    Summary

    “Neil died in Baltimore” Andrew and “The Moriyamas killed Andrew as a warning” Neil meet seven years after Neil was taken in Baltimore.

    ~~

    It's been seven years since the Moriyamas killed Andrew and Neil slipped their leash for Japan. He's spent the time since dismantling their empire as retribution for Andrew's death. Now, more Nathaniel than Neil, he returns to South Carolina looking for something to live for.

    After Neil died in Baltimore, Andrew let his apathy take over - if feeling meant an endless pit of grief, he didn't want it. After Ichirou dies and the Moriyamas fall, he wonders if anyone would notice if he dissapeared.

    Summary

    Pro Exy player Andrew is forced to retire early after an injury on court. Kevin's got his recovery all planned out: rather than stay in New York, they will both spend some time in their old hometown, closer to Aaron, Aaron's kids, and Kevin's family. All they need is someone to cook for Andrew until he's back on his feet, and an instruction manual on how to navigate old and new relationships and emotions they'd long left on the doorsteps of their childhood homes.

    Summary

    “Shit,” Neil gasps as Andrew kisses against his collarbone, licks a stripe up the side of his neck, before pressing one last kiss against his mouth. “Well, this is already very different from my past experiences.”

    Neil is nearly breathless. Andrew mentally pats himself on the back. Take that, Brandon.

    “So, he kissed you,” Andrew says. He means to sound authoritative, self-sure, but it’s lost somewhere in the rawness of his throat. “What else.”

    *

    Neil going on dates isn’t necessarily a new occurrence anymore, but Neil kissing Andrew is.

    Summary

    One year after he should have started at Palmetto, after he should have accepted Wymack’s offer and continued playing exy, Neil Josten instead finds himself working at a roadside gas station seventy miles outside Columbia. This Neil, never met Wymack or Kevin or Andrew after the dingos practice. This Neil never even made it to March in Millport, and now in the fall of 2007 he’s seriously starting to question how he’s going to live out the rest of his life.

    When a certain blonde buying absurd amounts of candy begins to frequent the gas station, Neil wonders if he might have an answer to that question.

    “You play?” The man nodded at the TV.

    “No sir.” Neil would give anything for him to leave. He pushed the bag of drinks a little further across the counter, eyes flitting to the TV again.

    “Ah, but you want to, huh? You look like you wanna climb inside that TV and join em.”

    Neil blinked at the man, unable to form a proper answer. Did he really look so desperate?

    “I don’t know.” It was a stupid answer, and it took him too long to get the words out, but it wasn’t like this conversation mattered much anyway. “I think I’m just not meant to.”

    Summary

    Neil was just trying to leave the hotel he'd holed himself up in after being released from WITSEC two weeks ago.

    Simple, right?

    And while he did succeed in leaving the building, he also managed to get stuck in an elevator with the entire Palmetto State exy team, perform emergency triage on half of them, parkour a little, and possibly learned what it means to be free.

    Featuring: Chaotic Foxes, Neil being the only competent person in the room, concerning head wounds, and even more concerning blondes who won't stop staring while Neil tries his best not to die in this elevator.

    Summary

    It's all Aaron's fault.

    Really, it is.

    He threw away Andrew's ice cream, and left him with no other choice but to walk to the sketchy gas station in the middle of the night. No other choice.

    Maybe Andrew should send him a thank you card.

    OR

    Neil works at a gas station that isn't quite a gas station, and Andrew can't stop coming back for more.

    Summary

    Neil was not used to being in a position where he had to say goodbye.

    Not goodbye as in thank you, you were amazing but just a normal, regular I’ll see you soon.

    Andrew watched him, his expression mildly unimpressed, and Neil resisted the urge to pick at the scars on his arms.

    --------------

    Andrew is going on a trip, Neil insists he'll be fine, Neil is a hot mess. Short little one shot idea I had, mostly because I love writing feral Neil trying to be "normal"

    Summary

    Kiyoomi closes his eyes, slowly. He prays that the ground opens up and swallows him whole. He prays that a whole earthquake rocks Tokyo and brings the place down on him, specifically. He prays that some higher power decides to strike him with lightning right this minute.

    “Actually,” he says, grinding it out through clenched teeth, “you haven’t seen any other kids around, have you?”

    It's Kiyoomi's last resort to ask a stranger for help finding his sister's missing kids, but it's not like this night can get any weirder, and Miya Atsumu's kind of hot.

    Summary

    Their towels are already spread on the sand, bags and shoes placed at the corners to keep them from blowing away. Neil is sitting with his knee pulled close to his chest, staring out at the water, seemingly fine, but Andrew knows better. He always does. Neil wouldn’t have even noticed anything was wrong, if Andrew didn't suddenly press his palm against the back of his neck.

