    Summary

    What if Neil's father caught up to him in Millport? What if Agent Browning had seen more of Nathaniel in Neil after Baltimore, and figured the FBI could use the help?

    OR

    Neil works for the FBI to hunt down the criminals they can’t catch, in return for staying out of jail after Baltimore. Agent Browning isn't all that good at his job, Matt just wants to be friends with his squirelly roommate, and Andrew is the first person Neil doesn't want to lie to.

    Summary

    "So far, Andrew’s heard the song on piano, cello, acoustic guitar, a goddamn bassoon, and even whistled across the crowded dining hall yesterday - which made Andrew immediately stand and search for the culprit, but to no such luck.

    This thing isn’t original. It belongs to something. Someone wrote it, put it out into the world, and Andrew missed it.

    Two weeks of this. Two weeks of hearing the same lyric-less melody echo through rehearsal rooms, courtyards, open windows. Two weeks of his perfect memory turning up nothing. No title. No composer. No words to match that achingly melancholy, and yet smiling beat.

    It’s taunting him.

    Andrew has been cursed, and he is going to find out by what song if it’s the last thing he does.

    And no, that is not overdramatic. It’s just a fact."

    Summary

    Neil didn’t mean to steal a car belonging to a local gang, and he certainly didn’t mean to steal the gang’s getaway driver, Kevin Day, along with it.

    Unfortunately for Neil, Andrew Minyard doesn’t care why he stole the car (or Kevin), just that he knew how to drive it - and honestly, who made Kevin the getaway driver, anyway?

     

    A Baby Driver AU, but it's so loosely connected that you don't need to know anything about the movie to read.

    Summary

    “It’s a little difficult to think clearly with a knife pressed to his jugular, but Neil manages to wonder if he should’ve let the FBI send him to jail instead of here.

    It makes sense, unfortunately, that after finding Neil bruised, burnt, and bleeding out on the cold cement floor of his father’s basement, Special Agent Todd Browning might have had some concerns for Neil’s health.

    Neil just didn’t expect that concern to include his mental health, too.

    Browning had offered Neil a choice that day - after listing out, like, fifty reasons why he thought Neil might benefit from some therapy.

    Life in prison or a sixty day stay in a psych ward, followed by freedom.

    Neil thought the answer was obvious, but his new roommate still hasn’t removed his blade from Neil’s throat - which Neil is now realizing isn’t actually a knife, but a razor blade taped to the butt of a toothbrush - so he’s rethinking that answer a bit.”

    Summary

    If Andrew had met Neil today, at the ripe age of twenty-five, when the dark is just the dark and not a threat, and when he doesn’t need to balance on rooftops to feel things anymore - maybe things would be different.

    Maybe better than okay.

    But he didn’t meet Neil today - he met him seven years ago as Aaron’s new friend, when the word "want" was a foreign body in his mouth, and so things are just okay.

    He is okay, and he is in love with his best friend, who isn't in love with him, and it is okay.

    Summary

    "Andrew doesn't have friends," Aaron says. Blurts, really—loud and undignified and not what he meant to say. But like a bandaid from a too-fresh wound, it tears him open. "He has things. He just doesn't like that his things"—he makes a maliciously sarcastic set of air quotes—"play nicely together without him."

    If Andrew had been carved from marble, he might have been livelier. Every inch of him now is stone, from the hard set of his jaw to the tension bunching in his thighs.

    "I'm right, aren't I?" Aaron continues. There's something dangerous in him, howling down every synapse and nerve fiber until he's shaking with it. He doesn't have it in him to leash it; not today, not freshly off the high of a potential future built on want and not binding contracts. "You can't stand that you're not in control anymore, that we might not need you."

    "You don't need me," Andrew says, voice gravel.

    "Isn't it enough to want you?" Andrew's eyes go wide, but Aaron isn't finished. "Jesus, don't you get it? It's enough for your pet striker, so why can't it be enough for your own goddamn brother?"

