Summary
“Come on,” Neil said, stepping backwards. He took Jean’s hand again and this time Jean let him. “It’s ok. Choose life, Jean.”
This didn’t feel like choosing life. Jean stepped forward, and chose Neil.

Summary
“Is this another attempt at emotional manipulation?” Neil asked, mid-chew on a still-warm muffin.
Bee didn’t look up from her crossword. “Would it be working?”
He paused. Swallowed. “Maybe.”

Summary
The job had seemed simple enough: available at all times to escort Andrew Minyard wherever he needed to go, keep the paparazzi away, and to not let anyone touch him. Neil was good at his job, but anyone would start to crumble under the pressure of sleeping with their boss, especially when said boss is one of the most popular exy players in the league.
Not to mention Neil’s past, which keeps threatening to consume him.

Summary
In which Neil contemplates what it's like to be in a spot where it's not only about survival anymore, the bare minimum to keep going, day-to-day or even hour-to-hour like Neil lived so much of his life with his mother. But what he needs — what they both need — not to just live any life at all...
but a comfortable one.

Summary
“Still here?” Andrew asks Neil mildly.
“He just helped us win the game, you ass,” Nicky says through a laugh. Neil doesn’t pay attention to Nicky. Andrew isn’t teasing. He’s asking, Where is your head right now? Are you here, or are you in Baltimore; Evermore; an overcast beach in California?
Neil points at the ground. I’m right here.

Summary
Two little eyes look up at him, wide and slowly blinking from within Katelyn’s arms. The child is in a white blanket, wisps of blonde hair on it’s head and a toothless mouth opening and closing. Andrew remembers Kevin telling him the name is Hope.

Summary
Sirius studied Remus’ face. He was curious what he thought of all of this, the only one of them who didn’t have a mark– theoretically– and the only one with a muggle parent. Muggles didn’t get marks, he knew. If Remus’ parents were soulmates, then they wouldn’t know it. He wondered if there was a way to tell, though. If they could just feel it, somehow, even without the help of some magical fate.
Because it seemed like something you would just know, just from being near someone, from being close enough to them, from being in the same space. Like their souls would attract like magnets or like water droplets traveling down a window, waiting to merge until the last moment when they realized they were on the same path, and then they’d become one.
Was that fate, Sirius wondered?
He realized Remus was staring back at him, his eyes puzzled and curious and warm.
Sirius looked away first and didn’t look back, pushing down something heavy and impossible in his chest.

Summary
He wasn’t getting up.
Neil’s teammates were shaking his shoulder and pulling off his helmet. Exposed to the camera, Neil’s skin was waxy and pale. With his eyes shut and his body limp, he looked painfully young.
The medics forced the players away and were taking his pulse.
He wasn’t getting up.
Andrew’s blood turned to ice as memories of Neil, pale, unconscious, and bandaged in a hospital bed, came flooding into his mind.

Summary
His mind was built to be a void. He’d crafted himself into an impenetrable fortress, allowing only the barest of necessary thoughts. Promises he’d made, protection he’d offered. There was no need to think past that, if he did, he wouldn’t be able to survive. At seven, he’d learned to push together poorly constructed walls in his mind. He didn’t know why, he just knew he had to. Over time, those walls grew stronger and stronger, stronger than the rough skin of his forearms.
Not even a wrecking ball could destroy him.
Neil Josten was not a wrecking ball.
Neil Josten was a fucking crack.

Summary
Love was supposed to be tangible–a thing of expression, a moment of touch or tenderness, a softly spoken I love you.
Andrew didn’t love anything–that was a word that didn’t exist in his vocabulary.
Sometimes, though, he didn’t hate Neil.
Dangerous.

Summary
Neil bunched the raincoats together and squeezed the excess water down the drain. He knew that someone else was in one of the stalls, but he didn’t pay them any attention until he heard sniffling, as if they were holding in tears. Neil dropped the raincoats in the sink and wiped his hands on his jeans, peeking under the stall to confirm that yes, it was a crying child.
In which Andrew and Neil frequently go to the library, adopt a kid, and eat Dairy Queen. But not necessarily in that order.
