What if Andrew tolerates taking Kevin to night practice so Kevin won't drink himself to sleep instead.

I can think of two times where Neil says that Kevin got drunk and skipped night practice.

[phkin]

it’s genuinely so fucking funny to me that the fox’s are all bonded over trauma yet not a single person know wtf to do abt it

everyone’s like:

“oh shit… alison’s bf just died??.. do we wanna bet on her reaction??? or ??”

*scratches back of head* “sooo andrew just got assaulted and has been for the majority of his childhood?? also aaron killed the guy who did it?? do they need us for the trial or can i do my hw?”

“oh my god?? neil got beat to shit while away with his uncle???? or wait..he ran away to join the abusive cult college sport team for some reason and is now genuinely dissociating so bad he’s having skips in his time and memories but we aren’t allowed to talk abt it??? ok cool ig we won’t talk abt it then”

like guys wtf are we doing here

[destefinsky]

Oh Neil almost died by his serial killer dad and is covered in wounds? Let's take him horse back riding! That'll fix him

[destefinsky]

I have a WITSEC Agent Jeremy and the witness he is protecting Jean Moreau AU and I need the confedence to actually post it.

[destefinsky]

Fic is sitting at 20k words right now and I have about 5-10k left to finish. Think I might post the first chapter or two next week.

Anyone have a resource on formatting anything else I need to know before I post it to AO3?

[destefinsky]

Here is when Jean gets his car from the Ravens. Inside there is a ticket from when he picked Neil up from the airport.

This is Kevin and Jeremy talking aboug Kevin getting his car and school stuff back.

So did the Raven's replace Kevin's car after his escape or did they tow it back?

Do you think it's blood stained?

[whatthebleep]

Let's put one thing to bed, real quick, yeah?

"LOL Jeremy is the only character not under the thumb and eye and control of organized crime. He is going to be so shocken when..."

Babes. Jeremy Knox is controlled by a family of corrupt, conservative politicians. The patriarch of whom is a United States fucking Senator.

Babes. Jeremy Knox is controlled by a bribed and corrupt police force.

Babes. Jeremy Knox is controlled by those who could very well control the FBI.

Babes. Jeremy Knox is controlled by the highest echelon of organized crime in America.

It may not be the same, but it sure as hell isn't different.

[destefinsky]

The hints are there to something bigger going on

Let's examine the Wilshire's: Why does Bryson he come home in the summer? Why isn't he in New York doing internships or with his Grandfather? Why does it seem like Bryson has a sure thing somewhere after he graduates? We know he still has access to drugs, did he move up the food chain from dealer to supplier?

Why are we forcing all the kids to be lawyers when Jeremy being a mega sports star would bring in more money? What secrets are they keeping from Jeremy? Their scapegoat, the wildcard? What secrets is Jeremy keeping from us? We saw you needing something to occupy your hands when going to Warren's office.

Why is Joshua with the grandfather? Had to get him away from Jeremy to mold him after losing Noah? Keep him on the straight and narrow? Is Joshua bitter because of that?

What is Warren's job? Why does he keep weird hours? If everyone in his family goes into law why does he work at a hospital? He shouldn't have weird hours if he is on retainer by them.

We know that Riko had reach in California why can't Ichirou have contacts in California through the senator he owns.

[virtualvoyager8]

would that be a hot take if i said this fandom should probably care more about what's actually in the books instead of being this fixated on stuff nora said on her social media on a random thursday

[neroholik]

Sooo, violent Wymack in his young?

[destefinsky]

You know Kayleigh, I get it.

[lianscape]

In my perfect universe somehow Kevin runs into Shane and I can just imagine how it would go.

Kevin even though he’s so locked into exy he would still know Shane’s stats just cuz, I think him and Shane would definitely talk diets and workout routines together they are so similar in that aspect.

