hi! there’s two fics that i’ve been trying to find for like a week with no luck. the first is one where andrew challenges aaron to watch him interact with neil to prove that he’s not being taken advantage of or something to that effect. the second is one where a new bartender at eden’s accidentally drugs neil and andrew has to take care of neil until he comes down. it’s a lil angsty bc at first neil thinks it was andrew! thanks for all that you do!!

This is the first one but I can’t find the second sorry, does anyone know it’s title? -Beth

One day we’ll reveal the truth by allyasavedtheday (T | 3,772 | 1/1)

“Is there a reason you don’t like Neil?” Bee asks him then and Aaron doesn’t understand how the fuck they got onto this when she’s supposed to be fixing him and Andrew.

“I don’t trust him,” he says eventually. “All he’s done since he’s got here is cause trouble.”

“Well, a lot of that was out of Neil’s control,” Betsy reminds him evenly.

“That doesn’t suddenly make him a good person.”

“Watch him then.”

Aaron startles so much at Andrew’s voice he twists in his chair to stare at him. Andrew hasn’t addressed him directly all day but he’s looking at Aaron now.

“You think he’s using me or trying to fuck me over or whatever’s going on in your head- watch him. Watch us for the next week. Stop averting your gaze and pretending it doesn’t exist and then I might listen to what you have to say.”

to this ask: "do you know of any fics where andreil proposes to each other at the same time? like one of them starts to ask then the other whips out another ring or something like that? thanks!" there is mother mannequin by iridescent_blue!! it's excellent

I can’t find that ask again but here it is! -Beth

Mother Mannequin by iridescent_blue (T | 4,704 | 1/1)

Andrew believes that mothers are useless. He also believes that marriage is a sham.

Bee and Neil may convince him otherwise.

Do you guys know of any long Andreil fics that will make my heart hurt? But with a happy ending! I still want to be in pain though lol - also thank you!!!!

Here’s a couple! -Beth

until i see the light by badacts (M | 5,943 | 4/4)

Bee uses the word relapse with him, explains that he’s veering off baseline like he can’t figure that out for himself. All Andrew cares about is that he hasn’t been looking for reasons to stay alive like this for so, so long.

it's all semantics, isn't it by djhedy (T | 4,750 | 1/1)

Andrew’s aware he’s not like other people. He knows. Considers this as he observes Nicky, Kevin and Neil arguing over what should be allowed within Kevin’s dietary restrictions. Andrew has been stacking sugar packets on top of each other to make a pyramid.He’s not stupid. He can see his family making inane conversation with each other and getting something like joy out of it. Spends enough time in his head studying their reactions. He supposes he can see some value. It’s just.He doesn’t know how they can all give away something so freely, so frequently, all the damn time.---in which andrew spends some time wondering if he's whole, if he's enough, if he's happy. neil is patient and bee is contemplative and aaron exists which is enough to get him mocked tbh

This is really specific but do you know of a fic where the foxes/just Neil is told that they have to win a game with no goals let in.. like life or death kinda thing for Neil.. and then Andrew insists/ plays the whole game and shuts out the goal to save Neil.. or ANYTHING similar to this.. please and thank you so much! You all are awesome and your hard work is noticed and appreciated :)

Okay, this I think?

-Beth

Anything by a_case_for_wonder (T | 4,595 | 1/1)

Andrew promises to close the goal against the Bearcats, and Neil says "anything." Now all Andrew has to do is figure out what he wants in return.

OR

5 things Andrew doesn't end up asking for, and 1 time he figured out the perfect trade

Hello, I'm looking for fics with Andrew and/or Aaron in therapy, individually or together. Thanks!

Hello there, There was this fanfic I read some time ago on ao3 about Andrew and Aaron’s therapy session. I recall that there was Aaron’s and Andrew’s pov, there was a bit of Aaron’s relationship with Katelyn and how he dealt with his trauma and there was also this one part where Andrew snapped during one of the sessions and started talking to him all about his abuse and how hard it was to accept that he was gay. So, could you help me find it?

Hey! I think the one you’re looking for is the first one! But the other two are pretty cool too-Beth

My brother under the sun by AgapantoBlu (M | 12,230 | 1/1)

Bee took one look at them and Andrew knew she knew. She smiled, though, and picked up two mugs of hot chocolate that she placed on the table in front of the couch.

Andrew claimed the right corner, Aaron the left. They could have fitted Nicky in between them. And why not? Let’s invite him along too! A big family reunion in Bee’s study, and what could possibly ever go wrong? The last one went oh so well.

(Andrew and Aaron's joint sessions with Bee, an all but easy trip.)

One day we'll reveal the truth by allyasavedtheday (T | 3,772 | 1/1)

“Is there a reason you don’t like Neil?” Bee asks him then and Aaron doesn’t understand how the fuck they got onto this when she’s supposed to be fixing him and Andrew.

