really need bishop or sheldon or who tf ever to swing by during lunch one day and be all handsy with jeremy because I need to see the vein that pops out of jean’s neck and the way his gray eyes turn to hard slate and his hands twitch with lethal intent and how cat or cody or whichever poor unfortunate soul has to somehow stop this 6’2” angry frenchman from committing murder in broad daylight, mhmm
funniest part of tsc was when trojans went to the beach and the whole time jean was panicking over only two things
1. the possibility of jeremy drowning
2. jeremy’s wet thighs in those shorts
men be fighting devils and the devils in question are phobia of water from being waterboarded & hot men
NEEEEED a scene of jean kissing jeremy against the bike. like they go on a little scenic ride and stop at an overpass. and jean just presses jeremy up against the bike and kisses him with all that hunger we know he has
Still expecting Jeremy Knox to have some "How to get away from your toxic/rich/influential/exy hating family" classes,by the expert herself : Allison Reynolds
imagine that jeremy knox has cowboy boots shoved in the back of his closet. jeremy knox who has a matching cowboy hat. jeremy knox that knows line dances. jeremy knox that has a complicated relationship with them because “he is not my grandfather” but a part of him loves the dances anyway. jeremy knox that teaches jean line dances after cat discovered jean doesn’t know how to dance and made it her mission to introduce them to him. jeremy knox who mimics tipping his hat. jeremy knox who sees jean picking up on the dance enough that he pulls his boots and hat from the back of the closet to show it to him properly. jeremy knox who learns to be okay loving line dances through doing them with jean. jeremy knox line dancing
My favourite thing to torture myself with is imagining the aftg character at an age when they start to resemble their father.
Like Neil one day gets a haircut and then forgets to shave and looks in the mirror and has a complete breakdown. Let's is hair grow pretty long after and never cuts it above his ears.
Jeremy deciding to grow a beard because his father was always clean-shaven.
Jean having some buried memories dug up when he reaches a certain age and suddenly the face of his abuser is right in front of him again.
On the flipside, Kevin is all Keyleigh until he hits forty and then suddenly everyone is gushing about how he and Wymack are peas in a pod and it's an extra special connection between them
Jean “damn him for looking just as good as a blond as he did a brunette” Moreau
Jeremy “forgot everything else he could have said in favor of staring. It was the first time he’d heard Jean say his name. Hearing it in Jean’s accent put a wicked flutter in his stomach.” Knox
Jean “noticed the flick of his gaze over Jean’s face and down to his shirt: the deep blue top Jeremy had seemed so taken with yesterday.” Moreau
Jeremy “It was more endearing than it should be, and Jeremy hid a smile against his long-empty mug whenever Jean got particularly rude.” Knox
Jean “The sound of his language on Jeremy’s lips was enough to give Jean pause. He counted his heartbeats as he studied Jeremy’s face, committing the textbook-perfect sounds to memory” Moreau
Jeremy “it wasn’t the words that set his heart tripping; It was the heavy satisfaction in his tone that put a needy heat in Jeremy’s stomach.” Knox (all because Jean said he was very good.)
Jean “and like Kevin had accused him, Jean had been ultimately more interested in the accompanying photographs than whatever the text might have said.” Moreau
Jeremy “he couldn’t look away again. He watched colored lights dance off the sun-reddened cheeks until Jean finally caught him at it.” Knox
Jean “Jeremy’s smile was slow and radiant, and Jean had to look away.” Moreau
Jeremy “I’m not learning French for anyone but you” Knox
Jean “It makes you more interesting. Not your capacity for unkindness, but how fiercely you fight against it.” Moreau
Jeremy “It was enough to get Jean’s undivided attention, at least until Jeremy peeled his tank top off. Jean immediately found something else to stare at, like he always did when Jeremy was in varying stages of undress. It was horrifically inappropriate fighting for Jean’s attention like this, Jeremy knew.” Knox
Jean “didn’t have to look at Jeremy to know he was smiling, he could practically feel the warmth radiating off his captain” Moreau
Jeremy “would be lucky to know his own name when Jean was standing between his legs like this.” Knox
Jean “Fuck what I deserve. What about what I want? Moreau
Jeremy “Jean’s fingers on his neck killed his train of thought” Knox
Jean “I am not sorry. Perhaps I should be. But I will choose you every time. You, and Cat, and Laila, every time. I will lose them all if I must.” Moreau
Jeremy “What little Jeremy heard went way over his head; he knew nothing about motorcycles, and Jean was more interesting by far.” Knox
Jean “Brown like the gaze that sought Jean out in every room.” Moreau
