like queer space books that are heartbreaking and really good, might I recommend The Darkness Outside Us

Somewhere Beyond The Sea, Celestial Monsters, and now The Brightness Between Us?!?! I’m eating well this fall season

[saltierthanbottomofapretzelbag]

started the brightness between us and i knew this wouldn't be a happy book but the fact that so many of their babies died.... even tho they waited a few years to name them, they still died and they were still their babies.... and even when they weren't babies anymore they kept dying.....

[saltierthanbottomofapretzelbag]

I literally could not ask for more from The Brightness Between Us.

Kodiak and Ambrose being dads. Kodiak and Ambrose being loving and domestic and smiling just at the thought of each other. Kodiak and Ambrose loving their children with everything they have despite and maybe because of, the fact that they never had any love in their own childhoods. Kodiak and Ambrose finding each other in every single version of their lives.

Headcanons will be incoming, this will be my brain for the forceable future.

[saltierthanbottomofapretzelbag]

Okay, I am reading 'The Brightness Between Us' (sequel to 'The Darkness Outside Us') and ...I just finished Part 4 and ...

FUCK DEVON MUJABA!
