    Summary

    When they laid Riko’s body to rest, the only thing Jean could think about was Kevin Day. Kevin Day, Castle Evermore, and the fragile blades of grass near his feet. He thought he must’ve been imagining their brightness, the absolute intensity of the iridescent neon bright fucking green of them.

    Riko was dead.

    -

    “The Ravens never scouted me,” said Jeremy. He was bouncing his leg under the table. “Didn’t you know why?”

    Summary

    When Wymack, Kevin and Andrew came to recruit Neil Josten in Millport, Neil decided to say 'no' instead of 'yes' to joining the Foxes and does what he does best, which is run. Unfortunately, that brings him to the attention of the Moriyamas, who return him to his 'rightful' place.

    Now Neil has to learn how to survive at the Nest with his only ally another 'asset' long kept under Riko's heel.

    Summary

    Jean knew he would never get the sound of Jeremy’s scream out of his head. He shouldn’t have been able to hear it. The mics shouldn’t have picked it up in the roaring stadium. Maybe he had been imagining it… But no. The sound was reverberating through his mind, clear and loud.

    On the screen of the New York Gladiators locker room television, Jeremy lay crumpled on the court, curled up around his knee. His left knee. The knee he swore was not bothering him had not been giving him any trouble as of late.

    Summary

    “I was just gonna say I’m about to take a shower.”

    “Okay?”

    Jeremy looks sheepish when he says, “I just thought you should know.”

    There’s a tension thick enough to slice in the gaze they lock each other in.

    Was that an invitation?


    Jeremy helps Jean process his fear of water and they both fall into a messy habit.

    Summary

    Jean opened his eyes when it had been several seconds since he had stopped speaking, and Jeremy had yet to say anything. His hair glittered gold in the autumn sunlight that was quickly dropping, eyes warm and radiant as they studied Jean, seeing him in a way that was almost uncomfortably perceptive. The way the light hit them, they looked more gold than brown. He looked like living sunlight. A small smile splayed his lips, though Jean could not tell if it looked sad or not.

    “That, and your summers are unbearable,” Jean finally said when the silence was getting to be uncomfortable. 

    Jeremy only huffed a laugh and shook his head. “I like autumn, too,” he finally said and then pushed himself to his feet. After dusting himself off, he held a hand out to Jean. When Jean took it, Jeremy leaned in ever so slightly and said, “Autumn looks good on you, Jean Moreau.”

    His face heated at the words, and a grin split across Jeremy’s. He rolled his eyes and let the sunshine captain pull him up off the blanket.

    Summary

    “How did you find this week’s assignment?” Rhemann asks, stirring a cup of tea as Jean unpacks his violin and fishes for the right music folders to place on the stand by the piano.

    “As useless as ever,” Jean says, quickly tightening his bow hair and applying rosin. “Did it have to be a middle school theater class?”

    “Yes,” Rhemann answers plainly. “Jeremy said you did a very impassioned recitation of a Shakespeare monologue.”

    It is only the knowledge that this man controls Jean’s entire future that stops him from rolling his eyes.

    Summary

    The frustrating part about it is that he almost makes it to the end. They’re inside of the two minute warning, and the remaining time is a formality at this point. Utah has no hope of closing a fifteen point deficit, and Jean is actually shocked that he hasn’t been pulled yet to give the sophomores some more experience on the court.

    All Jean knows is that one second he is passing the ball halfway across the court to Min, and the next he is staring at the bright lights of the Sunshine Court, and the blurry orbs dance slowly in front of his eyes, shining so brightly that it burns. Jean thinks he knows what this is already, and he rolls over onto his knees to lessen the brightness, and when he feels nausea roll in his stomach and a firework of pain explode in his forehead, it’s confirmed.

    He has hit his head, and there is no way that he isn’t concussed.

    (alternatively titled: jean tries to hide a concussion and it definitely goes well)

    Summary

    Instantly, Wymack knows that this is going to set off a bomb in their home. Elodie is a good kid, quiet and skittish as hell, but smart and polite and pretty receptive to the general structure of their house. This kid has defiance written all over his file, and he’s fifteen, which means that he can take however much belligerence he’s guessing and fucking multiply it by ten.

    But it’s also clear that Jean needs somewhere safe. And that is something he and Abby can easily provide.

    Summary

    Every selfish molecule in Jeremy's body is screaming at him to say no, because he never wants to see Jean Moreau again, but he cannot let his personal pain dictate this decision. Objectively, Jean Moreau is the best backliner the sport has ever seen, and with him on their line the Trojans could finally win a championship. Less objectively, he knows more about the Nest than Kevin thinks he does, and he does not want to know how injured Jean has to be to actually warrant dismissal, considering what he knows he has played through.

    Jean deserves to get out of there, and if Kevin thinks that this is the only way to get him out, then Jeremy has to agree.

    Even if it breaks him in the process.

    (Or, the one where they're exes.)

    Summary

    “How’s your pain?” Jeremy asked. Jean brought his hand up, tilting it back and forth in a so-so motion. Jeremy frowned. “Usually this bad?”

