The Foxes at Christmas Time pt. 2

So, I had bunches of fun with the first one and decided on a part two!

Part 1: https://hey-its-just-alyssa.tumblr.com/post/634536838695124992/the-foxes-at-christmas-time-edit-pt

- When the Foxes decorate, Nicky attempts to scale the Christmas tree to cling to the top

- Wymack has to forcibly pull him down

- "BUT I'M A STAR. I BELONG AT THE TOP-"

- When the Foxes go Christmas shopping, Neil sits in the cartwhile Andrew pushes it down the aisles

- Andrew adamantly refuses to wear a coat no matter the weather

- He ends up getting sick

- Neil fusses over him

- Andrew loves it

- "Get back you junkie I'm fIne."

- Matt can bake(like, really well) and he makes different cakes for Christmas

- Kevin wakes up tied in lights one night after passing out drunk

- Nobody fesses up

- But they plug the lights in and make a Kevin-Day-Christmas-Tree

- Kevin complains because it isn't exy themed

- Allison hangs up mistletoe around the house for the sole purpose of an excuse to kiss Renee

- I know Nora vetoed that idea but I like it

- Aaron gets caught stealing the cookies left for Santa

- He pretends to be Andrew

- The Foxes have these personalized ornaments that were commissioned by Dan

- They also make the pictures from the Fox picture collage into ornaments

- They get a white tree and string it with orange tinsel

- Neil and Kevin and exy ornaments

- One year, Andrew and Neil brought their cats, and the cats wrecked the tree

- The cats were banned

- The Foxes make Christmas cookies

- Renee makes these beautiful, traditional Christmas cookies

- Dan makes Fox themed cookies

- Matt makes plain colored cookies

- Allison attempts the traditional cookies, but ends up making them look like a mess of colors

- Aaron makes one(1) singular cookie with a Fox paw on it

- Andrew watches Neil fail rather than making his own

- Neil and Kevin compete to make the best exy/Fox themed cookies

- They both suck

- Nicky makes smiley faces and pride flags

- Wymack just watches and makes sure they don't make too much of a mess

- "DON'T MAKE A MESS, BOYD THIS ISN'T YOUR HOUSE." " But Coach. It is. "

I have an andreil head canon of the two of them being cellists. 

if anyone knows the duo 2cellos, then I think you know where I'm coming from like I know they are straight but the chemistry when they play is insane

- so they meet through Kevin, obvs

- Andrew picked up the cello before juvie, with an overly strict foster parent before class

- neil was raised on the cello by his father and mother, until they were on the run

- Kevin thinks Neil needs someone to chill him out and that Andrew needs some more variation

- they clash immediately, their styles different and techniques opposite. where as Neil is all passion and practice, Andrew is experimental yet passive with his obvious skill.

- but as they practice and perform together, they grow to compliment each other 

- Andrew keeps the more slow, steady beat and Neil is the flourishments and highlights of the music. 

- their chemistry on stage grows a crowd, and soon they are playing concerts instead of ceremonies, touring and playing at the most prestigious of places

[the-wolvesallcry]

the fma!au I never knew I needed

I CANT STOP THINKING ABOUT FMA SO HERE WE GO

• andrew and aaron didn’t grow up together but Andrew left later than he does in canon

• (Andrew is sold by his mother to an alchemist that is intrigued by his eidetic memory and intelligence)

• aaron is left alone with his mother and everything (except the drugs) happens the same as in canon

• flash forward to 10/12 years later, the minyards meet up again. Andrew notices Aaron’s bruises and figures out what’s going on

• ( andrew went through the same canon things (turns out the alchemist wasn’t that good of a person) )

• Andrew comes back home, makes a deal with Aaron and threatens Tilda

• Tilda doesn’t listen, Andrew kills her and Aaron freaks out

• “What did you do what did you do what did you do WHAT DID YOU DO? WHY WHY WHY? YOU WENT AWAY AND NOW YOU THINK YOU CAN COME BACK AND TAKE EVERYTHING I HAVE AWAY FROM ME?”

