    Summary

    “This is exactly why I don’t want you and Andrew to meet,” Aaron says grumpily. “You two would get along far too well.”
     
    Neil grins. “I just like pissing you off,” he says, “It’s not my fault your brother does such a good job at it.”

    Neil doesn’t expect much from his Sophomore year of college, but when he becomes a waiter at the Palmetto Bistro, his life gets a whole lot more interesting. As it turns out, maintaining friendships new and old as well as navigating an interesting relationship with the head chef of the restaurant—who just so happens to be his best friend’s twin brother—is a lot more complicated than he’d thought it would be.

    Summary

    When Neil Josten gets arrested for a fake ID and thrown into the Juvenile Detention System, he knows that he's running on borrowed time before his father's men catch up.

    His mother is dead, there's nowhere to run, there's nothing left at all but an Exy court at the Oakland County Detention Center that he has to earn the right to play on through good behavior.

    And Neil's never been great at obeying rules.

    Summary

    Neil’s hollow emptiness, his loneliness, his grief, it all fades with each one of Aaron’s devouring kisses. Aaron is right, it does feel good, and nothing has been good, not since—

    Not since Andrew died.

    And even though it is pointless, even though Neil has been running a one way track ever since he woke up in Millport, Neil chooses them twice.
    He chooses Andrew twice.

    Summary

    Neil goes to Edgar Allan for winter break with the intention of soon returning to PSU... only when he does, it's with a contract in his pocket as a Raven, to let Wymack know that he isn't a Fox any longer.
    (That he's switched teams to protect his friends... to protect ANDREW, not that he'll ever admit such a thing out loud.)

    Andrew returns to PSU free of a detested drug but not of familiar, awful demons, only to find a certain lying rabbit (a certain pipedream) has run away to Edgar Allan, and refuses to have anything to do with Neil Josten anymore.

    Only it's not as simple as that, is it? Not when Riko is still determined to tear the Foxes down, to prove that he's 'better' than Kevin.

    When others know the truth about Neil, and Andrew's feeling for him.

    Summary

    Neil Josten had been Neil Josten for just over a month. Since he was a free man now he had impulsively decided that he would start his life with attending Palmetto State College. He still had a very large sum of money left over from his life on the run, enough to attend college and live comfortably. And yet he still chose to live on campus.

    Summary

    Nathaniel Wesninski always knew that his life could have been much different, and perhaps much easier, if he had been anyone but Nathaniel Wesninski. With the three on his face and a state of always being surrounded by his fellow Perfect Court, he was forced into accepting his life as a number before he was a person. Though, when the cracks in the Ravens and in their corrupt Captain and Coach began to show, Nathaniel realized that he couldn't just sit back and let things be. Dreaming of dismantling the amazing yet corrupt Edgar Allan Ravens was one thing; actually going through with it, with two unexpected allies at his side, was a different story entirely.

    Dear Andrew Doe,

    I am not picking one of the pen pals that’s in California or whatever. I am going to write a fake name and a fake address and send this letter to a fake person. The teacher won’t let me leave until I send this to someone.

    Bye
    Alex

    Summary

    Punching your roommate is not a very smart idea. Starting a friends with benefits relationship with said roommate is an even worse one. Setting up a string of rules to keep it purely physical and make sure you don’t catch feeling but catching them anyways is certainly the stupidest thing you could do in that situation.

    Luckily for Neil, he never claimed to be smart.

    Summary

    Mary died before she was able to runaway with Nathaniel so Nathan sold him off to the Ravens as promised. But not before he learned how to handle a blade better than Lola and built a mind sharper than his father's blades. Exy was his ticket to freedom but there is no freedom in the Nest for someone like him.
    --

    "This might just be the season to end all season, folks. With Kevin Day coming back from an injury that many thought would end his career only to join a team like the Foxes and plan to go up against not only the best team in NCAA Class I Exy but also his own brother, Riko Moriyama. The sons of Exy, head to head, who would've thought?"

    "Definitely not me, John. But let's not forget the new player the Raven's just debuted. Currently the talk of the nation, that Wesninski."

    He listened with rapt attention as the reporters continued dissecting the upcoming season and a part of him just couldn't believe it. Then the television was suddenly switched off and he turned to face Riko. A rather pleased Riko who gave him a smile that held the promise of pain.

    "Come."

    He got up.
