I was so excited to see the first chapter of pretty boy on ao3! I would like to request some more :))

1/1/25 WIP Wednesday (CLOSED) | Pretty Boy

Andrew’s hand moves before he can second-guess it. He reaches for Neil’s ear, wanting to stop the bleeding he’s caused and Neil flinches from his hand. Andrew doesn’t only retract his hand, he takes a full step back from Neil in that moment.

Neil blinks at the sudden distance, “Andrew?”

He can hear his own heartbeat in his ears again, everything in him is primed to get out of this situation as fast as possible. He’s a danger to Neil and he needs to-

“Andrew. Don’t run away from me.” Neil stands up, hand no longer pinching his ear and Andrew can see the blood running down the side of his face again where there was already a trail.

Can I get four of those horse men, please?

1/1/25 WIP Wednesday (CLOSED) | Four Horsemen

“What, so Andrew’s is made with gay thread?” Aaron asks rolling his eyes as he grabs the one on the left.

“No,” Andrew rolls his eyes and takes his tuxedo out of his cousin’s hands. “My tuxedo is fitted to me, yours is fitted to you. It isn’t that complicated Aaron.” Andrew says.

“But we’re identi-” Aaron pauses and looks between the two of them.

Andrew and Aaron are identical, but they no longer live their lives identically. All the time that Aaron has spent working to become a doctor, pouring over medical textbooks, drowning himself in coffee to have the energy to go to class, and eating whatever he could get his hands on?

Andrew was at the gym, against his will.

desperately need more pretty boy

“Yeah,” Neil says but makes no move to stem the flow. Andrew can’t stand it any longer so he grabs the hand towel and takes a step towards Neil, his hand hovering for a moment by Neil’s ear as he turns to look Neil in the eye and ask- “Yes, Andrew.” 

Andrew scowls but doesn’t waste time bringing his covered fingers to Neil’s ear and pinching the spot where it’s bleeding.

He presses down firmly and Neil doesn’t flinch this time but Andrew can hardly find any solace in it when Neil’s prepped himself not to flinch this time. Andrew could have pulled out his knives and stabbed Neil with them and the asshole wouldn’t have flinched just to prove a point.

His knives…

pretty boy please!

He wants to clean it up, like he had months ago after that glass bottle had shattered onto the other side of Neil’s head.

“You’re getting blood onto the floor.” Andrew says instead.

“Yeah, well at least this is tile. If you run out of here because I flinched for half a second then I’ll get it all over the carpet.” Neil threatens.

It’s an empty threat, more Neil’s desperation to keep Andrew here than anything. It isn’t that Andrew doubts that Neil would get blood on the carpet, it’s that Neil knows that Andrew can get blood out of anything.

pretty boy pls 🙏🙏

1/1/25 WIP Wednesday (CLOSED) | Pretty Boy

Andrew doesn’t run, but he doesn’t take another step closer.

Neil, as he is known to, plays dirty. “What were you reaching for?” he asks, blood still dripping down his ear to his neck and onto the shirt that Andrew had given him to wear hours ago. Andrew feels his eyes continuously drawn to the injury and he can see the notch in Neil’s ear.

They should go to the hospital and get stitches. It’ll heal properly if they pull the skin back together and the scar won’t be as noticeable. Andrew will always know it’s there, it will always bother him. No, selfishly he wants Neil to get stitches so that Neil might forget about how he got this scar. So that Neil won’t remember what caused him to flinch away from Andrew’s hand.

“You’re still bleeding.” Andrew points out, as if Neil was unaware.

Math nerd please xx

Neil opens his mouth but shuts it before he says anything. Matt sees his friend turn to Andrew with a pleading expression.

Andrew looks at him in consideration, “Roof.” He says taking a few steps forward and with Neil’s nod Andrew grabs him by the wrist. Matt watches as Neil’s shoulders droop in relief as he follows behind Andrew and leaves the rest of the Foxes in their wake.

Nicky pokes his head out as Andrew and Neil walk past their still open dorm room, headphones on as he pulls one headphone off of his ear, “Oh, those two going to go make out on the roof or something?” he asks, completely misreading the mood.

“Or something.” Seth says with a displeased look on his face.

Happy new year! With tax season only a few months away, I'd like to request more math nerd😁

1/1/25 WIP Wednesday (CLOSED) | Math Nerd AU

“Andrew, I’ll be fine. Riko can’t really hurt me. Go do your Christmas plans, you wanted to check out the new M&M store, remember?” Neil’s voice takes on a quality that one would not find out of place in a horse stable.

“Neil, you don’t need to go at all. Just come with us to New York City.” Kevin pleads, stepping further into the conversation.

“If I don’t go then there won’t be anyone who can watch Jean’s back. He doesn’t have a choice.” Neil says.

“Jean will be fine, they won’t hurt him. They know he’s a main family asset.” Kevin dismisses and Neil stares at him as if Kevin has grown a second head.

Happy new year!! Hope 2025 is wonderful for you! And could I ask for math nerd please? 🥰

1/1/25 WIP Wednesday (CLOSED) | Math Nerd AU

For a moment it looks like Neil’s going to pass out in the hallway after Kevin dismisses Jean Moreau’s safety. Hand going to his forehead as if staving off a terrible headache as he takes a deep breath.

“Neil?” Kevin takes a step forward, hand outstretched in concern.

“It’s fine, just…” Neil waves off Kevin’s concern. “Just…a bit of a headrush for a second there. I’m fine.”