• AARON tries human transmutation to bring Tilda back but he obviously fails miserably, the Truth takes his heart as equivalent exchange and he’s about to die

• ANDREW saves him in extremis and granted that the Truth is an ironic little shit and canonically chooses each sacrifice to simbolyse what they lost, in exchange for Aaron’s heart Andrew has to give up his “mind” (That in fma lore is what connects the soul and the body and in this AU simbolyses the ability to feel emotions) (take this as the equivalent of when Andrew is under medication)

• so aaron is saved and has andrew following him with all the drama of him still unable to forgive Andrew but also feeling guilty for what Andrew has to give up

• then the foxes + Neil come in with Neil that will make a deal with the corrupt military to take back Andrew’s mind using a philosopher stone, in exchange for his true identity

• andreil eventually happens, the moriyama (homuncoli) remain in control of the military but Neil’s father (a general) is killed so the kids can still go on minding their own business

Hi, I love my math nerd Neil and my Chef boy Andrew so here’s how they meet

⁃ so Neil goes to palmetto Uni for maths, and he rooms with boxer Matt

⁃ Matt has obviously made him be friends with the upperclassmen and they are all family (Seth is a little shit sometimes though)

⁃ Neil does some tutoring with Aaron

⁃ Nothing they both don’t understand but they were tutoring partners in year one and just decided they worked well together

⁃ So they sometimes tutor the other in things if the other one doesn’t understand

⁃ Aaron sometimes needs help with equations

⁃ They also just are friends™️

⁃ Neil doesn’t know Aaron has a twin but Neil has met both Katelyn and Nicky

⁃ Katelyn and him go shopping together but that’s besides the point

⁃ So

⁃ Neil and Matt go out for dinner one night at a local Italian place

⁃ Neil loves pasta and Matt loves pizza so really, Italian can never go wrong

⁃ And it was amazing food, like really really good and he is in awe

⁃ And Neil mentions it to Aaron in one of their sessions

⁃ And Aaron is just like hmm not my thing my brother puts too much salt in it

⁃ (Aaron the only one with too much salt here is you hun)

⁃ And Neil is shook bc brother????

⁃ Why haven’t I heard of him before???

⁃ Aaron tells him that Andrew didn’t want to go to university but decided to stick nearby just in case

⁃ And took a job there and decided it interested him

⁃ So he quickly worked his way up

⁃ Neil decides he needs more Italian food so drags all upperclassmen there

⁃ Almost all of them got pizza except Neil and Allison

⁃ They both got pasta bc who chooses pizza over pasta?

⁃ While Neil is coming out of the toilet, he spots Aaron walking in the direction of the fire escape

⁃ So he’s like I’m gonna say hi to my friend and follows him

⁃ We all know it’s not Aaron

⁃ And Andrew whirls on him, knife in hand, demanding to know why he’s being stalked (by a handsome shit)

⁃ And Neil is confused bc Aaron mentioned brother, not a frickin twin

⁃ Andrew is still confused as to why the hottie isn’t reacting to his knives like a normal person

⁃ Neil asks Andrew about pasta making and is it something he could learn

⁃ Andrew laughs in his face

⁃ But Neil can see it’s not genuine, and he wants to see a genuine smile

⁃ Does he know why? No. Does he want to see it anyway? Yes.

⁃ So Andrew puts the knife away and takes out the cigarettes

⁃ He’s not gonna stop what he came out here to do in the first place, he’s on a schedule

⁃ Neil sticks around, he saw the Marlboros

⁃ They stay in silence, Neil sighing contentedly every once in a while

⁃ Andrews break is over but for some reason he didn’t mind Neil crashing it

⁃ So he just says ‘I’m Andrew’ as a way of goodbye

⁃ Neil smiles (he already knew that from Aaron) but gives his name up anyways ‘Neil’

⁃ And Neil goes back to their table, ignoring the worried stares (because he was at that toilet for a godawful long time)

⁃ And they go back often

⁃ Sometimes Neil sticks around, sometimes he goes and just smokes in silence with Andrew

⁃ Until it’s not in silence

⁃ And hesitant conversation is made

⁃ And Andrew finds out Neil knows his whole family

⁃ And decided to invite him to Eden’s

⁃ And voila

[kickfoxing]

I was watching my brother play xbox when I realized... professional sports teams have video games. With avatars that look just like the players and have their stats. Sooo professional exy teams could have a video games.. and when Neil and Andrew went pro they would see their little video game selves

okay so listen:

andrew never pays attention to literally anything going on with his exy career

like seriously? he goes where they tell him and does what he’s contractually obligated to do 

so when he had to wear a weird suit and pretend to block a bunch of fake shots he thought it was probably some weird form of monitoring his health or muscles

of course he doesn’t tell neil about it in their nightly skype calls becuase it’s unimportant in his mind

unknown to andrew, neil also did the same thing but doesn’t much care for video games so he also says nothing

basically a literal day after it’s happened they’ve both forgotten about it 

but then the game comes out 

and everyone starts tweeting them about it

and making funny vines with 6-foot whatever kevin day being checked by 5′0″” andrew minyard

(it’s probably some thing where you can just like assign the players any position for fun idk)

neil picks up on it an favorites a bunch of videos on twitter

(poor boy didn’t know other people could see his likes)

and of course matt calls neil the day it comes out

“neil! you didn’t tell me we’d both be in a video game together?!? how sick is that! you totally have to come over and play, bro”

basically neil loves it because he gets to play as andrew and ends up mimicking him as he does it 

“my names andrew and i squish garbage in the can until it’s too full and i refuse to take it out”

“hey guys, watch out! i have the ball and i’m not afraid to beam it at your ankles if you look at me the wrong way!”

