#jean moreau's service dog

Concept: Jean Moreau gets a service dog

[hyperboleigh91]

Jean gets a service dog, and it, of course, comes to games with him, sitting with the coaches while he's playing. Fans and other teams see the dog and don't even question it. "Oh, the sunshine court has a golden retriever that may be someone's service dog. Yeah. That's the most sunshine court thing ever."

And then people see the Jean Moreau hugging it after a game.

I feel like a large number of people would instantly melt if they saw the best player of the most aggressive position in an already aggressive sport being comforted by his service dog.

[starrycassi]

Today in Jean and Neil's bestfrienderism. With a side of Andrew being Andrew. And domestic Andreil.

.

Jean is having a panic attack.

Well, not quite. It's not a full blown attack, yet. But it is close. Very, very close. He is thirty. He is alive. He is Jean Moreau and he has endured so, so much. He is, somewhat, free. As free as the cattle are in a pasture. As free as the shrimp are to the breeding pond.

He has a wonderful husband. He is reconnecting with Kevin. He visits Cat and Laila whenever their schedules allow them the time to do so. He has a dog — well, he technically has three. Charbon is his, and his alone. She is a wonderful Black Labrador that Dobson appointed him. The other two, Caramelo and Dulce, (both named by Catalina, of course) are his and his husband's.

Charbon is moving as soon as he's clawing at his neck. She knows what to do. She knows what to do.

"-breathe. In, and out. Com'on, Jean. It ain't hard. In, and out. You're, like, an athlete. In, and out. You don't even smoke. In, and out. Drew? Water, yes. In, and out."

That's, unfortunately, not the voice of a cybernetically enhanced service dog. It's a different type of animal. Neil Josten.

He manages to make his brain claw around, trying to find where his hand is (in his neck, of course) and puts it up, flipping the bipedal cockroach off.

.

Jean doesn't have a panic attack. Thanks, Charbon.

He's still on the edge. He plays with the dog's ears, floppy and bendy. She seems content to let him do so. They're all on the floor. The two cats are in Neil's lap. Andrew is in the kitchen.

"Breathing okay? Didn't break a rib, did you?"

Jean flips Neil off again.

"I take that as a no. But we did do a RCP training course, you know? Aaron was being a little bitch about me being 'death-prone' or whatever. So you wouldn't even have died. Not on our watch"

"Pretty sure RCP is not the standard solution to panic attacks, junkie" Andrew says, sounding bored, while he walks into the room, tray in his hands. "Panic attacks, also, don't really kill people that often. He would've fainted, at worst"

"Should be standard. Gets the heart right again, does it not?"

Andrew drops the tray to the floor. Only, he doesn't drop it. The jug full of ice and water is intact, as is the glass right next to them. Jean serves himself a glass, drowning it as quickly as possible. It stings. It helps, with the whole "I hate my throat" thing. Harm reduction, Dobson called it.

"You're such a fucking idiot" Andrew says, before reaching down to tug Neil's hair. Neil looks up, their eyes lock, and Jean feels so disgusted that he almost forgets why he's on the floor, to start with. Can they be any less PDA-inclined?

Then again, Jeremy and him are worse. So.

There's silence. And, then, "Jean. We could find a way"

Jean is confused. Andrew, clearly, is not. Jeremy and him love each other, but even theh can admit that there's no other couple with such a level of telepathy as the Josten-Minyard one. It's quite off-putting.

" 'We' sounds like a lot of people" Andrew complains, his tone one of slight annoyance. Regardless, he drops down next to Neil. One of the cats migrates to his lap. He absentmindedly scratches its head, just like he did Neil.

"I'm not following"

They both look at him like he's an imbecile. In return, he glares.

"To get you out of the contract" Neil clarifies. Except, that doesn't clarify anything. Jean Moreau, even as a free man, belongs to the Moriyamas. Not the Nest, or Riko, anymore. It's as much freedom as anyone like him can wish for. Jean Moreau has, is and will endure.

Yes, he hyperventilates whenever the topic of children comes up. Because Jeremy wants kids. A big, happy, loving family. Jean, unfortunately, wants the same.

He doesn't want kids as much as he fears his debt. Their future. His work. Their worth.

