   Summary

   "Talk to me, Andrew- I thought you were getting better-"

   Better. It's like a lit match to kerosine- Andrew slams his hands down on the counter, crushing the chips before he sweeps them across the room. Better.

   Better- like Andrew is something to be fixed. That he even can be fixed. Nobody understands how hard he is trying but everyone can tell when he backslides- Abby, Wymack, the other Foxes, and even his own family have a silent language they use when Andrew Minyard is being a fucking problem again.

   He is so sick of being this vulnerable, he-

   Companion piece to Who You Were Before. Andrew's PoV post-nightmare: where he goes, and how he finds his way back home.

   Summary

   What if the threat of Aaron being charged with murder was more significant and Neil found out that he could prevent Andrew from having to be at the trial if he were to testify. What would he be willing to sacrifice to achieve that?

   What if instead of refusing to testify for Aaron, Neil decides to make a deal with the FBI to become their witness against his father if they’ll backstop his current identity? What if he could take Riko down with him? He thinks it means signing his death warrant and losing the Foxes. Betsy, Aaron and the Foxes are determined to convince him it doesn’t have to be all or nothing, but his father’s people are coming for him, he’s poked the Moriyama hornets’ nest on Kevin’s behalf and that’s not even starting on what Andrew will have to say about Neil choosing to martyr himself.

   Ft. Unlikely bonding between Aaron and Neil. Nicky and Aaron realise Andrew does care and is a protective asshole they should care about, therapy Neil needs but wouldn’t ever seem out and shake-ups to canon focus on healing and redemption for Andrew.