“i’m andrew and i pretend to hate the cats but wheni think neil’s not looking i make kissy noises at them and hold them in my arms”

“neil’s bothering me so i’m going to pretend he’s a vegetable and pretend he doesn’t exist”

of course andrew catches him doing it one time when neil thought he was home alone and was playing online with matt

(he was home alone but had jumped into a monologue as andrew and was too distracted to hear him walk in for his weekend visit)

of course andrew decides to get him back by doing the same thing as neil

“my name is neil and i’m an idiot who has no self preservation”

“watch out kevin, i’m here to steal your one true love away, the court”

“did you guys know that i leave my socks all over the apartment becuase that’s where they belong?”

it definitely turns into a way for them to get out their petty aggression on one another

and if one of the foxes just happens to post multiple videos of it online and create a small phenomena, then that’s between them and the thousands of views

[cvnctator]

youtuber/vlogger jean

jean initially bought a camera so he could document the beauty of the nature and upload his videos on youtube. he would watch his videos as  a way to remind himself that he was free and that every thing was real.

but then, from those few short clips of everyday life, somehow it turned into clips of his team mates and friends

so after some months his videos became more of daily vlogs with the team

“good morning everyone, it’s thursday 6.45 am and oh... that’s jeremy with his oversized care bear pajama pants”

“so we just got on the bus after the match with penn state and this is my team, celebrating as if we already won the championship” jean points the camera to his team, jeremy and alvarez leading every one as they sing “we are the champions”

coach rhemann is at the background actually waving his arms, eyes closed and singing quietly

“okay so i got a lot of request, and these are my lockers essentials”

room mate tag with jeremy knox!!

dorm room tour! “i got this plastic organizer and aroma diffuser from muji” “this candle is my favourite, it smells like cinnamon” “my bed covers are from anthropologie” “so that’s my side of the room and this is jeremy’s”

“uh... it’s kinda messy.” “he has a stack of kpop albums. his favorite groups are apink and gfriend” “and that’s a stack of manga. i still don’t know how he managed to convince me to watch the new season of my hero academia” “and that mug... is from three days ago and he hasn’t washed it yet. JEREMY.” jeremy was forced to clean his side after that.

exy tips for beginners from usc’s captain and usc’s number one backliner “exy rules for first timers.” “how to choose you racket” “how to choose your position.” 

alvarezisthebestbackliner commented “uh excuse you moreau”

q&a with the team!!

“jeremy, how do u keep you teeth so white” jeremy shrugs “i don’t actually know? jean makes me use his toothpaste and make me brush my teeth after every meal.”

“alvarez, you’re always eating in the background on jean’s vlog. how do u maintain your figure?” alvarez smiles and puts her arm around laila, “we work out a lot in our free time.”

“jean, how do u balance college, exy and youtube?” “i keep a planner where i just write everything i have to do, it’s all about self control and knowing how to manage your time well.”

queenofexy2 commented, “those are cute pyjamas jeremy”

queenofexy2 commented, “i agree with your tips jeremy.”

queenofexy2 commented, “first comment! again! btw, i love ur outfit jeremy.”

queenofexy2 has turned on the notification for jeanmoreau’s channel. queenofexy2 is always the first to comment and hit the thumbs up as soon as the video is uploaded

kevin day is not ashemed

he gets his daily dose of jeremy knox

A “Red String of Fate” Soulmate AU for @andrewjsten for the @tfcfemslashnet exchange!

