But what if Riko did kill Matt?

Imagine the angst?? Dan hating Neil, Allison (again) hating Neil, SETH hating Neil, Neil hating Neil.

Would Neil stay if he knew that Matt, the person he could genuinely rely on, was killed because of him?

[yes-i-exist-shutup]

Matt: THATS MY WIFE!!!!!!

Neil: Matt that’s your girlfriend

Matt: oh shit really? I forgot

Matt: *deep breath*

Matt: THATS MY GIRLFRIEND!!!!!!!

The foxes and Mother’s Day headcanons

(Specifically the twinyards and Neil)

Andrew and Aaron Minyard

Andrew and Aaron always give Nicky stupid mothers day cards, usually Andrew’s says something along the lines of “you don’t suck” and Aaron’s is just a tacky dollar store card, it’s a running joke!

But one day they both give him their cards and then immediately walk away and Nicky’s like “???” Because they usually stay to watch him cackle over whatever ridiculous shit is on the card

But this time the cards are different. Hand-made (and therefore not all too decorated…) Nicky is like “aw okay that’s sweet” but when he opens the cards they’re both just… a list of genuine thank-yous from the twins

Needless to say he cries for like 10 minutes straight.

Neil Josten

Eventually Neil starts mailing Mother’s Day cards to Dan, she hangs them up on a cork board (along with a collection of Father’s Day cards Matt has received

I don’t know how to elaborate further on that one, sorry

[orionchildofhades]

hc that every single person who meet Neil and Matt together think they are dating, even if Andrew and Dan are there. Just Matt and Neil calling each other pet names and being super close and touchy all the time.

The foxes as the champagne problems bridge :))

Renee: 

Your Midas touch on the Chevy door

November flush and your flannel cure

Matt

"This dorm was once a madhouse"

I made a joke, "Well, it's made for me"

Neil

How evergreen, our group of friends

Don't think we'll say that word again

Kevin

And soon they'll have the nerve to deck the halls

That we once walked through

Allison

One for the money, two for the show

Aaron

I never was ready, so I watch you go

Dan

Sometimes you just don't know the answer

'Til someone's on their knees and asks you

"She would've made such a lovely bride

Andrew

What a shame she's fucked in the head, " they said

Nicky

But you'll find the real thing instead

She'll patch up your tapestry that I shred

'"You're a Fox," Andrew said, like it was that simple, and maybe it was.'

I could've added a lot more details to this and it's not 100% accurate to the book, but I had to stop myself or this would've taken me another week to finish lmao

“He needed to know what Nathaniel was saying in this historic moment.”

The King's Men - Epilogue

Day: Saturday, April 27th / 28th* Time: 3:10 AM EST

Neil waits off to one side while the others file out, knowing Andrew will be the last to leave. Wymack knows better than to stick around and follows his Foxes down the hall. Andrew brings Neil's duffel to him. Neil takes it but drops it off to one side. Andrew studies it for a moment, then shrugs out of his own bag and puts a hand to the wall near Neil's head. "Your close calls are getting old," Andrew says. "I thought you knew how to run." Neil affects confusion. "I thought you told me to stop running." "Survival tip: no one likes a smart mouth." "Except you," Neil reminds him. A year ago Neil had been a scared nobody, hating himself for signing the Foxes' contract and counting down days until he moved in with Wymack. Tonight he is the starting striker for the first-ranked team in the NCAA. In two years he'll be captain, and in four he'll graduate from Palmetto State. Neil will find a professional team first and then fight tooth and nail to make the cut for Court. Neil can already imagine the weight of an Olympics medal around his neck. He doesn't even care what color it is so long as it is his. Better than that bright future is what he already has: a court that will always be home, a family who'll never give up on him, and Andrew, who for once hasn't wasted their time denying that this thing between them might actually mean something to both of them. Neil didn't even notice the silence at first, too distracted by his dizzying thoughts. Now he can't help but smile and pull Andrew in. This is everything he wanted, everything he needed, and Neil is never letting go.

END OF ALL FOR THE GAME SERIES.
