end of year truths by timeloops (kunimi) for cheerfor8, neiljokesten (vykio)
Fandoms: All For The Game - Nora Sakavic
17 Jul 2024

Summary
Aaron is very aware of how human Kevin is, in that he doesn’t buy into the myth and legend and knows the man too well to put him on a pedestal. But it’s a step further here. When Kevin dances, he looks like he’s still figuring it out. He looks like what he is: twenty years old, trying his best, wanting to feel something else for a moment.
Or maybe Aaron’s just projecting.
“You said you wanted to dance,” Kevin says, and Aaron’s eyes snap back to his face. They hadn’t strayed very far; just down the line of Kevin’s body, watching the way he moved. It’s the freedom, Aaron thinks. Like when Kevin dances, it’s because he wants to do it more than he wants to be good at it. There aren’t many things he can say that about, when it comes to Kevin Day.
He’s here. He’s alive, and Andrew is alive, and Nicky is alive, and Kevin and Katelyn and Wymack and Abby. And Matt and Randy; the girls too. Even Neil.
All these people are alive, even if they’re not okay. And Drake is dead. And Aaron made that happen.
—it's the end of the year, all of kevin’s usual dogs are gone, and aaron has a lot to think about.

Summary
Making a documentary about the Butcher of Baltimore doesn't have to mean moving into the murder mansion with his son, but Kevin's never been one to do things halfway.

Summary
Jean asks for a favor. Neil finds himself at the center of a territorial squabble. It's him. He's the territory.
“But why me?”
“You are my only good option. Aaron is straight. Andrew is rabid. Allison and Seth are on and off so often it’s impossible to keep track. Dan and Matt are a couple and getting them both to agree to pretend to date me would be harder. Renee doesn’t like men. Katelyn is lovely but Aaron would be angry. I don’t know which of the others started or stopped dating over the summer. That leaves you."
“What about Kevin?”
Jean scoffs. “You cannot be serious.”
“He’s…” What is Kevin? Not any better at telling Riko ‘no’ than Jean is, and, subsequently, probably not great at lying to him. Also, is it really believable that Kevin would jeopardize the team and their athletic careers by shitting where he eats? Probably not. Kevin’s amended hierarchy of needs just has the word EXY at the base. Somewhere far above that are pedestrian concerns like ‘food’ and ‘water’ and ‘shelter.’
“Taller,” Neil finishes lamely. “He’s taller.”

All the Unknown Dead or Dying by neiljokesten (vykio) for cheerfor8, kunimi
Fandoms: All For The Game - Nora Sakavic
14 Feb 2025
Tags
Summary
Aaron doesn’t really get time off, not the way Kevin does, but Kevin still makes the trip every so often just to see Aaron’s face, even if all he can manage are a couple of hours between classes. Kevin can sleep right through Aaron’s oddest hours but not when he shakes him awake at 6:00 a.m. to shove a printed pamphlet at him with an ambiguous, “You’re ready.” Later, Kevin opened his eyes to see what the Crystal Hill Ski Lodge could offer; even later, he listened to Aaron explain he’d never been skiing either, and he wants a vacation very badly, and Kevin still hasn’t loosened up, and what better time than on Kevin Day’s professional athlete dime.
They split the costs but anyway: he’s on the mountain.
Kevin has some thoughts about finding himself here for the first time.

Crossing Lines, Running Reds by neiljokesten (vykio) for kunimi
Fandoms: All For The Game - Nora Sakavic
27 Feb 2024

Summary
“I’m not in denial,” Aaron says plainly. It’s not his own feelings he was ever worried about, he realizes—it’s always been the threat of Kevin’s that scares the shit out of him. Kevin, who has never known how to follow posted speed limits and runs reds because he can, because no one has ever told him he shouldn’t, probably likes him. Probably definitely. He’s afraid that one day he’ll realize he doesn’t.
Maybe that’s the heart of the issue. There’s precedence for this. Aaron has spent a long time being jerked around by people who love him for a period. It hurts, still, that his mother doesn’t know how to want him; that Andrew’s apathy is hard to interpret as caring sometimes; that Katelyn decided it wasn’t working after all. But that’s not very accurate data. Not that it matters. Kevin and him were never supposed to be together—that was their agreement.

