the foxhole court was the only home he needed; the foxes were his family.
*slams fist on table* i need a fic/headcanon about Jeremy dancing in his and Jean’s kitchen and Jean coming in and Jeremy grabbing him and dancing him around the room!!
jeremy knox really seems like the kind of person who would sneak up to jean moreau while the latter is sleeping and wake him up with a boop to the nose
Nicky at some point, possibly joking, possibly not, mentioning how damn disappointing it is that Neil and Andrew don’t have pet names for each other. Like, don’t they know that’s the ultimate height of affection?
And like Andrew thinks this over for two seconds and turns to Neil and says, completely deadpan, “what do you think, sweetheart?”
Neil doesn’t miss a beat when he says, “sounds like a great idea, darling.”
And so this starts positively the most terrifying thing the Foxes have ever seen. Neil and Andrew’s pet name war. Andrew pulls out Honey Bunny while they’re out for dinner one night and nearly causes Nicky to choke to death on his spaghetti, but Neil gets to drop Snookum in the middle of a team meeting and causes Wymack to go speechless.
It’s awful. Nicky has never heard somebody sound so close to committing murder while calling their boyfriend High King of my heart (Neil maintains he should get extra points for creativity on that one) and he is very, very, very sorry he ever brought it up but now it’s too late because Neil and Andrew think it’s hilarious and they will not stop.
songzichens said: jerejean + no. 89?
i hope you don’t mind that this is in headcanon form! x
also, i didn’t have time to edit this, so please let me know if i need to change anything!
jerejean and #89: “you have to tell me why we’re committing a felony before we do it. not that that’s going to stop us, but at least i’ll have all the facts.”
- jeremy is known as the sunshine god™ of exy, but in reality he has somewhat of a rebellious streak
- it is something that jean’s surprised to find out during his first couple of weeks as a trojan
- not even a week passed before jeremy was pulling pranks on his fellow trojan
- except jean, who wasn’t comfortable with that yet
- jean is jeremy’s roommate though, so he has the privilege of being the person that jeremy goes to when he’s feeling particularly rebellious
- “jean. hey. jeeeeaaaan!”
- “it’s two fucking thirty in the morning jeremy what do you want?”
- let’s go break into laila and alvarez’s dorm room. i bet we’d scare the shit out of them”
- “it is two thirty in the goddamn morning.”
- “which is why they’ll be twice as scared”
- cue jean mumbling in french
- but he goes with jeremy, of course he does. jean has been with the trojans long enough to comfortably admit that jeremy’s his best friend, the only friend he’s had really, that is if you don’t count kevin or neil
- during jean’s second year as a trojan, jeremy’s antics get continually more outlandish and er… illegal
- which is why, at around three am, jean is woken up to jeremy poking his face repeatedly
- “i’ve just had the best idea.” -jeremy
- “i am nOT going bungee jumping with you again, jeremy knox.” -jean
- “but-” -jeremy
- “no.” -jean
- “that wasn’t even what i was going to ask you, but we’re definitely going to have a conversation about doing that again later.” -jeremy
- “what do you want, jere?” -jean
- “let’s go graffiti a wall” -jeremy
- who would expect this from adorable jeremy knox? jean probably.
- jean has come to accept his fate as jeremy’s partner in crime
- it doesn’t mean he has to like it though.
he totally does- so jean drags himself out of bed at three in the fucking morning and quickly dresses in a sweatshirt and sweatpants
- jeremy is the kind of person who can wake up and be cheery in five seconds flat, so he’s fully dressed and starting on his second cup of coffee
- jean is grumpy and not amused
- together they head out of their dorm and through the campus until they come upon another dorm
- jeremy stops in front of the wall closest to the entrance (thank god the security guard it out, jean thinks) and sets down a heavy bag before pulling out several cans of spray paint and handing a blue one to jean
- at least he thinks it’s blue, its fucking dark out ok
- “you have to tell me why we’re committing a felony before we do it. not that that’s going to stop us, but at least i’ll have all the facts.” jean says right as jeremy stars to head towards the wall with a look of determination
- “remember when maura was upset and didn’t come to practice the other day?” jeremy asks, referring to their new freshman offensive dealer.
- “er… yeah?”
- “some ass that lives here decided to call her all sorts of names, so i thought we’d get revenge.”
- jean pauses and stares at jeremy’s face for a moment
- then he grabs his can of spray paint and turns back to jeremy
- “do you remember the guy’s name?”
- “daniel”
- jean proceeds to spray paint DANIEL IS A FUCKWAD in french
does the french language have a word close to fuckwad? i don’t even knowjust pretend- “what does it say?” jeremy asks, looking at the new addition curiously.
- jean tells him and jeremy spends the next ten minutes trying to stifle his laughter so no one comes to investigate
- they then take turns drawing and writing various things that all portray the same message – daniel is a giant douchebag
- once satisfied with their work, jeremy picks up the spray paint cans and packs up the bag
- they spend the entire walk back to the dorms laughing and imagining what daniel’s reaction to their graffiti will be
- later, when jean is crawling back into his bed, a thought crosses his mind
- “…..jeremy…..”