Andrew made the offhand comment of Aaron's twins coming to visit next week. About how it seems that the whole group of "Neil's friends" are eager to overpopulate the world with mini nuisances and how he pitied the teachers that had to ever work with such offspring. How it feels like they're the only ones sane enough to avoid such a burden. He didn't mean anything by it. That didn't stop Jean from spiraling. Intent and reaction are, often, not the same thing.

"I stress that you should just get the Care Bear to replace you. He likes Exy. He likes you. Surely we can guilt him into agreeing"

"Non," he answers immediately. They've had this conversation. Jeremy has offered. Jean has refused. It is enough, that one of them is tainted by the Moriyamas. Jeremy's life is not and has never been perfect, but Jean refuses to add a whole ass mafia deal to that.

Andrew shrugs, unapologetically. Jean is not offended. Andrew is a no-nonsense kind of man. A "straight to the point" kind of man. He, probably, thinks that his suggestions are helping, somehow.

"There has to be another way." Neil muses, looking at the ceiling. "We already negotiated with Ichirou, once. Maybe time's made him softer? He's got kids, now. Fatherhood softens people up. Or so I hear."

"Your father tried to kill you. At least thirty times. Almost succeeded half of those, too" Jean reminds him, trying to stay out of the whole family conversation. Neil has never been one for careful sentences. He doesn't mean anything by it. Then, again, intent and reaction.

"It's his personality. He brings out the worst in people" Andrew adds, interlocking his pinky with Neil's pinky, before leaning in and giving him a quick kiss on the cheek. Gross.

"Rude. Also, Ichirou is way more level headed than Nathan. We could try, at least."

"Absolutely no, you neuron-lacking flea."

"Over my dead body, Josten."

"Again, rude. You two never let me have any fun. Kevin is influencing you too much, I swear."

Jean doesn't feel like thinking about Kevin, so he takes out one of the bobby pins in his hair and throws it at Neil's face. Andrew snorts. Charbon looks at the interaction with curiosity. So does Neil.

There is silence, again. For a while. And, then, "Neil will play Exy until he can't, anyways" Andrew points out.

Jean is confused. Neil, clearly, is not. He looks at Andrew with such an open expression of vulnerability and worry, that Jean has to look away.

"Drew, you know that-"

"I said 'life', didn't I? Same team. Same house."

"Five years ago."

"Haven't changed my mind."

"Still. I know you hate it."

"As much as I hate you. I've put up with you this long. I will handle it."

"Are you two always this fucking cryptic? Jesus Christ"

They share a look. Andrew nods. Neil hesitates. Andrew pokes him in the ribs.

"Andrew is willing to make a deal. We- we talked about it, some years ago, when Kevin had that skating accident. It's, uh, a backup plan. Asking Ichirou to pass the contract down."

"For a price." Andrew adds. As if that isn't the most unhinged, crazy and stupid thing Jean has ever heard them say. And God knows that that's a very high list.

"You're joking with me."

"Do I look like a fucking clown, Moreau?"

"As a matter of fact, yes. I will not pass down my burden to you. Plus, it is, surprisingly, a decent plan. There is no other goalie out there who is making more money than you. Ichirou would be stupid if he didn't agree. Which means that you have to keep that option open. Neil is constantly looking for new ways of getting himself killed. I will not tolerate having you, either of you, on the chopping block for me. Not if I can help it"

He is angry. Do they think so selfish? So entitled? So uncaring? He feels nauseous. Charbon puts her paws on his chest, licking his face. He shouldn't feel offended, but he does. They don't mean anything by it. Intent, reaction.

"I'm already involved with our dear asian Shobhuza. Pretty sure he doesn't like me, already."

"Non. Absolutely no. Don't even- no. No. Are you listening to me? Never."

They glare at each other. Years ago, Jean would fold, Andrew's gaze reminding him too much of handcuffs and needles. He doesn't.

"Dramatic" Neil mutters in singsong. They glare at him, now. He has the audacity to giggle.

"We'll figure something out." he says, so sure of himself. How can someone so short be so full of confidence, Jean will never know.

"Even if we don't," Andrew adds, with something close to warmth in his tone, "surely the two of you can survive without passing on those dreadful genes of yours for a few more years"

"We were thinking of fostering" he murmurs, softly. So softly that he's unsure if they heard him or not. Andrew freezes, midway through petting his cat. Neil's eyes widen. Charbon gives a friendly bark.

Andrew and Neil look at each other. Do they ever do anything else?

