Summary
When Tilda sells their house in San Jose and drags twelve-year-old Aaron across the country in a secondhand RV, Florida is supposed to mean beaches. Instead, he gets a landlocked trailer park outside Tallahassee, a starving summer, and a hidden garden behind an “abandoned” mobile home that is not abandoned at all.
This is a slow-burning coming-of-age story about hunger, bad parents, gardens, and the very weird, very stubborn friendship that forms between Aaron and Neil long before Andrew ever walks into their lives.
Or: my self-indulgent fic to answer “what if Aaron met Neil first” because everyone writes it the other way around, and I think they are meant to be friends.

Summary
They were short on time, Abram had been sick for too long, Mary had no other choice. Or maybe that's just what the twisted mother wanted to tell herself to sooth her motherly instinct-if she had any- as she abandoned her 10 year old son only 2 years after saving him and herself from his fate and that house.
After an anonymous call, the CPS took Neil into the foster-care system, placing him home after home until he finally met Cass Spear. A lady who perfectly embodied the average curly blonde, middle-aged woman look with an overly sweet personality that made every and any child she met feel safe.
Though her candy-like personality was loved by many children before him, Neil felt as though he had a constant toothache any time he got too comfortable.On the other-hand, the Spears-after Andrew's outburst, arrest and return to his maternal family, the Minyards-they decided to foster another child, one who proved to be completely mute.

Summary
“But if you ever fucking touch him again—let alone when we are both asleep—I will hurt you.”
Matt looked scared. Neil forgot they only knew him on the surface. If only they fucking knew.
“You do not touch someone without them knowing it.”
“Don’t you think you should go talk to Andrew about what he did to Matt?" Dan asked. "He always hurts people, Neil."
Neil saw red. Wait until they figured out Neil knew Andrew better than either of them ever would.
"You don’t know anything about him. You have no fucking right to come in my room and tell me what I should be doing..."Series

Nathaniel is out of the nest, but at what cost?

“You can only put him back together and hope for it to heal. That is all we can do.” Jean said, meeting Abby’s tearful eyes.Abby nodded, picking up her own thread and following Jean’s lead.
Andrew dragged a chair from the corner of the room up to where Abram’s head was resting and tried not to watch. He didn’t succeed, but he could at least say he tried. As they threaded stitch after stitch through Abram’s skin, Andrew sat with his hands folded in his lap and followed Jean’s advice to breathe. Then, he began to plan.