    “Usually does not happen at all,” Jean shrugged. “I am managing.”

    Jeremy paused, as if thinking. He turned to make sure the women were still busy, and Jean mused that they were practically making out at this point, but his thoughts came to a grinding halt when Jeremy leaned beside his ear. His breath was hot on Jean’s cheek as he spoke in quiet French.

    Jean’s head spun; this time, not from the pain. I could help you, if you wanted.

    “Oh, and how is that, Jeremy?”

    “I can show you tonight,” he offered casually. “After Cat and Laila go to bed?”

    Jean forced himself to retain eye contact and ignore the growing feeling in his abdomen. He hummed. “We’ll see.”

    Or, for the first time since leaving the Nest, Jean gets his period; Jeremy offers to help.

    Summary

    When Jeanne was fourteen, her parents sold her to Tetsuji Moriyama to pay off their debt. She had thought life before had been bad, but then the Ravens got their claws into her. Life in the Nest was a new kind of hell. And in the Nest, Riko was their King.

    Belonging to the King meant being broken in every conceivable way. More than a few Ravens were more than happy to help him in that mission. When her only friend left her behind, he took her only hope of survival with him. Now left alone to endure the dark, she had almost forgotten what it was to know light. That was until she met two people who would stop at nothing to see her freed; Renee Walker and Neil Josten.

    But the suffering the Nest caused her wouldn't just go away now that she was free — Not when she had a baby Raven growing inside of her.

    Summary

    Jean was already slamming the door closed before his sleep-addled brain registered Neil Josten was standing there, holding a small birthday balloon. Neil’s arm darted out and stopped the door before it could shut completely. He pushed the door open again and raised an eyebrow at Jean.

    “It’s nice to see you, too, Jean,” Neil said, ignoring Jean’s confusion and stepping into the apartment. He passed the balloon over to Jean, waiting until he finally wrapped his fingers around the stick and took it. “Happy birthday.”

    Or

    In which Jean celebrates his birthday for the first time with the Trojans and Neil.

    Summary

    When his kingdom falls, Prince Kevin Day is ripped from his golden cage and thrust into reality. With no skills to speak of and his title gone, he has to work long and hard to learn how to survive. It is only through the grace of his teachers (or captors or liberators, depending on how one looks at it) that he has succeeded, allowing him a kind of freedom and self-sufficiency he's never known. Together, Jeremy, Jean, and Kevin form a tenuous bond of loyalty and obligation, allowing them to co-exist peacefully.

    It is a partnership built on mutual understanding and respect. One with clear lines and boundaries. One that reminds Kevin daily of his place. Until one day, it all starts to unravel.

    An innocent question asked at the wrong place, at the wrong time, reveals something Kevin had no intention of disclosing. An overhead conversation through a window exposes a secret Kevin wasn't supposed to hear. Now, as Samhain fast approaches, the seams of Kevin's small world are falling apart. And when the dust settles, he will have to decide - what does he really want?

    5 Facts About Rising Star Neil Josten, Lead in Newest Reynolds Film

    1. Neil starred in his first commercial when he was just six years old–remember a kid with bright blue eyes and a milkstache? Yeah, that was him.

    2. He graduated early with honours and received scholarships for 4 of the top schools in the country before ultimately deciding on Columbia University. Intelligence is so hot.

    3. Neil is to be up for his first Academy Award just three years into his career as a full-time actor. Talent or prodigy? Either way, we will be sat!

    4. He’s a polyglot! Neil says his family has ties all over the world, which means he learned multiple languages at a young age. He’s fluent in English, Dakhóta, French, German and is currently teaching himself Spanish. Siri, how do you say “he’s too good to be true” in French?

    5. Rumour has it he and infamous actor Andrew Minyard do not get on, yet staff on-set have said the two can’t help but pick on each other. Frenemies? Bromance? We’re dying to know.

    Summary

    Palmetto Services (also known as the Foxhole Court because of its decorations and plethora of fox stuffed animals on hand) has a dedicated staff of employees willing to do whatever they can to help children who've been let down by the system, their families, the very people who are supposed to protect and take care of them; many of them know first-hand the pain and difficulties these children have suffered.

    Many of them have ghosts from the past they're doing their best to excise, to forget or move on from in one way or another.

    Some of them in a literal sense.

    One of them isn't trying to let go at all.

    Summary

    “Do not go back to them.” Jean breathed, quiet yet unwavering.

    Jeremy smiled humourlessly. “I wish it were that easy.”

    Jean’s hand on his chin shouldn’t have startled him—he should be used to the sensation by now—but it was possible he was more out of it than he realized.

    “I do not want anyone ever hurting you. Not when you are this insistent on hurting yourself.”

    When Jeremy returns to their hotel room after hooking up with Faser, he’s bordering on an anxious break. Jean suggests he take a bath to relax, helping him destress while asking about Jeremy’s past. Their feelings for each other become harder to suppress as the night goes on, and worn down by the weight of his mistakes, Jeremy stops denying what a good thing him and Jean and their love could be.
