    Summary

    Jean Moreau, despite himself, still wants things. He wants to leave: he needs to drag his broken body back down to its place. He was unconscious when they took him from the Nest, but he knows that won’t spare him the punishment, and the sooner he gets it over with the sooner he gets back on the court. This is a mountain Jean knows how to climb. It’s a tall peak, and he needs to get started. He needs to prove his value, needs to prove his loyalty. This next year is going to be brutal.

    Jeremy Knox likes to win, and even if he can't parallel park in less than fifteen attempts he's finally got his meds figured out and he's got friends who care enough to make him clean his room. And thanks to Kevin, the Trojans are about to poach the best backliner in the league, so he's finally got it all figured out. This next year is going to be awesome.

    Kevin is going to be watching this through his fingers.

    Summary

    Much of their life together was quiet deflection and circling around the tender spots that hung between them. It all carried over as the dark clouds in the distance that loomed closer every time she went on a set of road matches, or he had to disappear in the middle of the night to some random forest in Wales.

    Summary

    “Have you considered the possibility that Neil has chosen you, but believes you have not chosen him?” Renee says. "Have you ever explicitly told him what you want?”

    “Neil knows what I want,” Andrew snaps. This is not Andrew’s fault.

    “How do you know?”

    Because Neil always knows. He is as fluent in Andrew’s micro-expressions as he is in German and French. He knows which head tilts mean “go on” and which ones mean “shut up.” Without ever asking, he learned what it meant to see Andrew wearing double layers of long sleeves, or taking multiple showers in a day, and learned to hand Andrew the car keys.

    That has always been the most terrifying thing about Neil — his patience to wait, watch, listen, learn. The prospect that if Neil were given enough time, there would be no part of Andrew that was just Andrew’s anymore.

    “He has to know,” Andrew says.

    “Does he?” Renee says. “Have you ever known Neil to assume that he is wanted?”

    Five times Neil tells someone that he and Andrew aren’t dating, and one time Andrew uses his words to set the record straight.

    Summary

    The one where Andrew makes a perfectly reasonable request and Neil takes it too far like the dumbass he is.

    Or, relationships are complicated and communication is hard. They don't always nail it.

     

    So, Andrew has hit his limit. Neil’s charged silence next to him is so loud that Andrew can’t read over the buzz of it in his ears.

     

    “Get out,” he says, turning to glare at Neil.

     

    Neil blinks at him.

     

    “Whatever stupid thing you’re obsessing over. It’s irritating. I don’t have time to solve your problems for you. Handle it. I have to study.”

     

    Instantly, he realizes it was a mistake. He watches Neil’s face and body shutter up, closing tight like he’s locking down for a hurricane. It took so fucking long to get Neil to open up in the first place. Andrew had to peel him open one truth at a time. Fuck.

    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.
