Lark Liveblogs Literature: THE SUNSHINE COURT BABYYYYY LETS GO JEAN

to begin: THE COVER???

The fucking NARCISSUS/DAFFODIL. Stop stop stop. Nora stop. She said it wouldn’t be a sun but I WASNT READY.

RESILIENCE. FIRST BLOOM AT THE END OF WINTER. NEW BEGINNINGS AND REBIRTH.

warning in advance for how many reaction images will be in this post. Miss Nora Sakavic has a way of making me unable to verbalise how devistated I am so I turn to goofy photos.

Also, just so we’re all on the same page:

it’s 1:20 AM. My roommate IS asleep. I am fighting the demons (downloading this book) but i am winning (it is queued on my kindle)

ITS DOWNLOADED LETS GO

Okay so context is that my Kindle is at 10%

I tried to go to bed and read this in the morning but I am

SO NOW I HAVE FRANTICALLY FOUGHT A WAR (figured out how to get this book) AND I AM READY FOR BATTLE (to cry over Jean)

ONE, TWO, THREE, LETS GO BITCH!!

Also my kindle cord is too small for me to properly lay in bed so im literally about to lay on my stomach kicking my feet like a middle schooler WISH. ME. LUCK.

CHAPTER ONE:

oh we’re jumping right in okay. god. hi baby :((

OH. I am just adding onto my #1 Riko hater agenda right now.

“The golden rule— not where the public can see” DIE. LITERALLY DIE TETSUJI

“The lack of broken fingers this time” THIS TIME??? JEAN. JEAN.

im so.

RENEE!!!

“and he had wasted them texting Renee a heads-up.” Nora please we’re only four pages in bro

Renee i love you im marrying you please give me a kiss. Mwah Mwah Mwah. She said “Bitch. Lay back down.”

currently also reading a batshit raven!neil fic and just. on the ground. about all of this.

stop the way I literally went “who the fuck is Nathaniel” Im too transgender for this.

Me, seeing the Abby content we need in this world:

Jean dont call that hellscape home bbg

Renee beating self worth into this man. ily

“Jean couldnt remember the last time he was allowed to wear color” LITERALLY KILL ME

Nora I need you to be less good at describing pain please and thanks

NOT THE BITING

DADMACK DADMACK DADMACK DADMACK!!

he fr be moving this man like a doll. love you wymack

tied him up with racquet laces I. h. lays on floor softly crying.

NOT THE DADDY ISSUES

Jean fr out here plotting 50 ways to kill his brother. he fr though Neil was the problem. no girl Neil just has no tact and autism rizz. Kevins the fucking snitch

no one:

Jean @ the Moriyamas;

“that man is years overdue for a head-on high-speed collision” YOU TELL EM DADMACK

CHAPTER TWO:

Jean please just sleep like a normal human man. God.

Even Jean be out here like “Kevins a little Chihuahua ass drama queen. Bitchboy. Wet cat man.”

Kevin: look, bro, if the 5’3 twink with enough daddy issues to make riko blush and chugs ‘fuck around and find out’ juice for breakfast can escape the moriyamas and not die, so can you.

Testuji. Testuji when I catch you. Tetsuji

Jean what the fuck makes you think anyone but Andrew Minyard will ever tell Neil what to do. Girl.

“If I am not a Raven, who am I?” A MOTHERCUCKING TROJAN BABYYYY

“I have to go to my next class.” I forgot they were in college deadass. Neil is straight up my age im gonna throw up.

Okay. It is. *checks time* 3 AM. I cannot keep my eyes open, which means i must put Jean away for sleep.

ITS IS NOON THE FOLLOWING DAY. I HAVE SLEPT. I HAVE TAKEN MY MEDICATIONS. TIME TO HYPERFOCUS BABY.

KINDLE SAYS WE HAVE 8 hrs 27 mins LEFT IN THIS BOOK. IM SAYING GOODBYE TO MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY. I’LL SEE Y’ALL AT DINNEE TIME. ITS JEAN TIME.

Hiiiiiii Thea….