💕 Jean “Tell Kevin to stay out of it” Moreau 💕

My first Kerejean fanfic! With trans Kevin Day, I'm actually proud of it so go read it if you want!^^
Love you on your lowest, love you all the time - Mistake789 - All For The Game - Nora Sakavic [Archive of Our Own]
tell me this is not Jean @ Jeremy and I’ll fight you with my bare hands
this will interest exactly zero people but I've been thinking about it for a while now and spent like four hours on this so may I present:
featuring Jean's glasshouse, a grey-haired Neil and Renee with a Dutch accent
disclaimer 1: if u see my aftg mina and lucy and ask how their friendship is supposed to work in this case I expand on that and some other interactions down below*
disclaimer 2: aftg obviously has way more core characters than dracula and I tried out a lot of combis but I'm still doubting the results so yeah... and also while I altered some relationships I tried to preserve the og dracula feel as much as I could
so here goes:
Jonathan Harker - Neil Josten (main character with zero survival skills, tries to lie low but can't NOT stir some shit up, had a lovely few weeks at Castle Dracula/Castle Evermore, dramatic hair colour changes by the end of the story)
Mina Harker - Andrew Minyard (clever™, done with everyone's dramatics, has to deal with Jonathan/Neil's shenanigans, quiet observer, the only one who seemingly has their shit together while actually suffering a lot but not wanting to let others be preoccupied by that)
Count Dracula - Riko Moriyama PLUS some others (it was difficult to place just one big bad guy because aftg has different layers of antagonists so while Riko is the primary Dracula 1.0 in his Castle (Evermore) whom Jonathan/Neil and the gang opposes they later on encounter another vampire, an ally of Dracula's from the west — Jonathan/Neil's father Nathan (the Butcher of Bristol) (no shade towards Bristol it just sounds neat) whom Neil thought he was long rid of in his life (Neil didn't know he became a vampire), think of him like Dracula 2.0, not less of an enemy than Riko)
Lucy Westenra - Jean Moreau (the epitome of being a victim of circumstances (made a target of Dracula/Riko's because fate just oh so wanted to screw them over), somehow simultaneously sweet summer child and hot icon, everybody wants them, lively extrovert (Jean IS canonically a sassy extrovert we just don't see a lot of it in tsc because his very fresh trauma dampens it but in tgr in becomes clearer)
Arthur Godalming - Kevin Day (the it girl, aristocrat (queen parallels), despite earnestly caring about Lucy/Jean still oversees a huge part of their pain; in my au Lucy/Jean doesn't choose him as husband)
Quincey Morris - Jeremy Knox (southern American sunshine, loyal to death and extremely protective over Lucy/Jean, quote from the og novel 'a rough fellow, who hasn't perhaps lived as a man should' (freshman jeremy giving a huge side eye rn) (his pupils are suspiciously diluted), the only one who does not canonically journal (concentration problems lol); in my au Lucy/Jean chooses Quincey/Jeremy over Arthur/Kevin)
Jack (John) Seward - Aaron Minyard !!! I swear !!! not just because they are both doctors it makes sense okay???? (logical thinker, has to deal with mentally unstable people on a daily basis, sceptical, secretly a softie, truly wants to help people get better; in my au he's crushing on Arthur/Kevin instead of Lucy/Jean but doesn't admit to it for a while because Art/Kev is a lordling and he is a common psychiatrist and also Art/Kev is too obsessed with Lucy/Jean to notice him (only at first though I'm a sap I like HEA))
Van Helsing - Renee Walker !! hear me out on this one before you ask wtf !! (seems like a cutie patootie but knows how to saw off a head, seen some shit in their life, has a deeper understanding of Mina/Andrew's intelligence, steps in to save Lucy/Jean's life, does not fear Dracula/Riko (or more like is not hesitant to challenge him despite the fear)
Renfield - this one was such a PAIN to place my first thought was Jean but I ended up giving him Lucy so after turning it this way and that way I thought maybe Seth Gordon would work? he died as a prop in Dracula/Riko's sick game so that fits but the overall dynamic still seems a tad off to me, let me know if you have a better take on aftg Renfield
* Lucy&Mina/Jean&Andrew:
so as I see it Andrew and Jean could actually have a nice platonic dynamic:
I think they are very compatible. In canon if Andrew was not (understandably) unable and unwilling to fully trust anyone but Neil (and Bee but to a certain degree) and if Jean was not royally fucked over by his time as Riko's property I believe they could have been friends or at least have a good understanding because they both couldn't care less about exy (and Kevin and Neil being exy junkies are the bane of their existence), they are sharp, sarcastic, often amused (but don't show it openly) by others' stupid behaviour (or what they perceive as stupid regardless of whether it actually is such).
