i called your name ‘til the fever broke by cyanica

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.

Summary
He pressed a shaking hand to the boiling hot blood drenching his clothes. He was shivering so bad his teeth clacked. Threadbare pants, layers upon thin layers, and sockless feet tucked into shoes with holes did nothing to stop the crispy cold from biting into him.
There was no thread left, but he still had a needle and tooth floss. The problem was, he was already dizzy, if he stopped now in the snow between some white suburban houses, he knew he might succumb to the cold and die of hypothermia. Some poor kid would come outside to check the Christmas snow and see a homeless teen who had bled out overnight.
...
In which Neil and Andrew are each other's sworn Guardian Angels, and they need one another at their lowest moment.

Summary
For most people, a problem is a matter or situation regarded as unwelcome or harmful that needs to be dealt with or overcome.
For Andrew Minyard, it’s the word that fits Neil Josten with a capital P.

Summary
“What can I give you that will make you help me find Neil?”
Kevin frowns, stands up. “You know he’s on the Black Pearl, right?”
Andrew did not know that. “I don’t care,” he says.
“You know,” Kevin says at Nicky’s questioning noise. “The Black Pearl. Black sails, appears only at night. Haunted and crewed by the damned.”
Andrew tries to convey exactly how many shits he gives about the bedtime stories of the Black Pearl through the look he gives Kevin: exactly zero.
(Or, the Pirates of the Caribbean AU that absolutely no one asked for, in which Kevin is morally grey but terribly colorful in every other aspect, Neil gets kidnapped far too many times, and Andrew just wants to live out his life in peace, making swords and kissing Neil.)

“s’nothing” Neil slurred.
“Isn’t it?” Andrew challenged.
“I’ve endured far worse than a bruise in m’stomach” Neil said gesturing to the array of scars that littered his skin.

Summary
Neil Josten goes to the Nest for Andrew, but he stays for a lot more.
~
"I'm sorry Coach," he muttered.
"For what kid?" Wymack shifted. "You've got to give me something to work with here."
Wymack watched the thin traces of sorrow as paper exchanged hands and he was looking down at a contract with the Edgar Allan Raven's.
"I signed them Coach, I'm sorry."

Summary
"I'm not a hallucination."
The warmth of Neil supported that. So Andrew said the next most reasonable thing, "You're a pipe dream." An awful fantasy Andrew dreamed up through all the stupid misery in his life. He didn’t want to believe in the reality of him. Not when he was beautiful and close, trying to make Andrew believe that he was worth something.

Summary
There’s a new god in the pantheon; Andrew remembers hearing about the scandal a while back, the newest Demeter having a child with the current Zeus and then going on the run, child in tow. They call him Persephone, the god of springtime and new life, the antithesis of Andrew's realm. It would be ludicrous of Persephone to ever interact with Andrew at all.
If only someone told Persephone that.
--
“Hades, right?” Persephone asks.
“Andrew,” Andrew responds, and Persephone hums.
“Nice to meet you, Andrew. I’m Neil,” Neil responds. Andrew cuts a look sideways to see Neil watching him, something assessing in his gaze. Andrew nods in response. “I have to say, you’re not nearly as scary as everyone says you are,” Neil continues.
“You barely know me. Give it time,” Andrew says, because the rumors don’t exaggerate. People fear him for good reason.
“I’d like to, I think,” Neil says. Andrew quirks an eyebrow at him. “Know you,” Neil clarifies. Before Andrew can think of a response, Neil’s head turns. “I have to go. Zeus called for me, and he’ll notice if I’m missing. Thanks for the cigarette.”