    “Your mother is dead,” Andrew says, detached and even. “But you are alive.”

    Neil and Andrew take a needed trip away to the coastline. The soft sand and salty air stir up more memories than either of them hoped it would.

    Summary

    “You said it’s shit.” 

    “I did.” Andrew agrees.

    “You said it isn’t a permanent fix.” 

    “It’s not.” 

    Andrew reaches through the window, plucks the tree shaped air freshener off the rearview mirror, holds it to his nose. Neil waits, knows that it lost its scent months ago. He isn’t sure why he’s held on to it, just knows he likes the look of it dangling while he drives. It’s another identifiable feature to his car, another way to know Neil Josten drove this Subaru. 

    His mother would have hit him before throwing it away.

    Andrew places the scentless piece of cardboard back in its spot with a delicacy that indicates understanding. A gentleness that makes Neil wonder if Andrew Minyard, with his family and his fancy sports car and his leather jacket, is also learning how to be a real person. 

    “I can fix it.” Andrew says, and for the first time since he came upon Neil and his unresponsive engine, he looks away. 

    “You can fix it,” Neil echoes, a question and a statement in one. 

    “Yes.” Andrew replies.

    Neil’s car breaks down. Cue the cute blonde with a knowledge of cars, a cool leather jacket, and a long term crush on the helpless redhead.

    Summary

    "Is this your fucking date spot?" Allison asks, the joy like water spilling from a damn, a cackle woven between syllables.

    "It's a Chili's," Neil deadpans.

    "Holy shit, it is. You guys were totally holding out on us."

    "Wonder why."

    The Foxes decide to eat at an off-campus restaurant. Andrew and Neil are already quite familiar with it.

    Summary

    It doesn't make sense. Neil was fine. More than fine. He’s safe at home with Andrew, and this should be the best possible ending to one of Neil’s best days, but when Neil squeezes his eyes shut, all he can see is —

    Riko grinning with vicious pleasure as he slices Neil open. Riko’s eyes reflecting the glow of the lighter licking Neil’s skin. Riko laughing as a tattoo gun needle digs into Neil’s cheek.

    Riko, Riko, Riko, smothering and impossible to escape. Panic knifes through Neil as he yanks uselessly against the handcuffs. No, no, no —

    And then he’s saying it aloud, “No, no, no,” because there isn't a gag cutting into the sides of his mouth. Because Neil isn’t at Evermore. He’s at home with Andrew, who’s right there when Neil opens his eyes — only near the foot of the bed now, not touching Neil at all.

    Neil has long gotten used to reading the faint shades of emotion that pass for expressions on Andrew’s face. But never, not even in Andrew's medicated, manically expressive days, has Neil seen Andrew wear anything like his current look of horrified shock.

    Neil agrees to try the handcuffs in bed. It goes badly. Cue angst and h/c.

    Summary

    The witch’s hut is small and simple. It’s an embrace of a room, cozy corners and softly scalloped log walls chinked with white clay. Garlands of flowers and herbs festoon the ceiling, some fresh, some wilted, many dried. Shallow shelves full of jars and bottles line one wall. The bed is shoved against another. A small round table with three chairs just fits between. A cauldron of water perpetually simmers on the wood stove, ready for spellwork or tea.

    Summary

    Andrew opened his door to Neil Josten wrestling a cat in his arms and sporting a dried scratch on his eyebrow.

    “What the fuck is that,” Andrew said, staring at the scratch.

    Neil, still struggling with the beast, said, “Your cat, I think.”

    Andrew has been trying to ignore his new neighbor for months now. Andrew’s cat has been trying something else.

    Andrew should never listen to Bee's advice. Or maybe he should always listen to Bee's advice.

    Anyway. At her prompting, he makes a YouTube channel to direct his manic energy into. It doesn't help that he only features his shitty, shitty, robots.

    Andrew knows that Neil is not soft, or delicate, or fragile in any sense of the word.

    And, yet.

    Summary

    Andrew should've taken more care with hiding the hickeys littering his neck. The hoodie he's sporting isn't doing much, collar stretched and warped from one too many washes, one too many instances of Andrew himself pulling at it while it was keeping someone else warm. Jealous of fabric, of the warmth it provided, Andrew thought he could do a better job at heating up the wearer's skin.

    So now the neckline was fucked, and the hoodie belonged to him, a trophy he swore he'd never display.

    Nick bobs like a fish until the words finally spill out. He's looking at Andrew's neck, not his face. "Again? Does your boyfriend not get tired?"

    Andrew dates his college's star athlete. No, he won't tell anyone about it.
