Summary
A few too many seconds of freefall and Andrew couldn’t keep his mouth shut. He should have shut down, locking his emotions in for only him to know about. Instead when the plane leveled out, Andrew spoke the weighty words that others threw around casually. Words neither of them had ever said.
During heavy turbulence, Andrew accidentally says I love you. Even though they fly back home tomorrow, he’s still not ready to talk about it.

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
Predictably, Neil’s automated voicemail message answers for him. The number you’re trying to reach is unavailable at this time. The message runs through its spiel, informing Andrew that he can leave a message after the beep.
Goodbye hovers on his tongue. It’s the least that Neil deserves from him. There are so many more things to be said.
Andrew shuts his phone without leaving a voicemail. He drops his phone onto the counter and slips a knife out of its sheath.
Right before spring break during his fourth year at Palmetto, Andrew Minyard attempts suicide. Now everyone has to figure out how to move forward from here.

Summary
But, it’s infuriating, this cold shoulder, this new game that they have. Communication was not their strong suit, not when it comes to them and it's now biting them on their ass as Neil is sitting wondering what is happening. Just tell me it’s the nightmares, he finds himself thinking over the last 9 days, Let me help you.
Alas, it is Andrew and Andrew will never ask for help.
Where Andrew creates distance to confront an issue and Neil is left in the dark.

Summary
"What do you want?" Neil asks softly. Do you want me here? Should I go?
Andrew makes a sweeping gesture with his hands towards Neil, not a 'go away,' but a 'scoot over.' Instead of sliding backward like the motion suggests, Neil goes forward, leaving the side of the bed against the wall open for Andrew. It earns him another look, which Neil pretends not to see as he fluffs his half of the pillow, laying flat on his back. Then Andrew deftly climbs over him, momentarily filling his entire world with soft black cloth, blond hair, cigarettes, Andrew-- and then Andrew is settling in the space between Neil and the wall, and Neil is left staring at the slats of his own bed above his head.
Neil is very awake.
------
This picks up right after the books ended, a short story of how I think the aftermath of the championship game, Riko, and all that jazz would've gone. It is mostly just Neil being extremely sleepy. And having a lot of Thoughts. Mostly about Andrew. More will be added in the series later!

Summary
He wasn’t getting up.
Neil’s teammates were shaking his shoulder and pulling off his helmet. Exposed to the camera, Neil’s skin was waxy and pale. With his eyes shut and his body limp, he looked painfully young.
The medics forced the players away and were taking his pulse.
He wasn’t getting up.
Andrew’s blood turned to ice as memories of Neil, pale, unconscious, and bandaged in a hospital bed, came flooding into his mind.

Summary
It's as simple as this: people like Andrew, destructive and joyless, don't get a happy ending.
If only Neil Josten had stayed a dream.
(The King's Men by Nora Sakavic but from Andrew's point of view instead of Neil's --using the novel and Nora's extra tumblr content to try and be as accurate (hopefully) as possible)

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
Dan and Neil exchange a look. Then Dan sighs, rubbing a hand across her forehead. “Great. Just what we need. A prank war. The last time the team faced one of those, I lost a dealer, a goalie, and someone was nearly blinded.”
“All in one day?” Neil quips.

It’s comforting and frightening at the same time. He’s lived most of his life in a car watching the signs change and fade behind him but it feels different. He’s not running. He’ll be back.

Summary
"You didn't run," Neil murmured, almost to himself.
Katelyn looked at him. Her eyes were wet, fear finally leaking through the cracks in her composure. "You stepped in front of a knife."
"I had to."
"You didn't have to," she said. Her voice broke. "You really didn't."
"He was aiming for you."
"I know." She wiped her face with her free hand, smearing a streak of blood across her cheek. "I know, Neil."
Neil Josten has always treated Katelyn like background noise. She's a liability attached to Aaron Minyard that needs to be managed. But when a ghost from Baltimore interrupts his morning run, Neil realizes that his calculations were wrong.
Or: The one where Neil gets stabbed (again), Katelyn proves she’s more than just a cheerleader, and the Foxhole gets slightly bigger.

Summary
Before he can tune them out as background noise, he hears his name.
"...definitely toxic. I mean, Andrew drives him everywhere, drags him out of parties early, doesn't let him talk to anyone else... I overheard Aaron telling Kate that Andrew picks Neil's clothes out for him, that's controlling as shit."
"Yeah, more like emotionally abusive. I don't get why the others don't do anything about it, though, like, if there was even a chance Neil would listen to me I'd be trying to rescue that poor boy."
"He probably doesn't even realize he needs rescuing, though, right? Like, that's how abusive relationships work. Besides, you know what his life's been like, with parents like his he might not know what a healthy relationship even looks like. And the others are probably too scared of Andrew to intervene."
Or, Andrew overhears an unfortunate conversation and spirals.

Summary
Life goes on after the Foxes win the championship, and for Andrew and Neil it's uncharted territory with only each other for guides.

Summary
⟡⎯⎯
Kenma knew the internet damn too well. He wasn’t the type to believe in yōkai, spirits, nor ghosts. So whenever he stumbled upon urban legends, he always brushed them off. He’d seen too much online to take every rumor or story seriously.
So of course, the brand-new computer he bought had to change his point of view. The legend so many people feared appeared right in front of him—on the very night the person he cared about most came over.

Summary
That’s the part he likes. The shivers he feels become breath dancing across his skin—Kuroo’s or his own, he isn’t sure. The skin crawling sensation folds into the feeling of Kuroo’s skin on his, fingertips dancing across the surface or palms pushing into his muscles. He is still exhausted; they both are. He is still out of breath; somehow Kuroo isn’t. But he doesn’t have to latch onto any lifeline he can to pull that air into his lungs. He is calm, and Kuroo is there.
And Lev’s voice calls out somewhere in the gym, "Kenma! You have asthma?"

Kenma analyzes the parts of his relationship with Kuroo that leave him breathless.

Summary
Kuroo’s always understood Kenma’s need for space—but lately, the silence between them feels heavier than usual. Texts go unanswered. Game nights are canceled. Even Bokuto is starting to notice something’s wrong.
At first, Kuroo waits. But as the weeks drag on and Kenma keeps slipping further away, Kuroo’s patience begins to fray. He doesn't want to push—but he also can't keep pretending everything is fine.
He pulls out a scrap of paper, scribbles a note against the wall with the back of the receipt.
We don’t have to talk. Just let me know you’re okay.It’s late when his phone buzzes. Kuroo’s half-asleep on the couch, blanket tangled around his legs.
Kenma: thx
Kuroo: anytime, reallyAnd then—nothing. No typing bubbles. No follow-up. Just silence.
Kenma said 'thanks.'
But he didn’t say he’s okay.Bookmarked by Itsalls

Summary
Kuroo exhaled slowly, the kind of breath that carries no weight but still feels necessary. His spine ached in three places. His eyes burned. He tried to remember something beautiful about the day—maybe the way the gym lights caught the dust during practice, or the sound of sneakers squeaking on polished wood—but the memory didn’t rise. Just paperwork. Sponsorship decks. A coach yelling into his phone. A player with a twisted ankle. Apologies. Smiles. Endless scheduling.
He rubbed his temples with the pads of his fingers, then leaned back again. His reflection in the window looked like someone he might have passed in the hallway and forgotten to say hello to. He felt transparent. Not in a sad way—just in the way that paper left in the rain becomes too soft to hold its shape.
(In which Kuroo has the worst housing crisis of his life, is way too used to concealing his feelings, and maybe doesn't need the spare room after all.)