“Good morning, Paris.” Now, the average man will see this as a reference to his frenchness. but real ones know Paris is prince of Troy, the man who married Helen of Troy & started the Trojan war.

do y’all think Jean has a french accent wait wait wait. obviously itd be very slight at this point but is it there. necessary question.

Assessing Thea like a fucking state exam right now. Neil could not have cared less about your ass I am gaining so much information

Hate of my life Riko moriyama.

CHAPTER THREE:

JEREMY FUCKING KNOW HI BAYYYBY

the way I literally got up and had to pace and stim for a moment even though I fully expected this. autism. my roommate is concerned. not really. she’s used to this she watched me read TKM and dramatically reenact the Ichirou Car Talk.

wow??? AFTG team actually seems happy and well-adjusted and friendly with each other??

Random Note: I’m currently watching Blue Exorcist & one of the main characters is a girl name Moriyama and I’m literally just sitting here like “This girl is way to nice and innocent to have that name.” Because she literally is the nicest girl to ever exist. Why is she cursed with the same name as my mortal enemy (Testuji)

“Tonight’s experiment was the icing on the cake, an invaluable experience no matter how it ended.” Jeremy, my love.

He has empathy… Never before seen footage. Y’all get the cameras!!

He’s so shaken about Jean,,, holding you so gently Jeremy. Here as a guy who knows nothing at all about Jeremy since I’m. so new here. but god.

Jeremy: are you sure a Raven can abide by Troja—

Kevin: Bro Jean is so pathetic he’s a bottom fr. He never disobeys an order

Jeremy: I. Okay you didnt have to say it like that, bro.

I will literally never stop respecting the Trojans strat in the final they really said. “If these fucks can win the championships with nine players, surely we can.” and then willingly got their asses handed to them.

“Xavier stumbled when he got the next serve off, and the Fox guarding him gamely hauled him back upright before running for the ball. It was a simple gesture, but it endeared Jeremy to them” I dont remember if this bit was described in tkm so i’m going to guess that’s Nicky or Matt. Aaron would fucking never.

Nah because like. Yes this proved to the Trojans how resilient the Foxes were, but it was also a message to the audience, yk? Like we know the Foxes were getting shit for their quick rise to the top after they pulled their shit together, but I personally think that the Trojans did this both for their improvement & for Foxes’ publicity. This game proved to the public at large how devastatingly *good* the Foxes were, because of their small size. The second best team in the league crumbled playing the same conditions the Foxes did *every game* and got to championships with. They proved that Foxes were, in fact, a D1 team who earned their keep.

oh hes got daddy’s money. Well. not. officially. yo what I mean.

“it was always best to have a paper trail” Neil Josten would have an anuerysm hearing those words.

Bye Jeremy I’m. Love you so much. Why do you feel like a sixty year old man in your early twenties.

“between seven and twelve students.” yikes.

“unfamiliar and accented voice.” I WAS RIGHT I FUCKING CALLED IY HES GOT AN ACCENT BABY FUCK YEAH

“you ever feel like— like you’re making a choice you cant come back from? But even knowing everything could go completely sideways, you’d make that choice every time?” okay so coming out allegories i could make aside, Jeremy is so… where to start with him. He reminds me of Percy Jackson. Endlessly loyal and selfless to the point its a bit stupid but endearingly stupid.

CHAPTER FOUR:

Okay so we’re alresdy hateflirting. noted.

Its also extremely sunny today in Podunk Hicksville where I live so it feels very On Brand.

“Jean had seen that smile in a half-dozen broadcast… He could picture it too easily, and he dug his fingernails into his own face in vicious warning.” Awww you think you can best the gay worms in your brain. goodluck with that Johnny.

“isn’t that reason enough to keep living? To rediscover simple delight one moment at a time,” keeping this quote for eternity

“enough sunlight to chase away Evermore’s shadows. They are willing to take a chance on you. Aren’t you?”

Kevin Day autistic king. taking this hesdcannon to my grave .

“the conspiracy theorists were working overtime” no girl they just aint stupid.

