She Kissed Me (All is Shattered) by Heartfulkings (T | Incomplete | 1/?)

The Exy world is full of vouyeristic fans who speculate about their favorite players nonstop. Unfortunately Drew and Nat, with their electric pasts and ambiguous relationship are perfect fodder for gossip sites and nosy reporters. When the paparazzi catch Kevin in public with the girls, Drew has to decide whether to play along with the public narrative, or to finally give into her possessive streak, making it known who Nat really belongs with.

Ever met a girl worth scratching the hood of your Maserati for? Andrew has.

dance for me by jemwrites (M | 16,028 | 4/4)

Neala gripped the barre. This would be her only chance to dance before her mother would hunt her down and killed her.  You stupid, stupid girl, her father murmured in her ear. She squeezed her eyes shut. All his hard work at keeping her safe, down the drain. Signing with Palmetto Dance meant performances, competitions, publicity. It was signing herself up for a shortened life.  Her pointe shoes complained with overuse as she rolled up onto them.  It didn’t matter if she died. This was the only thing that made her feel alive.

Set after Neil’s mom dies, Neil gets arrested for fake ID. Neil goes to juvie where Andrew becomes his roommate. They play on the juvie exy team together. Dobson is also there as the juvie counsellor.

found it! -rocky

Oakland by AgentCoop (M | Incomplete | 30/?)

When Neil Josten gets arrested for a fake ID and thrown into the Juvenile Detention System, he knows that he's running on borrowed time before his father's men catch up. His mother is dead, there's nowhere to run, there's nothing left at all but an Exy court at the Oakland County Detention Center that he has to earn the right to play on through good behavior. And Neil's never been great at obeying rules. *** An Andriel AU where the boys meet as teens in Juvie.

heya! I love your work and you guys have brought me so many good fics so lots and lots of love for that <333

okay so I read this fic a while ago, I don't wanna burden you guys so dw if it takes time to find it I'm in no rush

anyway so the fic (it was part of a series) basically had Neil and Andrew meeting before college.

Andrew is in juvie and there is this plan to send letter to other troubled kids as a pen-pal of sorts. Neil is actually Abram in this fic. They meet and write letters. They they meet regularly and call each other.

(They meet in juvie and have a thing for a while and when Andrew moves in with Nicky and Aaron they get phones to talk to each other instead of letters) and then Abram is taken and tortured by his father (he was living with Stuart not on the run) they sort of break up cause Andrew doesn't want to force Neil but Neil "doesn't swing" so they are confused and kinda seperated

that's all I remember reading (omg this turned into a long one so sorry about that)

if y'all find it lemme know <3

this might be it? it's locked on ao3 though so you'll need an account to read it

Ink Stains and Paper Cuts by Paradoxolotl (M | 38,089 | 20/20)

Andrew doesn't believe in regret. There's no point in wishing for things that can't be changed after all. He wouldn't go back to stop himself from being thrown in juvie; he had done it to protect a brother he never knew he had. Joining the exy team there was better than being stuck in his cell, even if it was boring. Even the penpal program for troubled youth his therapist put him in ended up giving him a puzzle to play with. That puzzle was 'Hatford'. A boy with a razor tongue and secrets, Andrew can't help but find himself interested in the stranger trading truths with him through poorly written letters. Andrew doesn't believe in regret, but answering that first message may have lead to something he wasn't prepared for. Set before 'Brother of Mine'.

hi! i was looking for some daemon!aus?

hi! here are a couple :)

-rocky

in reference to motility, please proceed by vicariously kingly (pelted) (T | 8,283 | 1/1)

She could be so small, he marveled. She was a cat, sleek and windy. A mouse, whiskers perfect and round ears quivering. A moth, fragile and dusty. A caterpillar, wriggly and colorful. She almost disappears. “Alex,” his mother chided, her voice low and hand tight around his upper arm, but if she wasn't looking at him it would've taken him a moment to know who she meant. She was scared, she’s terrified, her pupils are dots, even though they were just in the second last row of a near-empty greyhound bus. “Stop playing. Are you listening to me?” In his hand, Marie turned into a pill bug and curled up tight. He closed his hand around her, making her disappear.

