Summary
Andrew Minyard liked routines.
Every morning before work he stopped at the same small café, ordered the same black coffee, and sat at the same table until it was time to teach his second graders.
Then the new barista started working mornings.
Neil was sharp-eyed, blunt, and far too observant for someone who claimed to just be making coffee. Andrew found himself tolerating his presence in a way he usually didn’t tolerate people at all.
And then one morning Neil disappeared.
Weeks later, he showed up bleeding on Andrew’s doorstep.
Andrew didn’t ask for trouble.
But apparently trouble knew exactly where to find him.

That's the Kind of Love I've Been Dreaming Of by OfficialStarsandGutters

Summary
It’s not, really, a big deal, honestly.
It’s just, after Katelyn, the thought of being with another girl still hurts. For a long time, the thought of being with anyone who was not her hurt. Quite a bit. But like his mother’s death, time sands out the sharp corners of all grief. So he’s considering his options. It’s just a little experiment. It doesn’t have to go anywhere.
Aaron is currently waiting for Grindr to download.
It’s not a big deal. Really.
He considers deleting it at least three times as he sets up his profile, but it’s not a big deal.

Summary
I think, therefore I am.
Neil Josten has spent his whole life running. He knows the rules: keep moving, keep lying, keep quiet. But when a chance at something more dangerous than safety drags him off the sidelines, Neil finds himself caught between a past he can't run from and a future he didn't think he could have.
Or what if Neil was a little more anxious, a little more traumatised and a little more scary.

Put Me Back In It ( Darlin' I’d Do It Again ) by httphimbo

Summary
It’s not fair. It’s all Neil can think, childish and foolish and true. It’s not fair. It’s not fair. It never has been. The tickets weigh as much as a coffin lid, as the lie that is Neil Josten. Kevin’s hand is still on top of his and his fingers tremble. Neil stares. It’s his left hand, a solid reminder of the bastion of cruelty these tickets are going to lead him to.
“I’m sorry.” Kevin whispers.
Neil barks a bitter laugh that ravages his throat and tucks the tickets into his pocket. “Yeah, me too.”Or:
Nathaniel Wesninski dies in a basement in Baltimore. Neil Josten wakes up on the bleachers in Millport. One of them still has to get Jean out of the Nest.SEQUEL TO YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN KID (YOU ALWAYS HAVE BEEN)