    What if instead of Cha Eui-jae being dropped in a dumpster after defeating the final boss in the West Sea rift, the West sea rift opens up again instead and that’s how he escapes.
    Basically a more mentally drained, and feral Cha Eui-jae, where he behaves more like the monster in the rift, and has to readjust to hunter society with the help of the top hunters in Korea. :D

    Summary

    Ten years after graduation, Aaron works as an emergency doctor in Charleston while his twin Andrew has gone pro, living with his partner Neil in Columbia. Beyond occasional texts, they haven't managed to get any closer than they were in college.
    A routine 24-hour Saturday shift becomes anything but when a John Doe with severe head trauma arrives. As Aaron fights to save him, too many details align, reminding him of a certain number 10 striker he once knew.

    OR

    "Aaron." Andrew's sharp voice forced him to focus. "What are you doing here?"

    Aaron turned to face his brother. Tried to find words.

     
    Andrew's eyes narrowed at the lack of response. "Where's Neil?"

    The question hit like a physical blow. "What?"

    "Neil." Andrew's hands clenched into fists. "He's in Charleston for some media thing with his team. You work in Charleston. You're still wearing your badge." His breathing started to shallow. "It's 6:30 in the morning. We don't do surprise visits, hell we don't even do any visits. Yet you felt the need to drive two hours to see me at dawn, right after your shift. So I'll ask one more time. Where is Neil?"

    Summary

    It doesn't make sense. Neil was fine. More than fine. He’s safe at home with Andrew, and this should be the best possible ending to one of Neil’s best days, but when Neil squeezes his eyes shut, all he can see is —

    Riko grinning with vicious pleasure as he slices Neil open. Riko’s eyes reflecting the glow of the lighter licking Neil’s skin. Riko laughing as a tattoo gun needle digs into Neil’s cheek.

    Riko, Riko, Riko, smothering and impossible to escape. Panic knifes through Neil as he yanks uselessly against the handcuffs. No, no, no —

    And then he’s saying it aloud, “No, no, no,” because there isn't a gag cutting into the sides of his mouth. Because Neil isn’t at Evermore. He’s at home with Andrew, who’s right there when Neil opens his eyes — only near the foot of the bed now, not touching Neil at all.

    Neil has long gotten used to reading the faint shades of emotion that pass for expressions on Andrew’s face. But never, not even in Andrew's medicated, manically expressive days, has Neil seen Andrew wear anything like his current look of horrified shock.

    Neil agrees to try the handcuffs in bed. It goes badly. Cue angst and h/c.

    Summary

    On a hunch, Andrew feels Neil’s forehead with the back of his hand. “You’re sick.”

    “I’m fine. Leave me alone.” Neil closes his eyes again, pulling the comforter over his head.

    Andrew pulls it back down. “You have a fever.”

    “It’s a cold.” Neil sits up slowly, painstakingly. “I just need some Tylenol and I’ll be good to go.”

    (Spoiler alert: Neil is not fine.)

    Summary

    Neil’s breath is hot and awful against Andrew’s thigh. “I can’t be sick on your birthday,” he says, like it’s that simple. “I can’t be sick on you on your birthday.”

    “How considerate,” Andrew’s voice is a bland murmur, and he is left watching Neil’s bloodless, wet lips, as he curls into Andrew’s lap.

    Neil gently pulls away after a moment, leaning back into Andrew’s hand on his neck. “Is me being sick still making you anxious?” he asks. Fever-stricken with dizzied-eyes and delirious thoughts, he knows Andrew without more than a moment beside him, a look into his eyes that makes Andrew feel undone, found.

    Or Neil is sick and Andrew isn’t coping well.

    Summary

    “What did you take?” Andrew demands.

    Neil wonders if Andrew will taste all that is wrong with Neil when he kisses him. He wonders if Andrew will recognize it. Andrew knows what it is to hurt himself, and this must be familiar. It’s deja vu, Neil thinks, if only a little bit worse, a little more terrible.

    Neil shakes his head, groaning into the toilet, “I don’t want to tell you.”

    Andrew pulls out his phone, and Neil can already hear it dialling when he says, “You can tell the paramedics.”

    Or; “Cigarettes,” Neil says. “I ate your cigarettes.”