- “yeah?”
- “aren’t there security cameras at that dorm”
- a pause
- “OH SHIT”
the best part of the entire foxhole court series is when andrew calls jean “jean valjean”
hacker au that i talked about with @myexalted like a century ago
this is kind of a mess and has no actual plot, just ramblings
- neil is the owner of a store and andrew and his little hooligan hacker friends take refuge in his store because it has the fastest and most secure wifi
- neil doesn’t really give a shit
- andrew’s hacker group name is “the monsters” lbr
- everyone is a hacker except neil
- he was supposed to be one but his mom said no
- “mom, please, i want to be a hacker so bad!!”
- “no, sweetie, fucking shut up about it.”
- neil was shut down by his mother
- eden’s was probably the monsters’ usual spot but then roland downgraded to shitty wifi
- They camp out at wymack’s for a while but he definitely kicked them all out permanently
- “get out, you rascals, AND NEVER COME BACK!” he’s like one of those small, old, and angry cartoon men
- neil to the monsters: that’s illegal.
- andrew: are you going to kick us out
- neil: …. * walks away *
- neil either didn’t have a password on his wifi or the monsters didn’t give a single fuck and just hacked it
- they probably hacked it
- they bring lawn chairs with them and just camp out by the drinks
- they take what they want and then they leave a shit ton of money on the counter when they leave
- neil, perhaps deep deep inside: looking at their faces, together with such belonging, i felt an inexplicable feeling of loneliness. it was not new, but i felt remade with the desire to be a part of something.
- the monsters: just huddled together with computers taking up half the space of the store and probably scaring away customers
- the store is probably his mom’s and he is breaking every single management rule she ever taught him. he angsts about it
- andrew eats the whole stock of popsicles
- what if the upperclassmen are a separate hacker group but they have to grudgingly team up with the monsters for an important hack that would benefit them both and they needed more people
- but neil, the hot store owner, brings them together
- neil, popping his head around the corner: DO YOU GUYS NEED ANYTHING?
- andrew tells him to fuck off without looking up from the screen
- neil is definitely the one who keeps the peace tho when tension gets too high, because everyone (mostly) likes neil
- imagine Andrew with one of those huge ass tubs of ice cream, sitting and eating it while working
- kevin gets stressed because he’s like “anDREW WHAT IF YOU SPILL IT ON YOUR LAPTOP???”
- instead of exy he’s obsessed with computers
- andrew: kevin, kevin, kevin, do you think i’m some amateur?
- kevin probably likes to browse technology stores in his spare time
- in this au, wymack is aware that kevin is his son and he visits the store like “hey what’s up my son, my flesh and blood, how is ur lame ass hack going? oh, you’re still not done? move over, your old man’s got this” and he cracks the code in like ten seconds
- also this whole time in the beginning neil is like
- “I’m sorry, Mom Who Is Dead, i’ll kick them out in a month. just let me have this for now”
- but then he meets riko and he finds out the group is dedicated to taking him down and he’s immediately like “you can have this whole store, this fucker is going down”
- the groups have to come together and they don’t like each other but they’re good together
- so they become the foxes because they argue over which name they’re going to stick with
- maybe neil is also a super big computer nerd and one day kevin is doing something difficult and he can’t manage it and he’s getting frustrated and neil (who is not blind or stupid) knows they’re hacking something and neil’s just like “have you tried doing *insert hacker term here*” and all of the monsters just fucking stare at him
- andrew threatens neil, and neil just smiles back
- kevin may or may not have a boner
- this goes on with neil just stocking the freezers with popsicles and andrew eating them all and the foxes taking riko down
- but the foxes still come into the store after they’re finished with their ‘mission’ and they’re a computer nerd family instead of an exy nerd family
dysfunctional-college-roommates:
There are a lot of times when I just can’t stop thinking about how Neil didn’t even bother researching Jean for his Exy-star scrapbook. He obsessed over Andrew because he assumed that Kevin had left the Ravens and joined the Foxes because of him, but Jean?
Jean had one of Riko’s perfect court numbers on his face. But, apparently, he didn’t spend enough time in the spotlight with Kevin and Riko to capture Neil’s attention. He was just Riko’s torture toy.
how is Jean Moreau doing?? is he eating enough?? is he making friends at USC??? getting enough sleep?? having fun?? are the Trojans encouraging him to dress in brighter colors and helping him adjust to his new life??
is he healthy?? happy???? does he know he is loved?!!??
Neil in book one: *panicking* I can’t ever let the press even see me I can’t talk to any reporter or speak to anyone they will find me and kill me no no no oh my god
Neil in book three: *grabbing the microphone back after talking shit on live television for 20 minutes* AND YOU KNOW WHAT? ONE MORE THING I THINK COACH MORIYAMA SHOULD SHOVE AN EXY RACKET RIGHT UP HI-
