there’s nothing fun about being a foxboy by Fandomtrash_whataboutit

Summary
Neil has been on the run since the day he turned into something his father didn’t want, but losing his mother changed everything. Neil can’t survive on his own, he just isn’t strong enough, the only tool he has left in his arsenal is to stay shifted, remain a wild animal for as long as possible. He only gets drawn into a populated area because he’s starving, and he only stays for a little bit because he can’t help but be intrigued. Then Kevin fucking Day gets involved, and suddenly Neil is stuck.
Injured, paranoid, and trapped in the body of an animal, Neil is at the mercy of the foxes’ kindness. And he’s never been one to put faith in the kindness of others. But the foxes are, in their strange ways, kind; Abby is firm in her care, Wymack is gruff in his concern, and Andrew is hilariously blasé in his curious interest. But Neil is running for a reason, even if he’s not sure he wants to run anymore.

Summary
Kevin is on his back, earphones in as he works on his paper for his Women in History class. The fan is on overhead, and the pillow under his back and shoulders is firm and just right. His fingers glide over the keys, and the funky Afro-beats study playlist Jeremy sent him is definitely not his usual vibe, but it's really working for him right now. His foot bobs idly as he works.
The door opens and he flicks his gaze up, then looks back down at his paper, types two words, and then looks back up abruptly with quick blinks.
Because yes, the door has opened, and yes, Andrew and Neil have come in. Those things are normal, run-of-the-mill, routine. But this time, they're joined at the mouth, and Neil is being pushed in backwards, hands behind his back as Andrew blindly kicks the door shut behind them and grips Neil's hips. Neil groans and kisses Andrew back, takes another step backwards when Andrew pushes.
It's not not the first time Kevin has watched his "not"-boyfriends make out. Just. Usually, it's sort of a…prearranged kind of thing.

Summary
“Will you be able to play?” Dan asks, voice layered with concern.
Neil blinks, confused. “Why wouldn’t I be able to play?”
“What our fearless leader means is—will you be able to focus on the game instead of Andrew’s mouth and impressive biceps,” Allison clarifies, saddling up next to Neil with a knowing look.
“I—” Neil starts.
“I mean, I get it,” Allison continues. “He has really nice biceps.”
*
Neil lets a rival goalie take a body shot off him at a bar. Things devolve from there.

Summary
“We were talking about true mates!” Nicky says practically hopping up and down in his seat.
Neil blinks away memories from a windowless room, his ears itching with the whispers of a french accent.
“Okay?” Neil asks, not sure he wants to be talking about this. He wants to turn to Andrew for reassurance, for what he doesn’t know, but it feels too vulnerable for some reason, even in this room filled with his family.
Something must leak into his scent because Andrew is moving from his spot on Renee’s bed to the couch Neil’s been leaning back against. Neil adjusts so that Andrew can slide behind him completely, his legs framing Neil’s body from his spot on the floor.
Neil hovers a hand over his calf, only wrapping his arm around it when Andrew pushes into his touch. Andrew’s warm fingers grasp the mess of Neil’s curls next, still tousled from them earlier, and drag him to lean against the plush muscle of his thigh.
“I’m still not used to them being adorable,” Dan stage whispers to Allison.
With Andrew bracketing him, it’s a lot easier for Neil to pay attention to their words now.
“So what about true mates?” Neil asks, all unease forgotten.

Summary
"I'm fine with it," Andrew says, "If you ever want to pretend again."
"Like..." Neil starts off unsurely, a frown on his lips. He gestures awkwardly between them. "Us? Being..."
Andrew gives him a lazy shrug, trying to downplay the whole motion. Together. Dating. Fucking. Whatever the term, nothing quite seems to fit right — but that's because none of them are things that Andrew can truly have.
After an injury forces Neil to retire from his Olympic track-star career, Andrew brings Neil to the sleepy town of Palmetto to try and piece his life back together.
Of course, he catches everyone's interest, even though he's trying his hardest to avoid attention. And it seems Andrew's on a streak of terrible, terrible ideas when it comes to Neil Josten.

Summary
'At first, he doesn’t register what Andrew’s looking at - just the constant motion of Eden’s swallowing people whole. Then he sees them. Jean and Kevin, off to the side, not quite dancing, not quite still either.
“Huh,” Neil breathes.
Andrew’s expression shifts, tightening in what looks like annoyance. “They’re getting close,” he says, devoid of any emotion Neil could name.
Neil nods slowly, eyes still on the pair. He’s definitely going to have to tease Jean about his crush when they get home. He leans back in his chair, crossing his arms loosely. “I’ll ask Jean about it later.”
Andrew’s gaze snaps back to him. There’s a faint crease between his brows now. “You don’t seem bothered by it,” he points out.
Neil frowns. “I’m not,” he says honestly.
There’s a beat of silence, and Neil wonders if he’s said the wrong thing. Andrew’s expression smooths into something unreadable, but not before Neil catches the way his jaw clenches. His gaze flicks back to Jean and Kevin one more time, then returns to Neil. “Right,” Andrew says.'
OR
Andrew is under the impression Neil and Jean are still dating. Neil, naturally, does not realize this.

