AU where Neil never joined the Foxes, but ended up an Exites employee. He plays short one-on-one games with players who want to test their new racquets, and has inadvertently honed his skill against so many different types of players with different expertise. Andrew's group goes to get Kevin some new equipment, and Neil knows better than to play well against him. But Kevin forgets himself and gets a little too excited about testing out a new racquet, whipping the ball at Neil so fast that Neil instinctively slams it back hard enough to light up the goal on the opposite side of the court. Kevin is slack-jawed that some random retail worker scored against him so quickly and so easily and shuts down for a minute while his brain reboots. From a distance Neil swears he hears someone mutter "Interesting". Then Kevin's brain is back online and starts begging him to try out for their team. Neil realizes their is one thing worse than being recognized by Kevin Day and dragged back to his father: not being recognized by Kevin Day and trying to convince the grown ass man to get up off the floor and stop clinging to his legs and holy shit jackass, can you pretend to have some dignity??

Which of the Foxes are religious about Groundhog’s Day and which ones are meh about it?

I feel like Nicky would go into the group chat and say something like, “The rodent has proclaimed more winter!” Or something similar. Neil would ask what rodent and the Foxes would be like, “Neil, how did you miss this while on the run??”

Andrew looked up from his book to check on Neil on the couch. Neil had been unusually quiet while watching the exy game on tv. Neil was spaced out tracing his fingers on his arm bands in figure eights and circles.

“Yes or no?” Andrew asked as he bookmarked his page and stood up. Neil blinked as he came back to reality. “Yes or no?” Andrew repeated once Neil was focused on him.

“Yes.” Neil said as Andrew nodded to himself as he ducked into their room. Neil stayed on the couch waiting to see what Andrew would grab. When Andrew came back out he had the box with coloring supplies. “What are you going to do with those?” Neil asked with a tilt of his head.

Andrew opened up the case revealing the markers. “You’re tracing the scars again. I thought maybe coloring them might relieve some tension. These markers are water based so they’ll wash off.” Andrew explained as he drew a squiggle on his knuckle. “So, yes or no?”

Neil hummed and tilted his head as he looked at the markers. “Okay, yes, let’s try it out.” Neil decided with a nod and began rolling down one of the arm bands. He put the arm band on the coffee table. He plopped his bare arm between Andrew and him. “Is there a grey?”

“You and your grey!” Andrew rolled his eyes as he handed Neil the grey marker he already had ready. “Do you want any particular design?”

“Paw prints?” Neil suggested as he opened his marker and began making tracks. Andrew pulled out an orange and followed Neil’s lead. By the time the exy game was almost finished Neil’s arm looked like he had tiny creatures running around his body.

“Do you feel less tense?” Andrew asked as he captured his marker.

Neil smiled. “Yes, I hadn’t even realized.” He traced one set that Andrew had colored. Neil glanced at the tv. “Are you kidding me?! How could you miss that!” Neil said to the tv as the losing team made a spectacular fumble.

Andrew smirked as his Junkie returned to his normal self. Andrew moved the marker case to the coffee table and curled up next to Neil enjoying the restoration of life in his eyes.

Fin~

Andrew paused as he looked at the scene in the apartment. The couch was covered in blankets and all the stools and chairs were covered up too. The TV was on playing some film from the turn of the century with a laugh track. He knew the movie title of course, but that’s not what is important. The cats were darting in and out of the blankets chasing and batting at each other.

“What is this?” Andrew asked as he finally entered the apartment and closed the door. A rummaging sound came from the pile.

Finally an auburn head popped out from one of the blankets. “Andrew! Look what Matt showed me!” A crooked smile and gleam in his eyes. Andrew took off his Docs and bag before entering into the mound with Neil’s assistance. Inside the mound it was dark. “Where did I put the switch?” Neil muttered as he felt around near him. “Ah-ha! Okay, this part Dan suggested.” Neil explained as he clicked the switch. Above them the mound lit up with fairy lights. The lights twinkled and covered the top of the mound.

“Oh wow!” Andrew breathed. He lightly touched one of the lights. “What brought this up?”

“Matt was reminiscing about blanket forts he made as a kid and when I said I never made one he called Dan and we built this. I was thinking we could camp out here tonight.” Neil gestured to the makeshift bedding at the sides of the mound. “Matt and Dan also gave me a pile of DVDs and said that it was our homework to watch them all.” Neil pulled out a stack of ten DVDs. Andrew took the pile and started to card through them.

