Summary
The first time Neil brings it up Andrew flat out says, “No.”
Neil looks at him for a long moment before nodding decisively and going, “Alright.”
And that’s that.
But part of Andrew is — curious — maybe, so later he asks, “Why do you want one.”
“Huh?” Neil says.
“A dog. Why.”

Summary
“Neil died in Baltimore” Andrew and “The Moriyamas killed Andrew as a warning” Neil meet seven years after Neil was taken in Baltimore.
~~
It's been seven years since the Moriyamas killed Andrew and Neil slipped their leash for Japan. He's spent the time since dismantling their empire as retribution for Andrew's death. Now, more Nathaniel than Neil, he returns to South Carolina looking for something to live for.
After Neil died in Baltimore, Andrew let his apathy take over - if feeling meant an endless pit of grief, he didn't want it. After Ichirou dies and the Moriyamas fall, he wonders if anyone would notice if he dissapeared.

Summary
Neil leaned forward, lowering his voice this time. "I think I'm homophobic."
"Yeah, buddy, I heard you. Me and the rest of campus." Matt was smiling at him like usual, but this time it was more reluctant. "Do you want to expand on that?"
"No."
--
After walking in on his roommate, Andrew Minyard, kissing a guy, Neil is convinced that he must be homophobic.
He doesn't even stop to consider that perhaps he is instead jealous, and also a massive idiot.

Andrew knows that Neil is not soft, or delicate, or fragile in any sense of the word.
And, yet.

Elevator Music (But It's Just Neil Telling Everyone To Shut Up) by P234age
Fandoms: All For The Game - Nora Sakavic
05 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
Neil was just trying to leave the hotel he'd holed himself up in after being released from WITSEC two weeks ago.
Simple, right?
And while he did succeed in leaving the building, he also managed to get stuck in an elevator with the entire Palmetto State exy team, perform emergency triage on half of them, parkour a little, and possibly learned what it means to be free.
Featuring: Chaotic Foxes, Neil being the only competent person in the room, concerning head wounds, and even more concerning blondes who won't stop staring while Neil tries his best not to die in this elevator.

Detective Nicky Hemmick and The Case Of The New Neighbors by P234age
Fandoms: All For The Game - Nora Sakavic

Tags
Summary
Nicky is well aware that he might get brutally murdered for what he’s about to do, but if it all goes well, then his death will be the turning point in helping his stabby, possibly depressed cousin and his alcoholic friend find the loves of their lives, and that, to Nicky, is a cause worth dying for.
OR
Jean and Neil move in next door to The Monsters, and no one can decide if they're a couple or not. Nicky makes solving this case his personal mission, because as much fun as it is to watch Andrew and Kevin pine over the mysterious neighbors, Nicky is positive that those two aren't dating.
Positive.

He's Insisting That He's Fine (He's Not Fine) by P234age

Summary
"Andrew’s arm slides around Neil’s waist, slow enough that Neil could stop him if he wanted to. He doesn’t. He lets Andrew pull him in against his chest, one arm tight around him, solid and unyielding. Protective, though against what, Neil isn’t sure.
The heat of Andrew’s body sinks into him almost immediately, thawing some of the chill lodged deep in his bones. Neil hadn’t realized just how cold he was until now. He curls closer without thinking about it.
Andrew’s hand spreads flat against his side, slipping under his shirt carefully. “You’re freezing,” he mutters after a minute.
“It’s just cold in here.” Neil closes his eyes and adds, “But you’re warm.”
Andrew makes a quiet, irritated sound at that, but he doesn’t let go. Neil lets himself sink into the warmth instead of thinking about the blood or the pain or the way his body feels increasingly foreign to him. He focuses on Andrew’s heartbeat beneath his cheek. The steady rise and fall of his breathing. Eventually, Andrew’s grip tightens almost imperceptibly around him, like he’s afraid Neil might disappear if he loosens it too much."
OR
Neil isn't feeling well, but he's fine. Totally fine. Nothing to worry about here!