Dan’s red string shows up her freshman year of high school and she steadfastly ignores it

Dan Wilds does not have time for soulmates thank you very much she has exy practice and needs to make money appear from no where if she’d like to eat tonight 

Allison was born with her string 

It was a highly publicized thing, like everything else in Allison’s life would be

Allison could never date without speculation, without ruthless teasing, so she simply stops giving a shit about her soulmate

Honestly fuck them if they’ve given her this much trouble before even meeting yet

Renee’s string shows up when she’s nine years old and she rolls it up and tucks it into her pocket

She thinks of the string like her own little secret and plans to keep it to herself for as long as she can 

Sometimes the girls at the club comment about Dan’s string, either about how lucky she is to know she’s got someone out there or with sympathy because Dan can’t always hide it during her acts and nothing could be worse than having grabbing hands reaching for her soul connection 

Allison keeps her string coiled around her upper arm

She doesn’t care who sees it, but the next person who tries to touch it is gonna get a broken arm and they do 

Renee still keeps her string in her pocket and tries not to think about it on most days

Renee hates the color red, these days 

When they get to Palmetto Renee has her string hidden, Allison’s is on display like a dare, and Dan is out of shit’s to give 

None of them are actively looking for their soulmates, but as soon as all three of them walk into the locker room together for the first time Allison’s string tugs itself gently off her arm and reaches towards the other girls

Renee’s has sprung from her pocket like it’s finally alive and Dan’s is actively fighting from where the other girl had it wrapped around her neck like a necklace. 

“Interesting,” Allison says, as their strings connect 

All three of them can feel the connection, can feel the electricity running through their bodies, can feel this love

“I don’t have time for this,” Dan growls, glaring at the strings like they’ve personally wronged her

Renee doesn’t say anything at all 

Dan tries to turn away and get changed for practice but Renee reaches out to her

“We’ll talk about this later, yeah?”

“Like shit we won’t,” Allison declares and for now they drop it

After practice they go back to their dorm room and all sit down on the floor facing each other

“So, soulmates huh?” Allison says with a wiggle of her eyebrows

“It’s a difficult concept to believe in,” Renee admits, “but I’d like to give this a try if you guys do.”

“I’m stuck with you two for five years, guess we better figure our shit out,” Dan says

Dan is not wholly optimistic about this endeavor 

She doesn’t like these girls, she doesn’t need these girls, and these soulmates of hers can go to hell 

Where were they when she needed them?

Allison is even less optimist, if possible, but she’s always been a romantic, if a slightly cynical one

Renee is the most at peace with this, however it turns out, because she has herself and she has Stephanie, and she has God, but she’d love to have her soulmates too 

Renee and Allison get their shit figured out first

Even if all three of them put up a united from for the team, it’s still cold behind closed doors but Allison and Renee get along better 

Somewhere between Allison helping Renee dye her hair and Renee showing Allison how to pick locks they fall into friendship and quickly into something more

They tell Dan and she just shrugs, “You’re soulmates, it’s fine. Just don’t fuck until all hours of the morning we have practice.”

She doesn’t join their relationship and Renee doesn’t pressure her, even if Allison wants to

Dan pretends she’s not jealous, she doesn’t have time for this, she has a class one exy team to captain and she can’t be distracted  

When Christmas break hits Renee talks Allison home to Stephanie and Dan stays at Palmetto

She stays in the dorms and she works out at the court and she spends time with Wymack and Abby

Abby’s the one who asks her about her soulmate, because Dan’s string is in her medical file 

And Dan, despite everything inside of her telling her not to, tells Abby everything 

When Renee and Allison get back from break it’s to find Dan standing nervously in their dorm room

“Soulmates,” she says. “They can be platonic. Or romantic. Or something else. Obviously you guys are something and I don’t want to fuck with that. And I don’t want to fuck with my game. I need this scholarship. But, I guess, if you’re okay with it I wanna give this a shot. Soulmates.”

Allison grins like she’s something predatory and Dan almost regrets saying anything at all before suddenly she’s being wrapped up in a hug by the tall blonde followed by a gentled hug from Renee and suddenly they’re all dogpiled on a very small dorm bed

The rest, as they say, is history

[bramlouisgreenfeld]

“Your boyfriend isn’t here,” Nicky says, almost facetious. Neil assumes he’s referring to the fact that Neil is rarely in their room until the late evening; after classes he and Andrew tend to spend the most time alone. But that’s not the issue Neil takes with Nicky’s statement.

“He’s not my boyfriend,” he says, and walks to his desk to start assembling his books.

“Oh man, I’m sick of this,” Nicky says, dramatically rolling his eyes. “I’ve heard Andrew say he hates you, or say you’re ‘nothing’ or whatever, and we all know it’s bullshit.”

Neil almost smiles. “It’s not a lie.”

“Okay, sure, whatever. What would you call it, then? Partners in crime?”

Neil shrugs. He’s never had to find a word or phrase for what Andrew is to him. It doesn’t matter.

“Oh, come on, even you have to admit that’s ridiculous. He’s your boyfriend. It’s simple.”