I can see them exchanging numbers and sending each other texts like

Kevin: I found this recipe that fits your diet I tried it and it’s good *insert random recipe*

Shane: Oh, I have tried that recipe before and it is good. 👍

I can also see them going to the gym together super early because why not (ignore how they aren’t in the same country) (edit: or state most of the time because of traveling for games)

Their contact names in their phones are smth like

“Kevin Day - Foxes” “Shane H - Hockey” just super like rigid but they are close regardless of that

Idk i just love them and i think they would get along they are so similar

[destefinsky]

Maybe Shane can convince Kevin to get sober.

Trigger Warning: SA/rape

Riko having Jean raped his freshman year was not just a punishment for Jean, it was a punishment for Kevin too.

Kevin, now says it's better if he stays straight after knowing he got caught looking back at Jean and how Riko punished them both.

Riko didn't want his toys to band together against him so he had to rip them apart.

Kevin throwing out Jeremy's name trying to distract Riko from their pining looks Jean didn't see Kevin return.

Kevin deciding to turn away from Jean and falling in bed with Thea to protect Jean from Kevin

Jean thinks Kevin sees nothing but the court because he never sees Kevin look for him again after their freshman year.

Kevin unable to forgive himself for his role in Jean's torture to ever play with him again sending Jean to the one piece of sunshine they both still believed in praying Jeremy could heal him.

Jeremy helps heal Jean's tender wounds

Jean finally able to be himself ends up choosing the sunshine boy when Jeremy needs him the most.

And Riko is still in Kevin's head telling him that he can never have the same.

[chaoticgremelin]

Every day I wake up and think about Kevin and Riko's fucked up relationship.

When did Riko start being cruel? Was it ever good? When did Kevin stop being a person to Riko? Was he ever a person? When did Kevin realize what Riko was doing to him was bad? Did he ever fully realize that? Did they fight a lot as kids? Did Kevin blame himself for how Riko turned out? Did he ever stop hoping Riko would accept his love instead of venting out on him? What exactly did Riko do to Kevin?

There are too many questions, I can't

Anyways, thanks, Nora, your characters are haunting my life.

[destefinsky]

I think Riko was at minimum bullying Kevin before Nathaniel came to the Nest for his tryout. Neil hinted that he questioned Riko and Kevin about the numbers. It was young Rikos way of putting Kevin in his "place" since Kevin was Kayleigh's son and I think Riko was jealous of Kevin being the true son of Exy.

Then Nathaniel's tryout happened. Riko, Nathaniel, and Kevin watched The Butcher take apart a man. (In the EC the man was someone who tried to go after Riko) Neil was taken away, Kevin learned how quickly the Moriyamas would turn on him and Riko learned he could hurt Kevin (and eventually Jean) in worse ways and his uncle would take care of it for him.

I don't want a live action All for the Game I want a Graphic Audio of All for the Game without critical mistakes that the current audiobooks make.

[destefinsky]

I made a comment about this passage yesterday on a post and it has wormed itself into my brain.

The Golden Raven Chapter 8.

“I have no reason to fight,” Kevin said. “Everything I want and need still lies ahead of me; it is a waste of time to look back so long as that holds true.”

​“Justice is not a waste of time.” (Jeremy Knox)

​“I don’t care about justice. All I want in life is to play the perfect game.” (Kevin Day)

Is this how we get into the Queen's Game? Something is going to happen and Kevin is going to have to start to care about the justice he is owed. What's finally going to break him?

Neil got them out of Riko/Testuji's hold

Jean (and Jeremy) the catalyst for the deal being broken

Kevin ends the Moriyama rein and brings a new era of Exy that his mom wanted.

[destefinsky]

High school AU where Jeremy is in the closet and Jean is the coach's new mysterious foster kid.

[destefinsky]

Something about Kevin being a coward in Neil's POV and strong in Jean's just breaks me.

[destefinsky]

Laila Dermott/Catalina Alverez AU where they meet when adrenaline junkie Cat is rollerskating down Santa Monics Peir to work at her diner she owns with Jean runs into Laila the commerical real estate agent who wants their properity for a high paying client who wants to turn it into a gentrified low sugar gluten free smoothie shop.
