May I have a couple Multichapter Andriel fic recs? They can be WIPs or completed, but maybe if they’re not done then have them be at most 3 chapters away from completion? Thanks so much! :)

Hi Nonny!How sweet of you to ask me for fic recs. I had to stop at 6 but I could have gone on for DAYS I TELL YOU,  D  A  Y  S! 

One important caveat: 

As you read, or at the end, I expect you to leave complimentary comments for these wonderful authors. Most of them are friends + I know how much they appreciate seeing the impact their words have on people like us. Make them short! Use keysmashes or emojis! Be sassy! Just be like Nike + DO IT!

Surreal But Nice by @fuzzballsheltiepants, @gluupor + @annawrites (moonix on AO3), both the fic here or the Podficast here (T, 30k, 2 more chapters left!! )This Notting Hill mash-up collaboration by 3 magicians is so.much.fun. Well, except for the most recent 2 chapters. If you don’t like sad cliffhangers, you might want to wait until Sun 29 Mar to start it.Andrew’s quiet life as the owner of an independent, cat-enriched bookstore in the heart of San Francisco’s hills is thrown into turmoil when Famous Actor Neil Josten stumbles into his shop. They argue their way through Andrew’s literary recommendations and into each other’s hearts. But even as Neil is adopted into Andrew’s family - feline and human alike - they struggle to find a way to reconcile their vastly different lives.

you used to call me on my cell phone by OneSweetMelody @thepalmtoptiger (T, 20k, 2018/19) - I love this story so much I could go steady with it. Using hand motions to indicate which character is speaking, I’ve read a lot of this out loud to ¾ of my family. I recommend you pick some people you’re quarantined with + do the same. It doesn’t really matter if they know AFTG or not!a wrong # au where Neil + Andrew start out snarky and slowly move towards friends. 

Piper Minyard-Josten: kid au by OrdinaryVegan / @pastelanxiete (G, 7824 words, 2017) - I love seeing what qualities of Andrew + Neil rise to the surface when they are called to parent a smaller human. I love Piper.Andrew and Neil have a daughter, and she is an actual ray of sunshine.

Trust Fall (and Welcoming Arms) by @spanglebangle (E, 85k, 2017) - This is one the foundational works in my AFTG fanfic library. Everyone has their own “4th book of canon”; this is one of mine.Life goes on after the Foxes win the championship, and for Andrew and Neil it’s uncharted territory with only each other for guides. Maybe it’s time to put away some of those hard edges, and learn how to touch more softly, and speak more honestly. And if they falter, they have their family to help them get back on their feet. 

it suits you by @lolainslackss (M, 14k, 2018) -  OMG I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS FIC. That’s all I’ll say. Go read it.Andrew Minyard is killing time working at his cousin’s central London suit shop as a personal stylist. One day, Neil Hatford, an Olympic athlete in desperate need of a new wardrobe, walks through the door. That’s when everything changes.

Calling Me Back Once Again by @fuzzballsheltiepants​ (E, 12k, 2018) - This is one of my comfort fics; I can’t count how many times I’ve read it. I love the story, feel for Andrew while he waits + I A D O R E the OCs!On Christmas Eve morning, Neil decided to go for a little ski near their ski lodge. An unexpected blizzard hits, leaving it up to the local search and rescue team to find him. Meanwhile, all Andrew can do is wait.

Andrew teaches modern literature at Palmetto State; he has friends he actually likes, a badass motorcycle, and a rather lovely collection of single malt scotch. He's fine. He's good, even.

hi! i saw your post about how the fandom tends to mischaracterize neil and i just wanted to ask if maybe you had any fic/author recs that you think do him justice? thanks and have a great day

hello!!! it’s been forever since you sent this ask, and since we received it at a pretty… salty time, we didn’t really wanna fuel the fires more than necessary. but now that everything’s calmed down, i’ll answer this now, if you don’t mind!

AUTHORS

wellthengetouttathesoupaisle

conniptionns

badacts

BurningFairytales

flybbfly

stttmsbwa

Saul

SashaSea

(note; these are just a few that i’ve found are pretty on point with characterization, and every author (mostly) in the fics section is pretty decent as well)

FICS

fear in a handful of dust - flybbfly

summary;“I need to talk to Minyard,” Neil says, sipping at a soda. “How do I make that happen?”

Kevin chokes on his whiskey. “You don’t.”

