hey, i'm looking for a fic that's an au where neil and andrew meet eachother as neighbors. i don't remember much, but i know at one point andrew thought allison was neil's girlfriend, neil goes on walks to find his cat, most chapters end with andrews search history because he's constantly googling things, and i think neil gets sick and andrew takes care of him at one point. i've been trying to find it everywhere, lmk if you can get to it! <3

Anonymous asked: I can't find a fic where Neil and Andrew live in apartments across from each other. Andrew is pining for Neil but thinks that Neil is taken because he saw Allison in her underwear hanging out with Neil. There was also something about them making each other food and plants. Andrew has a cat and Renee visits.

i believe it’s this! -maz

under the kitchen lights (you still look like dynamite) by ephemeralsky (T | 26,365 | 1/1)

“Besides, you’re not a stranger,” Neil says.

“You did not know my name until a minute ago,” Andrew points out.

“I’ve been petting your cat everyday for the past month, though.”

“That does not make us friends.”

“I didn’t say we were.” Neil tilts his head, the hint of a smirk on his lips. “We’re neighbors.”

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.

theres this fic that i’m desperately trying to find but i’m having no luck. katelyn breaks up aaron because “he can’t love her the right way” and then aaron goes for a walk in the middle of the night and stops answering his phone and andrew has to go pick him up. I think at one point katelyn calls nicky to make sure aaron made it back to fox tower after their breakup. it might have been a kevaaron fic? that’s pretty much all i remember and it’s bugging me so much right now, if you can find it you’d be a total lifesaver.

is it this? -maz

The Reason by love_in_the_city (T | 11,944 | 1/1)

Aaron thought he would get his happy ever after with Katelyn, but after she refused his proposal, Aaron ends up with the same feelings of worthlessness when his mother was alive. He relapses. Someone unexpected becomes the reason he holds on.

Hey idk if this is too specific but could you help me find a fic where they're all musician and Andrew and Neil would do duets together at concerts. I remember they played desperado once I can't find it.

yes -maz

And We'll Be Running by allyasavedtheday (M | 62,270 | 3/3)

It had been six months ago when Kevin called him, sounding drunk off his ass and on the verge of a breakdown, begging Neil for help. Andrew Minyard, guitarist for The Monsters, had been assaulted by his old foster brother and it finally convinced the courts to take him off the mood altering medication he’d been taking since almost two years prior after an incident where he’d defended his cousin from a bunch of homophobic assholes outside a club.

At the time, he’d had nothing else going for him so he said yes. It was just meant to be something to do for a few months. Now, well, he doesn’t really want to leave.

here you go -halley

I'm with Cupid by gluupor(T | 8,697 | 1/1)

Neil is a reluctant Cupid who can't return home until he's finished his assignment. Unfortunately, the human he's been tasked with finding a match for is resisting all his matchmaking efforts. But Neil's not a quitter. He's going to make sure that Andrew Minyard falls in love whether he wants to or not.

hi i am looking for a fic where stuart hires nicky to be neil’s friend

i believe you’re looking for this one -maz

Die Young by moonix (T | 41,640 | 7/7)

Ever since the violent death of his mother Neil has withdrawn completely from the outside world. He lives with his Uncle Stuart and barely ever leaves the house. In order to help him overcome his anxiety, Stuart hires his favourite waiter, Nicky, to befriend him. With Nicky come the rest of the Foxes, and Neil finds himself being reluctantly adopted into a much bigger family, reconnecting with an old friend, and developing a crush...

I was looking for this fic where neil goes to a masquerade party and meets andrew , I think I it also had to do with flower language. If you could help me find it ,i would really appreciate it!!!

i believe it’s this one! -maz

A song of truths and flowers by ScriptaManent (G | 15,640 | 6/6)

From the moment when Neil had decided he would go to the yearly masquerade ball hosted by the Moriyamas, he had known it would be a bad idea. However, against all odds, someone caught his interest, a lone Fox with a unique view on the world. As time passed, the two men came up with a new game: each night, they would meet at the ball and exchange one truth - their identities weren’t part of the deal.

Hi I would just like to rec a fic about sheep farmer Andrew and Witness Protection Neil! I can’t remember the name, but I found it by searching up pining Andrew! :)

thanks pal, everyone go read this, ewe won’t regret it ;) -Remy

Lately I been, I been losing sleep by jojen_hewitt, Lover_of_Fairy_Tails (G | 22,950 | 1/1)

Neil Josten has been relocated to a small town after a life on the run and months spent testifying against his father's gang. Late one night he shows up at strangers door seeking help, and Andrew Minyard really can't turn away the man with the striking blue eyes no matter how ridiculously late it is. He will find a way to make him repay him though.

