Summary
It’s a community service event at some garden. Some publicity stunt the board wants them to do for good exposure – improving upon the team’s image, Andrew thinks, especially after the events of last year. While the rest of the team reluctantly goes through the motions, no one can top Andrew in his apathy towards it. But when Neil begins to show interest in a certain pet project, Andrew finds himself reacting in ways he never predicted possible.
Aka: a slice of life with the Foxes where growing is hard, healing is messy, and sometimes words aren’t enough.

Summary
When Andrew came to Palmetto, he never thought it might become home – and even now he’s still not sure it is. Despite living there for nearly six years now, he doesn’t really feel like he belongs. He feels like he’s drifting, simply surviving day after day of whatever life has in store for him. Then Neil Josten shows up – a redhead with a fiery attitude and a million secrets, and Andrew's interest is instantly captured.
But the thing is…Neil’s not the only one with secrets in this town. Everyone seems to have something they’ve kept hidden in the dark. And as soon as one thread gets pulled, they all seem to come unraveled…
Featuring second chances, making mistakes, budding relationships, and as many fall shenanigans as possible – welcome to the smalltown world of Palmetto!

Summary
Neil channels all of his energy into looking incredibly unbothered, like getting caught crashing a wedding by the groom’s twin-slash-best man was all part of his grand plan.
The other man breaks the silence first. “Who are you?”
Stubbornly, Neil keeps his ass planted on the ground while he racks his brain for the bride’s name. Kate? Kathryn? Katie? Oh, right—“I’m Katelyn’s cousin.”
The best man tilts his head, observes Neil, and says, “No, try again.”
Fuck.
*
Neil is no stranger to crashing weddings. This one would've been a walk in the park, if not for the groom’s twin getting in his way.

Summary
Neil's been on his feet for the last thirty-six hours. His leg is aching, his interns are all idiots, his charge nurse thinks he should've gone home hours ago, but Neil can't bring himself to leave the knowing chaos of the ER.
He tells himself he'll see one more patient. One more, then he'll clock out.
Except, Neil's last patient of the day turns out to be a professional exy player, who's just punched another doctor, might be hiding some knives, and seems determined to notice everything Neil is trying to hide.
And, well - maybe Neil doesn't want to hide from one Andrew Minyard.
OR
Neil is an emergency physician and Andrew is a pro exy player who keeps finding himself in Neil's ER. Oblivious flirting ensues.
Kevin's there too. Just...being Kevin.

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
He glances up as if he can feel someone looking at him and Andrew is assaulted by a pair of unnaturally blue eyes. They seem cold and distant, a silent challenge for Andrew to do—something, but Andrew doesn’t know what.
All he can think is that the boy is dangerously pretty. The idea of asking him to go into the alleyway between Eden’s and the bar next door for a quickie flits through his mind before the boy scoffs and rolls his eyes.
“Can I help you?”

Summary
The phone rings once. Twice. Then, the line clicks, and a raspy voice says, “Hello?”
“Neil Josten,” Andrew says, not quite a question.
“Speaking.”
“I heard you’re in the industry of house sitting for professional athletes.”
Or: Andrew needs someone to house sit and watch his cat when he goes to away games. Neil needs somewhere safe to crash at night. Andrew has a weak spot for pretty boys.

Summary
Pain was Neil’s first language and his oldest companion—a constant, from childhood terror to the chronic ache of survival. He learned its grammar alone: how to ignore it, how to use it, how to endure it. His pain is his burden, and only he could be trusted to carry it. Until he finally learns otherwise.
Or
(Five times Neil dealt with pain alone. And one time he didn't have to.)

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
Their towels are already spread on the sand, bags and shoes placed at the corners to keep them from blowing away. Neil is sitting with his knee pulled close to his chest, staring out at the water, seemingly fine, but Andrew knows better. He always does. Neil wouldn’t have even noticed anything was wrong, if Andrew didn't suddenly press his palm against the back of his neck.
“Your mother is dead,” Andrew says, detached and even. “But you are alive.”
Neil and Andrew take a needed trip away to the coastline. The soft sand and salty air stir up more memories than either of them hoped it would.

Summary
“Shit,” Neil gasps as Andrew kisses against his collarbone, licks a stripe up the side of his neck, before pressing one last kiss against his mouth. “Well, this is already very different from my past experiences.”
Neil is nearly breathless. Andrew mentally pats himself on the back. Take that, Brandon.
“So, he kissed you,” Andrew says. He means to sound authoritative, self-sure, but it’s lost somewhere in the rawness of his throat. “What else.”

Neil going on dates isn’t necessarily a new occurrence anymore, but Neil kissing Andrew is.

Summary
The day after Neil disappeared in the middle of the night, Kevin called.
Andrew stared at his phone as it rang. He was in the process of opening a can of cat food, which was a two-handed activity. He set down the can opener and picked up the phone.
“What,” he said.
“You were fucking Nathaniel Wesninski?”
Andrew knew Neil’s real name, and he knew where he had come from. He’d known since the beginning. Neil was a good liar, but he was an obvious liar. Andrew didn't mention any of that to Kevin. Instead, he said, “Who?”or: andrew quits smoking, and he goes to the olympics. eventually, neil comes back.

Summary
“And when he’s gone?” Andrew asked.
Then I’m gone too, Neil thought, but didn’t say. There likely wouldn’t be any reason for Neil to run, but he was going to, anyway. Everyone looking for him would be dead or in jail by the time the FBI was done, but Neil had never been taught to stay in one place. He wasn’t sure if he even knew how. All Neil knew how to do was disappear.
“I’ll be alone, I guess,” Neil said with a shrug.
“Lucky you,” Andrew said. He flicked his cigarette butt off the roof and onto the sidewalk below them.
“Yeah,” Neil said. He stubbed his cigarette out on the sole of his shoe and tossed it over the side of the building after Andrew’s. “Lucky me.”or: neil is an insomniac. andrew is going to beijing. they aren't supposed to meet, but they do anyway.