"We'll find a way," Andrew says. Promises. Begs. Asks. Neil nods, gaze heavy with duty. They hold hands. Neil squeezes. Andrew squeezes back.

Jean feels like he might have another panic attack. How can they be so reckless? For him, out of all people?

Then, again, he would do the same. Sacrifices and promises.

Is there any other way to live?

more of Jeremy B. Knox & Jean A. Moreau

I forgot to mention it in my previous post, but did you know that "Aurélien" was the name of a famous Roman emperor who officialized a new cult in the late Roman empire... in honor of the Sun God.

coincidence? I think not!

Jeremy will schedule French Movie Nights every Sunday night, to learn French and to connect with Jean, and so Jean can hear the language and not lose it, and eventually talk with Jeremy in French

it also gives Jeremy a subject of discussion with Jean

Jean doesn’t know any movies except a vague souvenir of Disney’s classics, Tintin, Spirou, and La vie est belle

little #Lailalvarez side note:

Maria Catalina Sara Marisol Alvarez is majoring in Psychology.

Laila Dermott is majoring in English.

They will adopt Jean as their own child just as they did with Jeremy. Shut up Jean we're your moms now.

Jean is very awkward towards women, the way he would be cautious with poisonous flowers: pretty but deadly.

the examples of Thea Muldani, Laila Dermot and Sara Catalina Alvarez are self-explanatory

it takes him a while (10 MONTHS JEAN WE COUNTED!) to warm up to Laila and Alvarez, although it takes them a few months too to see past his abrasive exterior

what seals the deal is when the two girls kidnap both Jean and Jeremy to bring them to a specialized kennel

to force them to adopt not one, but two therapy dogs

remember, Alvarez's a psych major and Laila is all about tough love

the toughest love

Alvarez: We're not leaving until we add two other members to the Trojans family and they better have four legs and the fluffiest fur.

Jeremy: But I don't-

Alvarez: Cállate Jeremy

Laila: Jeremy, sweetie... You got issues. Choose a damn dog.

of course the university's funding and Coach Rhemann approve

because while the Trojans are the best at sportsmanship and all that jazz, they are ridden with anxiety and imposter's syndrome and yaddiyaddiyadda (according to Alvarez)

and these 2 girls aren't dumb

they know exposing Jean like that with a service dog would backfire monstrously

they also know Jeremy has some unresolved trauma (we'll get into that... later) and so does the rest of their team

so while Jean's getting a real, trained and licensed therapy dog, the kennel also offers emotional support dogs that aren't really trained and can just be dedicated domestic companions

that way, the girls kill like, 2, 3, 4 birds with two dogs...

now, what are the dogs?

Jean gets free rein over the choice of his dog, and even though the trainers assure him that all their dogs have passed multiple tests to be qualified, he asks which is the least agressive breed, and which runs the fastest among those they have

they direct him towards a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever dog, a toller, if you will

it's got bright red fur, with a bit of white on the neck and nose, and it's got the most honest hazel eyes Jean has ever looked into (*ahem* except Jeremy's, but that's not the point)

and then Jean sits down, he sits down, on the dirty floor of the pen, to extand his hand towards the dog

and the dog rests his nose in it

so gently, so earnestly, it almost breaks Jean's heart

Laila and Alvarez watch from afar, proud mommies with misty eyes

Jeremy, for his part, keeps looking between Jean, the dog, and his two bestfriends, dumbfounded

that easy, huh

he also can't look at the scene for more than a few seconds or he'll genuinely cry

for the rest of their time at the kennel, Jean stays on the floor with his chosen companion

now, for Jeremy...

Jeremy does not get free rein

because he is Jeremy Knox

and his taste is not to be trusted

exhibit A: Jeremy asks the trainers for a French bulldog ("Laila, it's French! Don't you get it??")

exhitbit B: Jeremy asks the trainers for a poodle ("Al, it's fluffy! You said fluffly??")

also, this dog will be the Trojans' unofficial mascot, and it has to be a respectable one, even though Jeremy will be the one to mostly care for it

the girls have to say no to a Shih Tzu, a Bobtail, a Bulldog and, another French bulldog

they're not sure if Jeremy's messing with them or if he genuinely thinks these dogs could represent the Trojans with honor (they're hoping for the former)

(the girls also can't believe he hasn't chosen a Golden Retriever yet, as it is the literal personification of Jeremy Knox)

but that's because Jeremy is very methodic

he tries to take every member of his team into account in his decision

mostly Jean

not too big (Jean), but not too small (Trojans); not to mean-looking (Jean), but not too cute (Trojans); not too excited (Jean), but not too lazy (Trojans)...