Summary
“What’s their deal anyway?”
“Andrew’s afraid of romance,” Kevin answers, bored. With a little more concern, he asks, “I’m not on speakerphone, am I?” Aaron snorts and confirms he isn’t, and he’d have been fine anyway since there’s a whole closed door between him and Andrew. Kevin goes on. “But history suggests they will figure it out.” There’s a pause in which Aaron thinks Kevin wants him to be bolstered by his words, but he really is shit at offering any kind of real encouragement. Aaron flips his hand in the air and makes a noncommittal noise, and Kevin interprets that however he wants.
“Aaron,” Kevin says, serious. It’s a complete tonal shift, so Aaron braces for what he thinks he might say next. “You and I—we’re better at arguing than they are. Do you agree?”
“What,” Aaron says, relaxing but still exasperated, “are you talking about? Kevin, we argue all the time.”
“Yeah, but not about anything serious. Don’t pick a fight with me right now.”
Spoiler: Aaron does pick a fight with Kevin, and on the road to resolution, they acknowledge something new—or maybe not so new—about each other.

Summary
“He watches you,” Jean says.
Aaron looks up at that. “He has a staring problem sometimes,” he says. “Is he bothering you? I can tell him to fuck off.”
This is a marvel to Jean, who has scowled at Kevin Day a thousand times and chased away his too-keen gaze on Riko’s court a thousand more, but has never known how to not want him within reach.
A secret is that which is not known and not seen, that which is not meant to be known or seen. It is a thing that is to be kept. It can be precious or dangerous or too heavy to bear. It can be a sacrifice to hold dear. It can be a detriment to those who do. And yet, you bite your tongue. Tuck it behind your ribs. Hold it between your teeth, regardless of what it costs.
By this definition, Kevin Day is your secret.

trials and tribulations of keeping a vampire as a rescue by timeloops (kunimi) for KittKatAttack
Fandoms: All For The Game - Nora Sakavic
07 Oct 2024

Summary
Aaron had looked at Kevin then, tilting his head. “Are you still thirsty?” he’d asked.
Kevin had licked his lips—a subconscious movement, but it had brought the taste of Aaron back to the forefront and he’d swallowed, hard.
“You’re suffering blood loss as it is,” he’d said, the words clunky in his mouth. Awkward, too-gentle.
“That’s not an answer,” Aaron had said, narrowing his eyes, but Kevin had looked at him.
“Isn’t it?” he’d murmured, before slipping past him, to stand at the edge.
It’s not every day you go monster-hunting and end up with a pet vampire instead. Aaron really just wanted a dog, but he supposes this isn’t so bad.

Summary
“I missed you this summer,” he says casually, which is terrible. It’s so fucking Kevin—he won’t say a nice word upon pain of death on the court, and he barely knows how to say thank you when Aaron chucks an energy bar at him to make sure he doesn’t fucking pass out at practice or fixes his bandages for him (in Aaron’s defence, he only took over because Kevin’s attempts were incompetent and therefore annoying, not because he wanted to) or whatever the fuck help he’s providing the walking irritant, but sometimes he’s just so honest that it makes Aaron want to shove his head into the school pool and scream underwater.
“Uh-huh,” Aaron says, because he’s not that easy. “Yeah, I’m sure you had a lot of time to just think about your schoolmates when you were lying on the decks of yachts and elongating your spine.”
Kevin pauses, processing that. “So you noticed?” he says, rubbing the nape of his neck.
Aaron stops, turning to look at him incredulously. “You look like the Lighthouse of Alexandria,” he says. Kevin’s face starts to break out into a slow smile, so Aaron turns on his heel and starts speed-walking forward.
kevin gets taller. aaron copes.