THEY DESTROYED HIS POSTCARDS…

CHAPTER FIVE:

I want to start keeping record of all the times Jean is like “[name] wasn’t decent enough to [thing]” because its SO funny. We LOVE a petty king.

also keeping track of all the insults he throws at Neil.

Neil likes to think he’s SUUUUCH a loner boy no friends angsty “dont speak to me” resting bitch face ass motherfucker. In reality he is a jack russell terrier — ceritifed jack russell owner who’s dog thinks hes soooo big and bad but said dog literally cries when you dont let him in the bed or say hi to people on the street

Jean is SOOOOOO dramatic 😭😭

Jean: Why would you let Kevin do this.

Neil: let him?? He did that on his own.

Jean: you’re proud of him for being a problem, arent you?

Neil: oh you fucking know I am, bitchass

“but other than his outstanding murder charge there was nothing interesting about that Fox.” i’d consider that very interesting information, Jean. Youre just deranged

“with milk, juice, and vodka dominating one shelf” that’s Aaron, Nicky, Andrew/Kevin in order. Im correct.

“There was an entire drawer dedicated to cheese.” Yeah that sounds like Nicky.

“Half the drawer was full of mini candy bars. Jean threw them all into the trash” bro Andrew is going to kill you in cold blood and not even Neil can save you.

Jean is SO dramatic. Give him Kevin’s crown.

Jean @ Neil during the final: ARE YOU WITHOUT INTELLIGENCE????? ARE YOU STUPID??? DO YOU WANT TO DIE??

Seeing the media coverage of the championship is the food I needed thank you Nora for this. I am eating it up. om nom nom

The sportscasters referring to athletes with their first name is batshit. What. why. huh. Absolutely not.

CHAPTER SIX:

Renee protecting Jean from discovering Riko’s death through media & not through them…

Everytime boys start fistfighting in this series I hear Roxanne from Megamind. “Ladies, ladies, you’re BOTH pretty.”

a) Jeans reaction to finding out was exaclty what I expected

b) I’m FASCINATED to know who called campus security. Jeremy?? Renee?? Someone in Fox tower???

Neil was gentle with someone other than Andrew? I didnt know he knew how to do that…

NEIL. NEIL JOSTEN. YEAH BABY

HES ROOMING WITH CAT AND LAILA??? YES YEA YES YESY

the Jean-Renee dynamic is so fucking important to me. MLM/WLW solidarity. theyre besties.

THEYRE SO IMPORTANT TO ME BRO.

Literally snuggling Jeremy

Oh he’s got Fox potential. Hiiii Jeremy. Give me the traumadump bbg

THEY/THEM??? DO MY EYES DECEIVE ME OR IS THIS AN HONEST TO GOD THEY/THEM PLAYER OH ILL CRY. ILL CRU RIGHT NOW

CHAPTER SEVEN:

Oh Jean. you’re about to have such a gay awakening babe i can feel it in my bones.

A FUCKING YOYO??? I LOVE HIM

“A mite bit hecked up” PLEEEASE JUST SAY FUCK /ref

OH HE WAS IN LOVE WITH KEVIN. INTERESTING INTERESTING INTERESTING.

autism coded lookingg motherfucker (stares at Jean.)

The chaos of Cat and Laila’s house is so fucking cute. Its about to be two lesbians and their distrustful pitbull rescue in this bitch and im ready for it.

CHAPTER EIGHT:

watching normal people discover the cult that is Evermore. Finally someone having a normal response to that madness. What the FUCK.

wait theres actually a cardboard dog i thought it was fanon joke.

oh my god there is actually a fucking cardboard dog. i.

jeans brain just got actually shattered by this living room. he cannot comprehend this.

Cat & Jeremy, realizing the cult rumors are real: I THOUGHT YOU WERE KIDDING! I thought it was joke! I even wrote it down in my diary! “Kevin made a very funny joke today!” I laughed at it later that night!

Okay, last night; I went to bed at 2:30 AM 45% through (college my beloathed). we’re back in business.

Jeremy is so disturbed all of the time. goofy ass.

“Loving something is not enough,”

“When was the last time you enjoyed playing?”

“ Irrelevant.”

