Summary
Neil Josten was never good at staying still. It had been ingrained in him from the moment his mother took him and ran.
The night his father's people had caught up to them again for the last time, his mother was too busy bleeding out and forcing him to repeat her rules of survival to warn him of the potential consequences of the horrific act he had undergone only hours prior. So he burned the feeling of rough hands and torn clothes alongside his mother and their most recent identites, and continued on as his mother had instructed him to. It wasn't until several months later he had realized the one downside of running from his past-sometimes it punishes your ignorance.
Now three years later in Millport with his little girl in one arm and an offer to join the Palmetto Foxes in the palm of his hand, Neil must decide if slowing down to give Sophie the life she deserves is worth the risk of being discovered by his father.
Is truly living for a few months enough of a reason to tempt fate?

Summary
In 1998, Mary and Nathaniel Wesninski disappeared from their home without a trace. Not one the police could sniff out, anyway. Mary's alpha was a different beast all together; a beast they called the Butcher.
Mary spent the rest of her days teaching her son how to run, how to hide, and how to be anyone but himself. And when he presented at thirteen, she taught him how to suppress his omega instincts too. But, in the end, none of her tricks had been enough to keep the Butcher off her trail.
In 2005, a son buried his mother and kept moving like she had made him promise to do. She had taught him everything she knew, but now that he was seventeen and alone, one question remained: Would it be enough to keep him alive when it hadn't saved her, or would Neil Josten have to break his promises to avoid meeting the same fate?

Summary
Mary Keyleigh Wesninski, formerly known as Mary Keyleigh Day, had another son before marrying Nathan Wesninski. But when she took Nathaniel and ran away, Kevin stayed in the Nest with no hopes of ever seeing his brother again.
Neil Josten is taking a huge risk by joining the Foxes team. He wants to play Exy and he desperately wants to be close to his brother again, but under no circumstances can he let Kevin recognize him.
But Kevin is not the only person who knew him back when he was Nathaniel Wesninski and the risk he took by letting Riko see him again might be far greater than he thought.

Summary
He could feel the distasteful glances from the others as the smell of the cigarette filtered around them but he didn't care, he was more concerned about what condition Josten would be in if the Raven incident was tame compared to what his father would do.
Kevin, Kevin, Kevin, always keeping his mouth shut when it matters most, he knew where Neil was and didn't exactly offer the information up until Andrew choked it out of him. Literally.

Neil didn't make it out of Baltimore. Andrew didn't make it to the end of the year.

Summary
Neil really thought that his problems were over, now that his father was dead and most of his people captured. MOST is the key word.
Minutes before a match with the USC he gets shot. He really doesn't want to ruin it for everyone though, so he thinks, hey, why not play with a bullet in my stomach.
It does not go as well as expected.

Summary
When Andrew and Neil begin hooking up, their relationship is based on a single, murky agreement; they don't objectify or use one another, but there are to be no real feelings involved, either. It works. At least, until Neil develops feelings too strong for his own good.

Summary
Andrew Minyard is now 20, and it’s been five years since he last heard of Neil Josten—if he was ever real to begin with.
Maybe Neil was just an illusion, a side effect of a fractured mind, something that lived in the space between nightmares and silence. All that’s left is a diary with a name and a memory too blurred to hold onto.
Then Kevin says Neil is coming back.
And in an instant, Andrew's carefully constructed world begins to collapse.-

Summary
Nathaniel Wessinksi can't go back to the Nest.
But he can't stay with the foxes either.With Riko trying to get Neil back to the Ravens, and back under his thumb, Neil is left with three options. Going back to the Ravens and dying, staying with the Foxes and dying- or running far, far away.
But Andrew had promised Kevin and Jean to protect him. Annoyingly, Neil- the kleiner Hase- is making it increasingly more and more difficult with each passing hour.
TLDR: Neil makes a promise to Ichirou that Kevin, Jean, and himself are better investments if they play with the Foxes than with the Ravens. But with time running out and Andrew stopping every one of his escape plans, Neil has until the end of the championships to convince himself and Ichirou he's better off alive.
DISCLAIMER: this fic is very heavily influenced by Die Free or Die a Failure by Mickey_99 (if you haven't read this fic, it's amazing!) and The Sunshine Court (where Raven Neil goes through the same healing process as Jean.)
TW: will be mentioned at the start of each chapter, but this is a very trigger heavy fic, please don't read if this you're not in a good place to do so!
Enjoy :)

Summary
He saw the duffel.
It was battered all to hell and the strap was nearly torn from the bag, but it still glowed almost neon in the darkening night and streetlamp glare. Neil would never…
He dropped to his knees beside it and rifled through it, looking for any sign, any clue as to where Neil might have run. Nothing, nothing, nothing. Until his fingers found the keyring. Until he found the phone.Andrew's perspective on the Binghamton riot and the walking tragedy that is Neil Josten.

Summary
If Riko Moriyama is Exy's number 1, Kevin Day is number 2.
But, if Riko Moriyama is King of Exy, Andrew Minyard is the opposing pawn who’s crossed the board to become Queen.
Andrew has spent far too long denying Riko what he wants and Riko has spent far too long fantasising about the day Andrew finally breaks to leave things as they are. And if you want a job done right, you really do have to do it yourself it seems. So RIko invites Andrew to Evermore for the holidays.

Summary
Of all the night’s events, there were only three things that Nathaniel really remembered clearly: the moments before the riots, being questioned by Lola in the car, and watching his father walk down the stairs to the basement. The last thing Nathaniel could remember was the way the light caught the blade of his father’s axe, blinding and terrifying as it was raised towards the ceiling. He couldn’t remember it coming down but it had to one way or another, right?

Summary
On a hunch, Andrew feels Neil’s forehead with the back of his hand. “You’re sick.”
“I’m fine. Leave me alone.” Neil closes his eyes again, pulling the comforter over his head.
Andrew pulls it back down. “You have a fever.”
“It’s a cold.” Neil sits up slowly, painstakingly. “I just need some Tylenol and I’ll be good to go.”
(Spoiler alert: Neil is not fine.)

Summary
Neil has his eyes clenched tightly shut, his entire face screwed up, every muscle in his body tense and taught with a herculean effort to stop shaking. He was shaking when he woke up, he was shaking when he stumbled his way out of bed into the bathroom, but he swears he almost shook all the way apart when he caught his own reflection in the mirror.
Dead eyes stared back at him.
or:
Neil has a nightmare and, despite his best efforts to handle it on his own, Andrew is there.