“He’s not my anything,” Neil replies. Andrew doesn’t belong to him.

“Tell me,” Nicky pushes. “If he’s not your boyfriend, what is he?”

Nicky is going to continue pushing it, Neil knows. The best way to get him to stop is to give him an answer, though Neil also knows that giving an answer Nicky doesn’t like is just as likely to keep the conversation going. So Neil thinks.

There’s no title Neil can give Andrew that would be right. Boyfriend is juvenile, partner is almost too serious, significant other is a mouthful and altogether too formal; and all come with the issue that it would make Andrew into some type of belonging.

And besides, how could all Andrew is be confined to a single word? He’s home, he’s safety, he’s stability. He’s everything Neil never knew he needed and the comfort Neil never thought he’d get to feel. He’s warmth and fire and sparks. There is no word for the multitudes that make Andrew: the intelligence, the strength, the humour; his jagged edges and sharp eyes. 

Well, there is one word. “He’s Andrew,” Neil says simply, because that is, and always will be, enough.

[romanqynch]

hi! would you do a matt and andrew headcannon?

Hello, sure! I don’t know if this is what you wanted but send another ask if you want another one! Thanks for the ask, and hope you like it

Matt and Andrew didn’t have a good beginning because of that incident at Columbia

(but admittedly, everything after wasn’t that good either)

That’s how he ended up keeping to himself + the other upperclassmen & having minimal conversations with the Monsters

So when he meets Neil, he is surprised by the fondness he has for him & that feeling of… protectiveness over him

However, he doesn’t manage to prevent the events at Columbia (but Neil comes back in one piece, and Matt is fascinated by him)

Matt knows he isn’t going to deeply involve himself with the Monsters, but he keeps an eye out for Neil- made sure he was alright & tried to reassure him (he knows Neil isn’t leaving the Monsters anytime soon)

And the most amazing thing happens- Andrew eventually warms up to Neil (in such a way that gets Matt’s jaw dropping)

When Matt calls Neil and finds out that Andrew is tutoring him, he wonders if Andrew is as “heartless” as everyone paints him out to be

Sometimes he even sees something flicker in Andrew’s eyes as he watches Neil (something…Matt has never seen before)

[sometimes Matt sees something in his eyes even when he looks at other people- Renee, Nicky, Betsy… even the upperclassmen]

And Andrew is never one for worry, but when Neil disappeared…something dangerous swam in his eyes (and Matt knows that look all too well)

He decides right there and then that Andrew isn’t heartless or uncaring.

And the way he went to Neil- when they finally found him- this was not a monster

this was a person (who cared, although his words always seemed to say otherwise)

And Matt finally understands what happened with Nicky- why Andrew made such a ruckus… and why he let his sibling hate him (and why Andrew couldn’t stand seeing Katelyn without annoyance)

This understanding, however, didn’t mean that everything between Matt and Andrew was all sunshine and happiness after that- no, it was a long, long process (But Neil did help ease the tension between the upperclassmen and the Monsters)

Post-Neil- Matt tries to talk to Andrew a little more (not to much avail, but that was alright)

It was better than nothing

And one day the upperclassmen end up wanting to invite the Monsters along for a trip (yeah, they’ve come a long way…)

They can’t seem to find the other underclassmen, so they wind up deciding to ask Andrew

Matt is the one that asks (he lost two bets and at rock paper scissors so)

“Do you and the others want to join-”

“No,”

Matt frowns, but continues to hold Andrew’s intense stare as he continues to speak

“Ask Neil. He’s the one who will want to go anyway.”

Matt knows the look of surprise on his face is obvious, so he tries to put on his best poker face (doesn’t work)

“Okay.” Matt says, as he walks away

Matt knows Andrew would go if Neil agreed.

Yup, he definitely wasn’t heartless.

And knowing that… made it easier for him to face Andrew- to not fear the Columbia incident- and really see him

(This is what Renee saw in him- this is why she stuck around and talked to him)

And Matt is beginning to understand why.

[c-e-d-dreamer]

Okay so you know that prompt that’s like “we pretend to be engaged because this bakery/shop is doing free wedding cake tastings for couples and I love free cake”? Well I’ve yet to see it done for Andreil which I don’t get because like y’all know that Andrew would never say no to free cake! So as such, please now enjoy my ramblings…. 

