    Summary

    Alternative AU where Andrew escapes Drake’s abuse at fourteen and finds a not-so-temporary home with David Wymack.

    Without spoiling too much, the story will touch on some very heavy topics such as sex trafficking, rape, and its aftermath. However, the story mainly focuses on Andrew’s healing throughout and asks the question of who Andrew could have become if he had never gone to juvie or been put on court-mandated medication.

    Andrew will not be portrayed as a psychopath like some stories choose to portray him, but rather as a character who went through hell and is trying his best to survive it. The story will mainly focus on Andrew and Wymack’s relationship, as well as his gradual friendship with the Exy players and his growing love for the game. Neil and the other Foxes will appear later in the story, so if you’re looking for a major Andreil focus, this probably isn’t the story for you.

    Lots of hurt, but also lots of comfort, because Nora really likes putting her characters through the worst and we all need a little comfort afterward.
    (Btw, the title is a reference to “I Was Just a Kid” by Nothing But Thieves.)
