Summary
What if Neil could shift into a cat?
Neil Josten let his cigarette burn down to the filter without taking a drag. He let his cat senses take over, his elevated sense of smell magnifying the acrid smell of the smoke that reminded him of his mother. He heard someone fumbling with the locker room door and Hernandez's footsteps as he came to join Neil on the bleachers.

Summary
“What do I get out of it?” Neil asked.
“Pardon?”
“I'm assuming I won't be playing,” he reiterated, “nearly as much as the rest of the team or not at all- and don’t try to tell me any different because I can tell from your lot,” Neil gestured to Ralph and the rest of them. “That you love to pick up lost causes. So, what do I get out of filling your line so you can throw balls to each other.”
"Oh~ I like this one." Andrew said. "Can we keep him, Coach?"
Or
Neil gets a head injury that changes his mental stability. He is put on antipsychotic that causes him to become numb. After the Foxes recruit Neil's teammate in Milport and he's at the right place at the right time, he signs as well.

Neil Josten isn't anything. Not a real person, and not an alpha, beta, or omega, either.
He's mostly just trying to stay alive.

Summary
For the first time in human history, the Heavens intervened in earthly matters to deliver a Divine Decree across the seven seas and seven continents that promised Nigh-Omnipotence for the last living Dragon and Divine Power to the human who controlled it.
The Divine Decree led to calamity for the Dragon species and after a century of Wars pushed the once-almighty creatures to near extinction, only one dragon remained: Nathan, Butcher of Life and Lord of the Skies. He belonged to the Moriyama Dynasty of the Karasu Empire and was under the control of Kengo Moriyama, allowing them to claim what the Heavens pledged.
Or so they would have if Nathan did not have a son hidden from the world.

Summary
“What are you planning on doing, Andrew?” Wymack asked him, discarding the piles of paperwork littering the desk and turning his full attention to the conversation at hand.
“Going away.” Andrew told him, lighting up a cigarette and wondering the same thing. He hadn’t figured all the details out but that could be rectified by spending a week in Columbia on his own searching for jobs and apartments. He had enough left in the bank from Tildas’ life insurance to secure a lease until he found work. The only question was where he was heading, he wasn’t interested in sticking around Columbia where he could run into his family.
“You only just got off the meds, have you thought this through?” Wymack asked, leaning back in his chair and scrubbing a hand over his thinning hair. “I know Exy has never been the endgame for you, but I thought you’d stick around for the degree.”
Andrew shrugged carelessly. A degree didn’t mean anything unless you had plans to use it and Andrew wasn’t that committed to his future. “Sorry, coach. Exy just isn’t what I needed it to be any longer."
-Neil was never recruited to the Foxes. Now Andrew must face the world without his drugs and he's not impressed.

Summary
He pressed a shaking hand to the boiling hot blood drenching his clothes. He was shivering so bad his teeth clacked. Threadbare pants, layers upon thin layers, and sockless feet tucked into shoes with holes did nothing to stop the crispy cold from biting into him.
There was no thread left, but he still had a needle and tooth floss. The problem was, he was already dizzy, if he stopped now in the snow between some white suburban houses, he knew he might succumb to the cold and die of hypothermia. Some poor kid would come outside to check the Christmas snow and see a homeless teen who had bled out overnight.
...
In which Neil and Andrew are each other's sworn Guardian Angels, and they need one another at their lowest moment.

Summary
“He’s joining us earlier than we anticipated.”
“He’s a flight risk. This way there should be no more risk of him getting away from you. I’ve killed his mother. He belongs to you.”
“Six years old and already training in the Raven’s nest. He will be a player that won’t be rivaled.”
Nathaniel lives a hard life in the ravens nest, choosing Jean and Kevin's safety and happiness over his own constantly. Like the martyr he is. Then one day he is given a chance. It's a fools bet, and Nathaniel is unlikely to win it.
But he has one season to take the Foxes to championships and win.
If he doesn't, well.. he doesn't like the other options.

Summary
Andrew Minyard is a simple witch who wants simple things, for his people to be safe and to be left the fuck alone. Kevin Day and his asshole ex-coven keep his life busy enough, without the addition of the insanely powerful familiar who shows up in all his mouthy and breathtaking glory. But Riko won't let go of his power source that easily, bringing war and threat to all the Andrew holds dear.
CW: this fic talks about rape/sexual assault frequently and graphically, but there are no noncon scenes in the fic.

Summary
'Aaron should have known something was going on with Andrew when he had agreed to change their deal. It had taken Aaron months to build up the nerve to demand to be let out of it, determined to keep Katelyn no matter what. In the spring of their freshmen year at Palmetto, Aaron finally approached the subject, cornering Andrew in their shared kitchen and laying out his terms. He was not expecting Andrew’s counteroffer: sessions with Dobson once a week and an understanding that if anything happened with Katelyn, Andrew would step in.
Thoughts of Katelyn, of not having to hide her anymore, took up all the space in Aaron’s mind and he never wondered why Andrew would have relented so easily.
Looking back, it should have been obvious what was going on.'OR
5 times Aaron should have realized Andrew had somebody, and the one time he met him.Series
