Regulus asks James to help him with his homework because he really can't do some things and James always helps him figure it out and sometimes they spend hours in the secret room doing their homework even though they agreed to meet to kiss
Regulus: *in James' lap, pauses kissing him* Say, you're good at transfiguration right?
James: *moving immediately to kiss his neck instead* Mm-hm.
Regulus: So you know Psyche's Principle, and how that works...
James: *not really concentrating* How does a table that used to be a pig think without a physical brain, yeah.
Regulus: *reaches to get a parchment out of his bag* Because I have an essay on conciousness retention in animate to inanimate transformations, and I'm worried memorising the textbook without properly understanding it won't get me full marks.
James: *pulls himself away and launches into full explanation*
i know some of nora's extra content are... so out of character... and... questionable... but there's this one part that never faiIs to make me feel things;
"And then Neil was— gone
And Andrew wanted to–wanted to burn the world, wanted to shove aside everyone standing in his way, wanted to tear the stadium down bench by bench and bolt by bolt, until he figured out where Neil was,"
I’m sorry but the fact that Andrew’s go-to is splaying his hand across Neil’s neck and no one thought anything of it?????? Multiple times with witnesses??????
Imagine one day Neil goes on a run but he forgets his phone because he’s a dumbass and he’s gone for an hour at least and when he gets back, Andrew is pacing the living room with Neil’s phone clutched in his hand. Once he catches sight of Neil he throws his phone at him, growling a “don’t forget it again” and stomps out of the room. He’s pretending he’s not affected that he wasn’t terrified but later when he and Neil are laying in bed cuddling, he’s holding Neil like that can stop him from ever leaving like he’s his lifeline and he’s just breathing him in, taking comfort in the fact that he’s still here. His idiot is still here.
Recently he was broken, but finds the strength to be cool in front of Andrew 😏
🐾
‘Andrew was watching him, still perched on the edge like he had a death wish. Neil wasn't sure why he did it, but he plucked Andrew's cigarette off the sidewalk and stuck it between his lips. He tipped his head back to meet Andrew's unwavering gaze and tapped two fingers to his temple in Andrew's mocking salute. Andrew turned away and disappeared from sight. It felt like a win, though Neil wasn't sure why’
ok I cannot get over the fact that andrew not only immediately agreed to neil’s request of going to nicky’s for thanksgiving but also INSISTING that neil come with them… andrew sweetie… we all know
List your top 5 fics ranked by kudos on AO3. are you surprised by what's most popular to your readers? then provide your ranking of your personal top 5 fics, and tag a few fellow writers!
Thank you for the tag @mostlymaudlin! Finally got time to do this.
Tagging @knickknacksandallthat because WE NEED TO KNOW! 😋😎
Stealing @mostlymaudlin's strategy because OBVIOUSLY you will be spammed with my favorites first and the ao3 top 5 will be below the line. Sorry, I don't make the rules. 😁
1. I Will Find You Here Inside The Dark - Andreil - After Baltimore, the FBI put Neil under witness protection and he never came back to the Foxes. Ten years later, Andrew and Neil meet again. //obviously my current favorite but.. damn. this is right from my sappy soul to yours.
2. The Shore We'd Come To Find - Kandreil - Neil and Kevin end up in Andrew’s house, hiding from the mafia. The three of them spend the summer together until Kevin and Neil's past catches up with them and they have to run again. Angst but HEA. Also love letters. //I wrote my favorite paragraph of ALL my fics into this one. this fic makes me so emo 👀
3. Like A Wildfire Burning Up Inside My Lungs - KevJean - 'And they were roommates' fic where Kevin asks Jean to teach him how to flirt. //KevJean is my favorite ship, are you really surprised this is here...
4. Addicted To Disaster - Andreil - RWRB-vibey secret NOT-relationship where Neil is the senator's kid and Andrew is begrudgingly IN WUV. //new baby in my top 5
5. Least Favorite Only Child - Aaron-centric/Kevaaron vibes - Andrew and Aaron fall out during therapy, Kevin messes up Aaron's head and everything feels like a giant landslide. Maybe Aaron just needs to do some healing on his own. //ok, I lied, THIS fic makes me so emo 👀
AO3 Top 5 under the cut!
1. Somebunny To Love - Andreil - Andrew was there when the Date Me, Neil Josten dare started. It goes like this: each week Neil must fake-date the first person to ask him out on Monday morning. If Neil can pull it off for 3 months, he wins. Everyone gets FIVE days only. No exceptions. Until Andrew asks.
2. The Photo Strip Predicament - Andreil - Neil Josten is the worst. As if it wasn't enough that all Aaron's friends love him and he stole the math competition victory right under his nose, but now he photoshopped Aaron's face in a picture of them kissing and no one believes Aaron that this isn't him in that photo.
3. Was Sorta Hopin' That You'd Stay - Andreil - Neil and Andrew have HATED each other since an incident in college. They really, really do. The Minyard-Josten rivalry is not a sham.
But now Andrew's transferring to Neil's team and all hell is about to break loose.
4. North Star - Andreil - ANGSTY Break-up/getting back together. Seriously, read the tags. //y'all are crazy to rate this one this high istg
5. Inked Petals - Andreil - Andrew spent 3 years in a shithole small town in Florida trying to get through the loss of the only person who made him feel something. Then Aaron convinces him to move to New York to start living his life again. It all goes well until Andrew makes a tinder account and matches with his dead boyfriend.