In which Neil doesn’t have Kevin Day to convince him to play, so he becomes a sports journalist; Andrew is a keeper in more ways than one; and Quidditch is the sport du jour. Featuring a frankensteined team, eternal roommate Matt, and hawkish sports section editor Dan. Oh, and Andrew has a shady past (present? future?) that Neil can’t quite figure out. But that’s nothing new for Neil, who is constantly hiding everything about himself anyway—this time with magical abilities greasing the way.

Walking Disasters - queenofcups

summary;Andrew and Neil were never going to be a normal couple but for some reason this is really hard for people to understand.

Or: five times people questioned Andrew and Neil’s relationship (+1 time they didn’t give them a reason to)

Kairos - redketchup

summary;In this life, Nathaniel Wesninski runs.

In another, he stays.

In Which Neil Josten is a PR Nightmare - CoverYourEyes

summary;Eve was not the best person in the world. Sometimes she didn’t hold the elevator open when she saw people rushing to catch it from the other side of the lobby. Cutting the line at Starbucks was a semi-regular action.

But Eve did not deserve to be Neil fucking Josten’s publicist.

**********

Or, the one where Neil does what he wants, picks fights with reporters, discovers Twitter, breaks the internet, and really shouldn’t be allowed out of his house.

Andrew does nothing to discourage him.

the coin toss universe - SashaSea (SHCombatalade)

description;A sort-of AU that follows the professional careers and media misadventures of Andrew and Neil.

Take Another Drag - OrdinaryVegan

summary;Andrew knows exactly who Travis is. Travis William Patterson, 27 years old, 6’3” backliner from middle of nowhere, Texas, current starter for the Boston Hurricanes, #9. As a matter of fact, Andrew is looking at him right now. ESPN is showing Exy highlights from last weekend, and Neil’s team just happens to be up at this very moment.

The Neil on screen has just performed some ridiculous move that absolutely should not have ended with a goal but somehow did, and he is immediately met with high-fives from his teammates and an affectionate-looking hug from Travis. Andrew can most certainly be objective, and this exchange looks pretty platonic. But Andrew is also a man attracted to men, and he has to admit that Travis is good looking. Really good looking.

-

Neil seems to be spending a lot of time with his new friend, and Andrew is Not Jealous.

Trapdoor - ronanlynqch

summary;Neil Josten’s first day at Millport’s really shitty High School.

Southern Comfort - ceilingfan5

summary;Neil is drunk and in love and at home in the world. Andrew is drunk and sits on him.

What Does Neil Do? - smokesprite

summary;No one knows what Neil’s job is, but they value him for his eclectic knowledge. AFTG characters in the Kate Daniels universe, for the 3 people who will appreciate it.

the key to sleeping. - andreil

summary;The evolution and growth of Neil and Andrew sleeping in the same bed.

just another language we speak - Yuu_chi

summary;They’re never going to be the sort of couple that other people want them to be.

on giving a chance - BurningFairytales

summary;Neil Josten is a quiet kid. Almost jumpy. He doesn’t talk to the other students, but he’s a good enough player, and his line-up is missing a striker, so Hernandez lets him on the team.

ignominy - Saul

summary;That sentinels - marvels of science, human beings enhanced to the edge of human perfection - fell apart without someone to focus on was, by every scientist’s account, complete bollocks. That all his running went down the drain because Neil happened to match with one was, in his personal opinion, even more absurd.

Meanwhile, Evermore Laboratories continued to care not one bit about what was or wasn’t possible, and weren’t about to let a little matter like basic human rights stop them.

Baltimore Blues - SpangleBangle

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.

The Smallest Exy Player, Now Even Smaller - ionlyloveyouironically

summary;Aaron pissed somebody off, which isn’t a surprise, but what happens to Andrew in retaliation definitely is.(Just another beloved-character-gets-magically-turned-into-a-child fic.)

and this is all i have for now! again, sorry this took so long.

by OrdinaryVegan

Andrew looks to his left. Neil is the only one besides himself who has yet to move. He is already looking at Andrew. Predictable.

Andrew raises an eyebrow at his inspection. Neil stares back a moment more, trying to read Andrew’s thoughts while revealing nothing himself. Slowly, Neil’s carefully blank expression fades away and is replaced by a satisfied set to his mouth and a rather wicked gleam in his eye.

