Summary

“Pardon?”
“I'm assuming I won't be playing,” he reiterated, “nearly as much as the rest of the team or not at all- and don’t try to tell me any different because I can tell from your lot,” Neil gestured to Ralph and the rest of them. “That you love to pick up lost causes. So, what do I get out of filling your line so you can throw balls to each other.”
"Oh~ I like this one." Andrew said. "Can we keep him, Coach?"

Summary
Andrew looked at the grainy photo of Neil Josten and thought brown, bland, boring and blegh. But that wasn’t the problem, the problem was the synthetic, manic smile on his face. “Experimental anti-psychotic drugs” it said glaringly in red. According to the court of law beating two full grown men to death, whilst trying to protect his mum, was deemed excessively violent. Andrew considered this to be pretty justified but that may just be his apathetic nature and lack of morals.
Or
Neil Josten killed Jackson Plank and Romeo Malcom when they tried to assault Mary. That day he also put Lola six feet under, but hey, no body, no crime right? Neil Josten a little more dangerous, a little more annoying and a whole lot more mouthy.-

Summary
Neil used to love driving. Then his mother taught him how to disappear, and reckless speed became a liability instead of a freedom. Since her death, Neil has been under the FBI's thumb as an informant in exchange for keeping him safe and out of his father's hands. That is, until they want to drop him right back behind the wheel and into the center of the California street racing scene.
When word is circulating that the Kevin Day has run from the Ravens' crew and has joined up with the ragtag Foxes, the FBI believes they've found their in to taking down the Moriyama empire behind the Ravens. Now it's Neil's job to infiltrate the Foxes, gain their trust and flip Kevin Day for the Bureau.
Unfortunately for him, the Foxes' resident Monster, Andrew Minyard, becomes the most unexpected and dangerous problem of all. He watches too closely, demands honesty Neil can’t give, and draws lines that make running harder than staying.
Caught between a violent criminal empire, a manipulative federal agency, and a crew that’s starting to feel like family, Neil has to decide who he’s willing to betray and whether survival is worth it if it costs him everything.

Summary
On the morning of the reaping, Neil Josten finds Katelyn before the square fills. He brings her home, lays out her clothes, braids her hair, and tucks in her shirt like he’s done a hundred times before. He tells her she’s beautiful. He tells her she has nothing to worry about. Neil believes it. Katelyn does too.
The odds are never in their favour.
But Neil, the Martyr, won’t let anyone he cares about end up in the clutches of the arena.—
Andrew Minyard has never belonged to anyone, and he does not start on reaping day.
When his name is drawn, Andrew refuses the Capitol’s narrative of sacrifice and heroism. He grips Aaron’s arm hard enough to keep him silent, makes the choice before anyone else can, and steps forward without giving the cameras anything to hold onto. Andrew has never believed in sacrifice as something noble; he believes in control, in refusal, in deciding the terms even when there are none left.—OR—
An AFTG Hunger Games AU where Neil is still a Martyr and Andrew a protector. They’re to be District 12’s tributes for the 74th Annual Hunger Games.

When There’s Nowhere Else To Run, Is There Room For One More? by P234age

Summary
“It’s a little difficult to think clearly with a knife pressed to his jugular, but Neil manages to wonder if he should’ve let the FBI send him to jail instead of here.
It makes sense, unfortunately, that after finding Neil bruised, burnt, and bleeding out on the cold cement floor of his father’s basement, Special Agent Todd Browning might have had some concerns for Neil’s health.
Neil just didn’t expect that concern to include his mental health, too.
Browning had offered Neil a choice that day - after listing out, like, fifty reasons why he thought Neil might benefit from some therapy.
Life in prison or a sixty day stay in a psych ward, followed by freedom.
Neil thought the answer was obvious, but his new roommate still hasn’t removed his blade from Neil’s throat - which Neil is now realizing isn’t actually a knife, but a razor blade taped to the butt of a toothbrush - so he’s rethinking that answer a bit.”
