Summary
“Marry me.”
“I’m not gonna marry you, Lynch.”
"Why not? I’m the most eligible bachelor in Rockingham County. All this could be half yours.”
“We’re eighteen.”
“Not now. When we’re like–thirty. Come on. Let’s do it. If neither of us is hitched by thirty, let’s get married.”

Summary
According to the team, Andrew is currently losing a custody battle for Neil against a sport invented by the mafia.
It’s a running joke in the locker room: Neil cares about Exy, and then, distant second, he cares about breathing. Andrew is somewhere on the list, probably below the new backliner spread Kevin found.
Andrew doesn't bother correcting them. He knows the difference between a distraction and a destination. He knows Neil runs until his lungs burn to keep the ghosts quiet, but he also knows exactly whose bed Neil crawls into when the adrenaline fades.
(Or: 5 times the team thought Neil loved the sport more than the goalkeeper, and one time Neil made the hierarchy terrifyingly clear.)

Summary
Their towels are already spread on the sand, bags and shoes placed at the corners to keep them from blowing away. Neil is sitting with his knee pulled close to his chest, staring out at the water, seemingly fine, but Andrew knows better. He always does. Neil wouldn’t have even noticed anything was wrong, if Andrew didn't suddenly press his palm against the back of his neck.
“Your mother is dead,” Andrew says, detached and even. “But you are alive.”
Neil and Andrew take a needed trip away to the coastline. The soft sand and salty air stir up more memories than either of them hoped it would.

Summary
“Shit,” Neil gasps as Andrew kisses against his collarbone, licks a stripe up the side of his neck, before pressing one last kiss against his mouth. “Well, this is already very different from my past experiences.”
Neil is nearly breathless. Andrew mentally pats himself on the back. Take that, Brandon.
“So, he kissed you,” Andrew says. He means to sound authoritative, self-sure, but it’s lost somewhere in the rawness of his throat. “What else.”
*
Neil going on dates isn’t necessarily a new occurrence anymore, but Neil kissing Andrew is.

Summary
The day after Neil disappeared in the middle of the night, Kevin called.
Andrew stared at his phone as it rang. He was in the process of opening a can of cat food, which was a two-handed activity. He set down the can opener and picked up the phone.
“What,” he said.
“You were fucking Nathaniel Wesninski?”
Andrew knew Neil’s real name, and he knew where he had come from. He’d known since the beginning. Neil was a good liar, but he was an obvious liar. Andrew didn't mention any of that to Kevin. Instead, he said, “Who?”or: andrew quits smoking, and he goes to the olympics. eventually, neil comes back.

Summary
“And when he’s gone?” Andrew asked.
Then I’m gone too, Neil thought, but didn’t say. There likely wouldn’t be any reason for Neil to run, but he was going to, anyway. Everyone looking for him would be dead or in jail by the time the FBI was done, but Neil had never been taught to stay in one place. He wasn’t sure if he even knew how. All Neil knew how to do was disappear.
“I’ll be alone, I guess,” Neil said with a shrug.
“Lucky you,” Andrew said. He flicked his cigarette butt off the roof and onto the sidewalk below them.
“Yeah,” Neil said. He stubbed his cigarette out on the sole of his shoe and tossed it over the side of the building after Andrew’s. “Lucky me.”or: neil is an insomniac. andrew is going to beijing. they aren't supposed to meet, but they do anyway.

Summary
"I’m here because of Neil’s stellar recommendation,” Kevin says.
Andrew raises a brow at Neil. “Neil hasn’t even seen his completed suit yet. How can he possibly be giving me a stellar recommendation already?”
Neil flushes slightly. "That doesn't matter," he says, almost defensive, a light smattering of pink dusting his cheeks and the tip of his nose. Fuck, Andrew likes that.

Andrew has a new client. It's business as usual, until it's not.

Summary
Andrew tightens his grip on his gun, positions himself to intercept Nathaniel, then promptly blanks out because what the fuck.
He had read through Nathaniel’s profile: Auburn hair, blue eyes, 5’3”, slim build, scarring along face and arms.
What his profile failed to mention is that Nathaniel is unfairly, brutally attractive. Andrew wasn’t even aware that someone could be this attractive, that someone’s eyes could be this many shades of blue, that someone could have a jawline so sharp it makes Andrew want to punch straight through a wall.

Five times Andrew tries to kill Neil and the one time he doesn’t try at all.

Summary
As if on cue, the baby monitor crackles to life, transmitting a few baby-type coos in static hisses and pops. Andrew pulls back as Neil lets out a displeased whine, his hands dropping from Andrew’s shoulders.
Neil blinks, confused, like he’s never heard a baby cry before in his life. Then it registers. “Oh, right, Maddy.”
“Oh right,” Andrew mocks as he peels back the covers, pushing off the bed, already missing Neil’s warmth. “I’ll check on her.”
*
Andrew and Neil offer to babysit their niece, experiencing the many difficulties of parenting firsthand. One difficulty stands out above the rest: the lack of alone time.

Summary
“I knew what I was getting into when I chose to be Neil Josten,” he continues, squeezing Andrew’s hand. “I wouldn’t change a thing.”
It’s not a lie, but Andrew studies him for a long moment, as though he’s trying to gauge the truth of Neil’s words. He nods. “Good, because you can’t. Your life is chock-full of exy. That’s all you need anyway, junkie.”
“And you,” Neil says, a glint in his eye. “I also have you.”
*
Neil finds himself thinking about the past. Andrew is his only constant, and he wouldn't change it for anything.

Summary
His phone buzzes again, and Lan Zhan picks it up this time. To his surprise, it's a message from the Blood Bank.
The Blood Bank was a way for him to make money faster, beyond his usual teaching job, to help his mother. He tried not to think too much about the fact that there were random faceless vampires feasting on his blood.
Frowning to himself, Lan Zhan clicks the message.
"You have been selected as a special provider for a very prestigious client! The Yiling Laozu has chosen you to be a part of his regular collaborators!"
Lan Zhan raises an eyebrow when he sees the name.
Very few vampires are known amongst humans, because they keep well hidden, but Yiling Laozu is one of the most well-known ones.
-
Lan Zhan's blood gets the attention of a vampire who is well known to the entire world for his creations: Yiling Laozu. At the same time, a beautiful man he meets on a rooftop tries flirting with him, his aura strangely alluring.