So it goes like this:

Andrew and Neil are casually strolling down Main Street with all the shops and restaurants and stuff

Matt’s birthday is coming up or something and Neil has to find the ultimate best bro gift

And he drags Andrew along

So they’re going from shop to shop and Neil sucks at buying gifts so he is StrugglingTM

And as they walk to the next shop, they pass this bakery with a sign out front that says “Getting married? Come in for a free wedding cake tasting!”

And Andrew is like free cake? Fuck yeah

So he takes Neil’s hand in his and pulls him into the bakery

And Neil is a bit dazed and confused because he’s not used to hand holding in public like this??? PDA??? What is happening???

But he follows Andrew anyways

And this really chipper sales lady greets them and says, “oh my gosh, aren’t you two just the cutest couple! You’re here for the wedding cake tasting?”

“Yes,” Andrew says

So the lady goes and gets the samples ready

And Neil turns to Andrew with a smirk and a raised eyebrow like really?

But Andrew just rolls his eyes

“Let’s see how rusty your lying is, Josten”

And Neil is just like fuck it alright

So the lady comes back with the samples and she’s like super chatty

“How long have you two been engaged?”

And Neil who is a Little ShitTM says “Not very long. It feels like only yesterday we weren’t engaged”

“Who proposed to whom?”

“Oh he asked me. I didn’t even know what was happening at first. It was just a regular Tuesday and then the next thing I knew, we’re engaged”

The sales lady doesn’t seem to realise it’s literally Tuesday

Andrew just glares over his cake

It continues on…

“So how did you two meet?”

“Andrew literally swept me off my feet when we first met. I couldn’t breathe for almost a full minute”

“Oh, how romantic!”

“He’s just the sweetest”

Then the sales lady turns to Andrew and asks, “how are you liking the red velvet? It’s a popular choice”

“Yeah, how are you liking the red velvet, honey” Neil adds because honestly he’s actually having too much fun with this now

But Andrew is like fuck you, Josten. Two can play at that game and he just says, “you should try some, dearest” and literally feeds Neil a bite of cake off his fork

Seriously as soon as these two get challenged they become the absolute worst

And Neil kind of hates Andrew because he’s keeping a perfectly blank face while Neil is trying so hard not to laugh

“It’s delicious. We should definitely go with the red velvet, babe”

“Whatever you want, sweetheart”

Afterwards, when they’re leaving the bakery, Neil says, “so are you going to surprise me with the actual wedding too?”

“Shut up” Andrew says but there’s no real heat behind it because he’s full of free cake and lowkey content

He also raises Neil’s percentage too probably

Because how dare Neil make him think about the future there for a second. The future that he totally wants with Neil

But I digress! ANYWAYS!

The next day at afternoon practice, Nicky keeps looking between Neil and Andrew all weird and suspicious

And finally when they’re all having a water break, Neil is like “what”

And Nicky is like “I think I should be asking you two that question. You’ll never guess what happened in my marketing class this morning. Paul, who sits next to me, leans over and says ‘oh hey congrats to your teammates on getting engaged’”

All the Foxes go a bit quiet

“Apparently, Paul was at the bakery on Main the other day, and who should he see? Neil Josten and Andrew Minyard of the exy team sampling wedding cakes!”

Anddddd I’m not really sure where I’m going with this if I’m honest plus this is hella long omg

But like I can’t decide if the Foxes would believe it:

All the Foxes would make a bet then and there about who proposed to whom

Nicky: “I know you two like to keep private, but I can’t believe you didn’t say anything! I’m so happy for you”

Matt: would clap Neil on the shoulder “congrats man! You know, I’ll totally be your best man” what an ultimate bro Matt Boyd is

Or if the Foxes would call BS

I also can’t decide if Neil and Andrew would keep up the farce because they thoroughly enjoy fucking with people

Or if they’d just come clean

But the point is!!! Imagine Andrew and Neil pretending to be engaged for free cake

TFC Ghost AU: Wymack is hunted by the foxes

ok ok so the newest ghostbusters movie gave me this fucking idea! What if Wymack was just a struggling coach who bought this new court to try and start an Exy club, and he’s hunted by the past ghosts of the athletes who used to play on said court? LETS GO

Wymack knew the reason why this court was being repeatedly sold and bought again and again he just didnt give a fuck

he ain’t believe in no ghosts

biggest fucking mistake ever

so the first day he moves his things into the coach office he doesn’t unpack and he leaves the boxes filled with his stuff closed off good while he went to telephone a clean crew to come and clean this court because it hasn’t been cleaned in ages and is that slime on the walls?

