    Summary

    Making a documentary about the Butcher of Baltimore doesn't have to mean moving into the murder mansion with his son, but Kevin's never been one to do things halfway.

    Summary

    It doesn't make sense. Neil was fine. More than fine. He’s safe at home with Andrew, and this should be the best possible ending to one of Neil’s best days, but when Neil squeezes his eyes shut, all he can see is —

    Riko grinning with vicious pleasure as he slices Neil open. Riko’s eyes reflecting the glow of the lighter licking Neil’s skin. Riko laughing as a tattoo gun needle digs into Neil’s cheek.

    Riko, Riko, Riko, smothering and impossible to escape. Panic knifes through Neil as he yanks uselessly against the handcuffs. No, no, no —

    And then he’s saying it aloud, “No, no, no,” because there isn't a gag cutting into the sides of his mouth. Because Neil isn’t at Evermore. He’s at home with Andrew, who’s right there when Neil opens his eyes — only near the foot of the bed now, not touching Neil at all.

    Neil has long gotten used to reading the faint shades of emotion that pass for expressions on Andrew’s face. But never, not even in Andrew's medicated, manically expressive days, has Neil seen Andrew wear anything like his current look of horrified shock.

    Neil agrees to try the handcuffs in bed. It goes badly. Cue angst and h/c.

    Summary

    Andrew and Neil have a secret(ish) thing. A sort-of thing. A thing that's not exactly a thing, because rule number one of letting a guy sneak into your bed to sleep several nights a week (while you watch him from a safe distance and deny being interested in him) is this: under no circumstances are either of you allowed to talk about it.

    But with just two weeks left before summer vacation, they're running out of time to figure out what happens next.

    Or: Andrew procrastinates on his thesis, Neil sleeps in Andrew's bed, and it turns out that sex is a great alternative to talking about what’s actually going to happen once their semester is over.

    Summary

    He saw the duffel.
    It was battered all to hell and the strap was nearly torn from the bag, but it still glowed almost neon in the darkening night and streetlamp glare. Neil would never…
    He dropped to his knees beside it and rifled through it, looking for any sign, any clue as to where Neil might have run. Nothing, nothing, nothing. Until his fingers found the keyring. Until he found the phone.

    Andrew's perspective on the Binghamton riot and the walking tragedy that is Neil Josten.