Whats his shirt look like Jeremy. Jeremy whats the shirt look like. Jeremy. Whats the shirt look like.

Okay so I’ve reached my image limit for this post and I dont have fun reaction images on my laptop. so now I will post this & reblog with the rest of this book.

If i may, i'd also like to have more Smalls AU!! I love Janie and her love of Dadmack

WIP Wednesday - 10/18/23 (Closed) | Smalls AU

"So I'll be staying with the team therapist instead." Janie says and there is a spot of nervousness about the whole thing. She'd gotten used to Wymack and now she'd be under someone else's care and that someone else was a therapist.

A therapist who she needed to have continuing sessions with to lock-in her spot on the team.

She swallows nervously and Wymack reaches over and ruffles her hair. "Betsy doesn't bite. She's there to help make sure you get back to full health." he says without taking his eyes off of the road.

“Coach,” Neil starts, parsing the words in his head to digest them into something more believable. Fortunately, before Neil further makes himself sound insane in front of his father-in-law, the door to Coach Wymack’s office swings open, revealing Andrew with a small child tangled in his legs. Andrew is as blank-faced as always, but the child peers at the room warily, his eyes big and green. Even without words to introduce him, they all know who this is. Coach Wymack audibly sucks in a breath. Alternatively, when the adult Kevin Day regresses in time to his six-year-old self, the Palmetto State Foxes are forced into a state of disarray. It is as the saying goes: it takes a village to raise a child.

You can start a family who will always show you love

Kevin/Andrew/Neil. Rated G. 1.3k words.

It’s an ordinary Tuesday night when Kevin realizes he finally has a family.

He’s sat on the couch, Andrew’s head in his lap as he cards his fingers through blonde hair. Neil is sat on the floor, back against Kevin’s legs as the three of them watch the food network. It had become a routine for them, sitting together in the evenings to watch reality TV. Andrew liked shows about baking. Kevin had sheepishly admitted he liked singing competitions and Neil, unsurprisingly, didn’t care as long as Andrew and Kevin were content with what was on.

He’s not sure when it went from being a thing they did to a thing he looked forward to but over time Kevin found himself looking forward to their evening’s huddled together in the living-room. There was something deeply comforting about just existing with his boyfriend’s. No expectations or worrying about the mafia. No forced smiles for the camera or stressing about being the best. In their small living-room Kevin was simply Kevin and his boyfriends were just Andrew and Neil, the loves of his life who never expected anything from him. When their apartment was flushed in the blue light of the TV and the soft glow of side table lamps Kevin felt okay, like despite it all he could still have the life he had always dreamed of escaping to.

After many episodes of Master Chef Junior and a small argument over whether or not Andrew was taller than one of the fifth grade contestants the boys drifted to sleep, one by one. Kevin woke up to a calloused hand tracing his cheekbone, the touch so soft he was sure he had to have still been asleep. When he opened his eyes he was met with Andrew’s golden gaze, the faintest hint of a smile on the shorter man’s face.

“Happy Birthday Queenie.”

If the moment hadn’t been so unusually tender Kevin would have rolled his eyes at the nickname but it was unlike Andrew to be soft and the green eyed man wanted to soak in it as long as possible.

“Not my birthday Drew.” Andrew rolled his eyes, pointing behind him at the clock on the wall.

“It’s 2:48 so it is in fact your birthday, just say thank you or you won’t get your gift.” The blonde’s eyes flicked down to Kevin’s lips before meeting his gaze again.

Kevin leaned forward, closing the space between him and his boyfriend. “Is my gift a kiss?” There was a hint of teasing in Kevin’s tone.

Without warning Andrew pulled back, slowly getting off the couch and bending down to wake up Neil.

“Drew seriously, what are you up to?” Kevin asked but Andrew shushed him. Holding up a finger to signal for him to wait a minute. As Andrew slowly brought Neil back to consciousness Kevin reached for his phone and was surprised to see multiple missed messages, all from shortly after midnight.

Jeremy Knox

12:02am

Happy Birthday Kevin, I hope you have an amazing year. If anyone deserves it it’s you. Come visit soon, Jean keeps hinting that he misses you.

