for anyone who wants some bartender neil with Attitude™ content: whiskey sour by maqicien

Whiskey Sour by maqicien (Not Rated | 6078 | 1/1) 

He feels eyes on him like a soft caress on the back of his neck, a gentle kiss behind his ear. He tries to find the honey gold of his eyes in the crowd, but they're always gone before he can find them.

Andrew is there almost every night, in whispers and glimpses. Neil finds himself fighting for even a blink of him in the crowd.

After 7 nights of being watched, Andrew pops up at the bar.

-

In which Neil is a bartender and Andrew is the crime lord that owns the bar.

I'm looking for some where Neil and Andrew go back like in time or something like that, I don't know if I explain myself, could you help me find a lake like that?

yeah we actually have a time travel tag that has a lot! here's my favourite one though -maz

if you’re lost you can look (and you will find me) by paleromantic (T | Incomplete | 15/?)

Neil Josten jerked awake, his cigarette falling from his fingers as he did. The frigid air bit at his arms, his neck, his face, but he didn’t notice, too busy looking around.

“What the fuck.”

or

Neil and Andrew wake up back in Millport, and get the chance to start over.

[aftgficlibrary]

Do you guys have any fics with Neil either being mute or having selective mutism

sure here’s what i found -maz

I Know What You're Saying by jjmash (T | 2,238 | 1/1)

It would be okay with him if Neil never spoke again. They could learn sign language just like they had learned Russian during Andrew’s senior year, and Neil would find a way to convey all of his snarkiness through hand gestures. But Neil’s voice, with its contradictory smooth tones and rough edges, sounds a little too much like home to Andrew.

The Wild Fox Den by lovelypipedream (T | Incomplete | 2/?)

Neil’s mother ended up killing off his father before she died. Neil decided to call Stuart before running to Millport. After having a rough time coping with the change, he ends up in group therapy, where he meets the foxes.

Stick around, will ya? by confusedandconflicted (T | Incomplete | 3/?)

It starts off with a no, funnily enough.

aka Neil is running from Riko and lands himself at Eden's Twilight, where all the Foxes live and work (Wymack owns the place and all the Foxes work there and live above the club like one big family).

gay shit ensues.

DISCLAIMER PLEASE READ: I am not selectively mute myself, so I tried to do as much research as I could. I am not perfect, and if I go about writing about Neil's mutism incorrectly or insensitively, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. It is not my intention to offend anyone or romanticize disabilities. I just want to explore an au where Neil's mutism changes the dynamics of his relationships with the Foxes, because such a critical part of the aftg series and Neil's character there was his mouth. Please let me know if you have any comments or concerns.

The Sound by jemejem (M | 17,796 | 5/5)

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.

Winter Banquet by CourtneyEllen (M | 1,605 | 1/1)

Week 22: “You look good in it.”

hands like birds by lolainslackss (T | 4,698 | 1/1)

Busy working on his thesis and waiting tables, Andrew Minyard doesn’t have time to think about boys.

That doesn’t mean certain boys can’t be distracting, though, and between his cat-sitter who won’t stop flirting with him via post-it note and the new, unforgivably attractive kitchen assistant working at the restaurant, Andrew is very distracted indeed.

[aftgficlibrary]

There was a fanfic with an excerpt of “driving, not washing” at the beginning. I can’t remember the fanfic’s title and I didn’t get to read it either, I would be really thankful if you could help!!

i do believe it’s this one -maz

It starts with bloodshed by jeanjosten (Not Rated | 5,850 | 1/1)

Neil's a child on the run, he always has been—but it takes swallows of pain and a great deal of loneliness to master the art of survival. Desert gas stations, dismal public bathrooms, whiskey bottles and lost bullets, distraction, anonymity, anxiety and dusty cars. More or less.

Or, Neil's voyage through the blurry concept of 'home', and how he gets through the day when he'll have to disappear in the morning.

[aftgficlibrary]

Could you link that fic where Andrew sees his past abuser on tv and has a panic attack in front of the foxes?

yep here it is!-Maz

hi— first, I love your passion for the series and writing. can you guys point me in the direction of any ballet aus? I’m projecting but it’s fine

Thank you! This is the only ballet specific au I could find - Sam

dance for me by jemejem (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.

