Aaron desperately needs to prove to his employees that he isn’t homophobic, and that he can survive an entire night of shameless flirting with another man. Just to be safe, though, he sends Andrew in his place.
Neil agrees to go on the date and put on his best performance to expose some asshole as a homophobe—if it means getting the Lana Del Rey concert tickets Allison is holding hostage.

Summary
Neil leaned forward, lowering his voice this time. "I think I'm homophobic."
"Yeah, buddy, I heard you. Me and the rest of campus." Matt was smiling at him like usual, but this time it was more reluctant. "Do you want to expand on that?"
"No."
--
After walking in on his roommate, Andrew Minyard, kissing a guy, Neil is convinced that he must be homophobic.
He doesn't even stop to consider that perhaps he is instead jealous, and also a massive idiot.

Summary
It's the summer after graduation and Andrew's life is on the cusp of falling apart. Aaron is going to college in the fall, Nicky is heading back to the life he left in Germany, and Andrew has to face the fact that he has once again found himself the one being left behind.
It's their last summer together and Andrew has plans to spend it isolated and alone.
His plans change when Andrew rescues a runaway named Neil from being mugged behind Eden's Twilight and their fast, unconventional friendship swiftly turns into something more, especially for Andrew.
As summer winds to a close, Andrew's time to fix his family before they inevitably part ways for good is quickly running out and- unknown to him- so is his time with Neil.

Abram, My Dear (I’ll Find You) by foxxypilotpaladin
Fandoms: All For The Game - Nora Sakavic
19 Jun 2025

Summary
Neil has always been good at following instructions. Speak when spoken to. Move when told. Look into the camera. Smile. Beg. He learned young that obedience meant survival. That the right words in the right tone could mean food, warmth, another day alive.
But the cameras are gone now. The doors still lock, the ghosts still whisper, and Neil is still performing—just in a different way. A patient instead of a product.
Then there’s Andrew. A locked room with no key. A sharp thing dulled by medication. A boy with too many secrets and too little interest in anything beyond his own survival. He watches Neil like he’s a puzzle not worth solving, but when Neil starts slipping, it’s Andrew who keeps pulling him back.
Neil doesn’t believe in fate. But the past has teeth, and it never lets go. And the more Neil fights it, the more he realizes—his story and Andrew’s may have already crossed long before this place. Secrets don’t stay buried forever. Not when they were built on blood

Двигайся, когда тебе говорят. Смотри в камеру. Улыбайся. Умоляй. Он ещё в детстве усвоил, что послушание – залог выживания. Что правильные слова, произнесённые в правильном тоне, могут дать еду, тепло и ещё один день жизни.
Но камер больше нет. Двери всё ещё заперты, призраки всё ещё шепчут, а Нил всё ещё выступает – просто по-другому. Пациент, а не продукт.
А потом Эндрю. Запертая комната без ключа. Острота, притуплённая лекарствами. Мальчик со слишком большим количеством секретов и малым интересом ко всему, кроме собственного выживания. Он смотрит на Нила, словно на головоломку, которую не стоит разгадывать, но когда Нил начинает спотыкаться, именно Эндрю продолжает тянуть его назад.
Нил не верит в судьбу. Но у прошлого есть зубы, и оно никогда не отпускает. И чем больше Нил борется с ним, тем больше понимает – его история и история Эндрю, возможно, уже пересеклись задолго до этого места. Секреты не остаются погребёнными навсегда. Не тогда, когда они были построены на крови

Summary
Neil had a lot of secrets. He didn’t want much in life except to live quietly, run his botanical store, upload TikToks covering plant care, and for not a single person to find out that he’s the best-selling author N.A.J who published one book anonymously five years prior and disappeared. His life takes a turn when his literary agent tracks him down for a follow-up book with the theme of feeling settled and at peace. Two things Neil is not.
Thus begins his journey of planting roots in a town he’s lived in for years, starting with making friends with people who have tried to bring him into their circle. As Neil gets closer to them and his secrets become less guarded, there’s still that one big secret he intends on taking to his grave. But the closer he gets to his friends the closer he unknowingly gets to that secret being revealed.