Jeremy keeps going in circle, examining all the dogs many, many times

yet he keeps coming back to one pen, spending more time looking at it

it's not the prettiest dog, nor the most fierce-looking, and that's why he doesn't want to say anything

because he really likes it

he really, really does

there's just something about it... that thing you can't explain and that Jean probably found right away with his toller dog

Jeremy looks around, sees the girls talking with another trainer, and silently tries to get the lady trainer's attention

"This one... why does it look like that?" he asks

"Oh, it's a Shar Pei, a miniature one. All this extra skin and fat is specific to that breed. It'll always look like that, and even though it hasn't reached it's full size yet, it won't grow much bigger than that. They're very, very soft and loyal. And it's very therapeutic to pet them. There's something about their chubbiness..."

Jeremy doesn't have trouble believing her

he really, really likes that dog

maybe if he doesn't say anything, and lets Laila and Alvarez see how much he likes that dog... maybe they won't laugh

so Jeremy asks for permission to sit down and pet the dog, like Jean

they’re on complete opposite sides of the room, yet they mirror each other

when Jeremy looks up, he sees Jean already staring at him, absentmindedly petting his dog

Jeremy offers him a big and bright smile, hands occupied with is own dog

and Jean returns the smile, a small, shy one, but a genuine one

Laila and Alvarez see all of this unfold, and they smirk to each other

Mission accomplished

the four of them fill out the forms and the girls let the boys bring their dogs back to the car

the kennel had made sure to call their dogs "Boy" or "Girl" so their owners would be able to name them, and even though Laila and Alvarez secretely but totally approved of Jeremy's choice, they now feared his naming skils

as they should

Jeremy is very basic

the basic-est

he suggests Buddy, Max, Boy, Toto... yikes

Jean suggests Kevin, as a joke

(Kevin Day doesn't know how close it came to having a pile of fluffy fat named after him)

the girls throw in some ideas too, consulting the team on their groupchat

after discovering that everyone's favorite book series was PJO and HoO, they choose the best name

Grover Underwood

Jeremy is in love with his new best friend ( *cue the girls: Thanks, Jer. Really appreciate it.*)

Jean, for his part, is quite overwhelmed

he's never had that kind of responsibility before, never had that kind of freedom

how do you go about naming a dog?

he isn't bothered by the others to choose a name, they pretty much leave it to his discretion, however long it takes

after 2 days, he consults Jeremy, unable to do it alone anymore

Jeremy suggests naming his dog after things or people he likes, books he's read, movies he's seen, etc.

up til then, Jean had caught up a bit on pop culture and things he had missed while in the Nest, but it had been hard to really attach himself to these things

except music

music fills some of the void he was left with when he got away

Jeremy and the team made him listen to everything

from classicals to pop to R&B to musicals

(am I really gonna bring this up again?)

(yes. yes I am.)

Jean really enjoyed musicals

not so much the more comical ones, but the dramatic, sad ones...

yes, Les Misérables, that goes without saying

but also.

Hamilton.

(YES OKAY?)

long story short, Jean introduces his dog as Eliza to the rest of the Trojans, and he's feeling quite a bit proud of himself when they ask why and they all immediately approve

and that's the story of how Jean and Jeremy got dogs together, even though they still had a long way to go before being together

[thewickeddevil]

A Study In Jean Moreau

(tw: mentions of Jean's past, violence, mental health and suicidal thoughts/intention to die. let me know if there's something else)

ok, so, i say all the time that Jean Moreau is my favorite and comfort character in All For The Game (i know. it literally hurts but also brings me joy sometimes) and i would literally kill for that man. so, that said, i think too much about him and, consequently, i have too many hcs about him. on request, i will now do what i'm gonna call A Study In Jean Moreau

(my beta reader and best friend helped me a lot with this. thanks @jostenrun)

i'll start with this quote from one of my kerejean fics (https://archiveofourown.org/works/26146540)

During Jean's first four months at USC and playing with the Trojans, he would always ignore Jeremy and put a frown on his face whenever he was in the same place as him. It obviously wasn't the best of strategies to put distance between himself and all the Jeremy glow, but it looked exactly bad enough to work.