It takes everything in Matt not to groan when Neil says the most hated two words that can be uttered in Palmetto.

Pretty boy :)

1/1/25 WIP Wednesday (CLOSED) | Pretty Boy

Andrew has slept with them on him for almost as long as he’s had them. The knowledge that he’s armed always brings Andrew some comfort when he’s dropping off to sleep. He knows that no matter what happens he can do something to defend himself.

But he hadn’t defended himself tonight.

He looks at the bags under Neil’s eyes, feels his blood between his fingers as he keeps count of the seconds, and thinks about what Neil had looked like staring up at him. Wonders if Neil had seen Andrew in that moment, or if all he saw was Nathan.

“I’m not sleeping with the knives anymore.” Andrew declares.

Neil looks at him in confusion before he nods, not questioning Andrew’s decision and maybe glad for it. Andrew doesn’t let himself dwell on it more than that, if Neil wants to tell him about how he felt then Neil will do that in his own time.

Happy New Year 🎉

Can I request some Math Nerd?

1/1/25 WIP Wednesday (CLOSED) | Math Nerd AU

“Andrew you can’t come either,” Neil’s tone has shifted from mocking, to sincere, and now it is downright serious. “It’s only two people to a room at Evermore.”

“So? I can sleep in a room alone. I’m not like Kevin where I freak out if I don't have someone breathing in the same room as me while I sleep.” Andrew scowls

“Hey! I don’t need it anymore, I sleep just fine on the couch at your place in Columbia.” Kevin argues.

“It isn’t safe for you to be alone in a room at Evermore!” Neil shouts and there’s a wild look in his eyes as he says it. He seems to realize that he’s lost control of his emotions quickly as he swallows thickly and takes a few more deep breaths, leaning more heavily onto the wall.

“Why wouldn’t it be safe for Andrew to room alone? He can definitely take care of himself.” Matt says, trying to re-enter the conversation.

New Kings, most amazing writer? Happy New Year!

1/1/25 WIP Wednesday (CLOSED) | New Kings AU

Well too bad for Allison, he’s not a natural blonde, just a bottle one. 

He grabs his phone and makes a call to the only authority that matters in the desolate wasteland that is the Palmetto Tower. 

“Seth, dude what’s up?” Reggie the RA of their floor greets and Seth can hear that he’s already enjoying a buzz.

“Dude, I need you to get me out of my dorm. My team has barricaded me in.” Seth explains.

“Wait…what? Why would they do that?” Reggie asks but Seth can hear him shuffling about, likely pulling on pants for the first time today.

can i ask for smithy for my first wipw ask of the year? also ily happy new year! <333

1/1/25 WIP Wednesday (CLOSED) | Fluent Freshman

If Smith cannot see Captain Neil’s icy blue eyes staring into his soul then he will not be bewitched into agreeing.

“Smith,” Captain Neil’s voice has a pleading quality to it and Smith can’t help but open his eyes to look at his captain, even knowing that it would make declining all the harder. “You treated Jackson like his own person, not like a Gordon timebomb.” 

“He is his own person.” Smith returns quickly, trying to look at Captain Neil and also through Captain Neil. Maybe if he focuses hard enough he can just see the airport behind Captain Neil. He can’t though, he can’t and he needs to look Captain Neil in the eye when he says this, “I do not want to be the Vice-Captain of the Foxes.” he says, managing to keep his voice even as he stares his hero in the eyes and disappoint him on purpose.

It’s sad that it’s also probably the bravest thing that Smith’s done in his entire life. He’s including the sex alley in that tally. He almost wants to get on the phone and call Betsy about it.

He manages to refrain, if only because Captain Neil is still looking right at him with those big blue eyes.

Happy new year!!! My resolution is to read some four horseman 🫶

1/1/25 WIP Wednesday (CLOSED) | Four Horsemen

“Auggh, I guess we all must suffer when we do what we must for glamor.” Nicky says, collapsing into a fainting couch like the southern belle he was clearly born to be as he dramatically throws his arm over his eyes.

“So, our tuxedos?” Aaron points at the two, “Doesn’t matter who picks what, right?”

“Nope, there are specific ones for the two of you.” Nicky shoots up so quickly that Andrew doesn’t know how he doesn’t barf from the sudden shift, before remembering that his cousin was the self-proclaimed king of being hungover. No one could brute force their way through drinking-induced nausea like Nicky Hemmick.

FOUR HORSEMEN PLEASE

1/1/25 WIP Wednesday (CLOSED) | Four Horsemen

“Surprised you didn’t get a veil, if only for the drama of it.” Aaron says idly as he looks at the suit. Nicky was incredibly secretive about his plans on what he was going to wear to his wedding, not letting anyone except Erik’s mother in on what he was doing. Even that was due to the fact that she was a master seamstress and was going to do the alterations for him.

“Aaron,” Nicky whines out the name into around ten syllables. “Why didn’t you come up with that idea before? I would have loved for Erik to have to reveal me!” He says.

“You wouldn’t even confirm you were wearing clothes to the wedding, hard to make suggestions.” Andrew says idly.

“I’d like to see you try!” Allison calls back and Seth puts his shoulder into moving the dresser.

The dresser does not move, no matter how he pushes it.

It shouldn’t be a weight thing, he can lift it fully loaded with all of Allison’s Fall and Winter clothing. “What the hell did you do to this thing?!” he demands.

“Wouldn’t you like to know!” Allison yells and yeah that’s why Seth asked the fucking question. God she is such a fucking blonde sometimes.