Jean Moreau

12:03am

Fucking Jeremy got to this before I did. Happy Birthday Kev, your feral boyfriends better treat you to something nice. And you better let them. It’s your turn to be celebrated. Not Kevin Day Exy star’s day. Not Kevin Day of the perfect court’s day. Your day. Kevin Day’s day. Come visit soon would you? Jeremy misses you.

Dadmack

12:07am

Kev, Happy Birthday. I’m sorry I wasn’t there to celebrate more of them. You and the heathens come by soon, I need to make sure you’re all still in one piece.

Abby Winfield

12:12am

Happy Birthday Kevin! Your dad and I are so proud of you and I hope you always remember that. Come over to the house for dinner soon, bring Andrew and Neil too.

PS: don’t tell him I told you but David stayed up specifically to send you that text. He misses you, we hope to see you soon.

Aaron Minyard

12:33am

Happy Birthday Kev, another year around the sun and you succeeded in being annoying through it all. Katelyn says Happy Birthday too by the way. Let’s get together soon to catch up, I’d go over but I refuse to spend more time with Josten than necessary, even if it is for you.

Tears welled in Kevin’s eyes as he read the messages. His hands shook as he put down his phone and made eye contact with a now mostly awake Neil.

“It’s your birthday and you can cry all you want to, I get that. But care to share babe? Why are you crying?” Neil’s words were teasing but there was a glint of worry in his eyes.

Kevin let out a sound that was a mixture of a laugh and a sob, causing his boyfriends to stand up and huddle over him. Both waiting for permission to touch. When Kevin nodded his head Andrew began petting his hair, Neil stood above them playing with the fingers on Kevin’s left hand.

“I-I’m not sad. I don’t think so anyways,” this earned him a confused look from Neil. “I’m happy Neil.”

“Oh.” Neil said, confused but relieved that his boyfriend wasn’t upset by something.

The green eyed man didn’t want to admit to a few birthday texts affecting him this much but deep down he knew it wasn’t just the texts.

It was everything hitting him all at once. The feeling of safety he felt during their nightly TV binge sessions. The warmth that spread through his chest as he watched Andrew make pancakes on a Sunday morning. The sound of Neil’s laugh as they go on their early morning runs together. The pride he feels when Andrew shuts down the goal and the way Neil’s body moves so naturally on the court. Jean and Jeremy’s undying support, the friendship they offer him so freely when he doesn’t feel even slightly worthy of it. Aaron and Katelyn who welcome him into their home at any time, no questions asked. His dads unwavering love and support, all the effort he puts in to make up for lost time. Abby’s motherly affection that he never knew he needed until he allowed it. Kevin had a family, a real family for the first time since his mother had died and it terrified him. But for every bit of fear he felt he also felt pride. Pride in the people he loved, his found family that proved time and time again that life is beautiful in ways Kevin never imagined could be real.

“Thank you both, for everything.”

Andrew just nodded, his hand still smoothing over Kevin’s hair. Neil let go of Kevin’s fingers and leaned in, meaning he wanted a kiss. The taller man met him halfway and he felt himself melt into the feeling of Neil’s rough lips against his own.

“I thought we agreed we wouldn’t kiss him until after we gave him his cake.” Andrew’s tone was flat and he glared up at Neil’s red face.

“Shit I forgot about the plan. Drew you ruined the surprise! Now he knows there’s a cake!”

Reaching up Kevin pulled a still shrieking Neil to his chest, reaching out for Andrew’s hand. With both his boyfriends beside him Kevin smiled, his whole body warm with love.

“Enough about the cake. If you both don’t kiss me I’m going to be crying for real soon.” This earned him a flick on the forehead from Andrew but the blonde quickly made up for it by pressing a kiss to the corner of Kevin’s mouth.

“Happy Birthday my greedy Queen. I hate you, y’know?”

Neil pressed a soft kiss to Kevin’s temple, leaning his forehead against the taller man’s head as he laughed.

“I know, I know. I hate you both too. Forever and always.”