Still, Jeremy was all pompous and charming looks at him, always smiling and being polite even though he received much less in return. It pissed the shit out of Jean.

He was used by the Ravens for many years, treated exactly like the exchange item he had been, just possession and obliged to follow lines and lines of rules too strict even for how he should breathe.

Riko was violent, the Ravens were cruel, the Moriyama family was wrong and he needed to repeat this to himself on a daily basis to be able to just keep going.

Back at the beginning of those days, many times he would fight back until he was taught that it was only worse. Many times he would beg until he realized that it encouraged Riko more than it prevented him. Many times he would cry until he was taught that it was wrong.

He would often bleed.

He would often wish to bleed until there was nothing left in his veins, no thoughts in his brain, no air in his lungs, no words on the tip of his tongue—

And he would often try to do just that on his own.

That was his daily life for a long time. Evermore was what he knew, the Moriyama family was who he belonged to and all of that was for what he served. That was it.

How was he supposed to know back then that suddenly overly nice twenty-eight other people would replace all of that with magnificence?

How was he supposed to know that they wouldn't look at him with disgust whenever he accidentally let a curse in French slip away?

How was he supposed to know that the Trojans had complete freedom within the team, instead of having to walk in pairs like the Ravens?

How was he supposed to know that Jeremy wasn't going to hit him whenever he made a mistake?

Or how would he know that Jeremy never considered anything that he made a mistake?

It was all a very big break from reality and so, so suddenly. Jean felt confused at first. Lost, wrong, out of place, stupid and scared.

And Jeremy was always determined to be the best he could be. Jeremy was safe.

Until Jean felt comfortable, confident, fine, and satisfied. He was someone instead of something and he really felt like that.

i think Jean would take years to relearn how to live instead of surviving. sometimes he would fail at that, but so many failures can only lead to success eventually.

he really didn't want to keep playing exy after everything, he doesn't think exy is good at all and trauma made him hate it, but he needs it because of the deal with Ichirou. fortunately, the Trojans are a team big enough to put him in the background for a while, to give him a little rest. but he knows he can't relax too much

he starts therapy. he needs it badly and it takes time for him to really be able to do it, but Jean was never anything but strong, and when he sees the chance to finally heal he knows that, despite how tired he is, despite how many times he wonders if it's worth it to keep going, he needs to grab that and at least try. just one more time. he never wanted to work for anything in his life because nothing was important before, but now he thinks that maybe things are changing

the Trojans get a dorm exclusively for him at first, because they don't want Jean to force himself to share space with someone he doesn't know and still doesn't trust. they want Jean to have his own space and feel safe before anything. he needs that solitude and he knows that it doesn't mean loneliness because his team will always be just a call away from him

he relapses sometimes. days without taking basic care of himself and without getting up from bed, and he no longer remembers whether he’s alive or not. sometimes he's able to call his therapist when that happens, but sometimes he isn't

this is how he gets into the habit of learning poetry. and eventually, writing poetry. he needs a coping mechanism and words seem to be safe enough to float around in his mind and make space in his core

(French poetry that Kevin always dissects for him and tells about the history behind the period in which those texts were written, or about the authors of each text)

the process is slow but it’s progress nonetheless

so, we know about therapy, about not being easy, about difficulties and things happening slowly during the healing process, now let's talk about the little details when things finally start to work out positively. when the best part of Jean's life finally begins

he finds out that his eyesight isn't bad only because of the beatings he took in the nest, and finds it ridiculous when Jeremy offers to help him buy glasses because, according to him, all the glasses Jean likes make him look like a middle-aged man that curses people for fun. Jean doesn't hate it though

Jean learns how to swim and likes it more than he thought he would. he likes the fluidity and movements of the liquid around his skin, how he cuts the water with his body when moving around and how it doesn't hurt him, and he just feels light

Jean likes nutella and chocolate with nuts, because Jeremy used to give it to him after nightmares or difficult days, and it became a comfort food for him (something he wasn’t even allowed to eat in the nest)

Jean's musical taste is a big mess of R&B, soul, pop art, folk, dark pop... he likes artists like Lorde, Aurora, Marina, Sigrid, Sleeping at last and the list goes on

