at some point i WILL write a jean/cat/laila pov of jeremy's faser hook up
because like do you think the room was really quiet and intense that night? laila and cat doing their best to keep it light but jean noticeably quiet and watching the door waiting for jeremy to come back. until he eventually gives up and says he's going to sleep and then laila gets jeremy's text and jean pretends to be sleeping but he hears her quietly saying she needs to go get jeremy and he can hear the disapproval and disappointment in her tone. jean hears cat say she'll watch over him until laila gets back and then laila's gone and it's just cat and jean and jean closes his eyes and tries to sleep. pretends he doesn't care. laila will bring jeremy back. everything's fine.
but it's not.
because there's still missing truths and there's the teasing about drugs and parties and jean said he would protect jeremy tonight. but he let him leave. he couldn't force him to stay. what else was he supposed to do. then he hears a quiet knock. cat's up in a second but the door opens. jean gets up too but stays out of sight. he can hear their voices. cat's "what the fuck jeremy?" is all he needs before he's moving, catching sight of bruises on jeremy's tanned skin. it looks wrong. it looks ugly. it looks painful.
he promised to protect him. he didn't.
What started as a joke between myself and @kings-dream became and actual thing that has an obscene amount of views and absolutely lovely feedback, please enjoy my ‘AFTG characters as vines’ compilation video (more AFTG and other books to come).
@korakos, please forgive me
Tbh spyxfamily and vicious (v. e. schwab) are the exact same shit like you get the sexy malewife, the strong sensitive partner, the overly powerful kid that was rescued/adopted earlier in the story and the huge dog that becomes her emotional support
The amount of guns in the same. The amount of death is NOT
Honestly if I was playing against foxes I would just withdraw and let them win cuz no way in hell I’m playing against three people charged w murder AND one of them being son of mass murderer like no thank you, I’m good👍🏻
We all thought Andrew didn't care about Jean in TSC and I think we were right, but after TGR? Where does Jean fit into Andrew's scheme? Because I think his position has changed radically here.
In their encounter in TGR, Jean subtly makes it clear that he and Andrew share trauma, but I don't think that appeals to Andrew. The important thing here is that there was a rapist near Neil in The Nest, and somehow, he didn't touch Neil while he did touch Jean.
The important thing is that Jean states that he wouldn't have given Neil up so easily if he knew Andrew would neglect him, making clear a kind of "protective feeling". Here Jean admits that he did help Neil at The Nest to the extent he could, or at least he subconsciously admits it (and he really did, in the form of ongoing support and aftercare, which we know Jean didn't have, but he made sure Neil did have that while he was with him. What's more... Jean used French with Neil at The Nest. He used it despite what had happened with Kevin and what was done to him, in order to try to help Neil more effectively.)
The important thing here is that Jean recognized Andrew as Neil's protector and told him that if he didn't take care of himself, he wouldn't be able to protect him properly.
And Andrew knew Jean was right and quit smoking because of it (even though Andrew couldn't really have done anything to stop the attack, whether he smoked or not, but he listened. He knew Jean had a point).
Let's not forget that Andrew was also around to see Jean kick Bryson out of the house to protect his friends.
That being said... What does Andrew think of Jean now?
To me...I think Andrew has respect.
Andrew has seen Jean protect him own. Andrew is also aware now that Jean cares for Neil and looked out for him at The Nest. He looked out for him...knowing there was a predator around who had torn Jean apart. He looked out for Neil and watched over him despite Riko, and Andrew knows what state Riko left Kevin in.
I think Andrew has a lot of respect for Jean right now.
I also think he may have Jean in a frame of mind of "people he'd leave Neil with if Neil needed protecting and he wasn't around." In fact, I think I might be the first person he'd think of if this were the case, or at least the second.
What do you think?

People post Greece as an aesthetic whether it's our mythology or our beautiful islands. Now we need you more than ever. Our country is literally burning, we have no help, no resources and new fire fronts are developing each hour and heading towards villages. People and animals are in danger. The fires are not going out and it's windy. Please share this, spread awareness. Greece is always first to send help when other European countries are in need of help. Please share.
