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]

So like theres this one fic i read but cant for the life of me remember the name of? Its fantasy and andrews like the moon? I distinctly remember he has silver eyes in it? Him and neil are like childhood best friends that meet because neil stumbles onto an old temple where hes trapped? God i legit cant find this fic, but it was a really interesting story and im desperate. Thanks for your help!

here you go!-Halley

of gods and monsters by aflyingcoffeebean (T | 30,029 | 12/12)

His mother says these woods are cursed, bathed in the blood of a god long dead. From a time even before his family claimed them as their own. Abram sometimes wonders if it was his ancestors that killed the god, if they won the land through slaughter. That is what they’re known for, bloodshed.Abram meets a boy in the woods one night and his life is changed forever.

[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

masquerade ball aus? (preferably completed) thanks for all you do!!

here are some!-Halley

A song of truths and flowers by KuroganeNoFeari for sunnysidedown (G | 15,640 | 6/6)

From the moment when Neil had decided he would go to the yearly masquerade ball hosted by the Moriyamas, he had known it would be a bad idea. However, against all odds, someone caught his interest, a lone Fox with a unique view on the world. As time passed, the two men came up with a new game: each night, they would meet at the ball and exchange one truth - their identities weren’t part of the deal.

Unmasking a Fox's Kiss by NachtGraves, neenya (M | 12,079 | 1/1)

With Wymack and Abby's long overdue engagement, Foxhole Court holds the customary masquerades, two nights of celebration with a backdrop of superstitious nonsense about soulmates. Andrew will take the nights of binge drinking and eating, even if he has to keep an eye on a fox masked annoyance from Evermore Court. 

lonely with you by neenya, smokesque (T | 8,621 | 1/1)

andrew tends bars and hooks up with rich men, neil drinks a little more than is advisable and talks shit about his peers, and they meet under a series of unlikely circumstances. (twice.)

[aftgficlibrary]

what’s the fic where neil and andrew we’re together in high school and andrew left to go to college? he also still wears neil’s jean jacket and i remember there being apart of neil talking about losing his virginity to andrew and nicky saying that it probably grew back. thank you!!!

here you go!-Halley

forgetmenot by moonix (T | 4,201 | 1/1)

Four years ago, Andrew left Neil behind. Now he's back in town and Neil couldn't care less - really.

[aftgficlibrary]

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.

Any fics with Neil having a praise kink/getting off on almost getting caught? Thxs xoxo

Here are a few!-Aaron.

joyride by artemis_west  (E | 5,352 | 1/1)

Neil and Andrew go for a drive.

glitter on the west streets, silver over everything by artemis_west, lilypaws (E | 8,850 | 1/1)

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.

Colours by jemejem (T | 2,685 | 1/1)

Colours were splashed across your skin at another being's touch: They were the colour of your soul.

Neil's was blue, but no one knew that. No one was going to know.

[aftgficlibrary]

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)

“These days are good as gold so I will never let go.”

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

[aftgficlibrary]

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.

Or, as the townspeople called them, the newcomers.

[aftgficlibrary]

Nathaniel is never as aware of Neil Josten being a lie as he is when he lies to Andrew.
