Chapter Text
Fixing and repairing—two words that feel similar, but never quite the same. Without context, they blur together. But repairing…well that’s restoration. Returning something to what once was.
Fixing, though, that’s….different. It’s change. It’s shaping something into what is to what it needs to be.
Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.
Perfectionism. A case that never sat right with me.
Because perfection… it steals something. Not excellence—never that—but the quiet joy of fulfillment.
I’m not saying I fall short. I’ve just had time to think.
Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.
When all the puzzle pieces finally click into place, you’re supposed to see the big picture, feel whole. Complete. Like the picture in front of you is exactly what it should be.
So why… why does it feel like I’ve built the wrong puzzle?
More importantly why do I want to ruin it…
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
Sigh. Back to the present, inner monologues were never really my thing.
Wouldn’t be Landon King if they were.
What a shame.

Hey guys, this is going to be a jerlan story, keep in mind English is NOT my first language 🙏🏻. And I kinda suck at writing? Anywho this probably gone be a long book-kinda slow burn, first time writing a book. English is NOT my first language. Hmmm, I haven’t read either of their books so google gonna help me freestyle fr. Also this is gonna be super dramatic, like hella dramatic. This takes place after both characters are “in love” with their significant others aka the original rina Kent books. Think of this as a book 2, the jerlan we never got 🌚. Tbh I’m lowk writing this for my benefit because I’m mourning what could’ve been 💔

Right just finished reading Hunt The Villain, and I wanna say I basically cried. Yes I cried. fAHHH. okay basically I need like 1250 something to publish so okay I guess.
Btw on that note, if anyone wants to give help me learn the lore of Landon and Jeremy’s books, I'd be more than happy to give you my insta. It would be GREATLY appreciated. I’m tryna connect the stories so I can make it somewhat cannon, so I can just pretend this is what happens after-an addition to the Rina Kent universe heh.
I’m so motivated, I watched like 100 tiktoks to help with that because yes, the thought of no jerlan is depressing 💔
Also just saying there’s gonna be a lot of humor, smut, angst, slow burn, and other things I might’ve forgotten to add. RIGHT WELL ENJOY GUYS!
