Baby Pics pt. 3 (final part)

Kevin is being silent in the chat because he fell down some stairs while looking at Baby Aaron

Robin’s parents have religiously kept and cared for all her baby pictures from before she was kidnapped; this one is a few years before she was stolen.

one of the very few things Nicky left with when he got out of his parents’ house are his photo albums; he couldn’t bear leaving any trace of this kid in that house, and couldn’t keep letting his mother enter these phases of grief where she cried over page after page of baby Nicky.

though the internet is full with baby pictures of Kevin from tabloids, for the longest time he has no physical photographs of himself or his mom; when the Nest closed, he was finally handed back Kayleigh’s things that were rightfully his; that was truly an enormous moment of closure.

Aaron went through the effort of digging through the garbage in the attic of the Columbia house to find a semi decent picture; Nicky had some in his own albums, which he offered, but Aaron needed to do that himself, work though some shit.

Andrew told Bee what bullshit the Foxes were doing these days, then told her he knew who had some photos left of him here and there, then told her to make some calls if she was ever feeling bored of her life; because Neil asked; Bee managed to track down 10 photos from adoption agencies and foster families; Andrew chose that one because you can’t see his eyes (and he thinks he looks pretty cool).

Stuart sent over the one photo he has kept all these years, from a time Mary was able to visit London after having Neil; the full picture he cropped is below; only Andrew was shown Neil and his mom, Mary Hatford; the mom he lost, the mom he wants to remember.

My Personal Favorite Fics EVER!! All Neil/Andrew

I hope I am doing this right! I just hit the share button on my bookmarked fics. Idk if any of these have been on here before (I have read a lot of fics and it gets confusing to know which ones I found on here bc there are so many good recommendations, or ones I found on my own. But these are 3 of my favorite fics that I feel like are the most well done!

• Everything's Alright by DarkD: This fic is unfinished but so worth the read!! It is a soulmates au, and in it Neil and Andrew are looking out for eachother since they are 6 and 7 years old. It completely changes their dynamic but manages to keep the characters realistic. I love the direction it was going, I hope the author finishes it, but even if they don’t what they have written so far is worth the read.

• If I Knew You by AceSirenSinger: This fic is soooo amazing!! It was posed pretty recently (starting January 2024 and finishing in May) and It shows a different direction with Aaron and Andrew’s bonding, and different reasons for them having problems with each other. It features writer/author Andrew and Law Student turned police officer Aaron. The writing is so high quality and it is a completely finished fic!! The writing to show the writing of the book Andrew has written alone is impressive enough to get you to read it. I love it so much, it also gives a more realistic approach to Neil’s life and trauma as well as gives you more of a perspective on the problems of Aaron’s life. (Even tho it’s an au and doesn’t show his life during AFTG)

• Deep blue ( but you painted me golden ) by Jeaneil_22: This fic is not finished but completely captivated my attention when I saw it. I was surprised I had not read it before (because I am obsessed with Raven Neil fics, and this is one of them) but then I realized it was posted within the last year or so. It’s completely underrated. It does have a lot of hits but the kudos count not being in the thousands is a crime against humanity. The realistic take on. Neil’s trauma and different things going on as he is still connected very heavily to the Moriyama’s is sooo interesting. And if you are looking for a fic where Neil is a victim of SA/Rape this fic is also a good one for you. (Though it does have a lot of trauma so mind the tags) I know a lot of people are looking for fics like that tho and it’s hard to find bc there is so much SA trauma in AFTG 😔

Thanks for the recs and for sharing your thoughts on the fics! Readers, all of these stories lean toward the darkest themes of AFTG. -A

Previously recced here

Souls weren't meant to be left alone, so they split, always looking for their other half. No matter how long it took, the moment a soul existed, it sought the one that would complete it. The main indication is, when one of the halves of the soul turns seven years old, an identical mark appears on both parts. Along with that comes a set of unique abilities that soulmates can only use with each other—for protection, for finding each other. Soulmates would never be alone.

Previously featured in this long andreil + aaron angst ask, our staff recs writers post, and as a random rec

Neil is imprisoned at sixteen years old for being the Butcher of Baltimore. Andrew obsesses, and Aaron obsesses because Andrew does, and everything goes wrong and raw and painful. Feat. the twinyards breaking each other’s hearts, and a decent amount of shade on the American justice system.

​​Deep blue ( but you painted me golden ) by Jeaneil_22 [Rated M, 163298 Words, Incomplete, Updated Sept 2024]

After the horrific incident that happened in the nest and the sound of Kevin crying, Nathaneil made the hard call and bargained with his life to get Jean and Kevin out, having no slight idea about the storm that was heading his way And after being missing for two years, Jean and Kevin swallowed the hard truth that Nathaneil might be dead somewhere To their surprise one day he appears out of the blue looking so much like their brother but nothing like Nathaneil at all Or Nathniel went on the run with his mother when he was 9 years old but three years later Nathan caught up to them and threw Nathaneil in the nest So we can say some things went a bit different .

I’m also curious to know more about your other AU, the cyborg Murdoc one!

oooh i was waiting to tell more about this AU!!

SO Cyborg!Murdoc was created by the real Murdoc. This takes place in a universe where Noodle is able to make her way back to 2D and Murdoc before they set off for PB after El Mana. But I suppose her close brush with death, and then nearly dying themselves to good ol' Bruce Willis made Murdoc start to think about his mortality. The idea that one day he'll be dead and perhaps before he's ready makes him cook up a terrible idea to create a cyborg in his likeness.

Cyborg!Murdoc is programmed to manage the band in Murdoc's absence and protect the other members from threats like pirates or dodgy producers lol. Murdoc spent a long time programming him to act like how the real him does. BUT, Murdoc is unable to finish him in time and a cannonball fired into PB from the Black Cloud pirates knocks him into a coma (ironic).

(excuse the extremely old unfinished art) 2D is left pretty distraught by the whole thing, so he spends a lot of time in Murdoc's room/workshop where he discovers his cyborg under a sheet. He manages to turn him on, but because he's incomplete Cyborg!Murdoc is almost entirely mute and lacks some of Murdoc's particularly mean qualities, with his main programming having to do with protecting everyone.

this is mostly from a fic that I was writing about the AU, but also never finished lol

it was gonna be resolved with Murdoc waking from his coma and destroying Cyborg!Murdoc. However, 2D had formed a bit of a trauma induced, parasocial bond with Cyborg!Murdoc (since he wouldn't yell at him and wanted to protect him, not torment him like the real murdoc did). So 2D is left pretty distraught for the years after that

Sketchy Awz shenanigans w/ @coffinwoodd 's sona. Zombee to StrawBee. Thank you for letting me add your character in my bs, bud. 🥺

Been playing about for a design for the Wizard. Del being the head of Oz puppeteered by Jamie while Damon is the voice still seems like a fun concept to me.

... they're gonna turn out like shit- I dunno how to draw these men.

I'm reworking a whole doodle sheet I did last year with 2-D and Murdoc. The main image is a wip, so that'll be a different post, but here's 2 before and afters redoing old sketches cos I like how more expressive the recent ones are.
