Hi! I just found this page and was wondering if there are fics from Andrew's pov when he finds out what happened to Neil and what the "thank you, you were amazing" really meant.

i found some!

-rocky

What died didn't stay dead. by freshtaylorswiftduck (T | 11,065 | 3/3)

Neil Josten is dead. Neil Josten was never even a real person. Thank you. You were amazing. And now Andrew Minyard was left with a pair of keys and nothing else.

choke by reaching_my_summit (T | 1,413 | 1/1)

"thank you. you were amazing." then he was gone. --- or, the riot from andrew's point of view.

You Were Amazing by shewhoisntnamed44 (G | 755 | 1/1)

"Thank you. You were amazing." These words rang in Andrew's head. They were like a bell, constantly reminding him of his own stupidity. His inability to guess the implication of these five words. How had he not seen it? Neil hadn't looked that sad in months.

you were amazing. by rosesau (Not Rated | 5,271 | 1/1)

“Thank you. You were amazing.” Why was there such finality in those words? Like he was thanking Andrew for more than the game? Andrew knows every breath Neil took was at least half a lie, concealed hints of the truth laced with every other word. So why did this sound like the most honest thing he’d ever said?

Amazing by reneewvlkers (M | 4,892 | 1/1)

Andrew can be patient. His knuckles are red, and with that familiar pain comes a wave of calm. He has no control over this situation and that’s nothing new. Neil Josten is a force of nature; utterly unpredictable and infuriating. But he knows one thing. Neil would not leave if he had a choice. He would come back to Exy, to the Foxes, to this godforsaken bus if he had to limp the whole way. And Andrew will be right here when he does.

Andrew Finds Out by louisa_pennyfeather21 (T | 3,232 | 1/1)

In an uncomfortable turn of events, Kevin drunkenly tells everyone that he knows Nicky kissed Neil at Eden's Twilight without Neil's consent. *** This is a character analysis of one scenario of how Andrew might react to finding out about Nicky kissing Neil.

the past still bites us by DepressedTerrestrial (Not Rated | 5,051 | 1/1)

On a usual Fox game night involving drinking, a very drunk Nicky hits on Neil and reveals what happened at Eden's Twilight the first time Neil was there. None of the Foxes are pleased, Andrew especially.

/Rape / Non-Con

Delayed Reaction by sunrise_and_death (T | 3,035 | 1/1) but affection for Nicky that he’d almost forgotten there was time when he’d been viscerally and intensely afraid of him. In which the events of Neil's first visit to Eden's Twilight are finally addressed a year later.

Delayed Reaction (The Fear of Falling remix) by fuzzballsheltiepants (T | 3,068 | 1/1)

Neil has a flashback to his first visit to Eden's Twilight, and the truth comes spilling out. Nicky finally deals with the aftermath and his role in it all, and reconnects to his faith in the process.

Neil getting a haircut please and thank u 🙏🙏

yees

-rocky

It kissed your scalp and caressed your brain by DawnDragon32 (G | 2,116 | 1/1)

“Your roots are growing in.” Neil’s eyebrows furrowed, and he twitched just slightly in Andrew’s hold. “This is my natural hair color.” Andrew blinked, slower than normal, and Neil knew his comment made Andrew slightly exasperated. (title from Buzzcut Season - Lorde)

Neil’s New Haircut by awoogah123 (Not Rated | 617 | 1/1)

Allison takes Neil to get his haircut, Andrew loves it

Don't Touch My Hair! by Raven1704 (G | 635 | 1/1)

Neil needs a haircut and the only person to cut it right has graduated, so he decides to go to a barbershop. Of course, nothing good can come of this. The first time neil goes to a barbershop and it doesn't end well.

the keys to start again by cave_canem (T | 4,134 | 1/1)

Grouping all of the Foxes together in a beach house for a week might not be the brightest idea they've ever come up with, but Neil is going to have to deal with it. His distractions include: exy (banned), a haircut (Allison's idea), fast cars (Neil was the one who bought it anyways), and Andrew (warm and grumpy). Great.

Hiya I read a much ado about nothing au a couple of years ago and I can’t find it now? I thinks it’s by one of the bigger fic writers but I couldn’t tell you who for sure

thanks x

Much Ado by puddlejumper99 (T | 23186 | 5/5)

Healthy communication is out and scheming to get your friends to hook up is IN! Loosely following the plot of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, avowed bachelor Neil is determined never to marry, and also determined to insult Andrew into an early grave. Meanwhile, Riko is plotting to ruin Matt and Dan's wedding. Wymack has a headache.

ok it's an andreil notting hill au where I think Neil is famous and Andrew is running a bookshop

Surreal But Nice by fuzzballsheltiepants, gluupor, and moonix (T | 35145 | 11/11)

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.

And andriel fic where the foxes or maybe just Andrew (I don’t remember) work at a radio station and Neil joins

fragile by likearecord (T | 24821 | 5/5)

A new guy starts working at the radio station. He's fragile. Better keep Andrew away from him.

