Rating: NSFW

Status: Finished

Summary: Inviting Jean into their sex life had possibly been the best idea Reiner had ever had. Bertholdt was absolutely sure of that, as he watched Jean throw his head back in pleasure in front of him.

Status: Ongoing

Summary: Hindsight was always 20/20. Without exceptions, it seemed. Reiner was reminded of that the hard way the moment he stepped through the door. His mother had been on him instantly and while he enjoyed the tight embrace, the barrage of words that followed he probably could have done without.

Ship: Sailing the proud M/S Reijean with a spice of Bertholdt

Status: ongoing

Warnings: roofies, rape, Reiner getting the worst end of the stick. Mind the tags, warnings, and notes on the chapter

Summery, story: A slight miscommunication leaves Reiner very single. Little does he know that his exes meet and fall in love while he suffers the consequences of his mistakes. Will there be a happy ending for Reiner?

Summary, chapter: Reiner and Jean talks it out, but is Reiner ready to let go?

Do they both gang up on Reiner to yell at him when he’s being a reckless idiot? Does Jean encourage Bertholdt to be more assertive? Does Bertholdt in turn encourage Jean to be less… himself? 🤭

Hello!! Apologies for the delay.

Bertholdt is definitely the calm one (too calm at times). Jean goes from zero to hysteria in under ten seconds, Reiner simmers with rage and Bertholdt just looks nervous. He rarely gets angry per se, he usually turns sad if things get out of hand. Jean is always on his ass, trying to persuade him to become more assertive and outspoken, possibly even succeeding a little in the end (because, as we know, he’s very stubborn). 

As for Jean and Bert bonding, I think Jean feels comfortable being silent around Bertholdt. Sometimes they just sit outside, watching the clouds, or go for a walk in the forest. Bert seems like someone who appreciates the little things and doesn’t like to rush; he’d rather stop and admire the view before him than push forward.

Which brings me to the idea from Junior High where Bert is good with certain arts and crafts – I feel like he would be supportive of Jean’s potential artistic endeavors (Reiner becomes jealous of their connection, but come on, he’s never left out, he just can’t draw for shit). I don’t think Bertholdt tries to encourage Jean to change his ways of being, but, ironically, being around Bert has a calming effect on Jean.

They definitely gang up on Reiner when he's being a reckless idiot.