so he comes back later and all the boxes are open, nothing is out of it’s place and everything is just folded back in the way Wymack supposedly put it that way

that is until he spots the green slime on his folded shirts

the second day the clean crew comes to clean off this fucking court and make it usable and Wymack is trying to sort through his slime covered stuff and he places his hot coffee on the table and when he tries to reach toward it, it just slides away 

he reaches again and yep continues to slides away

he huffs and stands up to make another cup when suddenly the cup is violently shoved into his palm, scorching coffee spilling

Wymack glares at the empty space in his room and then takes a sip of his half filled cup

fucking ghost with an attitude

A shout alerts Wymack to the court he sees the cleanup crew running away as the lights above the court flicker ominously 

the sound of an Exy ball hitting the court floor when there is no ball

Wymack goes and makes another cup of coffee

The third day he sets out to clean the court himself

green slime continuously reappears on surfaces he cleaned moments before and then mysteriously disappearing

Wymack calls it a day and goes to try clean up his office

there is a fresh cup of coffee with a smiley face standing on his slime free desk

the boxes are gone and all their content are tidied up in the cabinets alphabetically 

There are papers of applications on his desk’s, from parents who heard rumors that the court was starting up the Exy club again and wished to get in contact

Wymack takes a sip from his smiley face cup and eye’s the door of his office that opens without a creak

He swears he could feel someone smirking in the room with him

The fourth day is better. The slime is gone. Random balls of Exy jumping around the court. Now it’s real balls and not just sounds of Exy balls hitting floor.

On the fifth day the cleanup crew is back, slightly concerned for their safety but still do their job, with no interference's this time surprisingly.

Wymack sets about to read about the history of the Court. He find out who the athletes were here before the court was shut down because of their mysterious deaths. 

There is another cup of coffee on his desk again, this time with a smiley face of the poo emoji. Wymack pin’s the name and face of ‘Neil Josten’ to his attitude problem ghost. 

On the six day Wymack brings several Exy raquests and balls and leaves them on the floor of the now spotless court. 

He sits in the office when he hears the thump of a single Exy ball against the court walls and the sound of several racquet’s fighting on it.

There is a cup of tea on his desk today. His office smells like cinnamon. The files of the deceased athletes are on his desk, piled neatly. The rainbow streaked hair of Renne Walker catches his eye as she smiles sweetly from her file.

On the seventh he starts to hear them. A voice grumbles at Wymack as he skims over the files of the children who wish to apply to the Exy club. 

A whoop resounds from the court as Wymack hears the court buzzer go off

An maniacal laugh resounding through the court at night, followed by a loud thump and a growl.

The door of his office would close with a bang when it got too quiet, sometimes several times before Wymack fixed the door with a glare and it stopped

on the eighth day Wymack starts talking to them. not on purpose, he just couldn’t help reply.

It happens when he’s skimming over the club applications, when he suddenly hears “That kid is too scrawny, he won’t be able to make through one half of an Exy game.”

“For fuck’s sake Kevin, he’s a kid.”

“No one asked for opinion, Hemmick.”

“Rude!”

“Nicky I thought we went over this, Kevin’s a dick.”

an annoyed huff, followed by laughter.

“Point on Dan.”

“I don’t see you choosing anyone Boyd. “ Kevin

“I like all the squirts. They seem good kids.”

“Doesn’t mean they’ll make the cut.”

“All of them are gonna make the cut, now shut up Day.” Wymack doesn’t even pause before replying, eyes set on the papers before him.

There is a pause, filled with tension. Wymack drinks his coffee when suddenly

“Yes coach. “ It’s a different voice, one Wymack can pinpoint too only based on his past actions.

“Spare me your word’s Josten”

His office is filled with laughter and Wymack finally feels like he can relax.

I just thought about neil resting in the crook of andrew's neck and now I'm crying

[kickfoxing]

matt, walking into a room: i want to see my little boy

dan, cradling neil in her arms: here he comes!

[cvnctator]

i’m rereading TFC again and I can’t get off my mind the image of Yoongi with blue hair as Andrew T________T

Headcanon’s about sleepy & soft andreil mornings like 10 years into the future after psu when they’re comfortable and used to sleeping next to each other and exhausted by exy, inspired by my own sleepy self in need of affection™

sleepy kisses, unfocused eyes, cold nose bumps, socked feet, warm breath, trailing fingers.

andrew licking his dry lips as he cracks his eyes open to look at neil.

neil burrowing his face into the juncture between andrew’s neck and shoulder.

wet warm kisses on top of the covers before the start of the day.

neil moving his head closer to share andrew’s pillow when they’re both awake.

neil gazing at andrew.

neil’s sappy like that and andrew doesn’t hates it. “you’re staring josten.” “you like it.”

