Summary
five years ago, neil josten made a promise to never take another role again - even if that meant losing himself.
but now, with his co-star andrew minyard at his side, and a new family behind him, he begins to think maybe getting better isn't so impossible after all.
(two love stories: one fictional on-screen, and one real off-screen).

Summary
“You could’ve come to me”, Matt says. “I was still in the dorm. I could’ve taken you.”
Neil frowns. “Taken me where?”
That seems to stop them in their tracks. Matt huffs a nervous laugh, says, “The ER?”

Neil shrugged. "I don't like sweet things." As an afterthought, he continued, "That's why I like Andrew, he's salty as fuck."

Summary
Over the years, Neil had to find ways to distract himself from the horrors of his life and so it was expected that he had a list of things to do. The most common being to focus on his soul marks.
Years ago, up until Neil was fourteen, the marks would show up all the time. Painless bruises and cuts, scars and scratches. They would appear for twenty-four hours before vanishing, despite his soulmate still baring them.
Now they were much rarer. A scratch now and again from average clumsiness. A bruise from playing sports perhaps.
They used to be much more sinister. Hand marks in the wrong places. Scars too neat to be accidental.
There was someone out there for Neil. Someone to hope for.
Maybe they were hoping for him too…
--
Neil has lived his entire live in solitary abuse. But now, with his mother dead and his father in prison, he has a shot at a 'normal' life when the Reynolds family adopt him.
(A Highschool AU and a Soulmate AU merged into one! Hope you enjoy!)

Summary
Neil Josten and Andrew Minyard have been best friends since they were small. But attending college halfway across the country from each other has strained their relationship, and Andrew won’t take it anymore — as soon as term is over, they’re going on the road trip of a lifetime.
Andrew can absolutely handle spending the entire summer with Neil in the passenger’s seat, sharing hotel rooms and cigarettes and diner booths. Because he’s definitely not in love with him.
It’ll be fine.Series

Being So Normal by orphan_account for DeyaAmaya

Summary
Andrew has a stable life. He has a stable job, people who he doesn’t hate talking to, a cat who likes him, and a house with a door that locks. He’s fine.
But that’s the problem. He’s just fine. No more, no less. Some days, he forgets that behind the picket fences and pristine gardens are people just as messed up as him, and it feels like he’s alone in Palmetto.
Until he’s sitting at a PTA meeting, bored out of his mind, waiting to drive Renee home, when this guy steps up to the mic. And a lot changes.

Summary
Andrew is going through life relatively untouched—doing so happily until one day, while enjoying the anonymity that the Foxhole coffee house offers, he feels eyes on him. Neil is a walking cliche that Andrew should stay away from but is determined to stay close to. When Neil asks him to help him with an art project, Andrew finds himself saying okay. The catch is the prompt for the project: to expose the subject. Andrew is determined to figure Neil out before Neil figures Andrew out, but will either man like what they find?
In participation with "AFTG Big Bang 2017."

Summary
Jean asks for a favor. Neil finds himself at the center of a territorial squabble. It's him. He's the territory.
“But why me?”
“You are my only good option. Aaron is straight. Andrew is rabid. Allison and Seth are on and off so often it’s impossible to keep track. Dan and Matt are a couple and getting them both to agree to pretend to date me would be harder. Renee doesn’t like men. Katelyn is lovely but Aaron would be angry. I don’t know which of the others started or stopped dating over the summer. That leaves you."
“What about Kevin?”
Jean scoffs. “You cannot be serious.”
“He’s…” What is Kevin? Not any better at telling Riko ‘no’ than Jean is, and, subsequently, probably not great at lying to him. Also, is it really believable that Kevin would jeopardize the team and their athletic careers by shitting where he eats? Probably not. Kevin’s amended hierarchy of needs just has the word EXY at the base. Somewhere far above that are pedestrian concerns like ‘food’ and ‘water’ and ‘shelter.’
“Taller,” Neil finishes lamely. “He’s taller.”
