out of everyone and anyone you could have compared him to, (1460 words) by jemwrites Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: All For The Game - Nora Sakavic Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Neil Josten/Andrew Minyard, Jeremy Knox/Jean Moreau Characters: Neil Josten, Andrew Minyard, Kevin Day, Jean Moreau, Jeremy Knox Additional Tags: Implied/Referenced Rape/Non-con, Post-Canon, Spoilers, The Sunshine Court Summary:

Neil arrives home from California, Jean and Stuart.

Bookmarker's Notes:

Here we are --EIGHT YEARS LATER-- with a beautiful, bold new canon book jump-starting our collective imaginations with fresh interpretations of beloved characters. And here, YOU are Dear Reader, with the first post-TSC fic birthed by @jemej3m, an author who hasn't put fingers to keyboard for several years. Love how reading of The Sunshine Court sparked her beautiful snapshot of Neil's arrival back in South Carolina. It's crisp, sharp-edged + reflective-enough, just like the characters in this story. E N J O Y!

sliding into the front seat of his car, his firm hands raised up to find the steering wheel out of muscle memory. but he gently relaxed and shifted his shoulder so that he was better facing the woman in his passenger seat. a small smile fracturing his lips as he watched her for a moment. cole had spent a good portion of the films looking over at blake. the man letting his hazel eye's wander to the blonde girl out of curiosity and also a little bit out of the crush he'd had on her. but most of all he was trying to gauge whether or not she was enjoying the films. of course he knew horror wasn't a genre everyone liked, even he was picky with what he watched. but still, he wanted her to be having fun. on some level it wasn't just because this was a date either, it was also because this was the first time he'd watched these movies with anyone other than his brother. it was nice to be able to share that with someone, even if it meant more to him than her.

now in this moment of gazing at her, he felt he was still trying to figure out if she'd had a good time. but regardless he still felt gratitude. "thanks for coming with me," he couldn't help but remind himself of the way she'd freaked out at him a few days earlier over text. the way she'd switched it up on him completely. he didn't blame her, or even feel any kind of way about her because of what happened. it more so just made him feel kind of sad in a way. but he pushed any thoughts or feelings of sadness toward blake away and started to shift his body again. moving over the centre console at a slow enough pace as he reached out to her face with a gentle hand. cole's head tilted to the side and his eyes fluttered shut right before his lips crashed into her own, soft and pillowy and they even tasted kind of like cherry coke which was always his favourite. a second later and he was pulling back ever so slightly, the smile reappearing at the edges of his mouth before he said smugly, "if we were still gonna be playing the game i'm definitely gonna keep losing."

"oh you know i'm very aware of how much you love the old days," a smirk formed at the corner of her lips. nat always thought of the first few times they smoked together -- how she even taught him how to smoke properly. her brow raised as she eyed off her husband, her smirk persisting. "you also know there's a million different things that could mean, my love."

"Oh come on. You know I'm a sucker for the old days." Eli pulled some smoke into his lungs before looking up at Nat with a grin. While holding in the smoke he spoke again. "You really wanna relive the old days", he asked while bouncing his brow.

Hey! I was wondering if u could help me find some female Neil AU's, i really like genderbends and cant find any :))

there's not many out there, but here's what i found

She Kissed Me (All is Shattered) by Heartfulkings (T | Incomplete | 1/?)

The Exy world is full of vouyeristic fans who speculate about their favorite players nonstop. Unfortunately Drew and Nat, with their electric pasts and ambiguous relationship are perfect fodder for gossip sites and nosy reporters. When the paparazzi catch Kevin in public with the girls, Drew has to decide whether to play along with the public narrative, or to finally give into her possessive streak, making it known who Nat really belongs with.

kaleidoscope by decaflondonfog (M | 5,555 | 3/3)

Ever met a girl worth scratching the hood of your Maserati for? Andrew has.

dance for me by jemwrites (M | 16,028 | 4/4)

Neala gripped the barre. This would be her only chance to dance before her mother would hunt her down and killed her.  You stupid, stupid girl, her father murmured in her ear. She squeezed her eyes shut. All his hard work at keeping her safe, down the drain. Signing with Palmetto Dance meant performances, competitions, publicity. It was signing herself up for a shortened life.  Her pointe shoes complained with overuse as she rolled up onto them.  It didn’t matter if she died. This was the only thing that made her feel alive.

Andrew and Neil meet as children. Fifteen years later, Andrew has to contend with the fact that he had once been absolutely enthralled with everything that was Neil Josten, and also accept that it might happen all over again.

FIC TUMBLR, I NEED YOU!!!!

A long time ago, I read a detective au. Andrew was a detective (cop?) and the foxes were in his precinct. Neil is his husband and also a mob boss (crime lord? criminal? idk, he’s involved with crime in some way). The foxes are curious about Andrew’s husband so they go over his house for “work” and Neil answers the door in boxers and a shirt (i think). He has one of the cats in his arms (the cat tried to run out of the house). One of them calls Andrew (it might be Neil) and Neil gives them what they came for. Later, when Neil goes to the precinct for whatever reason and he sees Dan (?) looking at some cases. He points out who did it and she looks at him and makes a joke about Neil trading information for not being reported as a criminal and Neil just looks at her and implies that that’s how Andrew solves all his cases. I don’t remember how it ends but i’m pretty sure (?) that it’s a one chapter fic part of a series. I NEED HELP. I DONT REMEMBER WHAT ITS CALLED. IM COUNTING ON YOU GUYS 🤞

[archiveofourcrows]

I've been searching all week for aftg fics to read, and I can't find any new ones I'm interested in :(Do you maybe have any recommendations?

so these asks are a little old (sorry) but they caught me right as i was actually cataloging all of my favorites in my fic collection, it took me over 2 months because i've read a lot and there were way to many to include here.

