#i was just gonna say that y’all should consider jandreil (yes i made that up)

[lillyevanssss]

okay so for y’all tfc/aftg fans, have you ever considered jean/neil/andrew? because i hadn’t until i saw a fic with this dynamic in the andreil tag, and i didn’t even get to reading it because i needed to think about it on my own and make my own headcanons and stuff. but. it makes so much sense?? i mean we don’t know much about jean from canon (and i’ve tried to avoid nora’s extra content because it always ends Badly when i try to follow what the author says after the release of the books, cough, jkr, cough) but from the hc’s i’ve made for myself and the portrayals i’ve read in fics and stuff, he would fit perfectly with andrew and neil?? like, no offense to kandreil (i enjoy that too), but jean would fit them so so so much better than kevin? i always think about what would happen if jean joined the foxes instead of the trojans (even tho i loooove my son jeremy) he’d fit well with andrew & neil? i don’t think jean will ever forgive kevin for leaving him (even tho jean knows it’s his own fault. he just wanted someone to take care of him for once, you know?) but i feel like him & neil would actually bond over the time neil was in the nest. really. i know it sounds weird but think about it. andrew hates jean (obviously) but he knows jean didn’t have a choice (otherwise andrew would’ve killed him the moment he saw jean) so he leaves him be. jean tries to apologize to neil but neil the martyr josten won’t have it, ofc, and i have this hc that they already have an existing dynamic between them (remember “jean will help you if you help him” even tho neil didn’t see that, he still made it happen to some extent.). anyway. i digress. the point is, jean and neil connect/forgive each other. jean is grateful for what neil has done for him and neil is soft af (come at me i’ll fight you but he also has a thing for lost causes) so of course he forgives jean and they bond etc., etc. jean has a crush on neil (of course he does) and he can’t, you know, really pursue it because andrew fucking minyard, need i say more? and andrew is observant af so obviously he notices and he’s jealous but he’s also like “this is nothing if you want to do sth with him i’m not gonna stop you” @ neil and neil is like whaaat and andrew is like of course you didn’t notice. how did i end up with a dumbass like you. (cue neil “i thought this was nothing”.) so. neil is intrigued because despite all the other times andrew has told him this (aka every time someone hits on him, even tho neil keeps saying ”i don’t swing”), this time he is actually a teeny tiny bit interested in jean in that way. so he talks to andrew. (that boy has no shame, you hear me?) “i want to try this, but i don’t want what we have to change.” “so it won’t.” so yeah. that’s how jean/neil happens. (jean is very suspicious of how neil is still with andrew, but unlike the other foxes, he actually understands andreil when neil explains their thing to him.) ofc, this makes jean really really interested in exactly what makes andrew minyard tick, and he starts watching him. like, really watching him. so of course andrew’s attention is piqued, and he’s like? oookay (also jean is hot and no one said he couldn’t look back, also neil doesn’t mind.) ((neil is actually really happy.)) (((the other foxes are very confused when andrew and jean start disappearing together instead of andrew and neil. they still don’t know about jean and neil.))) jean doesn’t know much about andrew’s history other than what he knows from riko and the media after the whole drake thing, but he knows how to listen and that’s good enough for now, until when andrew is ready to open up to him.

okay imma stop but if you wanna talk more about it hit me up in my ask box or dm.