“I haven’t seen any of these.” Andrew admitted as he looked through the different animations. “Did any of these pop out to you to start with?” He laid them out on the ground so they could look at all of the titles.

“Matt thought we should start with A Nightmare Before Christmas or The Princess Bride.” Neil tapped the DVDs. Andrew tapped A Nightmare Before Christmas and grabbed the TV remote. Andrew turned the TV over to the DVD channel as Neil popped the case open. Once the movie was starting Neil wrapped them both into another blanket which goes to show that Andrew having blankets stashed in every room was a smart decision.

“Yes or no?”

“Yes,” Neil replied meeting Andrew’s eyes. Andrew reached around and hugged into Neil. As they moved into a better position for cuddles they moved the DVD pile out of the way. The movie progressed and drew both of them in from the visuals to the soundtrack to the plot. When the movie ended they both were tired and each had a cat on top of their laps.

“Want to stay in the fort tonight instead of moving to the bed?” Andrew asked since he could feel Neil’s breathing begin to even out.

“Yes, Matt and Dan said we needed to do that.” Neil agreed as he stretched like a cat before wiggling into the blanket more.

Andrew gazed at his junkie fondly before turning off the television and fairy lights. When he was done he laid down and looked at Neil’s face. He fell asleep counting the freckles that appeared on Neil’s cheeks from his time in the sun. They both slept peacefully in their blanket fort that night.

Of course, in the morning they awoke to both of their cats meowing for breakfast right in their ears.

Had a dream where I found prints of gorgeous AFTG art in the wild at an art market and woke up to only feel disappointed it wasn’t real.

I love how aftg artists draw Neil with various shades of skin colour and he still always looks like Neil, but then we all agree that Andrew is forever fucking translucent. Like- he stands two seconds under the naked sun and he turns into a lobster with armbands

You know that soulmate au where they have the name of their soulmate on their heart?

What if the name changed and was added to based on how the other thought of themselves at the time? So while Neil was on the run he would memorize his new name so hard it transformed on Andrew. Then Andrew would be Andrew Doe until he finally got rid of Tilda.

Then when they get together the final name stains their skin permanently and if they make nicknames for each other they appear around the soul mark.

Which of the Foxes have biten their dentist or would if given the chance?

Andrew gives the vibes that he has done it unapologetically. Aaron is 50/50 on apologizing if he bites the dentist.

Had a dream where Andrew and Neil made an appearance. Andrew gave Neil a rainbow snake ring that is worn on the upper part of the finger right below the nail. Andrew had seemed pleased with himself.

They were just side characters in my dream which had the main plot of an airport filled with spies and P.I.s

I headcannon that Aaron and Andrew refer to strawberry milk/pink milk differently. Aaron would refer to it as Strawberry milk and Andrew would call it Pink milk.

If either heard what the other called it there would be a fight every time.

I want an aftg coffee shop au where Neil grew up British and Kevin Irish, and Andrew as the shop owner is subjected to their bickering while quietly loosing it over Neil's accent.

Despite having more teammates, Neil still regularly plays full games bc he knows he can and likes to. Wymack let's him bc it's one of the only sure-fire ways to get that boy worn out enough to chill. His stamina is out of this world by the time he goes pro and his team doesn't know how to handle him bc pros have way bigger teams and there's no way a rookie is going to get that much play time (not to mention, you just don't do full games that's ridiculous)

But like

What are they supposed to DO with him

He runs circles around them at practice despite being there long before and after official times. He's been caught multiple times by himself late at night. And when he's not on the court, he's on the bench running his mouth.

His coach reaches out to the coach of another team, one he thinks might be able to give some advice. But Kevin's coach just says "oh god i was going to call and ask YOU wtf to do he's going to decimate my team"

They conference in a third coach who is not much help bc the only thing David Wymack says after laughing himself breathless is "good fucking luck" and he hangs up

#all exy coahes have each others numbers #but really i want neil so nervous about his first pro team bc he remembers acclimating to collegiate exy this must be harder than that #but during his first scrimmage he runs literal circles around his teammates #this is stupid let me have it #aftg #neil josten #all for the game #the foxhole court #tfc #this is beautiful #david wymack #exy #neil cannot sit still is canon

What did everyone think the series was going to be like before you started The Foxhole Court?

My friend thought it was going to be a graphic novel since the fanart is so consistent with how the characters look.

I thought that it was a Russian story that was translated to English and that Neil and Andrew were rival Mafia members that started playing exy in a local group where they ended up forging a bond.

I’m so curious on what other folks thought the books were going to be before they started.