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.

Those That Broke Us by WriteThroughTheNight "Neil doesn't talk about his mom and doesn't think about what she'd do to him if she saw him now. He has a family, he has Exy, and he has Andrew. He has more than enough, more than he ever could have dreamed of.Neil doesn't talk about his mom until a warm fall day outside the locker room, waiting for the start of their game with his team and family. It's a place that she doesn't belong, where not even a memory of her belongs, but she wriggles her way in and takes root in his chest." Or Neil reveals, piece by piece, what life with his mom was like.

Alternate Universe

A Castle of Curses by Greenninjagal (WIP) Neil didn't mean to be found dying in the middle of the forest. He didn't mean to be saved by a couple mysterious voices. He definitely didn't mean to wake up in a castle.After a lifetime of run, run, running and lie, lie, lying Neil has no problem preparing to leave again. But upon waking up in a the rundown castle in the middle of nowhere, and no understanding of anything other than the people in it are extremely weird and hey-- wasn't that statue in another room before??-- Neil finds himself in a predicament he's never had to face before.Neil didn't mean to stay. And he most certainly didn't mean to wake the dragon.

★ call me in the afternoon by Jaylocked Neil had literally been tortured on several occasions, and that was still better than this. (written for the prompt: "andrew and neil meet in a group therapy")

Connection through Pain by sacchan Nathaniel was six years old, and he was in pain. His body ached, but the one actually in pain was his soulmate. Their connection started when he was born, but he noticed its existence only now, and the reminder was very cruel. From now on, Nathaniel would experience the pain and the nightmares of this other person, as they would do the same with his. Till one of them died.

★ Doe & Josten: Deductionists by SpangleBangle (WIP) Andrew Doe, rude but brilliant consulting detective, thought he had no need of a partner as he worked slowly away at dismantling the largest crime family in the country, helping out with other cases on the side to relieve the tedium. That was, until a scruffy runaway with a stupid amount of secrets stumbled into his life. Or, more accurately, broke into his kitchen.

★ Eyes Half Closed by constellationqueen (WIP) The A/B/O au that LITERALLY no one asked for. Sorry not sorry.Neil was promised to Riko when they were little, but Neil has no intention of being taken by that asshole. IDEK LEAVE ME ALONE

Like a River by Moonix (WIP)  Andrew was a statistical anomaly. He was both a Seer and a Squib, an unfortunate combination of genetic traits that still somehow got him into Hogwarts. He had both hands full babysitting Kevin Day, resident Quidditch prodigy, after the drama with Riko Moriyama in fifth year, and making sure his brother finished his last year of education after the death of their mother. What he did not need was another stray to take in – Neil Hatford, formerly Nathaniel Wesninski, prominent guest in Andrew's prophetic dreams with his blue, blue eyes and death omens flocking to him wherever he went. What he needed even less was to start pretending they were in a relationship, but then, Andrew never had been very interested in doing what was good for him.

My Way Home... by ionlyloveyouironically (WIP)  Two years after they run, Mary Hatford decides it's not working.At age 11, Andrew Doe moves into a massive house with his new foster mother, Stella Josten. They make a picture-perfect family: mother, son, and strange boy who lives inside the walls.

No Ordinary Cats by Nekojita  Andrew gets a little more than he bargained for when he rescues a tattered cat from some drunken idiots at work one night.

Nolite te Bastardes Carborundorum by redFreckles (WIP)  It's probably Stockholm syndrome. It was only a matter of time, Nathaniel supposes. Years of violence of all sorts finally catching up to him, these four walls finally collapsing around him, Neil's firm resolve to not be broken slipping out from underneath Nathaniel's uncertainty and folding in on it's own shattered surface.Nathaniel hates Neil, sometimes, for what he means, what he represents. A hope long lost in the hands of his father as he sold him to the devil.Or in which Neil is sold, but not to the Moriyama's.

ode to sleep by jaylocked  Andrew’s barely even noticing his surroundings by the time he walks through the automatic doors, more ready for a Slurpee than he’s ever been in his whole life, but the sight of an attractive man effectively disarming and disabling a guy with a gun gets his attention pretty quickly.(written for the prompt: "Ok, so what if neil & andrew meet in a 7-11 where they both go when they can't sleep at night bc both of them are insomniacs + they're always half asleep so it takes them a while to notice each other.")

