Summary
Pro Exy player Andrew is forced to retire early after an injury on court. 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.

Summary
Andrew, despite being a felon and general disappointment, is working as a delivery driver and managing to stay out of trouble. Nicky would be proud, except Andrew's boss is Ichirou Moriyama and his cargo isn't exactly legal-- but hey, it's a living. Not a great living, but a living nonetheless.
One day, Ichirou offers Andrew a new job: become the driver and caretaker of his newest "asset", the injured son of a Baltimore associate. It's a nine month contract, with all expenses paid. Andrew could use the steady income, and he's had worse jobs before. He can do anything for nine months.
Besides, it's not like he can actually refuse.(Completed work, updates Mon/Wed/Fri)
UPDATED OCT 2025 because I missed including a chapter when originally posting. Chapter 4 is new.

Summary
Andrew isn't a renowed author. Sure, he has his fans here and there, a few hardcore readers, but he's not famous or internationally known.
So, when he stumbles across his own book in a place where it absolutely shouldn't be and in a language it absolutely wasn't translated to, he makes it his personal mission to find the person behind it.

Summary
The feeling morphed from an itch to a constant, the buzz of a worn-out system coming back online inside of him. It was supposed to be there this whole time, it belonged, ready to elevate Aaron to his full annoying brother potential.
This whole time, he didn't want to undo their progress, didn't want to shame or fight Andrew.
No.
He wanted to make fun of him.
Aaron calls Andrew out on being the most obnoxious boyfriend to ever boyfriend.

Summary
Andrew should've taken more care with hiding the hickeys littering his neck. The hoodie he's sporting isn't doing much, collar stretched and warped from one too many washes, one too many instances of Andrew himself pulling at it while it was keeping someone else warm. Jealous of fabric, of the warmth it provided, Andrew thought he could do a better job at heating up the wearer's skin.
So now the neckline was fucked, and the hoodie belonged to him, a trophy he swore he'd never display.
Nick bobs like a fish until the words finally spill out. He's looking at Andrew's neck, not his face. "Again? Does your boyfriend not get tired?"
Andrew dates his college's star athlete. No, he won't tell anyone about it.

Summary
“I’m obsessive about everything,” Neil protests, sitting in a booth with the four upperclassmen he can stand. “What makes this obsession special?”
“Okay, we get the Exy obsession, because you’re legitimately planning on going pro, and we get the Kevin obsession because he’s dedicated to teaching you to go pro, and we even get the Minyard obsession,” Dan says.
“Shh,” Neil pleads desperately, hoping beyond hope that nobody heard that.
“But the podcast has nothing to do with Exy! It’s half about music, and you don’t even like music that much,” Dan says. “It’s literally just music and a really weird guy talking about his homicidal impulses, and it sorta sounds like a joke, but on a much more real level it sounds like it’s absolutely not a joke and I would call the authorities if this guy gave any personal details at all,” Dan says.
“It’s mostly a joke,” Neil offers, but it sounds weak to his own ears.

Summary
Neil turns his attention back to Andrew, watching as he fixes a jammed printer by kicking the tray with full force. “What do you know about him?”
“He went to juvie for a few years,” Matt says. “There’s a rumor that he’s killed someone, or maybe it was two people. Anyways, people call him a psychopath. He always carries at least ten knives on him at all times.”
“Ten knives,” Neil repeats blandly.
“Just telling you what I’ve heard,” Matt says with a shrug.

The new librarian has a reputation. Neil doesn't believe any of it.

Neil is a horse boy, and Andrew doesn't fuck with horse boys - even though he maybe used to be one (but we don't talk about that).
ft. lots of limes, dicks waving about, and not a lot of horses, actually.

Summary
Andrew’s life is boring, but he’s never been one for adventure.
Not like one Neil Josten, who is currently thriving with over 4 million followers on Instagram and 2.5 million on YouTube, still traveling, still with people who are not Andrew.
Andrew wouldn’t be surprised if Neil has forgotten all about him, eight years of friendship be damned.
Or: How Neil and Andrew travel the world together and try to fix their broken friendship, and maybe discover a little more along the way.