In my dracula! au Andrew met Jean when he was ten and Jean nine after being thrown around various fucked up orphanages. He was separated from Aaron (who ended up adopted by a local physician) at birth.
Jean was adopted, too, when he was little (the Westenras saw a broody abandoned toddler on the streets of Marseille while on vacation and were like welp guess we have a kid now huh). His adoptive parents, the Westenras, took Andrew in because they thought Jean was lonely as a teenager (he was okay with the company of his dogs and the bugs in the garden and the swallows living in a nest under the slope of the roof by his room's window but whatever). The Westenras are the kind of wealthy who are trying to 'make a difference' and not be like those other rich folks or something like that but my world is all sunshine and rainbows so they actually are THAT nice and did not adopt the boys for public appearances only. They wanted to give Andrew a chance at good life though Andrew obv has the impression of it all being bs at the beginning (who can blame him he's been through Things). Jean was very patient about his attitude and supported him on the journey of healing from the childhood abuse so they are practically siblings. (Aaron is very hurt and bitter because his brother feels like that about some random ass obnoxious French guy and it makes him dislike Jean initially which is only made worse when Kevin ends up fawning over him but as they are forced to work together when Jean is targeted by Dracula/Riko Aaron sort of starts seeing more of his actual personality and they actually get to know each other outside of Aaron's jealousy). (Jean was actually not at all hostile and very curious (ahem) about Aaron at the start, the young gentleman who appeared exactly like his adoptive brother at first glance but somehow completely different, so contemplative, unreachable, oftentimes letting out bitter quips abot this and that, a competent doctor, so mysterious and lonesome, for some reason reluctant to respond to Jean's attempts at getting to know him better. But then Quincey/Jeremy turned up and Jean was done for lol).
The dracula!au version of Jean and Andrew not giving a damn about exy would be them not caring about high society soirées and such, they would rather go explore some ancient abbey ruins together, read a book or study shorthand (in Andrew's case) or do some gardening and pottery (in Jean's case), while Arthur/Kevin organises all these high society events and cricket games and whatnot desperately trying to spend some time with his bestie (Andrew, remains unimpressed) or engage Jean's attention (unsuccessful, Jean would rather visit Kevin's good friend Aaron at the asylum to hover at his side while Dr Minyard speaks to some guy expanding on how he would prepare Aaron for dinner should he have a chance to strangle him, or listen to yet another good pal of Kevin's, an eccentric American with tan arms and cute freckles rambling about rare plants he encountered on his journeys which he swears he could acquire for Jean's winter garden should his dear Mr Moreau express such a whish) (Jean has scored with this one lol the neighbourhood's ladies will be foaming at the mouth at the mere sight of his gorgeous conservatory)
**bonuses:
Swales (old guy in Whitby who sences Dracula's coming) - Wymack (ngl I chose this one because it's objectively hilarious: just an old man who's seen it all and does not hesitate to openly say his opinion on anything with no filter whatsoever, also kinda the voice of wisdom to Mina/Andrew although they do not take him very seriously but he ends up being right every time)
the three vampire women in Dracula's Castle - Lola, Romero and Jackson (basically Dracula 2.0/Nathan's sidekicks)
***what's up with the rest of the characters (not exactly based on the novel but I tried (emphasise on tried) to be loosely historically accurate to the Victorian era setting):
Matt and Dan are a married couple, both children of formerly enslaved abolitionist activists. They are working at Jonathan/Neil's solicitor office and are thoroughly baffled by him skipping work (he left a cryptic note temporarily transferring his responsibilities to them) after being abroad to work with a private client and showing up a couple weeks later completely grey-haired, stacking the office cupboard with gallons of holy water and decorating the space with awfully smelly flowers. Obviously, knowing Dan's character, she (with Matt's support) was also an active advocate for equality (for women's rights as well as black people's rights)
Allison is a countess. She's friends with Arthur/Kevin and although he is supportive of her he does not always get her since she mostly spends her time exploring the life of lower classes all over England and travelling around the world shooting documentaries about different cultures (of course she has early access to the curious new invention of moving pictures). She meets Van Helsing/Renee during her stay in London and they bond over interest in science and being explorers in their respective fields