Red Rabbits by bloodydamnit, Jeni182, SeaBear13, windeavesdrops (M | 292251 | 25/25)

Andrew Minyard is a successful journalist, writing hit pieces to take down and uncover decay in big institutions. When he starts looking into the mysterious disappearance of Mary and Nathaniel Wesninski, that all disappears. Suddenly, he finds himself blacklisted in his line of work. Unable to move forward with the piece, he finds a platform with The Foxhole Network, the communications department at his Alama Mater. With the help of the TFN team, he puts together a podcast and goes on the hunt for Mary and Nathaniel, following leads sent by their listeners and connecting dots that hadn't bothered to be connected before. - Neil Josten has stayed in the same place for far too long. He knows this, but he's grown comfortable. That is until he hears a deep voice through a set of speakers - a podcast host asking the question he didn't want to be answered most: What happened to Mary and Nathaniel? Neil does the only thing he knows how. He runs. But he runs into more problems than solutions.

Hello. I appreciate your hard work. I am looking for a nine chapter persephone and hades au fic where Neil and his mother pretended not to be gods for a year and Andrew was the god of death. You have to kill a previous god to become the next one or inherit the title when the person retires. I can't find it anywhere. The fact that I am unable to remember the title is not helpful. Please help :D

i think it might be this? -maz

honey don't feed me (i will come back) by Talls (T | 31,725 | 11/11)

There’s a new god in the pantheon; Andrew remembers hearing about the scandal a while back, the newest Demeter having a child with the current Zeus and then going on the run, child in tow. They call him Persephone, the god of springtime and new life, the antithesis of Andrew's realm. It would be ludicrous of Persephone to ever interact with Andrew at all.

If only someone told Persephone that.

--

“Hades, right?” Persephone asks.

“Andrew,” Andrew responds, and Persephone hums.

“Nice to meet you, Andrew. I’m Neil,” Neil responds. Andrew cuts a look sideways to see Neil watching him, something assessing in his gaze. Andrew nods in response. “I have to say, you’re not nearly as scary as everyone says you are,” Neil continues.

“You barely know me. Give it time,” Andrew says, because the rumors don’t exaggerate. People fear him for good reason.

“I’d like to, I think,” Neil says. Andrew quirks an eyebrow at him. “Know you,” Neil clarifies. Before Andrew can think of a response, Neil’s head turns. “I have to go. Zeus called for me, and he’ll notice if I’m missing. Thanks for the cigarette.”

Hey! I’m looking for a fic where wymack essentially decides to give the foxes a space where they can sort of just be kids and catch up on the things they missed in their childhoods like coloring, drawing, baking, Disney movies, etc. the fic takes you through him offering this to each of the foxes and all the complications, hesitations, or breakdowns that come with that (especially with Andrew and aaron.) I loved it so much the first time I read it and have been searching but can’t find it again yet. I took some screenshots from when I first read it, so here they are in case they may be helpful:

it's this one -maz

the unloved kids by alrightdarlin (whoopsok) (Not Rated | 34,922 | 22/22)

“I intend to treat them the same. I need strong athletes, not toddlers,” Wymack starts, but sits back with a sigh, running a hand over his face. “But hypothetically, if I had to look after a bunch of toddlers on the weekends…”

Betsy’s eyes crinkle with her smile. “Are you asking advice?”

“They’re screwed up enough,” Wymack says, “I’m not trying to make it worse.”

(David Wymack takes his little nightmares and does his best to corral them and love them within an inch of their lives. He can’t change what happened to them, but he can be there for them now.)

Any ace/aro kevin fics? Doens have to be the main center, but like him being like "well of course it's easier for Neil to remain straight, everyone's just going though the motions " and then neil being like "bruh." Or something?

not really sure about that specific scenario but here are some ace kevin fics! -maz

this power is yours (take it) by cake_lovin_ace (G | 16,134 | 5/5)

after realising he was ace neil had had a very good time, to say in the least. he’d done more research on asexuality and what it entailed; had joined online community forums and spaces; had consumed as much media as he could lay his hands on that contained ace representation; had brought a black ring, laughed at all the memes, bought a flag.

and through it all andrew had been his partner in every sense of the word. he had celebrated every high and held neil through every low, every moment of sudden doubt where he wondered if he really was ace and not just broken like the people online claimed he was; like the way he had felt all his life. he always had neil’s back when he jumped headfirsts into forums with bigots; sometimes logging in and leaving his own comments, other times listening quietly to neil rant, sometimes for hours.

and now, it was time to tell the foxes.

[or, neil comes out to the foxes as ace. confessions, tears and learning ensue.]

Tunnel Vision by dewydrewy (G | 34,289 | 12/12)

Kevin Day's tunnel vision focused on; Exy, History, the Moriyamas, and the cute barista at his favourite coffee shop.

The Golden Three by justadreamfox (T | 3,301 | 1/1)

A bit of happily ever after Kandreil for you - High School edition.

Feat. Vixen Neil, Ace Kevin, Soft Andrew, and a very expensive pair of shoes.

Hello team! Thank you for everything you do I have found so many wonderful fics due to your talents!

