    Summary

    Aaron desperately needs to prove to his employees that he isn’t homophobic, and that he can survive an entire night of shameless flirting with another man. Just to be safe, though, he sends Andrew in his place.

    Neil agrees to go on the date and put on his best performance to expose some asshole as a homophobe—if it means getting the Lana Del Rey concert tickets Allison is holding hostage.

    Summary

    Andrew Minyard, former storm chaser turned research meteorologist, treks to the middle of nowhere to meet up with his former work partner who he’s secretly had feelings for since they met. He’s there to sign a patent but can’t help getting caught up, literally, in his old work. Tornado chasing shenanigans ensue, feelings are had, and possibly a ridiculous confession happens in the pouring rain. There are cows.

    Also known as the blatant Twister AU no one asked for or wanted.

    Seriously, this follows the 1996 film really closely so if you wanted to watch it and haven't this fic is one big spoiler.

    But also why haven't you watched it, it's amazing.

    Summary

    The Waffle House was twenty eight miles from campus. Far enough that no one they knew would ever bother. Close enough that it felt like home.

    And the staff, they loved them.

    No one ever asked questions. But one night when Neil came in with a bruise blooming high on his throat and Andrew looked half wrecked from giving it, their usual server, a woman in her fifties with glittery nails and a tired smile, just said, “Y’all look like you had a good night,” and brought over a plate of cinnamon toast on the house.

    Summary

    Andrew fell to his knees before he could reach the striker, agony exploding from every nerve ending in his body.

    He could hear a wailing scream in the distance, but the ringing in his ears was too loud to care about it. Nails dug into the skin of his neck as he fought against his scent patches, and the noise of surprise around him at the mark present was unimportant as Andrew dug his fingers into it. His alpha screamed, tormented, as Andrew realized what this unmooring feeling meant.

    Somewhere, too far away for him to reach, Neil was dead.

     

    Or

     

    Neil dies in Baltimore. Five years later, Andrew finds him again working as a nurse in Florida and Neil is not alone.
    It's the quintesential omega verse trope folks, and I'm making it about Andreil!

    Summary

    “Do tell him that we have enjoyed watching his team’s success in the American league, perhaps if he had joined Day’s team, he would have won the championship.”

    The translator’s lips twitched at the comment. “Petra wants you to know how much they have enjoyed watching your team’s success in the American leagues.”

    Andrew waits for the rest of the comment to follow. The translator seems set on editing, unfortunately. “Are they paying you well to play diplomat?”

    The comment is out before he can stop it. It seems to take the translator by surprise and his mouth twitches into a barely contained grin.

    “A certain amount of discretion is expected to keep international relations happy, yes.”

    Andrew is intrigued by his honesty. “Tell them that Day would pitch a fit if he knew they found time to watch another countries Exy team. If you have time to watch than you have time to practice, after all.”

    He translates perfectly with a smirk at being called out. Andrew watches him closely. If asked, he would say that this man posed a threat. In reality, he enjoyed the way he hadn’t backed down when being caught out.

    “Why am I here if you speak the language?” The translator asks in English.

    "Going for the throat, are you?"

    "I’m not a kind person."

    "My husband. My husband choked me out."

    "The classic. I was a foster kid. Had plenty of adults beat on me for something as stupid as breathing too loud."

    "It’s always the stupidest reasons."

    "Does he-"

    "No. I would skin him alive if ever dared to put his hands on my daughter."

    "I have Luna's black roses."

    "Oh yeah? She'll be happy when she sees them. She's at a friend's house right now."

    "Then I'll start planting."

    "Yeah. Could you- could you stay here for a moment? I like the silence but I don't want to be alone."

    "Okay."

    Summary

    Nathan Wesninski was dead. And so was Lola Malcolm. Romero Malcolm. They were all dead, their bodies scattered over the floors tainted with blood, with the prospect of peace. Baltimore could start healing.

    Nathan Wesninski was dead, but his killer was smiling, and Andrew couldn't shake off the feeling that it wasn't the end of anything. The city thrived off crime, and the crime itself was so much bigger than a triple murder. So much more important in the bright white of the interrogation room.

    The killer was smiling. Andrew sat into a chair across him.

    Cameras stayed off.

    Summary

    Andrew traces his finger along the long line of the tendril slung over his thigh, and Neil shivers. It's the last night they have before Andrew's ship heads off to colder waters, and although Neil says that he'll still be here when he gets back, Andrew knows in the pit of his stomach that this is little more than a stolen pocket of time that he would do well to remember is slipping through his fingers faster than sand.

    Or, pirate Andrew and octopus-hybrid Neil know they're on borrowed time, and neither of them know if and when Andrew will return to warmer waters. They decide to fuck about it.

    Summary

    "It was fine," Andrew says, flat enough that Neil almost misses how hard he's grinding his teeth together around the words.

    "It's okay," Neil says, because it is. Well, it isn't, but if Neil thinks about it too hard his blood will begin a too-angry sprint that won't help either of them.

    "I want..." Andrew trails off with a huff, and the ache in Neil's chest breaks like a dam.

    He presses his face down into Andrew's hair. "I know."

    Summary

    It takes all of his willpower not to physically react from shock when he finds Piper curled up tightly on Andrew’s chest, King tucked behind the bend in her knees. His surprise is two-fold. First, he can’t believe he slept through another person being added into their bed. And second, he can’t believe that Andrew is actually asleep in his current position. His arm is wrapped tightly around Piper’s shoulders, the entirety of her small upper body resting on his chest. Neil can do nothing but stare in awe at the pair of them. He thinks of how far they've all come, each of them with their own unique struggles, and his sentimentality nearly gets the better of him.

    “Staring,” comes Andrew’s low voice, disguised by disuse. All these years, and Neil still doesn’t know how he does that. His eyes aren’t even open. Ridiculous.

     

    A few members of the domestic Andreil household find themselves awake in the middle of the night. In other words, Andrew Minyard is the best father in the universe, and no one will convince me otherwise.

    Summary

    Andrew knows exactly who Travis is. Travis William Patterson, 27 years old, 6’3” backliner from middle of nowhere, Texas, current starter for the Boston Hurricanes, #9. As a matter of fact, Andrew is looking at him right now. ESPN is showing Exy highlights from last weekend, and Neil’s team just happens to be up at this very moment.

    The Neil on screen has just performed some ridiculous move that absolutely should not have ended with a goal but somehow did, and he is immediately met with high-fives from his teammates and an affectionate-looking hug from Travis. Andrew can most certainly be objective, and this exchange looks pretty platonic. But Andrew is also a man attracted to men, and he has to admit that Travis is good looking. Really good looking.

    Neil seems to be spending a lot of time with his new friend, and Andrew is Not Jealous.

    Summary

    Neil had seen the guy around campus a few times. It was hard not to. The exy team stood out. Or those three did, anyway. The twins with their shock-white blond hair and perpetual resting bastard face, and Kevin Day, the number 2 arrogantly tattooed on a high cheekbone, flanked as usual by at least one of the twins.
    And Neil knew their reputation. It’s why he stayed away.

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.
