Hi! Could I request TBD for WIP Wednesday if I’m able?

11/20/24 WIP Wednesday (Closed) | TBD AU

It feels so strangely similar to the immediate aftermath of Baltimore. Andrew can’t stand the thought of Neil leaving his field of vision and if he has to close his eyes he wants Neil’s rough scarred hand in his. Neil stays with him and Andrew doesn’t even comment on all of the staring Neil does since Andrew has been staring right back at him.

Eventually Andrew’s released with a clean bill of health but there isn’t a single part of him that’s ready to deal with his brother or sister-in-law yet. Thankfully Neil seemed to have understood that as he asks Andrew for the key to his house. 

Andrew hesitates on giving it to him until Smith shows up asking if there’s anything in particular he should pack for Andrew.

Ghost Foxes AU - 01

Have seen a couple of snippets of 'Ghosts' the tv show, and now i cant get the thought of all of the foxes being Ghosts and Neil ending up moving in there.

The house is the Baltimore house which Neil grew up in, the one where his father and mother had been in at one point, a place that Neil wants nothing to do with, and is desperate to get rid of. He can't however, when he realizes that he is not alone. When he realises that so many innocent souls are stuck there, and if they don't end up leaving, they will perish.

He isn't a good man, he just doesn't want countless ghosts following after him after the house is demolished, doesn't want to die only to be surrounded by spirits that have been waiting for him to give his last breath, it's absolutely not because he feels somewhat guilty.

The first time he sees one of them is when he is in the basement, fighting for his life at the hand of his father. He sees a ghost, a woman in her mid thirties, telling him to hold on, that he will be alright. He sees another man with tribal tattoos, telling him that he believes him, that he didn't survive through all the sh*t he went through just to give up then.

And Neil does make it.

He makes it, is carried off to the hospital and barely makes it on time.

But it doesn't change the fact that he makes it.

He is only 16 when that happens, and for 2 years he wishes to have nothing to do with the house, but when it is requested of him to return back there and to go through his mother's stuff he ends up agreeing only for his uncle's sake.

His mother has more stuff than he had thought, and there are also stuff that had once belonged to other victims of Nathan's, which he finds himself feeling somewhat responsible of.

So he stays, at first planning on staying only for a night or two, but ends up staying far longer than he had planned in the end.

At first, he sees them like flickers of light and nothing more. Their faces growing clearer only when they finally find peace by Neil letting know their families of what happened. Of Neil handing over their remains to their families.

It is only after all the lost spirits, the vengeful ones, those that had fallen at the hands of Nathan, that he finds himself able to catch sight of the others.

That he is able to see the foxes.

The first one he meets is Abby, whom he is unable to remember for such a long time because the night at the basement had been rough and he had blocked off memories from back then, even if he hadn't done it intentionally.

Abby is amazing, and somewhat keeps the other ghosts away for a while.

She is there after each nightmare so are almost all of the others, but Neil doesn't know at first, and at some point she will end up becoming something akin to a mother.

Nicky is the second one, a bundle of energy that get Neil used to having others around, and there to help him get not-so-lost in his head at the end of the day. He also manipulates Neil's dreams every now and then too, shows him of softer things, of fields free of anything but flowers, of the sunrise, of an exy field that is endless.

He blocks out Neil's demons as much as he can, even though it means that they get plastered in his own mind instead.

Allison, surprisingly enough, is the third ghost Neil meets, followed by Seth and Dan and Matt. They care for him, in a way that no one else has, they have seen his scars, have witnessed him get them and someone of them had even tried to stop Nathan more than his mother ever had.

Neil is at first uncomfortable by their love, but slowly grows accustomed to it.

The next ghost he meets is Wymack, and he breaks apart when he meets the man, when his eyes land on the tattoos on his wrists because he remembers the man, not only from the basement back then, but also from sleepless nights that were only made bearable by the presence of Wymack who told him countless stories and is the reason that his obsession with exy began in the first place.

(Had to get these ideas written down somewhere before i ended up losing all of it, have so many more ideas for this au but this post is getting quite long so will probably make a second post about it, feel free to send me asks <3)

Once the foxes become more comfortable with each other, they begin to nag. Mostly little things, usually humorous things. They nag on Nicky for being too forward sometimes. They nag on Neil for his horrible life habits. They nag on Dan for her mother henning. They nag on Kevin for everything. It's fun, it's what families do. They all just pick on each other for fun.

It takes a little longer for them to feel comfortable nagging Andrew though, which, is understandable, but one of the first things they start picking on him for is his lack of communication in general. He NEVER talks. They just want him to participate sometimes.

Renee and Neil find this funny because Andrew talks A LOT just not around the foxes. He's not comfortable.

