    Summary

    Neil's life isn't exactly a life except for Stuart, trying to cheer him up, and his paintings, whenever he's inspired.

    Andrew's life isn't exactly a life except for his family and his volunteering work, keeping him afloat as the time goes by.

    When Andrew stumbles into Neil's life unwillingly, both will learn one day at a time that they still have reasons to fight and dreams to fulfill.

    Another take on Artist!Neil and Bartender!Andrew full of soft and fluff.

    Summary

    For Andrew, the only downside of being blind is that he can't post his secret poems anymore, but it's just for 100 days, so he can live with that. He doesn't need help at all.

    For Neil, life is as good as it can be, but when he finds a discarded ad to help a blind boy to type on his computer, Neil will jump at the opportunity of having a normal meeting; for the first time in forever, no one will stare down at him before talking. Of course, he doesn't imagine that meeting Blind Boy will be anything but normal.

    What Andrew doesn't imagine is that with a little help, life can have colors even if his world remains black.

    Summary

    After Neil dies in Baltimore, Andrew runs away grieving, hurting, regretting that he failed, and wishing he could've saved his nothing as he promised.

    The last Andrew sees is a burst of color before appearing in a world where apparently, it's the year 2022, he's a figure skater, Aaron is a good brother, Kevin doesn't have tattoos, Betsy is his mother, and most importantly, Neil is alive.

    Now, Andrew has to decide if he will fight to return to a life of sorrow without the man he loves, or if he will grab this weird second chance by the horns and live the best life that he could ever have.

    Is it possible to find happiness in an ice rink after so much pain or is it just another pipe dream with an expiration date?

    Summary

    The first time that Andrew met Hot Guy was during his second month at High School.

    Well, met was stretching it too far. He just stared at the boy for days.

    Andrew met Hot Guy “officially” six months later, during the National Academic League.

    Hot Guy's hair was much shorter and dark blond this time. He was also a scurry math nerd that Andrew believed was only a trick from his brain.

    Because Hot Guy is real, right?

    Summary

    Kevin zeroes on the hatred and fear in Andrew’s eyes and knows that there’s no coming back from this.

    He should be terrified for what’s to come: the knives and the pain and the blood that this man who was supposed to protect him will inflict on him, but still, he is just scared for Neil, because he’s dead. 

    Nathaniel is gone.

    Summary

    The mission was simple: Nathaniel would join Astral Foxes as Neil Josten and make them part of Moriyama Music.

    In reality, Neil became real, found a home, and fell in love despite his lies.

    When the Moriyamas send the Butcher to remind Neil of his mission and Andrew's life ends on the line, Neil will have to find a way to escape his fate and bring Andrew back.

    As he gets closer to losing the man he loves the most, Neil will realize that sometimes, music is the only answer, and others, truth is the only weapon he can use.

    Summary

    When Nathaniel is trapped below Nathan in Baltimore's basement, fighting to save himself, the last thing that he expects is to see three cops who look like Andrew, Matt, and Kevin, trying to rescue him.

    This has to be the ultimate pipe dream and Nathaniel won't live enough to see how it ends.

    Summary

    The weight of the knives in his hands was as familiar as it was revolting.

    Nathaniel never intended to become his father’s successor, but here he was, on his way to Ichirou's office to get the newest assignment for the infamous New Butcher of Baltimore. 

    "Andrew Joseph Minyard. 22 years. Exy Goalie at Palmetto State University." Ichirou droned the moment that Nathaniel stepped inside his office.

    Summary

    In a world where people pay for resurrections, Neil is sick of doing it on his own.

    When he signs a contract to stay at the Foxhole Mortuary and Returnings as a Chaser, the last thing he thinks is that he will end up kidnapped by the Moriyamas because of one Andrew Minyard.

    💀💀💀

    Andrew doesn't believe in regret until it gets tangled with whatever he feels for the attractive stranger that he lost on a night out to Eden's, so it will be his personal mission to rescue Neil from the Moriyamas and protect him from his past.

    Even if he dies trying.

    Or maybe love will win?

    Summary

    Soulmates existed for as long as anyone could remember.  

    A mark on the inside of the wrist, made by tiny black blocks that shifted to reveal a name when the soulmate was close enough. 

    However, there was a downside that no one liked to speak of. 

    Every twenty years, those who hadn’t found their soulmate yet, would be turned into monsters lead by someone who wasn’t meant to have another half.  

    The army of monsters made of humans longing for something as simple as love would hunt down their Soulmate until one of them was dead. 

    But we all know that love is anything but simple and sometimes, it’s not so easy to find it when the leader of the group is seeking revenge. Even if such a pure love was meant to be from the very beginning. 

    This is a story among many. A story of true love found in the strangest of holidays: Halloween.

    Summary

    "Would you help us win? I'll give you anything."

    Anything.
    As if Neil knew what the fuck he was offering.

    Anything.
    As if trusting Andrew to not take more than what Neil could actually give.

    Anything.
    As if Andrew could believe it when he saw the lie in his eyes, as clear as a morning in Burlesca.

    And yet, Andrew took the offer and delivered without complaints.

    Summary

    This summer is bound to be the worst of Andrew's life.

    In just two months, he'll start University with a loud coach leading the Exy team, the dorm will be shared with two strangers, Aaron picked a different major, and he'll be spending their last break together with Katelyn and not Andrew.

    But when Andrew is dragged reluctantly to the county fair and finds himself facing the most beautiful Bunny Boy he could ever imagine, his world will be turned upside down beyond repair.

    This summer should never end.

    ---
    Or the AU where Andrew is soft like a cloud, Neil is sweeter than honey, and everyone got summer jobs at the county fair to provide cars, plushies, and handcuffs to this disastrous pair. What could possibly go wrong?

    Summary

    The room is dark when Kevin celebrates another win. That one was harder. Aaron can’t control turning to see as the face of the man beside him sparks with one of his true smiles. The light from the screen reflects in his eyes, and lights his profile, making his angles sharper.

    And the fucking queen tattoo. Aaron always thought it was hideous, but there is something between the dark behind them and the light in the front that makes the ink shine. Aaron is attracted to it like a bee to a flower. Or like a fly to a pile of shit. Because come on! It’s Day.

    Now, now more than ever Aaron understands what Andrew must feel for Josten. And Aaron wants to have that too.

    Summary

    Even meters away, Mary can spot the bright, chilly blue of his eyes shining like diamonds in the dim lights.

    He looks like a demon made of fire and ice cutting through the crowd on his way to where Mary is sitting. It certainly looks like he is going for her, but there is no way in heaven and hell that such a man places his eyes in tiny blonde Mary with her dull gray eyes and her small frame that has nothing to do with the exuberant girls staring as the man keeps walking their way.

    Mary turns around to see what kind of woman is behind her but finds empty spots.

    When she turns again, she is surprised by a strong chest close to her face, and a mixed scent of whisky and bergamot. 
    “Would you grant me a dance, milady?” The stranger asks a hand-stretched in Mary’s direction.

    Or, my take on how Mary and Nathan got together.

    Summary

    Carl and Bernie love Exy and are loyal followers of the Minyard-Josten rivalry.

    They are so obsessed, that when the Exy World Cup arrives, they invite their Russian friends over to witness the cruelty of the insults the small players interchange the whole time in a strange language.

    Except they don't speak a strange language.
    And they are not enemies.

    But when Carl and Bernie find out, it's already too late, and they have to keep going with the viral fuss they wake in Tik Tok.

    Will they survive Josten and Minyard's wrath for sharing their secrets with the world?
