    Summary

    A pause falls over the group that is so awkward Knox wishes the tiled floor would swallow him whole. It becomes even more awkward when Chet asks, “So, are you seeing anyone, Knox?” with such a shit-eating and self-satisfied smirk on his face that Knox wants to football tackle him into the aisle shelves.

    Seriously, fuck this guy.

    Knox felt his face heating up and opened his mouth, but before he could get out so much as a syllable about how lackluster his love life is, he found himself startling as he felt an arm wrap lazily around his shoulders.

    “Knoxious, babe, where have you been? I’ve been looking all over for you.” a familiar, uncharacteristically sweet voice says from his left that makes all of the blood rush out of Knox’s face. He felt himself going rigid, not even having to look over to know who had just come waltzing in on their conversation.

    Charlie. Fucking Charlie Dalton is trying to pass himself off as Knox’s boyfriend to Chris and her new boyfriend. God, Knox knew he should’ve said no when Charlie begged him to go to the store.

    Or: A Fake-Dating AU where Knox finds himself in situations where he has to fake-date his best friend until they fall in love

    Summary

    "It's just his shoulder! Call an ambulance, he'll be alright, it's just his shoulder!"

    As Neil was pulled into an embrace and voices he couldn't focus on drifted through his ears, he thought, Fuck. Fuck.

    He missed.

     

    Or, an AU where Neil survives his suicide attempt and his mental health is actually addressed.

    Title taken from Light from Next to Normal.

    letters to my dearest beloved by

    Summary

    My dearest beloved,
    It is with great relief that I finally write to you. I think it doubtful for my words to ever reach your ears, but spare me this chance to lend you a piece of my thoughts — and only a piece, for I must write with caution lest I be discovered.

    Neil, amidst his own internal emotional conflict, accidentally stumbles upon letters Todd had been writing in secret to an unknown recipient. Neil (an idiot) continues to intrude on Todd's privacy by reading each new letter in secret, continuously agitating over their purpose.

    Summary

    "Neil feels something in his chest light up. Like a firecracker or an atom bomb or something else that could self-destruct at any moment. It aches in a dangerous sort of way.
    'God', Neil thinks to himself as he follows Todd into the house to help him with boxes. Why had he thought being roommates with Todd was a good idea in the first place? He’s going to suffocate on these feelings; they’re getting too wedged in his windpipe. 'God, you lovesick bastard, you’re so, so stupid.' "

    Or, alternatively; a modern day university AU in which Neil lets daddy issues prevent him from telling Todd how he feels, Charlie doesn’t know how to knock, Meeks and Pitts are the only characters with brain cells, and the Neil Perry Support Group is born.
