Better ~Jean x Reader AU~

Bonus: Fun Facts!

**Bello my wonderful lovelies! So, since I did this at the end of my Levi x Reader project, I figured I'd do it again. In fact, I might do 'Fun Facts' at the very end of each project! I just find it fun and a good way to say goodbye to each project. With that said, enjoy these fun facts (and questions asked by some readers)!**

First thing's first, I'm going to answer a few questions asked by the wonderful Petlover1116. If ya want, feel free to check out their work. I'm obsessed with their story Decisions. I love the characters and seeing their interactions. My favorite character currently is Zander. He's my favorite little strawberry. <3

1.) Q: Did you already write out the main idea of the story before writing? A: Kinda. When I got inspired to create this project, all I knew was that I wanted Jean to be Y/N's sense of safety and what a home should be like. That was honestly all I had figured out, so that became my main idea.

2.) Q: How much time does it take you to make one chapter? A: For fanfics in general (including this project), chapters vary. On good days, I can crank out two (sometimes three) chapters in six to eight hours. Though, usually just one in about six hours. On bad days, I'm lucky if I can type one chapter within eight hours. If it's a really, really bad day, a chapter can take up to two to three days to finish. It just depends, really.

3.) Q: How did you come up with the plot of your story? A: This process applies to all my fanfics. What I do is I take a moment and evaluate the character I want to base the story around. From there, I mold the main idea. In this one, I looked at Jean. I know that Jean is a passionate fellow who can be quite the hothead, so I wanted a story that could both dim and focus on those aspects. Thus, making him Y/N's security...and the person who drove her insane at times. That said, other aspects of the story manifested during typing. After those appeared, I would develop the story even more. That was how Alexandra, Kellen, and Professor Wells came into fruition.

4.) Q: Do you plan on making a new series once the Jean x Reader is over? A: Heck yeah! I'm taking a short break to post a short behind the scene book, but after that, I will return with a new fanfic (more details for both at the very end of this part). I know I told another reader I'd do a Death Note fanfic, but I need to do more story development for that first, so I'll be posting a Yato x Reader piece. I've had this story developed for over a year now, so I figured it'll be the next project. That said, I'm not 100% sure if it'll be another trilogy or if it'll be a duology or maybe even just a single.

Thank you for all the awesome questions, Pet! They were great! You're a doll! <3

The next two questions are asked by the awesome lightningarcher123. Totally feel free to check them out! I'm currently reading their Stoked: Surf's Up book. It's so cute with funny interactions between Sage and some of the other characters, though I am no fan of Devon's. Devon is not my favorite person. Devon bad *hisses*. Great story, though.

5.) Q: What tattoos does Jean have? A: Okay, so in my head, I have quite the tattoo arrangement thought up for Jean that might not have been considered. Firstly, I could see him displaying some sort of flower tattoo in honor of his mother on his chest. On his shoulder, I see a tiger that reminds him to be brave. On his wrist, there's the Wings of Freedom, though they would represent freedom from expectation in this AU. There's a dreamcatcher on his shoulder blade that serves two purposes; to remind him to go after his dreams and to take his nightmares away. A collection of shapes all connected by a line to create a circle representing family on his foot. More flowers on his ribs; in pain there is beauty. The word "LOVE" on his knuckles reminding him that he should practice love, not hate. Song lyrics on the side of his neck because it's his favorite song and it impacts him. A traditional sword piece on his shin just because he liked it and it was his first piece. Snake on his ankle because he wanted to look like a badass (lol). And, last but not least, Nala on his other shin, because she taught him how to achieve that gentleness Y/N, adores so much. As a married man, he has his twins' names over his heart because those are his kiddos. I know most people probably expected all badass tattoos on him, but I wanted to show a softer side of him. Keep in mind some of the pieces would be larger than others and take up quite a bit of space. :)