Pressure Points by puddlejumper99 (WIP)  Neil enrolls at Columbia High School and remarkably fails at remaining invisibleI've had to fuck with the timeline a bit to make it work in my mind? But most of the canon backstory is intact. Just shuffled about a littleHope you like it! I've never wrote much fanfic before these dumb exy boys completely consumed my life but i cant get them out of my head so here we are.

Right Here in the Light by OrdinaryVegan  A few members of the domestic Andreil household find themselves awake in the middle of the night. In other words, Andrew Minyard is the best father in the universe, and no one will convince me otherwise.

She was Found by OrdinaryVegan AKA Piper: The Prequel

★ Something Sweet by horrorinabakset (WIP)  Neil's mother dies when he is fifteen. As a result, Neil ends up in Columbia, at a diner called Sweetie's. There he encounters a rather strange family, a boy raising his twin cousins.

staff recommendation by flybbfly Andrew works at a bookstore. Neil stumbles in during a bad storm.

Taking in Strays by Leahelisabeth (fortheloveofcamelot) Neil picks up a stray. He and Andrew get a little attached.

The Definition of Overkill by WriteThroughTheNight Neil and Andrew are neighbors and spiders that big should be illegal.

★ to know a man by moonix  In which the Foxes all work at a coffee shop run by Wymack, Neil is their newest recruit with a dark past, Andrew is obvious, Neil is oblivious, and everyone ships it apart from Aaron, who just wants to study in peace. With guest appearance by a stuffed jellyfish called Josephine.

Watermark by fairietailed (JereJean) He hops into the kitchen on one foot, catching his mother before she carries the bowl of peas she’s holding into the dining room.“Jeremy?” Her eyebrows pull together in concern at the look on his face. “What is it?”“I don’t know,” he says, sticking out his foot. “I think it’s my soul mate?”--In which bruises and scars from your soulmate appear on your skin, and Jeremy's skin is a myriad of colored stains.

★ we’re kings of the killing by OneSweetMelody (WIP) When Nathaniel Wesninski enters the Baltimore FBI field office, he comes out as Neil Josten and owes more than than a few favors FBI if he doesn't want to be slammed with a host of charges. With no choice but to work as an FBI agent to pay off his dues, Neil is assigned to a field office in Columbia, South Carolina. However, it only takes a few weeks for Neil's past start catching up with him and for him to start wondering if he's really all that safe in Columbia

Raven!Neil

dangerous and disquieting by feuchsli (WIP)  In which Mary's first attempt at stealing her son away has failed and she only succeeds five years later. But the damage is done and the lack of running-experience leads to Nathan catching up with them. What we see here is the aftermath of that and the hell that is Nathaniel Wesninski's life—at least up to the point when he meets the Foxes and slowly becomes another person under the name of Neil Josten.

Dare You To by quexnk (goldveines) (WIP) Nathaniel's place is at Riko's side, the hidden and elusive number three to Riko's perfect court. His identity is kept secret due to his father's history, but the three on his cheek tells the truth: some things can't be hidden - such as Nathaniel's inclination to his father's personality. Nathaniel isn't interested in being loyal to Riko, he's interested in playing Exy; and his methods aren't always to Riko or his partner, Jean's, benefit. He'll push both his own limits and those around him to play.

★ This is What Hollows by constellationqueen (WIP) (Rewritten) A month after Kevin runs from the Ravens, Nathaniel Wesninski is sent to the Foxes as a message from Riko.

Fluff

Ache in my Bones, Ache in my Heart by imagined_melody Andrew and Neil both find wintertime difficult to weather (pun intended). They take care of each other.

my heart is glowing fluorescent by dizzyondreams Neil woke briefly, shallow wakefulness, that dreamy, half-sleep where he barely opened his eyes. He could hear soft talking from somewhere behind him, could smell cigarettes and boy sweat and laundry detergent, an oddly familiar smell, and before he could really take anything in he was asleep again.

Cauliflower Steaks with Pear Curry Chutney

This recipe has just a few ingredients but a big payoff. Cauliflower steaks are a quick, healthy dinner that can be served with any traditional sides. I love to serve them over quinoa with a side of leafy greens. The pear chutney is a chunky, sweet, savory condiment with a delicate taste of curry. It pairs perfectly with the cauliflower steaks.