With the shadow and bones release I was reminded of a fic I read that was an aftg x six of crows crossover and I just cant seem to track it down so I am hoping you can help pretty please?

It's the aftg characters set in the six of crows plot I believe Andrew is Kaz and Neil is Inej but my memory could be faulty on that one. Kevin is a hostage the team have to break out of his imprisonment in an impossible location and the whole fic is just phenomenal.

I appreciate any help you can offer and thanks again for everything you do!!!

i would assume you’re thinking of this one -maz

No Mourners, No Funerals by gluupor (M | 145,718 | 54/54)

In Ketterdam’s pleasure district you can find anyone. A wayward son trying to escape his past. A pampered noblewoman who chose a different life. A recovering addict who can’t turn down a bet. A stranded pirate in need of a boat. A deserter who is looking for a place to belong. A Grisha assassin who wants to be a better person. A convict looking to regain her life. A runaway who has become a killer. A survivor who has become something worse.

These fractured isolationists must cooperate and trust each other to achieve their goals. An impossible heist with a big payout. A revenge scheme years in the making. A high stakes con that could start a war if it goes wrong. They probably deserve better, but if they got what they deserved then they wouldn’t be Foxes.

A Six of Crows AU where the Foxes are a gang, Neil’s good at disappearing, and Andrew Minyard is the Bastard of the Barrel.

hello! i'm trying to find a fic besed on the movie "twister" (1996). andrew and neil and the foxes were in college together but right after graduating andrew kind of disappeared. but the foxes are storm chasers and riko tries to steal their work (they invented some kind of storm detector). also, andrew has a boyfriend in this one (i believe it's kevin but maybe i'm wrong) and he brings him along but at some point kevin (?) leaves. if you need more details, please let me know! and thank you 💖

found it! -maz

Shine On by attfna (T | 20,178 | 7/7)

Andrew Minyard, former storm chaser turned research meteorologist, treks to the middle of nowhere to meet up with his former work partner who he’s secretly had feelings for since they met. He’s there to sign a patent but can’t help getting caught up, literally, in his old work. Tornado chasing shenanigans ensue, feelings are had, and possibly a ridiculous confession happens in the pouring rain. There are cows. Also known as the blatant Twister AU no one asked for or wanted. Seriously, this follows the 1996 film really closely so if you wanted to watch it and haven't this fic is one big spoiler. But also why haven't you watched it, it's amazing.

There’s this one fic where Neil and Andrew r neighbors and Neil’s cat keeps coming into Andrews balcony or smth and it shows Andrews search history in the fic. Also there was one scene where where Neil had friends over and Andrew thought Allison and him were dating, thank you !!

i think? -maz

we might be hollow (but we're brave) by stttmsbwa (M | 40,681 | 4/4)

Andrew is looking to live his life in peaceful nothingness, but his new neighbor's cat won't stop sneaking onto his balcony. As much as he tries to not make it into something, Andrew finds himself drawn to the mysterious and tempting man next door.

Neil is just trying to find a reason to not leave Palmetto after everyone else has moved on. But he never thought he would want to run toward something in favor of running away.

(In a slightly different world, two people find themselves meeting in a softer setting and in just as much need of each other. A story about dealing with pasts, sharing secrets and a cat who is an asshole yet manages to charm everyone around it.)

I was wondering if you could help me find this fic that is on ao3? Andrew had just signed himself out after getting taken off of his meds and found Nicky, Kevin and Aaron waiting for him. He dumped his bag in the dumpster like he did in the books but when they got in the car he asked where Neil was and im pretty sure it was Aaron who asked "who's Neil?" I can't remember the exact wording of the tags but one of them was something like "No Proust" and another said it ended happy or something

yeah thats this one -maz

What's normal now? by alex_wh0 (T | 4,447 | 1/1)

What if Andrew came back from Easthaven only to find out that Neil doesn’t exist? A barely there soulmate trope, dreams, hallucinations, hot chocolate, a lot of angst and a happy ending. This is yet another take where two boys find each other.

yeah fairly sure i’ve found it -maz

i'll keep you by bazookajo94 (M | 4,415 | 1/1)

Aaron asked, “What’s your deal? What’s going on?”

Andrew had no choice. He stood up, walked to the bowl of freshly cut melon surrounded by pools of watermelon juice and an assortment of black seeds, and plucked a piece of the fruit. It was dark red and glistening and sweet on his tongue.

It tasted like ash. Like a dirty little secret. Like a mistake.

hiii, i just remembered a fic where i think neil was a figure skater and andrew a hockey player and they skate to greek tragedy but i can’t find it :((( pls help

here you go -maz

Blue Eyes, Pipe Dreams by Shklance_Beef_Sandwich ( M | 18,250 | 2/2)

Andrew doesn’t do crushes, never has, never will. What he does is the odd hookup when he’s feeling pent-up, preferably in a nightclub bathroom with as much anonymity as he can get.

So why is he so hung up on those blue eyes and that auburn hair he’s only been able to see from a distance? Why is he feeling almost desperate to be able to talk to this figure skating mystery man?