-

“Hello Neil, it’s nice to see you again.” Renee's eyes bounced to Andrew, and he didn’t like the mischievous twinkle in them that said she was reading something into this. “I hope Andrew isn’t giving you too much trouble.” Neil opened his mouth to answer her, but Andrew cut him off, “I was just telling him how he owed me.” “Owed you?” Andrew nodded. “For what?” “Your late-night house call.” “You want me to pay you for that?” “I don’t want your money.” “But you just said-” Before he could finish Andrew interrupted him by asking, “What do you know about sheep?”

thanks for the rec -félix

Neil Josten's Vendetta by Luci_Cunt (T | 63,841 | 20/20)

Neil needs a roommate, he gets Andrew. Which is fine, until Andrew is the first person to connect all of Neil’s victims and actually start figuring out who is killing all of the Butcher of Baltimore’s people. Then Neil starts having some issues. It only gets worse when Andrew accidentally discovers a whole new Japanese-flavored layer to Neil's personal vendetta.

(also AO3 won't let me add these tags but: r*ko moryams, the m*riyamas get merked also.)

Hey, I’m looking for this one fic where Neil can walk into peoples dreams while he’s asleep and he keeps going into Andrews dreams like before they meet irl and Andrew thinks he’s a part of his brain ???

Is it this one?-Beth

you say i’m a dreamer, but i’m not the only one. by Idnis (M | 29/29 | 58,350)

Neil Josten wouldn’t say his life was very magical.His dreams on the other hand.

They always seem too real.

And then there’s the fact that he finds himself returning to one person’s dreams.

Hi!!! 🤗 so the other day I was reading this fic which I would love to reread now because it was so sweet and wholesome. Basically Neil and my sweet boy Andrew were neighbours and Andrew had a cat called Bastard. Neil was walking with a stick and a lot more open and not as dense as in the books. It's basically an extremely sweet slowburn and I'd love to find it again! Thanks and have a nice day 💛

i love this fic-Halley

First of all, you guys are amazing 🖤! I’m looking for a fic where Andrew and Neil are teens. Andrew is living with Nicky and Neil lives with his uncle. In the fic I remember the two of them getting really close when Andrew kisses Neil and he (Andrew) freaks out because he didn’t ask first. Andrew runs off and Neil finds out that he had cut himself pretty badly and is now in the hospital. It was a pretty good fic and it’s been on my mind for weeks now. Help

I'm not positive, but I believe this is it! - Sam

Ain’t It Fun by Jemejem (T | 30,672 | 10/10)

Neil can’t sleep. Andrew can’t feel. High school is going well for the both of them.

There’s a fic where there’s a town by the woods and all residents know not to go into the woods. Neil comes out of the woods naturally. Andrew has a garden everyone’s a witch of some sort. Neil gets kinda adopted by Aaron and they’re best friends and there’s plenty of sandwiches. The world building was spectacular but I can’t find it.

Is it this?-Beth

of gods and monsters by aflyingcoffeebean (T | 30,029 | 12/12)

His mother says these woods are cursed, bathed in the blood of a god long dead. From a time even before his family claimed them as their own. Abram sometimes wonders if it was his ancestors that killed the god, if they won the land through slaughter. That is what they’re known for, bloodshed. Abram meets a boy in the woods one night and his life is changed forever.

hey i would like to recommend second chances by jamiethefox

Of course! -Beth

Second Chances by jamiethefox (M | Incomplete | 1/?)

Neil Josten and Andrew Minyard, professional exy players on opposing teams. Neil can’t stand Andrew’s lack of passion for the sport, Andrew can’t stand how Neil lives and breathes it. Everyone knows they can’t stand each, what no one knows is they used to mean everything to each other. But now they’re on the US team together and must find a way to make peace with the past and play together. Is there a way they could mean everything to each other again?

hi ! I’m looking for this fic where Wymack owns a bar that most of the foxes work and they hire Neil who’s a pick pocket or something like that and is stealing from the bars customers ? Thanks !

i couldn’t find exactly what you’re looking for but there’s this one where pickpocketer!neil gets hired but not by a bar -félix

You Made a Monster Out of Me by basicallymonsters (M | Incomplete | 10/?)

He realizes that everyone feels exactly the same way he does, filthy and buzzed and understood and angry. His eyes find Andrew again, sober but animated like the drums are a live wire and he’s electric.

He thinks, if he could be part of this, if he could stand in the middle of the stage in a garden full of monsters, and sing the audience’s veins open, he would never need another drink, or another moment on court.

Prompt: Andreil in a rock band setting – tattoos, harsh lighting, calloused fingers, Andrew’s sweaty arms, Neil’s striking blue eyes, someone’s excellent voice, an uncomfortable undercurrent of drug abuse.
