    Summary

    It’s not fair. It’s all Neil can think, childish and foolish and true. It’s not fair. It’s not fair. It never has been. The tickets weigh as much as a coffin lid, as the lie that is Neil Josten. Kevin’s hand is still on top of his and his fingers tremble. Neil stares. It’s his left hand, a solid reminder of the bastion of cruelty these tickets are going to lead him to.
    “I’m sorry.” Kevin whispers.
    Neil barks a bitter laugh that ravages his throat and tucks the tickets into his pocket. “Yeah, me too.”

    Or:
    Nathaniel Wesninski dies in a basement in Baltimore. Neil Josten wakes up on the bleachers in Millport. One of them still has to get Jean out of the Nest.

    Summary

    Everyone knows that Jean Moreau has rules about being touched. It’s to be expected, having grown up in a cult where bodily autonomy was nonexistent and boundaries were punished. Jean has rules about who, where, and when people are allowed to touch him.

    So why does Neil Josten seem to be the exception?

    // Or five times Neil touches Jean around others and once when they’re alone.

    Chapter POV's: Renee, Coach Rhemann, Jeremy, Abby, Kevin, plus Neil.

    Summary

    His fingers reach out to graze Jean’s arm, attempting to shock him out of his spiral that Neil knows threatens to creep in. He wants desperately to smooth out the crease between his brows, to draw the larger man into his arms and make sure no one can ever reach him again, to keep him safe in the circle of his protection and pretend the world doesn’t want them dead for things far beyond their control. In moments like this, Jean looks so much older than his nineteen years, scarred by horrors and pain that Neil knows he didn’t deserve, and Neil feels so much younger, frightened and anxious at the prospect of not being able to keep him safe, to hold him close to his chest and never let go.

    “You’ll be okay,” he rasps, voice rough like sandpaper grates over each word. “You’ll be okay.”

    -

    Or, Neil Josten and Jean Moreau escape from the Nest, and into the waiting arms of the Palmetto Foxes.

    Summary

    Four years ago, Andrew signed with the Baltimore Wolves to cover Jean's part of the salary deal with Ichirou. But, in desperate need of new strikers after their last abysmal season, Baltimore drafted one of the best out of Milwaukee: Neil Josten. Neil needs an anchor to help him survive his hometown, and Andrew decides to help him make new memories. And maybe, along the way, he'll learn how to apologize for breaking Neil's heart.

    Summary

    Nathaniel knows he’s not supposed to be pleased, or glad about being owned, but a small part of him is overwhelmingly excited to leave that house.
    He feels even worse as his mother’s corpse cools, but this way, both of them are getting out. He looks up and sees Lord Moriyama’s black eyes looking down at him.

     

    There’s no comfort there, but that’s okay, Nathaniel has always had to create his own comfort, anyway.

     

    Or

    Nathaniel in the Nest, from 10.

    Summary

    Charles starts turning himself intangible. Repeatedly. It becomes a problem.

    He swings the sword in a circle, like he used to with his bat, to remind himself of how it handles. Edwin’s gaze flicks towards the movement and then lingers, though he keeps his head turned slightly away as if it’s a secret that he’s watching. Charles’s insides leap and on impulse he repeats the move.

    The sword clangs on the pavement.

    “Butterfingers,” he says as he crouches. Collecting the sword gives him a nice excuse not to look at Crystal, or at Edwin. It’s embarrassing — he’s done that move hundreds of times, with all kinds of different weapons, and he’s never botched it so badly he chucked something on the floor before …

    Summary

    The Pros were never in the cards. Not for an ex-medicated alleged psychotic with a dysfunctional family and an Exy career he’d rather not have. But even if it wasn't his first choice, no matter what happens, it can’t possibly be worse than that one fucked up sophomore year when he stood toe to toe with the Yakuza-and won.

    At least, that’s what Andrew thinks until a familiar face shows up.

    Another Raven!Neil AU. Or, the one where the boys don’t meet until the Pros.

    Summary

    Neil turned to look out the window, letting the smoke burn through his lungs longer than he should’ve. It hurt; it made him feel real again. He let it out slowly, afraid time might slip away with the exhale, and he’d become this smoke dissipating into the wind once more.

    If it were a year ago, he would write this off as his memory being odd. It always had been. Conversations he was present for slipped away, and more than just possessions got lost between the cities they stayed in. If this were a year ago, he’d write the missing hours away because he’d been jumbled and upset, and his mind didn’t always hit the record button for the bad stuff. But he wasn’t just surviving for himself anymore.

    --

    No longer on the run, some inconsistencies Neil had long written off start to effect his daily life. Or, another DID!Neil fic.