Neil finds out he likes G L I T T E R. HE IS SPARKLY

The Mouth Is A Dangerous Thing by moonix (E| 2,364 | 1/1)

This is how it starts, lately: words on an altar, tension thick like incense between them.

The Days That Followed by lipsstainedbloodred  (E | 7,410 | 1/1)

Andrew’s hand moved up further to Neil’s ruined cheek and he held a hand over it briefly. “These are not ugly,” Andrew said, forcing Neil to look up and face himself directly in the mirror, “You will not be ashamed of these. You will not shy away from your reflection because of them. These are not ugly.”

or, the fic where Neil is self conscious of his scars and Andrew forces him not to be.

weak as honey, thick as sugar by R_Gunns  (E | 781 | 1/1)

With everything settling down after Riko and Baltimore, Neil has some time to make some self-discoveries. Andrew indulges him.

Hey! I love what you guys do! Can I recommend the fic ‘Sink Into Your Sunlight’ by tasteofink on ao3? It’s absolutely amazing and it should have a million more kudos and reads! Thank you!

Sure thing!-Aaron.

Sink Into Your Sunlight by tasteofink (Not Rated | 33,879 | 1/1)

There’s a road trip, kisses, and learning to trust before they almost lose each other.

Paint On My Fingers, Your Hands In Mine by lipsstainedbloodred (T | 1,682 | 1/1)

He’s twenty one and he’s got paint on his knuckles the color of coal dust, flecks of white smudging up his wrist like tiny snowflakes, a dash of fire red splashed across the bridge of his nose where he pushed his glasses up.

hello i'd like to rec 'violent delights' by Rosyredlipstick :)

thanks for the rec!-Maz

violent delights by Rosyredlipstick (T | 12,639 | 1/1)

Become what you have always wanted to be. Here, fantasies come true. Here, you can chase the life you have always wanted. Thanks to our refined hosts, any and every one of your desires can be filled. Here, you can leave your world behind. The hosts cannot harm you. The hosts cannot stop you. Here, you will face no consequences. Here, you can live without limits.Welcome to Westworld.-Every morning, Neil Josten woke with the sun. He would part his hair to the side, dress in a blue that brought out his eyes, and head towards town for his afternoon groceries. The rest was up to fate. Or, as the townspeople called them, the newcomers.

[aftgficlibrary]

Hi! I’m looking for a fic that I read a while ago. Andrew notices that Neil’s scars still hurt so he massages them and stretches them. I think it was incomplete when I read it. Thanks xx

I know exactly what fic this is! Enjoy, and thank you for the ask.-Aaron.

Hey, any new fics where Andrew or Neil is having a bad day?

Yeah! So you can check out this post, or our bad day tag. But I still got some goods for ya ;)-Atlas

A little too much by trubenblack ( T | 2,321 | 1/1 )

Neil’s nightmares are never fun.

Or, Neil has a bad dream and a bad morning, Andrew helps where he can

breathe by carminesunset ( G | 724 | 1/1 )

prompt by anonymous:

neil wakes up bc andrew is having a nightmare and whispering ‘please’ in his sleep (from exyprompts@tumblr)

Keep You Alive by altusx ( Not Rated | 2,379 | 1/1)

The streetlight coming from the window hit Andrew’s face enhancing his angular features. He was even paler than usual, his skin sullen and sickly. Tufts of blond hair were stuck on his face, wet with cold sweat that covered the rest of his body and grimacing face. He tossed and turned in jerky movements, caught in vague whispers and mild heaving. He had pushed his bed sheet off of his torso revealing a wet shirt he kept clawing at leaving scratch marks on his skin. Whimpers were occasionally turning into agonized shrieks. “No!” he cried in his sleep as Neil helplessly thought of what to do. “No, don’t! Stop!” he started panting heavily.

Neil's morning routine is occasionally interrupted, but it's all okay.

drifting. by kauket_616 ( Not Rated | 736 | 1/1)

Neil Josten can help himself. Until he can’t. Until he crosses a line and he doesn’t know how to bring himself back. Because he hurt Andrew and--shit. He hurt Andrew. What more needed to be said?

