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.

*Due to the Leap Year, I have opted to highlight the day rather than the date to keep the events in occurrence to the 2007 year. I will continue to mark both days accordingly.

tw: opinion
am i the only one who doesn’t particularly think Dan Wilds is a good captain? she lead the foxes to their first championship, but did she? sure she was assertive and tried to get everyone in line. but for 3 years she failed to do what neil did in 1? (unite the foxes) neil obviously had an in with the monsters and an advantage but i feel like if Dan really wanted to, she could’ve (got an in, even if it was small, with them, i mean). and she could’ve asked renee for help. but she basically hated them since what they did to matt in columbia and i feel like she let her emotions/feelings towards that whole situation get in the way of actually trying to bring the team together and stuff?
(and, contrary to popular belief, i think neil’s gonna go on to be a much better captain than her sorry 🤷‍♀️)

The Foxes: Andrew is a monster. He's really dangerous you have to stay away from him.

aftg orchestra au: they’re still exceptionally small in this au, but most of them actually double in another instrument to expand the options of available pieces for them. this is incredibly rare for a professional orchestra, but hey, the fox philharmonic is always exceptional
so the lineup goes like this
Kevin: first violin, basic grasp of several other instruments, but prefers trumpet as his second instrument
Neil: i keep changing my mind but first instrument was viola, however took up flute
Andrew: principal bass
Renee: bass, doubles as cello for some pieces
Dan: viola, concert master, can play violin but not preferred
Aaron: percussion
Seth: trumpet
Nicky: trombone
Matt: cello
Allison: clarinet

'"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

Thank you
Dear AFTG Fandom, Friends, and Family:
To say that it has been a tremendous honor would be an understatement. I am immeasurably proud of what this account has become and it’s due to every single one of you. Your passion for this account was the driving force at the end and I can’t thank this fandom enough for being a rock in the storm of all of this.
I began this account as both a love letter to a story that has consumed me since I was first introduced to it, but it was also created to prove that I could sustain something for this long and this intensely immersive. During this past year alone I have been dealt hands that were not always the best, but this account kept me above water, even through the many sleepless nights. It energized and empowered me through all of your retweets/re-blogs, likes, and comments.
I also want to highlight and thank all 40 artists that gave me permission to share their incredible work. The scenes came alive due to their immense talent and exceptional hard work. Every artist was kind and considerate, incredibly understanding and just as invested in this project as I was. I truly can’t thank them enough for their trust and support.
Thanks also need to be delivered to my wife and best friend who, without their constant push and patience, none of this would have happened. They were my first followers, my biggest fans, and were Abandoned so many times during the course of this and yet encouraged me to keep going. Maybe now we’ll finally have time to play all those games we’ve downloaded over the last year :).
I also want to thank Nora for…. so many things. For the creation of this story, for the encouragement when this account became so big YOU even saw it, and for becoming a dear friend in the process. You’ve been an inspiration throughout this in more ways than I can say.
And finally, I want to once again, thank all of YOU. The followers, the commenters, the re-posters, the veteran fans, the new fans, the obsessed fans, and the casual ones. Fandom can be such an intrinsic and beautiful thing. Pulling people together and bringing a life to these characters through our own individual experiences. We are all our own Foxes in a way, tied together with the understanding that second chances are immeasurable and the family we make are the best ones of all.
You gave this account a shot. And for that I am eternally grateful.
you were amazing.
🦊 🧡- Kelysium

obsessed!! w the idea that the foxes are literally just college students. give me aaron living at the library, class president and head of premed club. give me andrew knowing every sesh spot, nicky with a tie wrapped around his head at a house party. i want neil notorious on campus for being "the mean hot guy", matt dapping up every person he sees, kevin chugging a mickey of vodka to prove to people that he can. and finally allison always getting free club entry, dan being friends with every employee at the school gym, renee blushing in the club bathroom as a group of drunk girls hypes her up. just. college students. absolutely obsessed with the fact that they are simply a group of stupid young adults <3
