Summary
Neil swallows back blood. “Andrew.”
“Abram,” Andrew returns.
“I’m losing my mind. I think I’m losing my mind.”
“You aren’t,” Andrew says, so easy, so certain. “You’re tired. You’re scared. That’s it.”
Neil grits his teeth. “I’m,” he exhales shakily. “I’m – seeing things,” he admits.
—
In which Andrew gets into a car accident one week into the off-season, and everything is fine right up until he starts dying every night in Neil’s dreams. Things get worse, and then they get better.
—
Or, how trauma and triggers persist even after decades of safety, and how Andrew and Neil navigate them and take care of each other throughout it all.

Summary
Nathaniel is out of the nest, but at what cost?
***
“You can only put him back together and hope for it to heal. That is all we can do.” Jean said, meeting Abby’s tearful eyes.Abby nodded, picking up her own thread and following Jean’s lead.
Andrew dragged a chair from the corner of the room up to where Abram’s head was resting and tried not to watch. He didn’t succeed, but he could at least say he tried. As they threaded stitch after stitch through Abram’s skin, Andrew sat with his hands folded in his lap and followed Jean’s advice to breathe. Then, he began to plan.

ORNeil is a Fox, Andrew is learning to let him in, and the Foxes have a Championship season to play.

Summary
Nathaniel smiled at nobody. “I knew you cared about me.”
“Don’t kid yourself.”
“You do. You don’t have to admit it, I already know.”
**
Four years have passed since Andrew has seen Abram. Four years since Nathaniel stopped being Abram. There's pieces at play neither of them know about, but Andrew has never been one for patience; he's done waiting for Abram, and Neil is done fighting him.
OR
The one where Neil is Nathaniel, Kevin has a spine, Abram is still a loud mouthed freshman, and Andrew met him in California.

When There’s Nowhere Else To Run, Is There Room For One More? by P234age

Summary
“It’s a little difficult to think clearly with a knife pressed to his jugular, but Neil manages to wonder if he should’ve let the FBI send him to jail instead of here.
It makes sense, unfortunately, that after finding Neil bruised, burnt, and bleeding out on the cold cement floor of his father’s basement, Special Agent Todd Browning might have had some concerns for Neil’s health.
Neil just didn’t expect that concern to include his mental health, too.
Browning had offered Neil a choice that day - after listing out, like, fifty reasons why he thought Neil might benefit from some therapy.
Life in prison or a sixty day stay in a psych ward, followed by freedom.
Neil thought the answer was obvious, but his new roommate still hasn’t removed his blade from Neil’s throat - which Neil is now realizing isn’t actually a knife, but a razor blade taped to the butt of a toothbrush - so he’s rethinking that answer a bit.”
OR
The one where Neil and Andrew meet in Easthaven.