Summary
“Okay, let’s try this,” Aaron says. “Tell me five things you can see.”
“You,” Kevin says. It’s half a gasp. Aaron nods, raising one finger. It bolsters Kevin to see it, so he scrambles around for more. “The balcony. Riko. The French press. Your shitty sneakers.”
Aaron, with four fingers raised, quietly says, “Riko’s not here, Kevin.”
“What?” Kevin looks at him wildly. He blinks, trying to steady his gaze. Fuck. Okay. Yeah. Fuck. Aaron. He’s here with Aaron, which means Riko can’t be here, because they’ve never met. They belong to two different spheres of his life. “Uh. Your eyes.”
“I don’t think you’re meant to say me for three out of your five objects,” Aaron says, but his ears are tinging pink again. Kevin is endlessly fascinated by it.
Kevin Day makes a comeback.

Summary
Aaron just rolls his eyes. “All right, then. Speedrun time.”
Neil blinks. “What?”
Aaron ignores this, instead counting off on his fingers. “Your mother’s burnt corpse is somewhere in California, you’ve had a hard-on for Kevin since you were ten, you’ve had more names than Andrew’s had cavities—”
Neil claps his hand right over Aaron’s terrible mouth. There’s panic rising in his throat. Anger too, maybe.
“Shut up,” Neil says, and Aaron shoots him a flat look, whispering something. The movement of his lips brushes at Neil’s palm, tingling so much it’s almost a type of pain.
He knows better than to move his hand, especially if Aaron said what he thinks he said, but. He has to know. So he does.
“Abram,” Aaron says again, so quietly, eyes steady on Neil’s, the only steady things in the universe as the world tilts beneath Neil’s feet.
What the fuck, Neil thinks. What the fuck.
Aaron and Neil find themselves caught in a time loop.

Tap. Tap. Tap.
“I’m going to throw this at you,” Aaron threatens, brandishing his textbook at Neil and his offending fingers.
Neil just scoffs. “I’m faster than you,” he says dismissively.
It’s funny, the things that can spark a memory. Neil says I’m faster than you, and it’s true, except for the time it isn’t. Neil says I’m faster than you, and Aaron is leaping forward, swinging. Blood everywhere.
There is no risk-free way to crash a car, and other things Aaron Minyard knows.

Summary
“Are you hungry?” Neil thinks about it and seesaws his hand midair, meaning so-so. “I’ll get you something to eat. Don’t follow me. Can you wait a while?”
Neil shrugs and nods. Aaron follows the movement of his shoulder and trails his eyes to Neil’s collarbone, where the zip-up he’s wearing reveals the beginning of a design on a bright yellow shirt. The zip-up has twin white stripes on each side of the zipper that match the ones running down its sleeves. It sits loosely on Neil, though not uncomfortably, but it’s obviously not his, and very possibly Kevin’s, and there’s something about that that Aaron finds irritating.
Neil vigorously gestures at the box in front of him, meaning he’s occupied, then flaps his hand towards Aaron, meaning go away. Aaron rolls his eyes and goes.
“Don’t be too long,” Neil calls after him. “You know I get bored without you.”
Aaron does take too long, so Neil can't be held responsible for what happens next, can he?

Summary
“That was fun,” Neil says brightly. His hair is matted with sweat and he’s sitting on the ground, leaning back on his palms as he pants, but he grins when Aaron looks up at him.
“Fuck off,” Aaron says. He’s still upright, but he’s practically bent double, his hands planted on his thighs. Neil observes his splayed fingers with interest. They span almost his entire thigh.
Neil wonders if his—just that little bit bigger—would do it entirely.

Summary
Still, Aaron narrowed his eyes suspiciously at Neil, preemptively admonishing when he’d told him, “Don’t do anything stupid in Arizona.”
“I won’t do anything stupid in Arizona,” Neil had promised. Aaron had given him a sidelong glance full of mistrust, but he hadn’t said anything else. Aaron’s intuition hadn’t been wrong—Neil went on to vanish for those fourteen days, leaving all of Aaron’s questions about Arizona, his family, where the hell he was, why why why unanswered.
Neil nearly sighed and just barely resisted. Aaron hadn’t said anything then, and Neil knew he’d have to touch base with him at some point too. They didn’t have many chances to talk between Aaron’s arrival and their picking up Andrew—he’d just hoped he wouldn’t have to contend with both twins in one night.
