    Summary

    During a break over the summer, Neil and Matt decide to take a camping trip in the forests of Northern Minnesota. What begins as a normal trip quickly turns into an odd series of instances that should unsettle them more than it does. A silly, spooky short story about Neil, Matt, and Allison's friendships, relationships, and lives years into the professional Exy careers.

    Summary

    Neil gets fed up with his friends setting him up on dates with strangers, so he tells them he has a boyfriend. It's not a lie: Neil Josten has been dating professional Exy player Andrew Minyard for the past six years.

    Neil's friends don't believe him.

    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

    “Okay, well, I have a question too, then.” Neil sets his bowl on the bedside table. He doesn’t turn to look at Andrew again but he does grab one of his hands so he can play with Andrew’s fingers. “What was up with earlier? When we woke up? I didn’t realize you were that into my boobs.”

    He feels Andrew shrug. “I like them. Is that a crime, gangster boy?”

    “No, I just—I don’t know. You’ve never paid that much attention to my chest before. I was curious if there was a reason why.”

    Andrew pulls his hand out of Neil’s grip to slide it up his shirt, skimming quickly past his bare bottom half to cup his tit again. His hand fits so nicely around it, almost the perfect size match.

    Summary

    Neil woke up as himself for the first time somewhere in San Francisco with hastily done stitches in his wrists and the knowledge it was now his job to keep them alive and moving. He was little more than one alter in a system of twenty-five shadowed by lies, dead-ends, and a bloody end that they all knew was drawing closer by the day, and in one single evening, all their mom’s hard work of keeping them alive was ruined. But Neil had to keep going. It was his job to keep them moving.

    ~*~*~

    Another All for the Game rewrite but in which everything is the same except Neil has DID, so really nothing is quite the same.