Before he left France, Jean's family had a farm and he was responsible for harvesting fruits and vegetables there. this is one of the last memories he has about France, so he likes to harvest fruits and vegetables whenever he has the chance in the US

Jean loves to read fantasy books. he is a hufflepuff and part of cabin 6 in camp half-blood (children of Athena)

he likes geography. pedology, topography and weather are his favorites. he likes to look at the sky and know how to name climatic phenomena regardless of where in the world he is

(he also likes history and sociology, but only because he can hear Kevin and Jeremy — respectively — talking for hours and hours about those two subjects)

he hates biology

he absolutely hates croissants, tea and coffee. in the morning he always drinks juice or chocolate milk (the latter is Jeremy's fault)

the first time he willingly got wasted on alcohol, he, Sarah and Laila woke Jeremy up in the wee hours of the night while singing in Spanish (Jean barely knows Spanish). he passed out after that and woke up the next day in his room. his first thought was that he was fine even though he lost control of himself around other people, and he cried because of that. Jeremy was concerned because he thought he was crying from a headache or something related to a hangover

Jean can never find shoes his size in conventional stores because he's very big (fucking tall, muscular but not too much, with large shoulders and hips, and eventually a tummy) and, consequently, his feet are also big. he needs to have it personalized and he completely hates it

he loves dogs but is easily scared by them. he couldn't get out of the dorms for almost an entire day after Jeremy's mom's dog barked too loud and it scared Jean. he felt guilty and didn't want people to be mad at him for being so scared of a simple dog

he loves cats though, and after some time into therapy, he adopted a service cat. Kevin and Jeremy always joke about it looking like a replica of Jean himself

Jean doesn't understand the purpose of MMA competitions, because he doesn't like violence and thinks martial arts should be only for self-defense, so he doesn't really understand why people choose to compete over something so aggressive

he also doesn't like the violence in exy, but he forgives because, at least, violence is not the main goal of the sport, but to score points

he learns to draw and starts to open art commissions on the internet. this is his first job and he's proud of it because it was something he achieved by himself

Jean and Jeremy fell in love on the beach

Kevin and Jean take time to forgive each other, especially Jean. the broken heart Kevin left in Jean hurt more than being abandoned by his parents. he suffered from it for years but he didn't really want to blame Kevin. he also knew Riko, after all. he knew how capable of driving someone insane Riko was. it didn't make things easier or less painful though. Kevin and Jean took time, but they never loved each other less

Kevin and Jean fell in love for the second time (the time they could, the time they were allowed) after one of the matches in which their teams were rivals

Jean is very picky for food consistency, and he hates ketchup and mayonnaise for that. he insists all the time that if people knew how to season the food well, they wouldn't need those condiments

(he secretly loves Dijon Mustard though)

Jean was born on 08/31. he’s a virgo

plushies are the first resource that Jean uses when he feels alone but is unable to be around anyone at the moment, so he unconsciously starts making a collection of them. they're all small, except for two that Kevin and Jeremy gave him and are, respectively, a fox and a red and gold trojan. he eventually distributes his plushies to children in local orphanages but keeps those two to himself out of sheer emotional attachment

he doesn't stop suffering because of his trauma throughout his life, but he learns to deal with it. that's the point of everything. he never thinks he will magically forget or get over it, but now he is in a different place in his life and he can start working his way to be the best version of himself he can. he doesn't fool himself into thinking it will be easy and fast, he never thought it would be less difficult than it really was, but he takes things slowly and carefully and hopes it works

his entire healing process is too complex and extensive to explain everything here, but i did the best i could and now i really need to stop because i could stay here ranting for days. xx

Jean was alone. Hours ago he had been dropped off at the airport by Fox’s nurse and boarded the plane to LA to join his new team, his new owners, the USC Trojans. He did not bother hoping they would be kind or a major improvement over the Ravens, he knew how this worked. Despite the assurances of Renee, Kevin and Abby he knew that a broken thing like him would have no place among the Trojans. He resigned himself to the fact that his treatment the Trojans would only be marginally better than the Ravens. After all, a team could not function and succeed without the harsh discipline of the Master and Riko, the Foxes’ win had to be a miracle and a fluke. He was certain that the Foxes were an exception to the rules, exy teams had to function like the Ravens they just had to. It went double for a team as good as the Trojans. Follows Jeremy and Jean's life starting immediately after Jean lands in LA to join the Trojans.
