    Summary

    Neil’s breath is hot and awful against Andrew’s thigh. “I can’t be sick on your birthday,” he says, like it’s that simple. “I can’t be sick on you on your birthday.”

    “How considerate,” Andrew’s voice is a bland murmur, and he is left watching Neil’s bloodless, wet lips, as he curls into Andrew’s lap.

    Neil gently pulls away after a moment, leaning back into Andrew’s hand on his neck. “Is me being sick still making you anxious?” he asks. Fever-stricken with dizzied-eyes and delirious thoughts, he knows Andrew without more than a moment beside him, a look into his eyes that makes Andrew feel undone, found.

    Or Neil is sick and Andrew isn’t coping well.

    Summary

    At Thanksgiving dinner, Neil gets to Andrew faster. The result isn't any better. Neil is still a martyr, and Andrew struggles like never before to insist that he feels nothing.

    Because there was someone waiting for Andrew upstairs, and they got Neil instead.

    [Authors note: Sorry guys I'm re-writing this fic as of 2025 I have improved so much as a writer I simply have to do it (and for continuity reasons so I can keep proper notes this time). Later chapters I'll likely make more mild revisions to.]

    Summary

    "Agh." Neil hissed in pain as he continued to walk along the side of the deserted highway. Walking was probably a generous term for the strange limping hobble he was doing, but given the current condition of his leg, it was the best he could do. He needed to get as far away from Jackson and Romero as he could before anyone else came looking and found what he left of them.

    It was then when a semi pulled up beside Neil, the person inside pushing open the passenger door, smiling kindly, if not slightly awkwardly, and asking, "need a ride?"

    Neil blinked up at the person, before responding in a choked voice, “Yeah, where are you headed?”

    “Colombia, South Carolina.”

     

    After fleeing from Millport early, due to suspicions raised about his living situation, Neil goes on the run again. When misplaced trust leaves him injured and with nothing to his name, Neil ends up in Columbia, South Carolina, where he meets a certain short blond with an affinity for knives and a few foxes who may just be willing to help him out.

    Summary

    Really, he only meant to come over here to go under the bridge to take shelter from the snow but now he found himself leaning over the railing looking down at the mesmerizing frozen river far below.

    Or

    Neil is tired and just wants to be done. Andrew offers him an alternative.

    Summary

    Andrew has a stable life. He has a stable job, people who he doesn’t hate talking to, a cat who likes him, and a house with a door that locks. He’s fine.

    But that’s the problem. He’s just fine. No more, no less. Some days, he forgets that behind the picket fences and pristine gardens are people just as messed up as him, and it feels like he’s alone in Palmetto.

    Until he’s sitting at a PTA meeting, bored out of his mind, waiting to drive Renee home, when this guy steps up to the mic. And a lot changes.
