Hey! Thanks for all you do <3 I was wondering whether you could rec any recent additions to the fandom (since it feels like I've read all the classics)-- any must-read fic posted within the last few weeks/months that are worth checking out?

here are some that have been shared (and loved) in the staff server recently :-) -maz

short for frankincense by bazookajo94 (T | 3,621 | 1/1)

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers AU.

Nicky and his cousins live alone and secluded on a mountain. They're tired of living alone and secluded on a mountain.

When they visit town right before winter snows over their only source of entertainment, Nicky finds a husband, Aaron finds a fuck to give, and Andrew finds a Neil.

Not Nothing by TheRainbowElectric (Not Rated | 23,148 | 1/1)

“Have you considered the possibility that Neil has chosen you, but believes you have not chosen him?” Renee says. "Have you ever explicitly told him what you want?”

“Neil knows what I want,” Andrew snaps. This is not Andrew’s fault.

“How do you know?”

Because Neil always knows. He is as fluent in Andrew’s micro-expressions as he is in German and French. He knows which head tilts mean “go on” and which ones mean “shut up.” Without ever asking, he learned what it meant to see Andrew wearing double layers of long sleeves, or taking multiple showers in a day, and learned to hand Andrew the car keys.

That has always been the most terrifying thing about Neil — his patience to wait, watch, listen, learn. The prospect that if Neil were given enough time, there would be no part of Andrew that was just Andrew’s anymore.

“He has to know,” Andrew says.

“Does he?” Renee says. “Have you ever known Neil to assume that he is wanted?”

Five times Neil tells someone that he and Andrew aren’t dating, and one time Andrew uses his words to set the record straight.

a hunger inside by ennui_ephemera (M | 2,809 | 1/1)

Neil, not entirely human, very much enjoys killing his crewmates aboard the Space Enterprise. Fortunately for him, Andrew also enjoys it.

Opening Up About Life by Autumnalpalmetto (T | Incomplete | 3 Works)

[aftgficlibrary]

could you help me find an andreil fic please? andrew gives neil a necklace with a key and a ring on it and he says something like "the key is so you don't have to lockpick your way into our apartment, and the ring is so I don't have to lockpick my way into the ICU when you get in trouble." it also involves aaron betting that neil will cry when andrew proposes, if that helps. thanks for all you do!!

YES i love this fic-maz

forever, for you. by softlightwood (G | 3,584 | 1/1)

The smile splitting Neil’s face in two is a soft thing, gentle and wonderful and the most genuine the expression has ever felt settled into his mouth. “I think you like putting up with me”

“Shut up”

“Make me,” Neil tells him.

“Marry me,” Andrew replies.

Hey I really appreciate what you do here! Do you know of any ice skating au fics?

thanks so much! here’s what I found! -ari

falling down like angels fighting (stars and lightning hold me tightly) by unsealie (G | 4,784 | 1/1)

Andrew and Neil and winter over the years. The physical distance between them may grow, but they become closer than ever, finding more pieces of home in each other. A story of healing, love, and warmth.

get closer to me by sporadichearttcollector (G | 1,010 | 1/1)

Neil and Andrew go on a date, and are very in love.

[aftgficlibrary]

Do y’all have a specific tag for body insecurities? Like, I’ve seen a fic or two about Andrew being insecure about his weight and Neil telling him how much he loves his stomach or something like that? Or do you have more docs dealing w that? Thank you in advance!

we have an eating disorder tag and our body worship tag has a lot of these. also there is this fic which is adorable-Halley

down beside my red firelight. by paleromantic (T | 2,052 | 1/1)

"Hey, Andrew?"

Andrew took a deep breath, and then looked over at him. "What is it?"

Kevin raised an eyebrow and hooked his thumb in the jeans he'd put on. "You look like... well, you look like you've gained weight recently."