Summary
His mind began to wander, conjuring images of Andrew’s lips against his, the black spikes adorning his bottom lip poking ever so slightly into the soft meat of Neil’s mouth. Would it hurt, he wondered? Would he be able to feel the sting? Or would it get swallowed by the plush swell of Andrew’s lips, the gentle glide of his tongue against Neil’s?
Neil meets a handsome stranger outside the club and discovers a newfound curiosity for piercings. He just wants a taste, but in the end, he may get more than he bargained for.

Summary
„Darling?“ Andrew calls, still out of sight, and that gets Neil’s attention. Except for some very rare, very soft moments Andrew only uses pet names to be sarcastic.
„Yes love?“ Neil retaliates in the same, slightly mocking tone. Andrew comes into sight, with an unusual mischievous glint in his eyes. „How much do you think you can horrify a whole bunch of conservative homophobes?“
or: What is a professional actor as a fiancé good for, if you can't terrorize your distant (and close) relatives with him?

Summary
Neil Josten had known Andrew Minyard for approximately two minutes and thirty seven seconds, and he already knew he’d hate him for the rest of his life. Andrew, for his part, seemed to have hated Neil before they even met, so Neil felt he was justified. He gave a wistful goodbye to his resolution not to make any enemies in his new life. He’d lasted, what, five hours? Not bad, considering his track record.

Summary
Online, Neil is Abram, writing fanfic about a queer couple on the hit sci-fi show Slingshot Odyssey and sending endless messages to his one fandom friend, an artist named Drew. But in South Carolina, he’s an antisocial college student tired of the endless slog of people overly invested in who he used to be.
It doesn’t help that Neil’s Observational Astronomy lab partner, Andrew, says all the right things to get under his skin, but Neil can’t stop himself from answering Andrew’s questions or from having his own.
With nights that go from talking on the roof Andrew with just the stars and each other as company, to sending freshly written fics to Drew, maybe it’s time for Neil to boldly go where no man has gone before and embrace these feelings that feel as miraculous as the formation of the universe itself.
aka andrew and neil are sci-fi nerds and they find each other twice :)

Summary
“Andrew,” Neil says, with the brittle calm of someone standing in the eye of a storm. “You do realize this is stupid. Dick size has literally zero correlation with how long it takes to…” He grimaces. Struggles. Then bites out, at last, “Climax.”
“Prove it, then,” Andrew says, smirking lazily. “Come faster than me.”
OR Andrew gets high and forms a theory about big dicks. Naturally, he has to involve his roommate in the research.

5 Facts About Rising Star Neil Josten, Lead in Newest Reynolds Film
1. Neil starred in his first commercial when he was just six years old–remember a kid with bright blue eyes and a milkstache? Yeah, that was him.
2. He graduated early with honours and received scholarships for 4 of the top schools in the country before ultimately deciding on Columbia University. Intelligence is so hot.
3. Neil is to be up for his first Academy Award just three years into his career as a full-time actor. Talent or prodigy? Either way, we will be sat!
4. He’s a polyglot! Neil says his family has ties all over the world, which means he learned multiple languages at a young age. He’s fluent in English, Dakhóta, French, German and is currently teaching himself Spanish. Siri, how do you say “he’s too good to be true” in French?
5. Rumour has it he and infamous actor Andrew Minyard do not get on, yet staff on-set have said the two can’t help but pick on each other. Frenemies? Bromance? We’re dying to know.

Summary
“Don’t say no-”
“No.”
“Andrew-” Aaron shakes the paper a little in frustration before composing himself. “It’s a quiz bowl. Basic trivia. It runs for five consecutive weekends and there’s a prize at the end. I need you and your sponge brain to help me win.”
His brother has asked him for many things since Bee had pulled Andrew aside to tell him he had a doppelganger wandering around San Jose, California causing trouble but this might be the dumbest thing Aaron has ever asked him to do.
----
When Andrew Minyard's twin brother signs them both up to participate in the strangest trivia competition known to man, Andrew agrees to participate under the stipulation that he is the sole recipient of this year's grand prize: three hundred and sixty-five days worth of free ice cream from Sweetie's. Instead, Andrew discovers a connection of his own with fellow loner and competition participant, Neil Josten.