Finding You by Willow_bird (M | Incomplete | 12/14)

Andrew huffed in amusement and looked back down at the boy, nudging him with his shoe.  "Better luck next time," he offered, not insincerely.  "Fuck you," the boy shot back, still breathless from the hit. He looked right up at Andrew when he said it, too, expression tight with pain and rage and -- oh no. Fuck he was pretty. Shit. Fuck. Shit fuck shit no. This wasn't fucking fair.  --- It's 'The Foxhole Court', from Andrew's POV, where everyone has daemons, and Andrew is a bit of a disaster gay.

The Sphynx and the Hare by darkbluebox (E | 49,809 | 26/26)

Neil knows he should burn Wymack's contract and run until his legs can no longer carry him. His daemon, the mouthpiece to his soul, says otherwise. He's ignored her for far too long; it's time to follow his heart, be it to dream or damnation.

Hi! I just found this page and was wondering if there are fics from Andrew's pov when he finds out what happened to Neil and what the "thank you, you were amazing" really meant.

i found some!

What died didn't stay dead. by freshtaylorswiftduck (T | 11,065 | 3/3)

Neil Josten is dead. Neil Josten was never even a real person.  Thank you. You were amazing. And now Andrew Minyard was left with a pair of keys and nothing else.

choke by reaching_my_summit (T | 1,413 | 1/1)

"thank you. you were amazing." then he was gone. --- or, the riot from andrew's point of view.

You Were Amazing by shewhoisntnamed44 (G | 755 | 1/1)

"Thank you. You were amazing." These words rang in Andrew's head. They were like a bell, constantly reminding him of his own stupidity. His inability to guess the implication of these five words. How had he not seen it? Neil hadn't looked that sad in months.

you were amazing. by rosesau (Not Rated | 5,271 | 1/1)

“Thank you. You were amazing.” Why was there such finality in those words? Like he was thanking Andrew for more than the game? Andrew knows every breath Neil took was at least half a lie, concealed hints of the truth laced with every other word. So why did this sound like the most honest thing he’d ever said?

Amazing by reneewvlkers (M | 4,892 | 1/1)

Andrew can be patient. His knuckles are red, and with that familiar pain comes a wave of calm. He has no control over this situation and that’s nothing new. Neil Josten is a force of nature; utterly unpredictable and infuriating.  But he knows one thing. Neil would not leave if he had a choice. He would come back to Exy, to the Foxes, to this godforsaken bus if he had to limp the whole way. And Andrew will be right here when he does.

i found a playlist abt kevin quitting exy and i wanted to see if there were any fics about that, also in general any fics analyzing/exploring kevin's relationship with exy?

hard to look for and not exactly what you asked for but here's what i could dig up

-rocky

Proof of Life by mostly_maudlin (T | 2,312 | 1/1)

Realistically, Kevin knows he is safe now. No one is after him anymore. No one is plotting to drag him down into the hole he's clawed out of. He has people who will fight to keep it this way.

[aftgficlibrary]

do you guys have any fics where the foxes deal with nicky assaulting neil ?? like whether it’s someone finding out about it or even neil dealing with it

i found a few!

Andrew Finds Out by louisa_pennyfeather21 (T | 3,232 | 1/1)

In an uncomfortable turn of events, Kevin drunkenly tells everyone that he knows Nicky kissed Neil at Eden's Twilight without Neil's consent. *** This is a character analysis of one scenario of how Andrew might react to finding out about Nicky kissing Neil.

the past still bites us by DepressedTerrestrial (Not Rated | 5,051 | 1/1)

On a usual Fox game night involving drinking, a very drunk Nicky hits on Neil and reveals what happened at Eden's Twilight the first time Neil was there. None of the Foxes are pleased, Andrew especially.