[aftgficlibrary]

hey gang , ive been trying to find this fic for ages where andrew proposes to neil on the roof and neil cries and andrew talks about owing aaron some money because the twins had a bet on it or something like that?? id be so grateful if yall could find it , ty

hi I wanted to make sure I had all my favorite fics bookmarked,, do you know the name of a longer one where andreil eventually buy a house together, and throughout they have andrew having bad days (neil, too, I think) and sometimes he'll wake up and look at a scratch on the ceiling/wall? and at the end, in the new house I think the walls are green? all I I remember is this helping andrew know where he was when he awoke love what you guys do tysm x

i believe you’re thinking of this one!-maz

light fires at night (to push back the void) by inthesea (M | 61,862 | 3/3)

The first time Andrew realizes he wants to hear the words, Neil isn’t even doing anything. He’s just sitting there, staring at the horizon with that stupidly dramatic faraway expression of his, and letting the cigarette burn down between his fingers all the way to the filter — an outrageous waste of good nicotine, if you asked Andrew.

(Or: 20+ times Andrew and Neil say I love you, and one time they say it out loud.)

[aftgficlibrary]

Fics with casual affection andriel? Esp Andrew. Just like, hand holding, stroking the other's hair, sitting on laps, just soft and gentle things because these boys love each other. Thank you! I legit check this blog like every day, I love you guys and everything you do

thanks for the support!! here’s a couple liek that-ari

never wanted to be so sincere. by paleromantic (T | 1,822 | 1/1)

“You fucking stink, Josten. Doesn’t the gym have a shower?”

Neil snorted and then pressed his kiss to Andrew’s cheekbone, tightening his hold just slightly. “And miss coming home to this? You wound me, Andrew.”

Andrew rolled his eyes but then held the spoon up, leaning away so Neil could taste it. Neil blew on it for a second, and then sipped some of the sauce with it, widening his eyes.

Becoming by puddlejumper99 (G | 2,171 | 1/1)

Learning to be soft is an uphill process. Andrew and Neil take a stab at it anyway.

Series Part 4 of Tumblr Prompts

[aftgficlibrary]

Hello!! I’ve been thru p much every fic in your fantasy tag lol do you guys have any more recs?? Can be magic, creatures, anything really :)

here are the most recent ones which you might not have seen yet!-maz

Bloodshot by sophthetroph (T | Incomplete | 4/?)

Pressing a boot to his stomach, Andrew leaned over Neil’s prone body. Ice began curling up his chest. “Better luck next time, rabbit.”

Or, a Magic!AU in which everything is the same, except instead of exy, there’s sorcery.

One Face, and You Make Yourselves Another by imagined_melody (G | 1,774 | 1/1)

Neil had been eight years old (and still Nathaniel) when he had discovered that he could modify his appearance at will.

Written for the 2019 AFTG Summer Exchange!

a ribcage split open by cthulu_sun (T | 8,980 | 1/1)

The body presses its fingers against Andrew’s and starts shrinking. The eyes spin, slowly, and fill with stars. A voice echoes, both too big and too small at once, a thousand sounds all pushed together into one lost little voice that breaks and shivers and echoes and echoes and -

“Elemental,” the body says, in a voice that sounds too painful to exist. “I need your help.”

Andrew does not breathe. Does not move, is frozen in place. The water hums, and the flowers beneath it stretch themselves out, until they’re everywhere, covering everything. The water seeps into his bones; this is not a dream that is meant for him. Not a dream he should be having at all.

-

an eventful summer in the life of andrew minyard, who is too tired for this shit but loves his friends and boyfriend too much to say no.

The Underdog by loose_canon (T | Incomplete | 5/10)

Nathaniel Wesninski has been hiding almost as long as he can remember, hiding with his mother from his murderous father, and hiding his magic from anyone who might notice. When Mary dies, Nathaniel has one option left: to call on his power.

Nathaniel calls, but there’s no answer. The only way Nathaniel can get his magic back is to open himself completely to another. But with his father still hunting for him, that doesn’t seem likely to happen any time soon.

Then again, Nathaniel’s used to being the underdog.

teaching love to dance by Bookdancer (T | 2,068 | 1/1)

Andrew’s in mourning and he keeps seeing his dead boyfriend.

