I'll always pick Angel Neil, but if it isn't behaving go with anything else you'd like. Take care of yourself <3

WIP Wednesday (8/21) | Guardian Angel Neil AU (Part 226)

“The other night, when you were talking about... Nathan. You started coming up with funny names for other criminals. And you were right. A lot of them have stupid monikers like that. Like…” Neil sticks his tongue out for a moment, clearly thinking. “Off the top of my head, Sherry Whittaker— fake name, most likely— she’s the Dentist. Wanna guess where she lives?”

“Not particularly.”

“Denver.”

Andrew blinks. “Seriously?”

“Mhmm. And I know what you’re thinking: that doesn’t seem too scary. Wrong. Queen of torture, that one. She was my mom’s go-to for information. Pulls people’s teeth right out of their heads until they tell her what she wants to know. Starts with the front ones and works her way back.” Neil places both index fingers over his lips before sliding them towards his ears, to the back of his jaw. Andrew’d like to trace that path with his tongue. 

With a start, he remembers the conversation. “Unpleasant.”

“Severely.”

“They should call her the tooth fairy,” Andrew says, recalling how that fable used to freak him the fuck out. Of course, growing up in foster homes, he was never visited by the horrid creature. But his classmates used to get excited about it, coming to school talking about finding a few bucks under their pillows. Andrew didn’t like the idea of someone coming into his bedroom like that. (Still doesn’t.)

“Catchy,” Neil says with an appreciative nod. “But, no alliteration. They love their alliteration. Makes them easy to remember, I guess.”

Andrew allows a snort and realizes that the rain has stopped, for real this time. Even outside of Neil’s little insulated bubble around them. Everything is wet still, drenched really. But Andrew's not and Neil isn't. The angel smiles at him warmly, then he sits back and looks up at the sky. Andrew joins him in watching the sun finally start to peak through the clouds.

also this might be a VERY unpopular opinion but i think between neil and todd, todd would be the one who would be more feverishly intimate

[topemberlytherefore]

a very unserious collection of crack predictions for season 3, variously inspired by jokes from fellow users and also my own terrible little hamster brain

(disclaimer: i made this at like. 3 am. and tbh my brain is all over the place, so i don’t know which ideas i came up with myself and which are posts i’ve just internalized. if i’ve used an idea of yours here, please tell me so i can properly credit you <3)

OP I LOVED UR ANDREIL POST GOING CRAZY THINKING ABOUT IT if you have anything else in that amazing brain of yours on this take please do share because i absolutely LOVED how you articulated this aspect about andreil. its something i particularily appreciate about their dynamic and relationship with anger and Their Issues TM. your post will cross my mind whenever ill think about it from now on.

I don’t think I have ever gotten an ask and this is kind of making me go insane??? I hope you know that you made my day and also, I’m so glad people share in my endless brainrot bc when it comes to this series and these characters I simply cannot stop

It really isn’t nearly talked about enough that the thing that got Andrew to actually look at Neil and become interested was (as cited by Neil himself at some point tho I can’t remember in which book that scene is from the top of my head) Neil’s bone-deep jealousy of Kevin. It’s—it ties into that whole epiphany that Neil has at some point, when he looks at Andrew and realizes that while he is hurtling towards his own breaking point and about to burn out and shatter into something he’s not sure he’d recognize if he survived the encounter, Andrew hit that point and broke from it years ago. And that’s an understanding that goes both ways between them—in a fucked up way, it feels like Andrew might be the future that Neil has waiting for him if he doesn’t end the year six feet under: hollow and drifting, passionless after everything he had to rip away from himself to be able to survive. At the same time, Neil probably reminds Andrew of how he used to be, back when he had hope for things only to have that hope rip him apart—which is exactly where Neil seems to be headed for the majority of the story.

I think that a lot of Andrew’s understanding of Neil comes from the fact that he knows intimately what it feels like to be caught between a rock and a hard place and cut his own lifeline, only to then fail to die on impact. Neil hasn’t had to resort to that yet, but he is hanging by a thread. You’d think that watching him struggle would only serve to drive it home for Andrew that he made the right choice in closing himself off, except… well. His expectations of life and the people in it are so bleak, it’s no wonder he finds himself drawn to Neil’s messy emotions and every unexpected show of spine like a moth to a flame.

Neil, for all of his issues and scars, can still feel things—can still want something so badly it defies all logic. Can want something with such visceral, fucked-up intensity that it resonates where it shouldn’t. It’s an ability that Andrew thinks he’s either lost or cut out of himself to stay somewhat safe, sane and alive a long time ago, but that remains as the most fundamental crack in the foundation of his being. It’s a fascination that seems to come out every time he’s sober and eventually ties into him wanting Neil—wanting something worth wanting and putting a name to it once he finds it. They look at each other and don’t want a watered-down version of the person in front of them. It creates a relationship that embraces issues big and small and accepts (even values!) the messy parts of being human. It means that any space shared between them immediately becomes safe once they settle into something comfortable together. The way they handle the uglier sides of each other’s personality honestly makes me feral because it’s always done with understanding and acceptance and they even find positives or comforts there that the other can’t see and that’s probably a reason for why 1) their chemistry is so off the charts and 2) their relationship is so damn healthy (in addition to their communication being stupidly good when it comes to each other).

Andrew wants something real and Neil wants to be real. And then they get to have exactly that.

That moment when you gotta talk in depth about Astarion, his tragic backstory, and his quest line, with your therapist for reasons 😅😅

I'm 10 minutes in and I'm already in love!

Is there something that you can't do, Sir? @neil-gaiman

[stace-piiilgrim]

give us more gossip on jimmy >:)

I’ve got one more thing to share

Ask him about The Monkees. That’s the one 60s band he’ll listen to and nothing else.

Also ask him about A Hard Days Night. Not the song but the movie. That’s the only Beatles related thing he likes and I’ll never let him live it down >:]
