[broken-heart-raven-queen]

We all know by now Andrew and Neil are light sleepers because of trauma and being in unsafe places but I just read some of the extras and I picture this scenario:

Andrew wakes up night after night when the cats jump onto the bed the first few months because he is not used to their weight and they didn't learn yet to do get on from Neil's side.

Neil of course gets woken up by Andrew's panic and gets worried (he's also starttled at first) and tries to help and reassure him, but at the end neither of them goes back to sleep.

At the beggining is fine, they are both used to fucked up schedules but they are people and obvious they start to get cranky and fight a lot (more) during the day for silly reasons. Other people is noticing it too and then it affects their performance on the court.

So one night, Andrew decides to "sleep" on the couch (he thinks he could be awake all night binging some show to avoid beeing paranoid) and this is because he saw that Neil really needed to sleep well at least one night. He does not feel guilty, tho, he's just Andrew and cares for Neil way more than he cares about himself.

Ok.

So that night he innevitably falls asleep and is woken up by Sir who is now on his chest curled up as a fluffy ball.

He starts to get mad, but he can't. Not really when he picks the cat up and it is sooooo soft. And then Sir tries to lick his hands (he might be snacking when he passed out) and lets out a quiet "meow" because he can't reach him well.

And Andrew looses it. He starts laughing to the point he cries.

Because everything is fine. It's just a cat. His cat.

And no matter how broken he is, Sir would love him and do it again a million times more. Because he had chosen him.

Just like Neil who's staring at this situation in silence from the livingroom door.

I think Neil is always going to be a nostalgic little shit in the dumbest ways. I think they’re going to be retired in their mid-forties grown ass adults with a house and a mortgage, and one day Andrew wakes up alone and goes outside to see if neil’s gone for a run or something and then a shingle falls right beside him, and he looks up and Neil’s just. On the roof. Smoking a cigarette with his legs dangling over the edge of their little suburban bungalow and Andrew is just like “Jesus fuck junkie” because he’s too goddamn old for this.

Sometime after Andrew and Neil become public Andrew is in an interview

Reporter: You and Neil Josten recently revealed a long term relationship

Andrew: *just starting blackly*

Reporter: is there any reason you previously have not been open about your sexuality? You don’t seem very um… stereotypically queer?

Andrew: *keeping the same blank face* ✨slay queen✨💅

Andrew: *walks away*

[ashestoashes7]

Neil ‘I’m fine’ Josten is probably the worst about playing with an injury. He’ll just casually be running around the court and they will only later find out that’s he has an assortment of things that would have the rest of them benched. He tells them he’s pushed through worse on the run, but every example he gives of different reasons they should let him on the court anyway just makes them want to wrap him up in blankets more.

[spacepanda7]

probably has been done several times but aftg!trc au:

Kevin as Gansey: privileged background on the surface, the Royal (Queen, in Kevin's case, obviously he CANNOT be the Raven King) ("so... what do you know about EXY?")

Andrew as Ronan: the most infamous and most unapproachable, loyal to Kevin/Gansey through and through. (though, in terms of the Lynch brothers, Andrew is more similar to Declan than Ronan imo)

Neil as Adam: horrible father, paranoid, vicious and merciless, particularly when being protective

Nicky as Noah

Jean as Blue

Jeremy as Henry

Aaron as Declan (misguidedly protective, antagonistic sibling; though honestly, Aaron fits better with Ronan and Andrew with Declan)

Riko as Kavinsky

Wymack/Abby/Bee as Maura/Calla/Persephone

Uncle Stuart as the Gray Man (with Kengo as the Gray Man's brother?)

might add on to this as I think of more...

Math Nerd AU | Unusual Fic Asks

Neil was coming to accept that he wasn't going to die of old age as the doctors told him the recovery time for his twisted knee. He would need to do physical therapy before he could even have the surgery and then additional physical therapy afterwards.

It would take too long.

The Moriyamas would cut him as a useless thread. "Mr. Josten, you'll play again." The Doctor assures, "You will just-"

"Thank you Doctor, yes I understand." Neil interrupts. "Let's schedule a time to start the physical therapy." he says because a part of him feels spiteful. He knows how Ichirou works, knows that his death will look like a suicide.

People who are committing suicide don't make plans right? Maybe his death would be just enough to topple it all to the ground and save Kevin and Jean. He makes his appointment and hobbles out of his doctor's appointment to find Andrew in the waiting room.

He wonders how much longer he'll get to look at him.

He'll never actually be ready to stop.

Andrew's gaze snaps to him and Andrew has always been able to read him like a book. "It's too long?" he asks.

Neil laughs because, as usual, there was no point in hiding things from Andrew. "I've had my will ready for a while. I'm leaving-"

"Stop." Andrew raises his hand, "you aren't dying. Not before me. I'm older." Andrew argues.

Neil smiles and wishes to say the three words that bubble up in him but he wants them to be the last ones he says to Andrew if he can manage it. Saying them now would only make Andrew upset and possibly leave.

"Let's go home. I wanna see the cats." he says instead. It doesn't matter too much, his will spells out where everything is supposed to go. Andrew helps him into the car and puts his crutches in the backseat. They drive in silence and Neil finds himself looking at every black car with out of state licenses.

