    Summary

    There's many things about the past Neil chooses to leave behind, and most of the time it's for the best. For some reason though, his brain can't help but cling to the last memories of him.

    "My Ex." Neil bites his tongue at the word, because it never feels right. At this point, so many years later, that man is no one. A stranger. He shouldn't presume to know him anymore than his ex should presume to know Neil.

    If he remembers Neil at all.

    But Neil should know better than anyone that the past always has a way of catching up to him, and this time, he's not as willing to run as he might've initially thought.

    Summary

    Neil hasn’t had the chance to examine the feeling of fear in a long time. He’s all too familiar with it though; from the nightmares, to the memories of a cold basement floor, he knows the feeling like the back of his hand.

    But this fear is new, loaded with ridiculousness and a complete lack of reason. It’s nothing more than pixels on a screen, far away theories that can’t hurt him like his past can.

    Maybe that’s why he’s beginning to not mind it as much. It doesn’t hurt that Andrew is also there to hold him through it.

    Summary

    Neil didn’t know how many languages they imagined he spoke, let alone with any degree of fluency, but he still caught them off-guard—even after they promised he couldn’t surprise them again if he tried.

    (“Nothing tops being a secret mob baby,” Allison had told him. “Nothing tops sleeping with Andrew,” Nicky countered. He dodged the ensuing knife swipe just in time.)

    Or, without secrets to keep, Neil has no reason to hide the talents a life on the run has given him.
