    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.

    Summary

    Wymack’s voice trails off, words stuttering to an abrupt stop. All heads turn, slowly following the path of Wymack’s gaze.

    Andrew spots him almost immediately - hair as black as night, curls gentle and full atop his head. He’s got a bruise the size of a baseball around his eye, freckles spattered out around it like an explosion of stardust. His eyes are the colour of the sky, cresting with storm clouds.

    His hands are in his pockets as he walks by, fisted around something. He doesn’t look at any of them as he passes, eyes downcast.

    Andrew’s never seen him before.

    “What the hell happened to your face, Neil?” Wymack shouts, voice startling in the aftermath of silence. Neil doesn’t stop, plundering by the team and their coach without a second-glance.

    __

    In which Wymack adopts Neil at the age of 13, after the world has already chewed him up and spit him back out a few times over.

    The Foxes are still the Foxes, and Neil and Andrew are still destined to find each other.

    Summary

    Its been a while since any of the other knights have tried to raise their fists at Merlin. Mostly, he suspects ,it's because they don't want to fall out of the good graces of the Prince and for whatever reason messing with his manservant is the easiest way to do that.

    Maybe that's why the shock shakes him down to his bones when the first blow hits him square in the jaw.

    When the sharp taste of cobalt reaches his tongue he realizes just how dependent on his status he's become, he realizes just how weak he really is.