Summary
'At first, he doesn’t register what Andrew’s looking at - just the constant motion of Eden’s swallowing people whole. Then he sees them. Jean and Kevin, off to the side, not quite dancing, not quite still either.
“Huh,” Neil breathes.
Andrew’s expression shifts, tightening in what looks like annoyance. “They’re getting close,” he says, devoid of any emotion Neil could name.
Neil nods slowly, eyes still on the pair. He’s definitely going to have to tease Jean about his crush when they get home. He leans back in his chair, crossing his arms loosely. “I’ll ask Jean about it later.”
Andrew’s gaze snaps back to him. There’s a faint crease between his brows now. “You don’t seem bothered by it,” he points out.
Neil frowns. “I’m not,” he says honestly.
There’s a beat of silence, and Neil wonders if he’s said the wrong thing. Andrew’s expression smooths into something unreadable, but not before Neil catches the way his jaw clenches. His gaze flicks back to Jean and Kevin one more time, then returns to Neil. “Right,” Andrew says.'
OR
Andrew is under the impression Neil and Jean are still dating. Neil, naturally, does not realize this.

Summary
Neil channels all of his energy into looking incredibly unbothered, like getting caught crashing a wedding by the groom’s twin-slash-best man was all part of his grand plan.
The other man breaks the silence first. “Who are you?”
Stubbornly, Neil keeps his ass planted on the ground while he racks his brain for the bride’s name. Kate? Kathryn? Katie? Oh, right—“I’m Katelyn’s cousin.”
The best man tilts his head, observes Neil, and says, “No, try again.”
Fuck.
*
Neil is no stranger to crashing weddings. This one would've been a walk in the park, if not for the groom’s twin getting in his way.

Summary
Andrew has a stable life. He has a stable job, people who he doesn’t hate talking to, a cat who likes him, and a house with a door that locks. He’s fine.
But that’s the problem. He’s just fine. No more, no less. Some days, he forgets that behind the picket fences and pristine gardens are people just as messed up as him, and it feels like he’s alone in Palmetto.
Until he’s sitting at a PTA meeting, bored out of his mind, waiting to drive Renee home, when this guy steps up to the mic. And a lot changes.

Someone told Neil that Renee Walker was a good person to approach about free textbooks.
But Renee told Neil that she left the box of her old textbooks at her friend Andrew’s house, and Andrew told Neil he wouldn’t give him the box until he brought him a piece of Matt’s homemade pie, and Matt won’t give Neil a slice until he convinces Dan to go on a date with Matt, and Dan won’t go on a date with Matt until Allison gives back her lucky scrunchie…
Neil just wanted some free books.

Summary
Everybody knew about Nathaniel Wesninski. The heir apparent to the Butcher of Baltimore, the pin pulled from the grenade that exploded a criminal empire and let it crumble at his feet, stepping unscathed out of the rubble with Kevin Day - the missing Son of Exy - at his side.
So yeah, everybody knew about Nathaniel Wesninski, but Andrew sure as shit never expected to see him in his house, casually drinking a Pepsi with his brother.
Or, a high school AU where everyone knows who Neil and Kevin really are, Andrew is intrigued, and we're all trying to tell the truth here, but like...not all of it, okay?

Summary
When he wakes up he's in a car. It's not the half-reclined seat or the seat belt digging into his shoulder that immediately sets off alarm bells in his head. It's the fact that he's in a car. A moving car.
He's on his back and only has to shift his head to look at who is driving. There's a twinge in his neck as he looks to the side.
He frowns. "Neil?"- Language:

He learned about the roommate in increments. Bits and pieces.
Josten. Neil.
Maths.
He ran. At five in the morning, like a crazy person.
He didn’t bring people over. No friends, no partners, no nothing.
No wonder, Aaron said once in a passing sentence, He’s a bit of an asshole.
Or: Neil is Aaron's roommate. Andrew is fascinated even from afar.

Summary
Nicky's bringing his fiancé, which means Luther is gonna make the day hell for him. Again.
Not that Andrew cares. If Andrew cared, he'd bring someone even worse to take attention off his cousin. But he doesn't.
He has, however, been looking for a reason to talk to his definitely-criminal neighbor...
And really, what better opening line than to invite him to a family funeral?
Or: Some guy died, and the Hemmicks are holding the memorial. Nicky's bringing Erik, and Andrew needs someone to distract a small army of conservative Christians from hurting his cousin even more than they already have. The neighbor he's never talked to before seems like a reasonable choice.
