Summary
Neil Josten knows he is a nightmare for witness protection. He lies, works only on his own terms, and is hopeless when it comes to the concept of "rehabilitation." But after surviving the Butcher of Baltimore, at the cost of his own leg, he figured he’d earned the right to be impossible. It wasn't him who asked for FBI custody, or to be caged in a luxury estate with Katelyn and her well-meaning parents, and he certainly didn't ask for a therapist who actually sees him, or her heavily cautious, golden eyed son who circles him like a lethal shadow.
Trapped on crutches he despises and haunted by his father’s cleaver, Neil plans to stay a ghost. But when a desperate scream shatters the shore, instinct wins. He has zero business plunging into the icy ocean on one functional leg, but for the first time in months, Neil isn't crawling from his ghosts, he’s fighting.
That suicidal stunt drags him into the warm orange glow of David Wymack’s marine rescue center, a place fighting the corporate predator Edgar Allan Marine Park. It also locks him into the dangerous orbit of Andrew Minyard, high on Columbia highs, fiercely protective, and completely unbothered by Neil's feral, self-destructive spite… or is he?

Summary
Aaron Minyard is tired. He hates everything around him, hates how he is always the odd one out. Hates how the things he wants so badly seem to come so easily to everyone. Hates how everyone seems to be flourishing, as Aaron finds himself wilting and decaying from the inside out.
After a fight brings buried feelings to light, and mistakes happen in a way that they can no longer be ignored, Aaron must learn to navigate a reality where if he wants change to happen, he needs to be an active participant, no longer a bystander watching from the sidelines.
Not all is lost, for he finds refuge and an unlikely ally in one Kevin Day.
Sometimes rock bottom has a basement, especially if you are a Minyard. Other times the only way to rebuild a stable home is to destroy the foundation and start from scratch. Because maybe, just maybe the end result will be better than what you started with.

Canon typical TW apply!!! all characters except for the odd ones I made belong to Nora Sakavic <3(Title inspired by “Love Like You” from Steven Universe, a song I think fits Aaron <3)

Summary
In a dystopian world in which omegas have few human rights, an omega rehabilitation facility in Western Australia has agreed to take on young alpha/omega pair Duncan McGann and Beau Brodie, who need support to prepare for Beau's first heat, rather than separate the young couple to subject the omega to training in proper behavior. Alpha companion Anton Valenosk and his omega partner Alois Flitmouse have agreed to coach the boys in tandem.

Summary
Giovanni thought he was a good omega until he was sent to an Omega Rehabilitation Facility. Where ever Giovanni was sent, it was hell on Earth. His alpha took him back after Giovanni was declared "fixed" just after a couple months.
But clearly, it wasn’t enough as Giovanni’s alpha decided to send him away again. This time, Giovanni is dropped off at a strange facility on the east coast of the United States. He’s never seen anything like it. Apparently it should be nicer than the previous one. At least… that’s what his alpha told him.
Now, all Giovanni hopes for is to survive.

Summary
Alternative AU where Andrew escapes Drake’s abuse at fourteen and finds a not-so-temporary home with David Wymack.
Without spoiling too much, the story will touch on some very heavy topics such as sex trafficking, rape, and its aftermath. However, the story mainly focuses on Andrew’s healing throughout and asks the question of who Andrew could have become if he had never gone to juvie or been put on court-mandated medication.
Andrew will not be portrayed as a psychopath like some stories choose to portray him, but rather as a character who went through hell and is trying his best to survive it. The story will mainly focus on Andrew and Wymack’s relationship, as well as his gradual friendship with the Exy players and his growing love for the game. Neil and the other Foxes will appear later in the story, so if you’re looking for a major Andreil focus, this probably isn’t the story for you.
Lots of hurt, but also lots of comfort, because Nora really likes putting her characters through the worst and we all need a little comfort afterward.
(Btw, the title is a reference to “I Was Just a Kid” by Nothing But Thieves.)Currently updating 3-4 times a week

Summary
Sirius has been living with the Potters for three months now.
His brother has been here longer—has seen first hand how the Potters truly are. His brother has seen them, heard them, and slowly has become part of their family.
Sirius, on the other hand, hasn’t. He didn’t. He isn’t going to be a part of their family—he never was planning on it. He’s fine being on his own—happy, even. He is so happy. Totally, happy. Nothing could ever change that.
Except… his uncle is dead. His head is plagued with memories of his parents. His skin itches with this weird purpose. And he has no idea what’s going on inside his mind anymore.
All he wants is to crawl out from his skin. He wants to disappear, hoping to be forgotten.
He doesn’t think this home will last forever.

Summary
They were short on time, Abram had been sick for too long, Mary had no other choice. Or maybe that's just what the twisted mother wanted to tell herself to sooth her motherly instinct-if she had any- as she abandoned her 10 year old son only 2 years after saving him and herself from his fate and that house.
After an anonymous call, the CPS took Neil into the foster-care system, placing him home after home until he finally met Cass Spear. A lady who perfectly embodied the average curly blonde, middle-aged woman look with an overly sweet personality that made every and any child she met feel safe.
Though her candy-like personality was loved by many children before him, Neil felt as though he had a constant toothache any time he got too comfortable.On the other-hand, the Spears-after Andrew's outburst, arrest and return to his maternal family, the Minyards-they decided to foster another child, one who proved to be completely mute.
His name?

Summary
Long before Neil Josten arrived in the nowhere town of Millport, Arizona he was an exy prodigy with great potential and a girl. Now, he’s neither.
Neil Josten knows how to survive. What tree years on the road didn’t teach him, his mother showed him. After leaving her dead body on a beach on the West Coast, Neil has been on his own, protecting his three-year-old sister and himself from those that hunt them and struggling to make ends meet as a homeless teen.
When Coach Wymack shows up looking for a second striker sub for his exy team, the Palmetto Foxes, Neil is faced with a choice: keep on the path his mother trained him for or trust that exy can save him.
But signing for the Foxes proves messier than promised.Or:
A story where Neil is trans masc and a teen parent (not that he'll be very forthcoming about either of these things, this is Neil). Spoilers in the Tags!! If you want to experience this through Neil's usual shady POV skip the tags. Content warnings the same as the books.Bookmarked by berliBlack