/Major Character Death

The Broken Heart Syndrome by DeyaAmaya (Not Rated | 2,263 | 2/2)

The snowfall. The rain right after. The black ice covering the roads and Andrew driving the Maserati back from Christmas shopping. The Maserati crashed against a goddamn tree. Andrew in the driving seat, looking like he’s sleeping, not a spot of blood on him anywhere.

(Internal hemorrhage, Aaron had said, eyes hollow.)

/Major Character Death

Being Short is the Reason I’m Sad by Demi_jos10 (T | 1,695 | 1/1)

On the Road by maytay (T | 2,841 | 1/1)

“What do you mean you don’t have a Driver’s License?” Nicky turned his wide eyes towards Neil. “You’ve been driving Andrew’s Maserati for over a year!”

“You never asked.”

or, alternatively, Neil never got his license and Matt helps him.

[aftgficlibrary]

you've got mail by nightquills (G | Incomplete | 4/?)

The year after Andrew graduates, he and Neil probably spend a little too much on postage and stamps.

Series Part 4 of the world goes on

words can't warm the windows of my soul. by paleromantic (T | 1,872 | 1/1)

“Andrew, loneliness is a perfectly normal emotion to have after moving away from loved ones. Have you spoken to Neil about this?” Andrew’s answering silence was telling, Neil had been busy though, wrangling the new Foxes into a semi-functional team now that the last of the original Foxes were gone and he was the only stronghold left. He didn’t have time to deal with Andrew’s difficulty settling in, no matter what his therapists said. “Oh, Andrew.”

There was some rustling, like she was sorting through papers. It was still work hours- Andrew had probably interrupted her. “Have you thought about getting a pet?”

Andrew almost laughed. “A pet? I’m a little old for a goldfish don’t you think?”

Forget all the shooting stars and all the silver moons… by FreakingOutGirl (G | 24,004 | 15/15)

Andrew had just left Juvie, at 15, and nothing in his future called him, until he met a boy running from a wild dog and saved him.That boy gave Andrew the home he never had, until external forces separated them.For years, Neil worried about Andrew, only finding his whereabouts after Andrew joined the Foxes.For Andrew’s safety, Neil kept his distance, but now, with Neil signing with the Palmetto Foxes can those two finally reunited and live the life they were meant to? Or are the ghosts from the past too strong to let them walk out of the darkness?

Call Me Neil by BakaDoll (M | 16,678 | 1/1)

Andrew is 13 and his life is already a living hell. He decides to call a crisis hotline, but ends up dialing the wrong number. Instead, he is on the phone to a boy his age who calls himself Neil. They become friends and talk regularly, until one day Neil needs Andrew’s help.

Better Late than Never by gluupor (T | 3,390 | 1/1)

Andrew should have known not to ally himself with a lying runaway, he really should have known not to trust him, and he definitely should have known not to fall for him.

Honey, we should run away by allyasavedtheday (T | 8,836 | 1/1)

“We’re moving on soon,” his mom says casually as she’s plating up their food. As if it’s an inconsequential detail and not something that rocks Neil to his core.

“Why?” he asks, keeping his voice calm and measured like she taught him to do if he was ever taken.

“We’ve been here too long,” she says like it’s obvious, setting down a plate of pasta in front of him.

“It’s only been ten weeks,” he can’t help pointing out. Ten weeks with Andrew. Ten weeks that aren’t enough.

“That’s over two months,” she retorts, neatly spearing a piece of pasta with her fork. “Two more weeks and we’re leaving. Just as soon as I have everything organised.”

Andrew and Neil meet when Neil is on the run with his mother.

we'll be the last ones dancing in the faceless crowd (when there's no one to hold you, I will still hold you down) byTheBashfulPoet (G | 1,838 | 1/1)

If it were any other day, Andrew would be as far away from the dancefloor as possible. But today was not any other day; today was Dan and Matt’s wedding and all of the original foxes were strewn across the small dancefloor swaying back and forth to some beat Andrew couldn’t be bothered to know the name of. Today he is standing at the edges of the crowd watching Neil twirl between Matt and Dan with a giant grin across his lips and his tie hanging loosely around his neck.
