What being raised by a Serial Killer does to a Child (A study of Neil Josten) by Aether_Nights

Summary
Neil Josten had become much more open with the Foxes after the events of his second kidnapping.
That wasn't to say he was an open book, not even close. Most of the Foxes could count what Neil had said about himself with their fingers, and, unless it was Andrew (or Kevin - but chances are that came from their history together more than any actual sharing from Neil) they wouldn't even make it onto the second hand. And when Neil did mention something about himself, it was never anything big. He liked cookies, the colour orange was growing on him, and he could do a perfect British accent because his mother had been from England.
Or:
A series of moments where the Foxes look at Neil and can go "Oh yeah, that Kid was Definitely Raised by A Serial Killer."

Summary
In general, Neil Josten managed to keep his two lives in balance. To most, he was a nineteen year old art student with a part-time job in a mostly-normal coffee shop. On the other hand, he worked for his uncle, running errands in exchange for magical wishes. But when he’s paired with Andrew Minyard for a collaborative art project, Andrew starts to unearth secrets too dangerous to reveal. Neil knows a threat when he sees one, but when his two lives start to collide, Neil will learn that some things are worth fighting for.

Summary
It’s been two months since he burnt his mother’s body and then buried her bones on a random beach in California, but every night he felt like it had only been hours. Nightmares were mixing with his grief and kept him up at night.
He wondered how long he would survive.
PING!
Neil stilled, scarcely breathing. It sounded like an elevator, or maybe like an alert in a hospital. Like a notification chime. Neil kept his body tensed, ready for whatever made that noise.
‘Error initialising.’
He’s gone insane. The little sleep he’s managed and his grief have converged and melted his brain, because there’s no other explanation for Neil to be seeing words in front of his face right now. “What the fuck?” Neil breathed quietly.
Two months - two months and he’s gone insane without his mother’s harsh guidance.Bookmarked by The_Lost_Reader

Summary
“Okay, so lets just keep going then...I choose Sheena to go next,” he said with an inviting smile that did not reach his eyes and Neil knew it was probably Dan’s idea to have Matt call on one of the most problematic freshmen. There were high chances it was supposed to be some sort of peace offering that, given the smirk on Sheena’s face, she absolutely decided to not accept. Absently, Neil thought that the face she was making made her look even uglier than she normally would, which should be impossible. His captain would be very proud to know he decided to keep that thought to himself. Neil mentally prepared to be attacked, but instead Sheena looked at Aaron.
“Never have I ever killed anyone”
or
The freshmen are causing problems and Dan decides a Never Have I Ever game is the perfect team bonding activity. Chaos and Foxes shananigans ensue.