/Rape / Non-Con

Delayed Reaction by sunrise_and_death (T | 3,035 | 1/1) but affection for Nicky that he’d almost forgotten there was time when he’d been viscerally and intensely afraid of him.   In which the events of Neil's first visit to Eden's Twilight are finally addressed a year later.

Delayed Reaction (The Fear of Falling remix) by fuzzballsheltiepants (T | 3,068 | 1/1)

Neil has a flashback to his first visit to Eden's Twilight, and the truth comes spilling out. Nicky finally deals with the aftermath and his role in it all, and reconnects to his faith in the process.

[aftgficlibrary]

Hiiii, how are you? I was wondering if by any chance any of you knew about a fic with a My Hero Academia AU! I’d love to read about the foxes and everyone else in a word with quirks! thanks

here's a couple!

-rocky

Hero/Vigilante/Villain by Fire_Bear (T | Incomplete | 2/?)

Neil's father and his associates are famous. They're the heroes that defeat all of the villains on the Eastern coast of America. If Neil didn't know the truth, he would likely be with them. But he knows what his father is like behind closed doors, and so did his mother. Now, with his mother dead and all on his own, Neil makes a fatal mistake. He plays hero. And now he's come to the attention of notorious villain group, the Foxes, and a man named the Monster.

Foresight Can't Cure Stupid by nerdzeword (T | 1,150 | 1/1)

Kevin is real tired of his friends doing things that set off his quirk.

The Foxhole Hero Agency by inadequeer (M | Incomplete | 4/?)

Saving people had felt good. It was the first real thing he had felt other than the crushing waves of grief and the strangling fear since his mother died. He could leave at any time. Wymack's contract was for five years, but Neil didn't have to stay that long. He could duck and run whenever he pleased, couldn't he?

[aftgficlibrary]

I’m looking for an andreil fic it’s slow burn fantasy and had something to do with chimera and Andrew is a angel and renees got like fire wings. Also they go to art school in i think Czech Republic sorry if this one is a bit hard to find <3

i think i might've found it? this sounds like a daughter of smoke & bone au so i went looking for that

-rocky

Of Smoke & Bone by wishbonetea (M | 220, 979 | 30/30)

In general, Neil Josten managed to keep his two lives in balance. On the one hand, he was a nineteen year old art student in Prague with a part-time job in a mostly-normal coffee shop. On the other, he, Allison, and Renee worked for an inhuman creature, running errands in exchange for wishes. For the most part, these two lives rarely intersect. But it's fair to say that the Foxes bring their own brand of trouble, and Neil's two lives soon start to collide. ⁂ Aka the art school au with a secret world of magic and monsters.

fics where neil and andrew are on pro teams but they’ve kept their relationship a secret and everyone thinks that they’re rivals (they can be on the same team or not idc) maybe it’s in a pov of one of their team members?

hello we have a whole tag & masterlist for these!

-rocky

[aftgficlibrary]

Idk if y’all are still functioning, either way take care of yourselves!

If y’all are still going: help me find this fic please, it’s Andreil superpowers, Andrew is a villain, Neil is a superhero with the Foxes. Andrew has a broken knee and needs a knee brace, he’s a villain to pay of Aaron’s medical school bills, he and Neil are arch rivals but Neil gets messed up by Riko and goes to Andrew for safety and help. It’s like 6 chapters at most and I cannot for the life of me remember what it’s called

i think this is it!!

-rocky

heaven and hell (were words to me) by sporadichearttcollector (M | 22,068 | 5/5)

He would never admit it, but his thing for Neil is becoming a serious problem. Half his schemes aren’t even real anymore, if he’s honest. They’re just excuses to see number ten.  Andrew isn’t a hardcore villain anyways, so it’s not really a big deal. As long as he robs a few banks a year, he doesn’t have to worry about keeping a job or rent, and his brother gets to continue med school. It was a good plan until Neil fucking Josten showed up and started meeting all his standards.