See, Andrew is fucking weird. Everyone knows this, but the foxes think he's weird in a “mysterious, murder you in your sleep, was totally the kid everyone thought was going to shoot up the school” kind of weird.

Andrew is not that kind of weird. He's a different breed entirely. He plans out how he'd survive the apocalypse, any of them. He is constantly fighting back the most wild intrusive thoughts. He is 24/7 existential crisis. His head is a wild fucking place.

But he is trying. Making progress. Trying to be more open and approachable, as Bee says. So he talks. Out Loud.

And the foxes hate him.

In the most monotonous voice ever

“Do you ever feel like your bones are dirty? Like, I could totally strip my meat suit and just give my ribs a good bleaching.”

“If that light fell out of the ceiling it would kill at least three of you and seriously injure the rest of us.”

“Nothing is stopping me from buying five ice cream flavors at once, but I'm learning self-control and Bee would be disappointed.”

“Currently having a manic episode. Should I A.) call Bee, tell her I'm not doing too great, and talk about my symptoms and how to best cope? B.) find the nearest mall and spend every dime I have in less than thirty minutes. Or C.) go apeshit and try to fight anyone and everyone who looks at me in a less-than-kind way. Children included.

*stage whisper* there's a secret fourth option but I'm saving it for later ;) (pronounced Semicolon left facing open parentheses. Yes he says this out loud)”

disappears for less than five minutes and comes back with three furrbies and a corndog, one that is obviously not from the mall's food court.

He's so fucking weird. Like, weirder than Neil, and it's awful (so good dude, the foxes eat it up)

And it's not the manic Andrew on meds. It's just Andrew. He's still Andrew. He's still quiet most of the time and he is still grumpy and apathetic, but he's also comfortable enoughto just blurt random shit out and have fun watching everyone figure out how to respond. He's found safety in his new family and he can openly be who he is without fear of judgment or rejection. He's happy in a way he's never felt nor ever thought he'd get to experience. He's just Andrew.

Andrew:

Andrew: I hereby sentence you to death.

11/20/24 WIP Wednesday (Closed) | TBD AU

Two hours later Smith shows back up to drive them back to Smith’s house. Dion crowds him the moment he’s out of the van asking a thousand questions.

He reaches out and ruffles his dark hair, “You really scared uncle Neil.” Dion says as he giggles under Andrew’s hand.

“I’ll try not to make a habit of it,” Andrew says.

“Good! I don’t like doing dishes so you have to be healthy.” He says with a child’s logic that Andrew doesn’t quite understand. He looks at Neil who blushes.

“Dion did my dishes so that I could go to bed,” He explains looking down at Dion. “Thank you again for that.”

Ghost Foxes AU - 03

For the longest time, the Foxes have no idea that Neil makes it. His heart stops in the basement just as the paramedics arrive, and they manage to get it beating once more.

And then it stops once again in the ambulance, before they go past the line that the ghost's are forced to stay in, and the ghosts are forced to watch as the ambulance carries away the half dead boy away.

So yeah, for a couple years they are made to believe that the boy, little Nat didn't make it, think that his soul probably ended up getting stuck on the hospital grounds.

But then a couple of men come in, talking about a man named Neil Josten will come in to look through the belongings of the old residents, that he will decide what will be done to the house.

And Neil Josten doesn't look anything like Nat once did, where as Nat used to be a redhead Neil is a brunet, and while Nat had had blue eyes Neil has brown ones.

And his face looks is devoid of any scars.

They feel angry at first, disappointed and angry, that this nobody is going to decide their fate, but all the bitter feelings they carry for Josten disappears when they recognize small habits of the young man, when they finally look at him and see the young boy that Nat had once been.

And it's too much.

It's a relief, that their boy made it.

But it also feels somewhat cruel, that he ended up having to come back to the house after all that he had been through.

Even crueler that the boy is able to see the silhouettes of all the people that Nathan had killed, even more because Nathan and his man return on the day that they had died in the basement.

Nat is unable to see them at first, the foxes looking like all of the other ghost's do, mere silhouette's, so they decide to leave him alone till the other ghosts leave. Leave the young man to deal with the vengeful ghosts, the ones that are not aware that they are dead, those that died at the hand's of the butcher.

It is when they leave and the house is more comfortable, no longer covered by dark spiritual aura that they show themselves to the boy.

It leaves them feeling bitter that he doesn't remember them at first, but it's alright. They don't need him to remember them, just being able to be there for the kind boy is enough for them. But when he does start to remember, a lot of tears end up being shed.

(once again, feel free to ask whatever you want about this au - or any other au of mine. i really enjoy answering any kind of asks.)
