#neil feral child josten

Who would he have to heckle, harass, terrorize, or manipulate for their own good?

Though he probably would have sorted out Jeremy's backstory.

neil wouldve dipped in two days if he was recruited to usc instead of psu

[starry-night-ly]

You know my personal theory on why tsc doesn’t have the exy rulebook in it is because Jean doesn’t give a shit about it in the same way Neil does. Instead we get the Trojans lineup, in order.

[aftg-rot]

who is humanising who? 😤

[lizandreil]

if we had a nickel for every time neil orders to assassinate an abuser who hurt people neil cares about we would have two nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s hot weird that it happened twice

i fucking love my feral child never change neil josten

Nora really knocked it out of the park with how she managed to constantly portray Neil as such an unhinged character. Not just in the bigger scenes or important moments, but even in little snippets here and there throughout the whole serie.

Like what do you mean that after paying a stranger 100$ to knock him out, Neil’s reflection on it the next chapter is “I’ve been quite reckless with how I spent my money recently, I’ve got to be more careful”.

Like, Neil, honey, the money is not the fucking problem.

*mary teaching neil how to survive when he was younger*

mary: so if a stranger came up to you and was like

mary: “hey little boy! i don’t know you but your mommy told me i have to come and pick you up.”

mary: what would you say to him?

neil: i would say “fuck you, bitch”

[kevindavidday]

best thought is kevin mimicking wymacks mannerisms like during games or whatnot when the foxes are on their obnoxious shit and they both just sigh in that 😮‍💨 dramatic ass way or rub their eyes together or literally have the same expression on their face and everyone's reminded that kevin is wymack's son

bestest thought is when neil mimics wymack subconsciously too (especially as captain) and everyone's reminded that yeah that is also in fact wymack's son

[wickedwitchofthewesninski]

Neil: When I was in the run I did meet some of the most insufferable people in the world. But, they also met me.

[palmettios]

neil: hey google, how do i get revenge on someone?

google: the best revenge is moving on and living well.

neil:

neil: alexa, how do i—

something i just really like to think about is neil starting to show his actual personality to the rest of the foxes post-canon and them being shocked.

before they knew about everything, he had to keep up the shy, quiet, ordinary, unsuspecting neil josten act. but post-canon, i like to think that he lets loose a little, allows his real personality to show. he actually lets them see ruthless, blunt, hot-tempered neil josten.

i believe in neil having a very specific "im about to raise hell" expression where he does his scary smile and his eyes go absolutely feral, and the others learn that if they see that expression, they need to step aside. also, i think the others might underestimate how good of a liar neil is. he'll have them convinced that he's innocent but andrew will insist that he's lying; the others, at first, think andrew's being mean and bitter, neil's too sweet to be faking this time, why would he lie about something small like this? ...and then neil's expression completely changes from "innocent child" to "chaos demon" frighteningly quickly. it's absolutely terrifying. andrew sees the horror on the other's faces and just goes, see? gullible morons.

what makes this even better: i like to think that once andrew sees that neil won't be pushed around anymore, and also that neil won't let his people be pushed around either, that andrew feels like he can let down his guard a little bit. like...he feels like there is someone who is willing to and capable of protecting him for once. so andrew might actually relax a little bit...while neil gets more unhinged. i just love this trope and all the possibilities.

like, imagine neil does or says something shocking to the upperclassmen, and they turn to andrew and are like "??? are you gonna control him??" because they're used to andrew being controlling over his people. but andrew doesn't feel the need to control neil when he's like this (tbh he's not fully sure that he could). so he just shrugs nonchalantly and stares blankly (and, if you look closely, admiringly) at neil while he wreaks havoc.

it's just like...wait til the upperclassmen realize that neil is far more willing to fuck shit up than andrew ever was. wait until they realize that andrew just wants to drink hot chocolate and talk shit with his therapist while neil crosses people off his hit list. you know?

Heavy Dirty Soul by alexjosten [Rated E, 38356 words, incomplete, last updated Dec 2018]

Andrew doesn't believe Neil when he explains he has a binder full of Kevin's photos because he's in love with him. To catch him in his lie, he convinces Kevin to fake interest in Neil to get him to give up the act. Problem is, neither of them know how far Neil is willing to go to ensure his survival.

What we become in the absence by zen_fox [Rated M, 46369 words, complete, 2018]

Kevin Day, Exy’s former superstar, is now relegated by injury to the lowly position of Assistant Coach for the Palmetto State Foxes. Neil Josten, PSU's newest recruit, has a promising future ahead of him— and a dark past behind him.

In the absence of anyone to protect them, what will they become?

(An AFTG AU where Andrew never signed for the Foxes, so Kevin never had the backup to return to the court, and Neil never had anyone to dig up his secrets. Will Neil's truth ever out, and will Kevin ever play again?)

Apartment 314 By Nikotheamazingspoonklepto [Rated M, 18715 words, complete, Aftg Reverse Big Bang 2019]

(Kevin/Neil leading to Kandreil)

Day & Josten run their Private Investigation business out of their apartment and manage to make ends meet without touching Neil's family money. Some months are better than others, but the two of them have been content in their inner city apartment, running around and spying on people for money. Over the last seven years, they've built a life together and it's been good.

Then Andrew Minyard, a lawyer from out of town knocks on their door and presents them with a case that they can't refuse - not with the amount of money offered - or the familiar look in his eye.

Fake dating KevNeil AU with art student Neil.

“Short version: I have to go to a homophobic event so I wanna bring a date to make a statement, but as Aaron has just made abundantly clear, the concept of anyone willingly dating me is obviously a huge joke. So Kevin has very kindly agreed to pretend he can stand me for one evening.”

Pull the trigger (Till the end) by eloquent_apollo [Rated G, 32036 words, incomplete, Aftg Big Bang, last updated Aug 2021]

Prodigy Kevin Day is always one step ahead of Nathaniel. He is always just a little faster, just a little better. They are rivals, who will never get along. That is, until they are transferred to the same team. Now they must learn to cooperate, as the clock is ticking for Nathaniel to prove himself to the Moriyamas.

one of us has to make it by thewintersolstice [Rated M, 8324 words, complete, 2021]

When Kevin wins and Riko destroys his hand, Nathaniel's the one who gets him away. Nathaniel's also the one who gets left behind.

Raven!Neil AU.

“I — I can’t leave.” Nathaniel can see the panic building in Kevin's eyes, the realization, the fear. “Nathaniel I can’t, you know I can’t, he will kill me—“

“Hasn’t he done it already?” Nathaniel’s voice is ragged, broken, all of the anger but none of it for Kevin, all of it is because it’s fucked. It’s fucked beyond repair and it is perfect.

Kevin is going to get out.

Tangling fingers in hair and accidentally napping together. Sharing clothes and watching and playing Exy. It's an epiphany, a realisation, and confessions and exploring. Kevin and Neil. Day and night. Sun and moon. They match, because of course they do.

Neil looked up at Kevin, a horrible smile ripping his face in half, and wheezed out, “I’m going to be butchered because you wanted a striker for your shitty fucking Exy team!”

  -

Neil is slightly more fed up with the shit he deals with and his first meeting with Wymack, Andrew, and Kevin takes a different turn.