[aftgficlibrary]

okay so it was a fic on ao3 and it had neil running a tiktok about being andrew’s husband but his identity was secret from the viewers. i remember specifically neil doing the trend where you drop your towel around your partner. neil also had a habit of taking pics of andrew and ran andrews instagram account for him or something like that.

hey so i don't think i could find the one you're looking for specifically, but i did find this one?

You're like lighting in a bottle by blackjacksdonuts (T | 853 | 1/1)

"Until he got this one request. This one comment on a video of all the boys on the team singing their hearts out to Hopelessly Devoted To You by Olivia Newton John. The comment had hundreds of thousands of likes, and said, “You should do the Electric Love challenge with someone (neil),” with thousands of replies that all had some variation of “Yeah, do it with Neil."" Or: Andrew is Tik Tok famous and he's challenged to do the electric love challenge with Neil. It goes better than expected

[aftgficlibrary]

Neil getting a haircut please and thank u 🙏🙏

yees

It kissed your scalp and caressed your brain by DawnDragon32 (G | 2,116 | 1/1)

“Your roots are growing in.” Neil’s eyebrows furrowed, and he twitched just slightly in Andrew’s hold. “This is my natural hair color.” Andrew blinked, slower than normal, and Neil knew his comment made Andrew slightly exasperated. (title from Buzzcut Season - Lorde)

Neil’s New Haircut by awoogah123 (Not Rated | 617 | 1/1)

Allison takes Neil to get his haircut, Andrew loves it

Don't Touch My Hair! by Raven1704 (G | 635 | 1/1)

Neil needs a haircut and the only person to cut it right has graduated, so he decides to go to a barbershop. Of course, nothing good can come of this. The first time neil goes to a barbershop and it doesn't end well.

the keys to start again by cave_canem (T | 4,134 | 1/1)

Grouping all of the Foxes together in a beach house for a week might not be the brightest idea they've ever come up with, but Neil is going to have to deal with it. His distractions include: exy (banned), a haircut (Allison's idea), fast cars (Neil was the one who bought it anyways), and Andrew (warm and grumpy).  Great.

[aftgficlibrary]

hey, can you perhaps also include a "canon" tag in the tag section? im looking for only canon fics and i have a huge trouble finding them. along those lines, can you recommend some of the best canon fics? (while they're all in college, exploring new territory, group dynamics, etc.) also, what are some of your fave canon fics? thanks!!

hey so we do have that! we labelled it as "canon compliant" for our own tagging system, you can find that tag page here

[aftgficlibrary]

I’m looking for an andreil fic where Neil is roommates with Allison and is sexiled and meets bartender!Andrew

i love how you guys describe fics

still by Stjosten (M | 53,029 | 15/15)

Neil's new life in New York City is loud and overwhelming. He's barely making things work with a roommate whose just on the edge of too much, a shitty apartment that can't seem to retain any heat, and a never ending job hunt that keeps coming up empty. What he doesn't expect to find in New York is something to keep him from floating away. It ends up finding him anyway.

[aftgficlibrary]

I would like to recommend the works by KathrineJ, specifically the 'Sometimes to run is the brave thing' series, which is a really heart-breaking take on what would happen if Neil ended up becoming a raven after staying at Evermore for xmas. It's 2 parts, with one part being Andrew's POv and one being Neil's. Loved Jean in this too!!

thanks for the rec!!

-rocky

sometimes to run is the brave thing by kathrinej (M | 20,341 | 2 works)

It has been years since Neil disappeared in the night, only to reappear the following semester on the starting line-up for the Ravens, the name Wesninski painted across his back. A chance encounter at a Gala leads Andrew to believe there might be more to the story of Neil's defection than what they'd been led to believe. - In which Neil would do anything to protect his family. If protecting them meant he could never go home again, so be it.