“I don’t trust him,” he says eventually. “All he’s done since he’s got here is cause trouble.”

“Well, a lot of that was out of Neil’s control,” Betsy reminds him evenly.

“That doesn’t suddenly make him a good person.”

“Watch him then.”

Aaron startles so much at Andrew’s voice he twists in his chair to stare at him. Andrew hasn’t addressed him directly all day but he’s looking at Aaron now.

“You think he’s using me or trying to fuck me over or whatever’s going on in your head- watch him. Watch us for the next week. Stop averting your gaze and pretending it doesn’t exist and then I might listen to what you have to say.”

i'm getting static from my better sense by errantgods (Not Rated | 1,685 | 1/1)

“Okay,” Bee says, “we’re going to try something.” Unlike their one-on-one sessions, where Bee never demands anything from Andrew, just tries to draw him out of himself, Bee is very demanding when it’s Aaron and him. She’s giving them a common enemy, an external target for years of impotent frustration, which is both amusingly transparent and frustratingly effective.

“I want you each to choose one word to describe your partners, and then I want you to talk about them. Aaron?”

Her transparent ploy only works because Aaron and he both want this to work. Mortifying.

Hey! There's an ask about Allison and Neil going shopping and her nicknaming him Baby. I'm pretty sure it's Trust Fall (And Welcoming Arms) by SpangleBangle. Hope this was helpful :)

anonymous said: Neil and Allison do that in Trust Fall (And Welcoming Arms)

thanks!-ari

Trust Fall (And Welcoming Arms) by SpangleBangle (E | 84,557 | 13/13)

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.

Do you guys know any fics where Andrew is a kid and gets adopted by either Betsy or Wymack? Thank you!!💕💕

anonymous asked: any fics where bee is andrew’s mom or foster mom?

here’s what i found -félix

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.

Through Rose Coloured Glasses by puddlejumper99 (G | Incomplete | 1/?)

Hi! I’m looking for this fic where Neil gets home and Andrew’s basically catatonic? Like Neil can’t get any reaction from him and panics and calls Bee for help and it turns out someone (Moriyama?) called Andrew and told him they were going to kill Neil / Neil was dead. And Andrew couldn’t get a hold of Neil and saw on TV that a car had been blown up outside of the Exy stadium Neil was supposed to be in? I think the fic started with a cut-off voicemail?

it’s this one-Maz

Hey, do you know any good fic where Neil or Andrew have DID?

i found this one! -félix

tenuous by undertow (cendal) (M | 7,341 | 1/1)

Neil Josten is trying to learn to be a normal person. He has an apartment and a cat. He goes to therapy every Wednesday. He has friends and attends their study group regularly. He eats lunch with his best friend’s brother.

The hardest part is letting people in, but he thinks that one day he’ll get there.

Hey y'all! I read this fic awhile ago (maybe it was for a different fandom but I'm pretty sure it was AFTG) about Andrew and the color blue. If I remember correctly he had a talk with Bee about it? There wasn't any exy in it either. Sorry this is so vague but I'd love to read it again!

i believe this is the one-Maz

Paper Skies by exybee (T | 4,654 | 1/1)

Andrew’s a quiet librarian who treats his library much like how he treats his person. He spends his time searching for the color blue in hopes of finding something real, but when he meets Neil Josten, he finds that maybe blue isn’t the only thing out there.

Or, Neil’s a kaleidoscope of colors, and Andrew gets a lesson in self-care.

Hello! I'm looking for fics where Jeremy/Andrew/Neil/other help Kevin with his panic attacks and/or recovery. Can you recommend any? thank you in advance

allow me to direct you to some previous asks (i, ii) + one new fic-Maz

Fitting In by RosebudBasilton (T | 4,558 | 1/1)

Kevin goes to Bee about not 'fitting in' so Bee gives him a 1000 piece puzzle because the author doesn't know how good therapy works, pls just believe that the story is kinda solid.

Hi, are there any fics where andrew still has to take his meds while with neil, like canon divergence or something happens it the like. Thank you so much, i really appreciate what you're doing 💌

Hi!! This is the only one i can think of!-Cassy

if you’re lost you can look (and you will find me) by paleromantic (T | Incomplete | 9/?)

Neil Josten jerked awake, his cigarette falling from his fingers as he did. The frigid air bit at his arms, his neck, his face, but he didn’t notice, too busy looking around.

“What the fuck.”

or

Neil and Andrew wake up back in Millport, and get the chance to start over.

I’d like to recommend Across the Water by nocturnalboys :)

Sure!-Beth

Across the Water by transandrewminyard (nocturnalboys) (T | 12,905 | 1/1)

Perhaps several years too late, or maybe right on time, Neil Josten runs away from home and tries to dream a new life for himself. How poetic that his first night out on his own would deliver him to a stranger who seems to understand everything he's been through, and then some?