    Summary

    “What is it?” Charles asks.
    “Hang on,” says Edwin. He flips rapidly through pages of his notebook. He magically extended it a while back, so the bloody thing’s got more than seven-hundred pages full of Edwin’s notes and sketches. It makes for a tense several seconds of flipping.
    When he does stop, finding the correct page and holding it open under the light, Charles’ breath catches in his throat.
    “Is this her?” Edwin asks urgently.
    Edwin’s a damn good artist, even if he insists it’s just a practical thing. He’s captured her likeness shockingly well. Lank hair, full cheeks, sullen pout. Wide, staring eyes.
    “Yeah,” Charles breathes. “That’s her. Who is she?”
    Edwin is clearly horrified. No, it’s worse than that. Edwin looks scared. Charles’ instincts all kick up into high gear, and he has to clench his fists to resist the urge to simply shove Edwin into his backpack.
    “I don’t know,” Edwin says quietly, like he’s afraid of being overheard. “But I’ve seen her.” He hesitates. “In Hell.”

    Summary

    Nothing around him looked wrong, was the thing. Sure, there were some flashy landmarks out of place, but the world overall? Felt the bloody same as usual. He knew this street well — it was one of his favourite routes. A good walk here always helped clear his head after a tricky case or calm him down after a debacle.

    Which, coincidentally, was exactly what he needed right now.

    After a ritual gone wrong, Charles finds himself in a tight spot. There’s only one place he knows to go for this sort of thing.

    Summary

    Charles gets dragged to Hell on a foggy Tuesday afternoon in September. Edwin, Crystal, and the Night Nurse retrieve him a few weeks later. Somehow, this is only the prologue of the story.

    In the time Charles was gone, something changed. Edwin is different. He’s disappearing off on his own, taking clients he won’t tell Charles and Crystal about, and - every now again - Charles could swear there’s a glint of fire in his eyes, like embers burning in the dark.

    Something in Edwin broke when Charles was away. Charles just needs to figure out what it is so he can fix it before it consumes them.

    Summary

    FORTY-YEAR-OLD CASE BELIEVED SOLVED AFTER MURDERER CONFESSES

    On Thursday, 23 November 1989, a corpse was discovered in an unused attic at Saint Hilarion’s Catholic boarding school. Exhibiting signs of both hypothermia and internal bleeding, the corpse was immediately identified as Charles Stephen Rowland, a year 12 who had been missing for the past three days. According to testimonies from other pupils at the school, the cause of death was ruled a suicide despite a lack of concrete evidence to prove it so.

    However, last Monday (the sixteenth of April), wealthy Chelsea landlord Richard Heyes fell ill and was taken to the Chelsea and Westminster A&E after his wife dialled 999. He was found to have several ruptured brain aneurysms, which he had been aware of but refused to treat due to religious reasons. On his deathbed, he confessed to the 35-year-old murder.

    Some suspects in the case have been detained and brought in for questioning about their whereabouts on the night of November 21, 1989. There have been no conclusive results as of yet.

    A second funeral ceremony will be held on April 24 at the Brompton Cemetery Green.

    Mr and Mrs Paul Rowland have declined comment for the time being.

    Summary

    Post presentation, Steve has yet to go into heat. The enormous weight of his parents’ expectations, Upside Down flavored night terrors, and the crippling void of loneliness—he’s only just beginning to unravel—don’t help this.

    At the behest of Dr. Owens, Steve enlists the help of one Eddie Munson, newly souped up alpha riding high on demo-venom, to help him out.

    He just hopes he doesn’t embarrass himself too much when Eddie’s addicting scent finally gets the slick to pour.

    Summary

    Edwin sighed and unfolded his hands to push his hair back. “I suppose this was inevitable,” he allowed.
    Charles beamed. “That’s the spirit. Look at it this way — you’ve never been to a house party before, and here’s one that’s right up your alley!”
    “Ominous and full of peril?” Edwin asked sardonically.
    “Exactly!” Charles agreed. “This way you get to go to a party you’ll actually like, because it’s actually a mystery. And once you solve the mystery, the party ends. I couldn’t have thrown you a better one myself.”

    Summary

    Steve gets high in the back of Eddie Munson's van. His back hurts. His head hurts. His first love called him bullshit.

    He doesn't know why he thought this was a good idea. Can't even remember how he got here.

    All he can think is how good Eddie's van would be for puppies. Two velvety blue bench seats behind the driver's and passenger's seats, with enough room between the second bench and the back panel doors for Eddie's nest.

    It's just a small round bed walled in by pillows and old leather, but Steve's eyes burn every time he looks at it.

    He and Eddie are nowhere near close enough for him to, like, clamber inside and curl down, though. Why would he even want that? Stupid.