Can we can pretend like we're (not) in love? by aceofreaders (Kickasscookieeater) [Not Rated, 5191 words, complete, 2020, locked]

Andrew doesn't understand the difference between small fears and big fears. All fear is the same to him. Foreign, complicated, and large. It is an emotion acutely alien to Andrew, not because he can't feel it but because he's never known how to feel it properly. And you'd think after that Thanksgiving, after Baltimore, there'd be no more of it left to feel anyway.

But life isn't fair. And accidents can still happen. Or almost happen. And Andrew always has more to lose.

I Just Need a Minute by adaintywomanofmystery [Rated G, 1628 words, complete, Andreil Week 2019]

Andrew just wants five minutes alone. Neil and the cats have other plans. Written for Day 5 of Andreil Week, prompt: cats.

More Afterthoughts by wesawbears [Rated T, Collection, Updated 2019]  

Chapter 39: Andreil- Crumbs

As usual, Neil felt he was being perfectly reasonable and had no idea why everyone was so irritated with him. It was just a sprained ankle. He had rolled it on a rock during one of his morning jogs. It wasn’t even a big deal. He’d ran on worse.

fuck you! - sincerely, the universe by orphan_account [Rated T, 3111 words, complete, 2018]

“After everything.” Neil sighs shakily. “After everything, things nearly fuck up because I walked in front of a bike.”

Patch Your Wounds by OrdinaryVegan [Rated T, 2290 words, complete, 2017]

“Really, Neil,” Andrew drawls. He could have chosen to phrase it as a question, but Neil knows he isn’t surprised. It’s more of an acknowledgement of Neil’s apparent inability to remain injury-free. “You’ve been here for less than forty-five seconds, and you’re already bleeding on my carpet.”

In which Neil is a klutz, the cats are a nuisance, and Andrew is his own special brand of helpful.

Savior by hazelNuts [Rated G, 478 words, complete, 2017]

anonymous asked: "Here's ab Andreil prompt: imagine Aaron is about to being hurt and Neil saves him (and ofc he gets hurt in his place) pls andrew's reaction"

Andrew hates Neil. He truly, completely, utterly and thoroughly hates him. His cheeks are numb from the cold. His eyes hurt from squinting at the ground to avoid any slippery patches of ice, and he feels like an overstuffed sausage in the coat, scarf, gloves, boots, thick socks, and thermal underwear.

Amnesiac Christmas AU by @zoned-out-cat [tumblr, 2019]

The Things You Said When You Thought I Was Asleep by @nxah-czerny [tumblr, 2018]

He received the call at 2am. It was one of those rare nights where he forgot to silence his phone, so the sharp ringing woke him up in his usual fits of violence.

[andreil-library]

title: As the Fire Spread author: OrdinaryVegan length: 2022 words description:

Neil’s weight beside him is now familiar and even a comfort, sometimes. But on the occasions when Andrew’s senses are on overdrive and the smallest movement feels like an avalanche, an earthquake, a fucking planetary realignment, Neil knows better than to take Andrew’s abandonment personally.

Neil’s hoodie is thrown over the back of his desk chair, so Andrew makes his way over to dig out the pack of cigarettes from the pocket. He thinks he could light it with just the fire on the edge of his tongue, but he grabs a lighter from the drawer just in case.

Neil wants to help. Andrew just wants to breathe without feeling like his lungs will go up in flames.

Take Another Drag by OrdinaryVegan

andrew/neil, 2k

Andrew knows exactly who Travis is. Travis William Patterson, 27 years old, 6’3” backliner from middle of nowhere, Texas, current starter for the Boston Hurricanes, #9. As a matter of fact, Andrew is looking at him right now. ESPN is showing Exy highlights from last weekend, and Neil’s team just happens to be up at this very moment.

The Neil on screen has just performed some ridiculous move that absolutely should not have ended with a goal but somehow did, and he is immediately met with high-fives from his teammates and an affectionate-looking hug from Travis. Andrew can most certainly be objective, and this exchange looks pretty platonic. But Andrew is also a man attracted to men, and he has to admit that Travis is good looking. Really good looking.

Neil seems to be spending a lot of time with his new friend, and Andrew is Not Jealous.

ordinaryvegan: Just saw the heartbreaking movie “Still Alice” about Alzheimer’s. Although she had a very rare form, it is a good reminder to take care of our brains. via bitly http://bit.ly/2W21L1t