Nicky Hemmick is a renowned tailor, his clothes are worn by every self-respecting Londoner who can afford it and quite a few aristocrats all around England. He discovers his relation to the twins a bit later in life than he would have wished but he tries to be there for them both as much as he can. He loves tailoring but he also runs his salon as a front for what is basically a safe space for queer people since they are targeted by the Labouchere Amendment. Nicky doesn't know it but Andrew (using Kevin's ties) watches out in case Nicky falls under the government's suspicion because of such activities. Also, Nicky is friends with Oscar Wilde :)
Cat and Laila live in their own little paradise on a ranch in Texas, Jean and Jeremy will secretly elope there eventually after the gang deals with all the vampires because I refuse to kill them off in this au
Okay I think that was it for now. What am I doing with my life
went out to run some errands to stop thinking about jerejean for a bit because the amount of feelings I get from them is sometimes a Lot (capital L). anyway saw this on a wall just now-- thoughts immediately spiralled back to jeremy mission successfully failed

'grumpy x sunshine' but it's a shakespearean level of poetic christian bisexual drama queen biker fresh out of a cult who is good at cooking and gardening and a love starved fake blond recovered drug addict with zero self appreciation skills and a penchant for adopting strays who is also a bad driver
digital diary something something contd: just gotten my delivery with two paperbacks the sunshine court and the golden raven might lowkey explode from joy
i am so excited to buy some highlighter pens to mark quotes and thing is i've never highlighted anything in my books before the most i've done so far when reading was annotations with just random remarks written with pencil but for some reason this idea has been living rent free in my head since i decided i needed tsc in physical form and i am so hyped to colour code jean's and jeremy's quotes when rereading and maybe get another extra colour for wholesome moments overall omfg what have i become
saw a version with the hunger games and made this to visualise my current state
all credits to whomever made up this type of meme first
maybe it's just my katarsis (as in the lithuanian band) brainrot overlapping with my jerejean brainrot (send help) but i can't stop thinking about how the song tavo akys really fits jerejean so well like firstly there is this general desperation and the hunger the song conveys to me personally that just makes me think about how both jean and jeremy have this overwhelming feelings for each other they don't realise are mutual (yet) AND jean thinking about jeremy's eyes (don't even get me started on the whole brown thing) and how jean sees jeremy's smiles often don't reach them but ALSO on the other hand jeremy seeing jean's trauma in his expression so often so the whole part of the song with "your eyes see pain" and so on can be applied to them both from each others perspectives AND THEN at the beginning of the song "the home burns" like hello what a coincidence and this is regarding both their feelings figuratively and the arson situation literally (rip cozy home nr 1) (they'll build a new one together) ALSO there is this general feeling of hopelessness to the song and the boys are so falling for each other but don't allow any hope to get added to the equation (not yet anyway) (though jean at least is on the right path with admitting to himself what he WANTS) (tsc3 has me waiting on my knees) (please let them hope and get what they hoped for please)
Its the big day finally, but im not from usa so i just cry in silence, misunderstood by my friends and family.
Spoilers, my only information source, is the most hated thing in my life but at the same time the only thing that keeps me sane
😭😭
No idea if nora did it on purpose or not, but the coach jackie's surname from the sunshine court, lisinski, has the word fox in it in polish.
Lis, the first part of the surname, means literally fox.
I've just read sunshine court and it stuck out to me immediately, because if this was a coincidance then it's crazy how nora nailed it right on the spot.
If it wasn't, which i belive was the case, then my heart warms in the research nora put into naming the characters.
Also i have no idea if this was pointed out already. Maybe some other polish/slavic person saw it before me
no tgr spoilers since I haven't finished it... On chapter 12
However. Jeremy Knox is never beating the Gansey allegations I fear
reasons I’m like Jeremy Knox:
from a big LA family, blond
Reasons I’m like Jean Moreau:
bisexual and hating it
End of list ✋
I found this so endearing even though I know it’s because my boy was literally like too busy getting waterboarded to learn what weed is 🤦♀️
Jeremy: it must be easier, liking both
Jean, who spent two books considering gouging out his eyes:
jeremy knox really hit it all!
- dead brother
- not one but TWO asshole fathers
- suicide attempt
- cocaine
- gay
Jeremy to Kevin: i wonder 🌸😊 what 💞Jean💕 will do after college ✨🌼 when he doesn't have to play exy anymore 💫☺️🌺✨
Kevin: this sweet summer child doesn't know our souls literally belong to a mob boss
