Being So Normal by iridescent_blue (T | 18,610 | 2/2)

Andrew has a stable life. He has a stable job, people who he doesn’t hate talking to, a cat who likes him, and a house with a door that locks. He’s fine.

But that’s the problem. He’s just fine. No more, no less. Some days, he forgets that behind the picket fences and pristine gardens are people just as messed up as him, and it feels like he’s alone in Palmetto.

Until he’s sitting at a PTA meeting, bored out of his mind, waiting to drive Renee home, when this guy steps up to the mic. And a lot changes.

I had the previous ask about Neil never being a fox, and to be more specific, ones where Neil straight up was never at PSU but Andrew was. Thanks!

This is a great series! -Beth

Kevin called Neil asking for a favor, and Neil said yes. Now he’s face to face with someone he hasn’t seen in a very long time.—Or: Neil never went to Palmetto to play with the Foxes. Kevin is the worst. And Andrew hasn’t changed a single bit

Do you know any fics of Jean and Jeremy and they have a kid

This is one of my favs

The other hindrance was due to the fact that Santa had been very generous this year, which left Jean standing on a patch of sidewalk he’d kicked clear himself, holding his four year old daughter’s hand and wondering how he was going to get all of their stuff plus the Pink Unicorn Princess Dream House up four flights of stairs without something breaking.

We Are Survivors by BakaDoll (M | 7,785 | 1/1)

Andrew took up coaching after ending his career as a pro Exy player. One of his players seems to be in a bad place, though, so Andrew and Neil make it their task to help her get through it - with unexpected consequences.

[aftgficlibrary]

I wanted to ask if you can give a few recs in which we get to see what would have happened if Andrew had been adopted by a good family or fics about kid Andrew? Not adult Andrew turned into a child. Thank you!

Yes!! I love these!! -Beth

serendipity by faiasakura for talls (G | 3,900 | 1/1)

Serendipity (noun): finding something good without looking for it.

Betsy smiles at him, and Andrew wants to believe it’s genuine, believe she cares about him. It too hard to, when every person he’s ever let in has disappointed him. He wants to believe, but he can’t.

Family is Just a Call Away by tylerscreamingintothevoid (T | 4,321 | 1/1)

After over-working himself past his limits, Neil loses his two jobs. Without a way to support themselves, Neil and Andrew need to move out, and it’s Andrew’s turn to take care of his boyfriend.

AKA: In which Neil and Andrew crash with Aaron and Katelyn, and meet their kids

the smallest minyard by elizajostenminyard (G | 1,341 | 1/1)

Two little eyes look up at him, wide and slowly blinking from within Katelyn’s arms. The child is in a white blanket, wisps of blonde hair on it’s head and a toothless mouth opening and closing. Andrew remembers Kevin telling him the name is Hope.Hope Minyard.

Prompt: Andrew & Neil get to babysit Sophie by orphan_account (M | 13,619 | 1/1)

What it says on the tin, basically.

Aaron and Matt leave for a few days and ask Andrew and Neil to babysit Sophie. Baby-sized exy is involved. Also lots and lots of angst. But there is a happy ending!

Aren’t you Andrew’s kid? by FreakingOutGirl (G | 2,036 | 1/1)

“You are Andrew’s kid?” the coach blurted, clearly shocked with the revelation to which the kid nodded. The man’s eyes flew to his black hair and blue eyes.

“How old are you?”“Ten…” Luke answered, seeing the man make his mental math and reach a wrong conclusion. Luke wondered if he should say the word adoption, but he was having too much fun messing with the coach to actually clarify the situation. He saw the man murmur teenage pregnancy and smirked.

Or

In which Neil and Andrew adopt a kid, Luke. And no one knows about it until one day.

Part of a series about the lives of Neil, Andrew, Luke and with occasional appearances from the Foxes

Forming a Family; Forging a Future by queerwriterbee (T | 16,097 | 7/7)

Andrew jumped to his feet as soon as he heard the door to the apartment open. He’d been waiting on the couch for the past three hours, unable to focus on anything but Persey and Neil’s arrival home.

“Andrew,” Neil huffed, surprised by his boyfriend’s sudden appearance. “Hi. Everything ok? You look… not ok.”

“I want to get married,” Andrew said in response, Neil nearly toppling over where he was taking off his boots. “And I want a baby.”

Neil did topple over at this, falling flat on his ass and looking up at Andrew in absolute shock.

“What?”

Andrew crouched down in front of him, placing one hand on the back of his neck.

“I want a baby. And she needs us.”

(Or: Andrew and Neil foster an infant in desperate need of a family.)

A different kind of danger in the daylight (I can never let go) by QueenNorthway  (T | 6,790 | 1/1)

When Neil Josten's child shows up unannounced to their eight year anniversery of Neil's death, the former Palmetto state Foxes has to face the fact and small hope that maybe, just maybe, he isn't dead after all. And his daughter is a ghost of their friend with his mennerisms and face and they miss him violently

Where You Lead by gluupor (T | 7,345 | 1/1)

When Neil promised Kayleigh that he’d look out for Kevin if anything ever happened to her he’d never expected to be a single teenage father hiding out in a small town. Luckily the town’s residents seem keen to adopt them.

A Gilmore Girls AU where Kevin’s a kid, Neil’s his caffeine-addict father, and Andrew’s a grumpy diner owner who loves them both.
