    Summary

    When Neil Josten gets arrested for a fake ID and thrown into the Juvenile Detention System, he knows that he's running on borrowed time before his father's men catch up.

    His mother is dead, there's nowhere to run, there's nothing left at all but an Exy court at the Oakland County Detention Center that he has to earn the right to play on through good behavior.

    And Neil's never been great at obeying rules.

    ***

    An Andriel AU where the boys meet as teens in Juvie.

    Summary

    Nina is halfway through the locker room when she realizes sheʼs not alone.

    It’s Mary who first sees the bright yellow of the racquet being swinged by a third party, but Nina is going too fast to stop having reached the lounge, and Mary’s warning to avoid it becomes obsolete. It happens like this: wood hits her stomach, hard enough to crush her lungs against her spine. And like this: Nina doesn’t remember falling, but suddenly she’s on her hands and knees. And like this: Mary immediately kneels next to her, tries to grab Nina by the shoulders only to have her hands pass through Nina without touching her. And like this: Nina can’t breathe. Feels as if she were to cough up a lung. She gasps. Black spots fill her vision. And like this: Wymack sounds thousands of miles away when he booms angrily, “For my grandmother’s beard, Minyard. You are the reason we can’t have nice things.”

     

    Mary dies. Her daughter refuses to let go of her. Mary comes back.

    Summary

    They’ve known each other since the Beginning. Not the Beginning Beginning—they didn’t meet until after the War in Heaven, where they kept to their own sides, or until after the subsequent Fall. It wasn’t even until after the Exodus from Eden, but only by a couple minutes. They’ve witnessed the rise and fall of empires, sampled all the cuisines the world has to offer, and weathered several very silly fashion trends.

    Andrew doesn’t think they’re friends, exactly, but it is natural to become accustomed to the presence of the only other being who has been around more or less consistently for six millennia. It wasn’t anything more meaningful than that.

    A Good Omens AU where Andrew is a grumpy angel, Neil is a sharp-tongued serpent, and it takes them literally six thousand years to figure out they belong together.

    Summary

    Neil closes his eyes and counts the things that he knows:
    One: Death has a name.
    Two: He has met Death before. Several times, in fact.
    Three: Someone is trying to kill him. Permanently. But it's only kind of working.

    Or, the one in which Andrew is the Grim Reaper, Neil is very, very good at dying, over and over and over again. They teach each other a few things over the centuries.