faces and lips inches apart.

soft™ kisses & content hums (lookin @ u neil)

warm cats jumping onto the bed, cuddling up to neil and andrew.

neil stroking king fluffkins back fondly.

andrew scratching behind sir fat cat’s ear abentmindedly.

neil sloppily kissing andrew’s neck “your neck fetish is still unattractive.”

neil’s lips quirk up remembering those words from a distant conversation years ago, when things between them were still new and hesitant, unsettled.

and sometimes, from time to time when neil wakes up, he still thinks of his mother and sometimes his father and the 22 names of a runaway and the 8 years lost in fear.

but then he looks next to him and there’s andrew.

tiredly blinking up at neil while he gets ready for his morning run, some days when the suns just coming out, staring sleepily with something in his eyes and there’s no place he’d rather be.

drabble for @nwesninski, who requested an urban fantasy au - i hope you enjoy this vicious inspired au!! || want one?

On the worst day of Neil’s life, Andrew dies.

Surprisingly enough, this is not what makes it the worst day. It had qualified long before Andrew falls to Neil’s feet, long before he’d faced his family for the last time. It had started staring down the barrel of a gun and it seemed it would end the same way.

Neil doesn’t even bat an eyelid at the body at his feet. It didn’t change anything. He was going to die here; he’d known it all along. It would be at his father’s hand, as slow as Nathan could make himself go. Neil wouldn’t give him the satisfaction of his pain. He clenches his jaw and says, “You got the wrong one.”

Nathan laughs, sharp and loud, but before he can say anything, Andrew sits up.

At that, Neil’s mouth hangs a little agape. Andrew is red with both his and Neil’s blood, sat in a pool of it, bullet holes riddling his shirt.

“Andrew?” Neil says, suddenly crouching to pull Andrew up.

Andrew accepts Neil’s hand, sticky with blood, and pulls himself up with surprising sturdiness. “Your father is a useless shot.”

Laughter bubbles up in Neil’s chest, sudden and almost choking.

Bang. Andrew’s body jerks with the force of a bullet.

Bang. Neil watches a second bullet land on Andrew’s chest, a fatal shot, surely - but no new blood appears.

Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Shots sound as Nathan steps closer to the duo, and Neil notices crushed bullets land at Andrew’s feet.

“Looks like you’re going to need stronger bullets, Nathan,” Andrew drawls, never one to be fazed by the impossible.

Andrew turns, shrugging Neil’s hands off him, and stands squarely between Neil and his father.

“What game is this?” Nathan growls.

“It’s a new one,” Andrew says, pushing Neil back. “This will be fun. How many bullets do you have left? Will it be enough to get through? I don’t think it will.”

“What did you do?”

“Oh, I think it’s what you did,” Andrew says, then strikes, knocking the gun out of Nathan’s hands.

Neil blinks and Andrew has handled Nathan and his crew. It must have taken longer, but Neil couldn’t say for certain. He doesn’t know what Andrew is capable of beyond bulletproof skin.

When Neil is certain Andrew’s done, he approaches him and reaches a hand out slowly to his face. “What happened?” He wonders aloud, running a hand down Andrew’s cheek - it feels the same under the layers of blood.

“I think I died,” Andrew replies, matter-of-fact.

The breath catches in Neil’s chest. “I thought so, too. But you’re here.”

Andrew gives him a hard look.

“This isn’t linked to your research project,” Neil says. “Your theory about superheroes.”

“EOs,” Andrew corrects blandly.

“So, what, you died and came back with special powers? A gift from God?”

“More like a gift from biology,” Andrew replies.

“Yeah, sure.”

“How else would you explain the fact that six bullets bounced harmlessly off my skin?”

Neil opens his mouth for a second, then shrugs. The human body may be capable of many extraordinary things when under stress, this he knows, but he doesn’t think defying death quite this literally is among those. “Does this mean you’re a zombie now?”

Andrew considers that. “Technically.”

Neil sighs. “I really thought that if my dad was gone, my life could go back to normal.”

“Your life has never been normal,” Andrew says. “Come on, I’m sure the Feds would love to get their hands on these bodies.”

“Come on, Neil,” Neil replies tiredly. “Just get over the fact that I’m a superhero now and your family is dead, we’ve got to move on.”

“Exactly,” Andrew says, already climbing the stairs.

“Don’t you think this gives you an unfair advantage against Renee?”

“There are no rules in sparring.”

“Who brings bulletproof skin to a knife fight?”

“I’ll bury you alive.”

“I’d love to join you in zombiedom.”
