Summary
Neil has four younger siblings who are all as feral and unhinged as he is.
Nathaniel Wesninski is dead. Or at least that's what the world was supposed to believe.
The eldest son of a cult leader in the woods of Northern Wisconsin, Neil escaped a life of fire, silence, and ritualized abuse by smuggling his four younger siblings to freedom and then disappearing. Years later, he resurfaces on the Foxes' Exy court under a stolen name, still running, still watching the shadows, still branded by the past he swore he'd never speak aloud.Series

Summary
Neil Josten didn't understand why someone would actively try to harm themselves. Until he did. After spending his entire life running away from death, he suddenly seems to be spiraling down towards it.
His twisted body is slipping in and out of reality and if making himself bleed is the only way to feel real again, is it really that bad?
‐---------
Or: where Neil deals with his trauma by biting himself while being completely oblivious to the harm he's putting himself through.
But it's okay cause the foxes are there to help him :]Bookmarked by Polia341