He looks at his phone because there's no point in worrying. His fate was sealed the moment that Ohio player rammed into him. He hopes Andrew likes one of the options he listed in his will. He hopes he stays close to Andrew, hopes he can protect him from beyond.

He prepares texts for all of his friends as he goes. Most are just I love yous and some thanking them for being especially kind to him. His text to Matt a long note on how sorry he is that he won't get to watch his god daughter grow up. His note to Aaron to make sure that his daughters take after Katelyn when they're born.

They get home and Neil is glad to see that there are no cars in their driveway. It does not mean that Ichirou isn't there, but it gives him a bit more time to look at Andrew.

Andrew's jaw is tight as he pulled into their garage.

"I've had arrangements made and paid for Andrew. It's going-"

"Shut up." Andrew hisses and gets out of the car.

Neil's phone rings and he sees a familiar area code he looks as Andrew shuts the door as he enters the house.

He hits accept. 32 wasn't bad considering he never expected 20.

"Hello?" he asks.

"Wesninski." Ichirou greets and Neil lets his eyes close. "I hear you will not be able to pay me." he comments.

"It will be quite some time before I can work on the court again My Lord." he doesn't lie or try to hide it. "I understand what this means for our deal. May I-"

"I wish to strike a different deal." Ichirou interrupts and Neil blinks.

"You...wish to strike a different deal?" he asks.

"I am in need of someone with your certifications Wesninski." Ichirou says.

Neil's jaw tenses. He can't do his father's work. He'd rather just have Ichirou shoot him and let it be done.

"You have kept up to date with your CPA certification from what I understand?" Ichirou continues.

Neil blinks.

What?

drew this immensely scuffed still redraw while rewatching this movie for the millionth time. the dialogue reminded me of neil and kevin's conversation in TRK, where neil insists that all he wants to do with the rest of his life is play exy... but then i remembered i haven't ever drawn kevin before and couldn't be arsed to come up with a design for him. so andreil it is.

also i beg you do not question the chronology of this... i forgot about the hair dye thing

Me when I’m not looking at my computer: “oh this would be such a good idea, what if this, this, and this happened OH WAIT what if…”

Hello! Could I have some Guardian Angel Neil? I desperately want to know more! Is the cat dead? Is this why animals can see him? Or can people also see him if he wanted to? Did I forget something and this is already answered ? (I'm sorry for the rambling, I love your boys so much!) I wish you a calm week!!!

WIP Wednesday (2/7) | Guardian Angel Neil AU (Part 114)

“I guess I was. But then your coach got to them before I did, so I let him handle it.” Neil says, giving Andrew a curious look. “What were you going to do?”

Andrew’s brow furrows. “What?”

“I saw the way you put yourself in front of Kevin. You thought he was in danger, didn’t you? That they had come to hurt him.”

“I did.”

“Were you going to kill them?” Neil asks. And it’s an interesting question. When Andrew doesn’t answer, Neil goes on, “You still had your padding on. And a goalie racquet in your hands. I bet it would’ve made a good weapon. Probably could’ve knocked their brains out with it— literally. If they had come after Kevin, would you have stopped them?”

“Yes.” If it comes down to it… If anyone ever tries to hurt Kevin— or Aaron or Nicky— well… The coroner will be definitely involved, it’s just a matter of who they’ll be picking up.

“Next time leave it to me. It’s my job to stand in front of you.” Neil says, eyes locked on Andrew’s. Then he sighs, “With a knife in my hand, apparently.”

Gonna be answering asks today so here’s some royal au sketches for your viewing pleasure

Andrew and Abram dancing in Andrew’s room

@jtl-fics opened my mind to the idea of Andrew’s horses being named GS and Maserati, so here’s his second horse Maserati, she’s a lovely fresian and Andrew braids her mane when he’s bored on rides

And my favorite: @neilimfinejosten drew us a horse a while ago and I’ve been wanting so badly to draw Andrew on it ever since so here’s GS as well 💕

Andrew Doe is freshly six years old when he wakes to the sight of his shadow leaving him for the first time. Andrew knows he should be more careful while racing through the house; he doesn’t know these new people after all, but he’s too excited to let a little thing like caution keep him from finally finding someone who loves him. Someone who wants him. ~ Nathaniel Wesninski is four years old the first time his shadow leaves him. He doesn’t notice, but his mother does. She makes a mental note to make sure that neither Nathaniel nor his father ever have the chance to follow Nathaniel’s shadow to his soulmate. One less thing for Nathan to hold over Nathaniel, and thus over Mary, the better. ~~ Twice a year, your shadow leads you towards your soulmate. For Andrew and Neil, this changes surprisingly little.

New fic!!!

This year I want to challenge myself to write, finish and post at least one fic every month, starting with this one for January!

This fic is based off of a prompt from a book called 5-Minute Daily Writing Prompts by Tarn Wilson (I did not write this in five minutes, I just used the prompt). The prompt I used is:

"Prompt 1: Fantasy, Plot: A woman awakes in the early morning to see her shadow sneaking out the bedroom door. She follows. (Continue the story) The woman sees her shadow holding hands with another unattached shadow. What happens next?"

Go check it out and let me know what you think!