Summary
Andrew Minyard is the grumpiest, most foul-tempered worker at the EXY. His assholery is the stuff of legends.
So it’s obviously the talk of the office when Andrew is forced to attend the company party—and he’s bringing his husband. Rumours spiral immediately: anyone willing to put up with Andrew has to be either a masochist, just as much of an asshole, or something small and quiet enough to be steamrolled into submission.What they don’t expect is Neil.

“A truly exciting development here in District 12. Let’s see who will be the other brave tribute traveling to the Capitol this year.” She simply grabbed the first slip she encountered and walked back to the podium.
Neil didn’t even have time to wish for his own safety when she read the name.“Neil Josten.”
A simple The Hunger Games AU because apparently the Foxes haven't suffered enough already.

Summary
According to the team, Andrew is currently losing a custody battle for Neil against a sport invented by the mafia.
It’s a running joke in the locker room: Neil cares about Exy, and then, distant second, he cares about breathing. Andrew is somewhere on the list, probably below the new backliner spread Kevin found.
Andrew doesn't bother correcting them. He knows the difference between a distraction and a destination. He knows Neil runs until his lungs burn to keep the ghosts quiet, but he also knows exactly whose bed Neil crawls into when the adrenaline fades.
(Or: 5 times the team thought Neil loved the sport more than the goalkeeper, and one time Neil made the hierarchy terrifyingly clear.)

Summary
Neil was at a bus station, sprawled on the benches and staring at the ceiling, zoning out to the poorly tuned radio station and ignoring his throbbing body, battered and bruised, when he heard a voice inside him say I don’t like this song.
Neil closed his eyes. “You don’t like anything,” he replied, but Andrew didn’t think Neil was real, so he never stuck around when Neil talked back.

Summary
In the back of the FBIs’ SUV, Andrew watched the rabbits breathing pick up, watched him grip the door handle like he was ready to jump out at a moment's notice.
He gripped Neil’s chin between his fingers and met his eyes. “I told Neil Josten to stay. Leave Nathaniel buried in Baltimore.” He ground out.
Neil’s eyes were wide, pupils blown. He sounded out of breath as he whispered, “What if Neil wasn’t real?”
Andrew had nothing to say to that stupid question, so he forced Not Neil’s head to rest on his shoulder and let the rest of the ride go in silence.or. what if Neil Josten didn't make it out of that basement?

Summary
The man sitting across from him is an exact copy of the doctor he just saw a few minutes ago. Neil is only sure they aren’t the same person because his hair is longer, the strands more disheveled, the lack of ornate equipment around his neck helps distinguish him, and because he also swears he just heard the pediatrician in one of the other rooms still listening to his patient’s stories.
Doctors Aaron and Andrew Minyard.
Neil had thought that perhaps they were father and son.- Language:

Summary
Andrew has always had an overactive imagination and tendency to tell the truth. The problem is, most people tend to focus on the former, rather than the latter. When a certain runaway happens upon the small, California town of Foxvale, everyone assumes that this “Neil” is Andrew’s imaginary friend.

Summary
“All I’m saying is, with hair and eyes like yours ― don’t look at me like that, you know you’re a vision, cutie ― with eyes like yours you could really pull off some more vibrant colors. I’ve got half a mind to dress you as a rainbow to see what sticks, you know. Oh! Now that’s an idea: rainbows! Now that you’re gay and all, maybe you could ―”
“I'm not gay.”
A strange and uneasy silence falls heavy on those close by in a real-life record scratch moment. Foxes exchange furtive glances between each other, stopped in their tracks in whatever stretch they were in, which Neil can’t help but notice when the easy murmurs of conversations closest to him stop.Or: 4 times Nicky pesters Neil about his sexuality, and one time Neil opens up on the subject to Andrew.
Kind of a 5+1 thing, but I got lazy so you get 4+1.Bookmarked by NothingButCacoethes

Summary
Andrew teaches modern literature at Palmetto State; he has friends he actually likes, a badass motorcycle, and a rather lovely collection of single malt scotch. He's fine. He's good, even. So what if not a day passes that he doesn't think about a certain blue-eyed menace with a voice like velvet and a penchant for Beatles songs that he knew once upon a time in juvie?