(but you can see all of my favorites here if you're interested!!)

anyways without further ado, here is the abridged (but still very large) version. they're all completed, be sure to check tw's and tags as always and enjoy! every fic on this list is a complete masterpiece and has my highest praises like... omfg

Fic Rec Fridays - Week 2 - AUs

If you want to check out any of the other 3 fic recs you can find the master post here

Andreil

the sound by jemwrites on AO3 here (17k, 5 chapters)

The cottage looked unassuming and quaint, with a wooden ramp up to the front porch and rose bushes beneath the windows. A little sign was nailed above the door, reading The Foxhole. It seemed peaceful. Quiet

Its patrons, however, were neither of those things. Neil could already hear the raucous lot from where he was stood outside the door. Having never spoken to anyone outside of rare, whispered words to his uncle, or his cat, or his mother's grave, Neil knew this would be interesting.

A blond woman opened the door with a smile and glittering eyes. Neil's stomach rolled over itself. He hoped this wasn't a dumb decision.

TW: mentions of neil’s past and kevin’s. some minorly graphic descriptions of past abuse

its always you series by justdk / @dkafterdark on AO3 here (5 parts)

andreil high school au in a series of short  fics where neil is still on the run, squatting in abandoned houses, when he meets andrew. he hadn’t planned on staying in town so long but things get more complicated when feelings become involved

read tags in each part for TWs

you kind of do though by Rory_writes on AO3 here (4k, 1 chapter)

Unspecified alternate universe where neil and andrew meet later in life.

Someone breaks into Andrew's house one night, drunkenly looking for his friend and instead finding a cat and, well, Andrew. (+trans andrew)

no trigger warnings, mostly fluff and crack

Kandreil

Listen, all these kandreil fics just absolutely wrecked me and in my opinion are absolutely worth the read

the shore we'd come to find by JayJFox on AO3 here (17k, 4 chapters)

Kevneil are hiding from Riko after running away and break into someone’s empty house for the night. only...it isn’t empty. They meet andrew and stay with him, getting comfortable, until Riko makes moves and kevneil become worried for their own safety as well as andrew’s.

This is just. Fucking pure angst (with a happy ending). it wrecked me.

TW: Riko and Nathan and riko and nathan adjacent trauma

a brick to the stomach; a bullet between the eyes by fluorescencx on AO3 here (5k, 1 chapter)

Roommates AU

A 5k roller coaster of pure angst and neil pining for the two people he loves but can never have.

But could? have them? no. of course not.

it’s stupid, but he dreams about it anyway.

no trigger warnings, only angst and pining.

Nicky/Erik

i knew you were trouble (when you broke in through my window) by neilwrites on AO3 here (1k one shot)

AU where Nicky didn’t meet Erik in Germany

Nicky’s drunk and goes to the wrong apartment. Lucky for him, the person who lives in said wrong apartment is German and extremely cute.

no trigger warnings

Jerejean

farmer's almanac by cloud talking on AO3 here (3k, 1 chapter)

Soulmates AU

soulmates know everything that their other knows, excluding who they are. jeremy knox knows his soulmate is in danger and the world will burn as he changes that.

TW: Riko. takes place in the nest. but less trauma and violence than canon. knives

Kevaaron

picture perfect by officialstarsandgutters on AO3 here (22k, 1 chapter)

photography aaron and model kevin au

Freelance photographer Aaron Minyard gets a gig doing fashion photography for a catalogue, where he meets Kevin Day, typical arrogant haughty model asshole. Or so Aaron thinks.

More fluff than enemies to lovers, but enemies to lovers adjacent. Listen, this is just romance. These boys love each other. (+non binary Kevin)

TW: riko and riko adjacent things. graphic torture scene involving knives that is easy to be skipped if needed. kidnapping and drugging, talk of past riko regarding trauma and abuse. scars and talk of kevin’s broken hand. it’s all the usual until the near end where you needa watch out a bit

r u mine? by alex_wh0 on AO3 here (2k, 1 chapter)

Tattoo parlor AU

After two years of unrelenting silence, Kevin comes back into Aaron's life. Andrew is PISSED, Neil is secretly thrilled. And Aaron — Aaron doesn't quite know what to do. (+genderqueer kevin day)

TW: Riko. Again. That rat bastard. recount of kevin’s broken hand and talk of Kevin’s time at the nest

[mystreraes]

hearing her dad come home finally gave amity the motivation to move from the comfort of her bed. walking tentatively down the hallway of their home, it was like all the energy had been drained from her body. her chest had been aching non stop since her text conversation with ley had finally come to an end and she knew what it meant. that she wasn't the girl isley was choosing. it hurt, so fucking much. this is why she wasn't this kind of girl, she didn't want to feel this kind of heart ache -- it didn't feel worth it.

amity found her way to where her dad spent all his time; his stoner den. she needed that comfort, the safety that she felt when her dad held onto her, telling her it would be okay. even when it definitely didn't feel that way. puffy eyed and tears staining down along the porcelain skin of her cheeks, she knocked softly before opening the door. "d-dad?" her voice broke through the silence as she started to close the distance. making her way over to the person who was always safety net. "daddy--" a loud sob fell from her lips as she finally felt her arms move around his waist and her face collided with his mid-section. she didn't even know what to say, all she could do was just cry into her fathers arms.