Nightmares by Eye_of_the_Dragon ( Not Rated | 646 | 1/1)

Neil's been struggling with nightmares. Andrew finally convinces him to talk to Bee.

Beyond the prying eye by simplydevotedtoyou ( Not Rated | 1,965 | 1/1)

None of the foxes understand how Andrew and Neils “relationship” works. They never see them being affectionate towards each other like Matt and Dan are so they don’t see the ways they do care for each other. Fortunately for some they have seen glimpses over the months (even though they weren’t meant to) of the ways Andrew and Neil show what they mean to each other- which Andrew will never admit to any of the Foxes.

This time it's after the first court day surrounding the investigation of Neil's father and his men and Neil has a nightmare

and more than a few bleed into you by brekker ( T | 4,475 | 1/1)

Neil doesn’t know if this is considered protection or insight because Andrew has always been the quicker of the two to know that these moments are transient and Neil will wake up half a country away and want to come back home when this fear and ache to flee settles back down; either before or after he gets himself hurt.

It might be one in the same if Neil thinks about it.

It reminds Neil of that thing Renee had said once: This, too, shall pass.

Do you guys happen to know of any Andriel Demon AUs (preferably with demon Andrew)?

here are a couple that i found with demon!andrew, and another with angel!andrew and demon!neil-Maz

We All Have Demons by girlskylark (T | Incomplete | 18/?)

Neil Josten, a novice witcher, is put to the test by investigating the disappearance of fellow witcher Allison Reynolds after her husband vanished several weeks ago. Rather than sending Neil off without protection, Matt gifts him a pair of arm bracers and sends him on his way. The last thing Neil expected was to wind up stuck with the demon whose soul is attached to Matt's gift.

The last thing Andrew wanted after his last shitshow of a "second chance" was to be stuck with an idiot witcher, but life was never that kind to him. After dabbling in black magic, unintentionally binding his soul to the bracers, and winding up in the hands of Drake Spear, he didn't expect anything better when Matt Boyd cut the bracers off Drake's cold dead hands and stashed Andrew away for a century. That century gave him plenty of time to contemplate life, and how little he cared to put up with anyone's bullshit. Especially Neil's.

Make a Deal with Me by belncaz (T | 3,218 | 1/1)

After his mother's death, a grief-stricken Neil finds out how to summon a crossroad demon. It doesn't go quite to plan when the demon turns out to be someone like Andrew Minyard.

Stories of some Aaron and Andrew being bros? Happy birthday twinyards

Hey! Nice ask, I love some twinyards content-Aaron.

Better than Before by Leahelisabeth (fortheloveofcamelot) (T |  816 | 1/1)

There was a pounding at the door. Neil sat up from where he was curled up into Andrew’s side and stretched, enjoying the way Andrew’s eyes followed him as he moved.

“Stay there,” Neil said. “It’s probably nothing. Keep my spot warm for me.”

But it wasn’t nothing. Aaron stood there outside the door, fist still raised to knock, eyes red and cheeks wet.

Aaron’s freaking out and he winds up in Andrew and Neil’s home.

These Days by mishaschmidt, Nikotheamazingspoonklepto (M | 21,900 | 1/1)

Identical twin brothers Aaron and Andrew Doe have been in foster care since they can remember. They have each other and as long as they are together, nothing else matters. So every year on their birthday, they remind themselves and each other of this fact.

“Will our birthday always be bad?” Aaron suddenly asks as they get closer to the monitor, scowling at them from the door.Andrew is just surprised Aaron remembers the last few. “I guess we already got what was comin’ to us,” he suggests.“…I guess, but I’ve got you.” Aaron glances at him, a tiny, sincere smile on his lips.Andrew smiles back and nods. “And I’ve got you.”

Do you know of a fic/tumblr post fic where Neil is a uni Professor or something similar and Andrew works at the train ticket booth and that's basically the AU? I've been looking for it and can't find it anymore. And thank you so much for helping me (and everyone) find lovely fics 💕
