Aaron Minyard as a dad. Aaron Minyard as a husband. Aaron Minyard as a doctor.
Aaron Minyard learning new hairstyles for his twin girls. Aaron Minyard leaving sticky notes around the house with romantic quotes for Katelyn to find. Aaron Minyard counting sheep with a child to make anesthesia a little less scary.
Aaron Minyard as a brother.
Aaron Minyard calling his brother every fourth of the month. Aaron Minyard watching every single one of his games. Aaron Minyard making phone calls to make sure his brother has the best doctors. Aaron Minyard asking Andrew to be the girls' godfather because "who better than you could keep them safe?".
Aaron Minyard as his own person, finally being able to show how much he cares, finally being able to release all of the love he has been keeping inside.
Aaron Minyard, who deserves to be happy.
aftg au where neil/nathaniel died in baltimore and andrew knows he's dead, he didnt stop fighting until he had autopsy reports and a closed casket in front of him. andrew knows he died that night but a week later, a week spent rotting and shoving everyone away, he sees neil. blue eyes clear as water, his hair still glows in the sun, when andrew reaches out he knows none of this is real. neil josten is dead, matt has an empty dorm and someone is already adding nathaniel wesninski to a true crime podcast. he knows none of this is real but it's easier to accept a hallucination than it is to accept that he failed, that another person has been snatched away from him. so andrew goes to practice and sometimes he misses balls because neil is on the court aiming left but aaron shot right. he goes to edens and can feel neil's weight behind him as he carries the drink tray back to their table. he watches nicky play games on the xbox and he hears all of neil's commentary. when he's alone, he talks to neil. andrew had always been great at being silent but never with neil. and he knows none of this is real but it's easier to confide in neil now that he's so intimately familiar with his absence. they trade truths and secrets and neil tells him about oklahoma and andrew knows they never talked about oklahoma and he's just remembering a conversation he heard on disney channel when he was eleven. he lights two cigarettes and sees neil smoke it but doesn't dwell on how quickly the flame dies out. he only mentions it once, to bee. when he says "i keep seeing neil" and bee says she understands, people leave traces of themselves all around us, he never brings it up again. it's not like she's wrong on that front either. neil's locker still has an unwashed jersey inside, the phone charger he never used is still shoved somewhere underneath the passenger seat of the maserati, all the clothes andrew bought him are still in a drawer. matt doesn't spend a lot of time in his room anymore. when andrew says "i hate you" and he truly means it, neil says "i know" and his cheeks dimple. andrew knows this isn't normal, nothing about this is okay, his mental stability is a far cry from being good but he thinks maybe having neil beside him, haunting him like this, is better than a reality where andrew is alone. so they follow each other around like ducklings and wymack looks at him like he's a ticking time bomb because in no world does neil josten die and andrew simply moves on. andrew's nightmares have shifted from being seven and begging to watching neil fight for life on a grimy basement floor but it's okay because when he wakes up he gets to hold neils hand and it's a little cold but the divots between his knuckles feel the same as before so he can blame it on the weather. andrew watches neil's banner go up next to seth's on the court and andrew almost wants to laugh because seth is dead but neil is right here, neil is talking about being court, but no that's not right either. neil is dead, andrew knows this. but then how could neil be dead when he's still buying andrew ice cream and pushing all his buttons? they sit a little too close to the edge of the roof nowadays and neil tells him that they could fall but they might not die because it's only four stories so really it's no guarantee. neil tells andrew he has to be careful because what about aaron, what about kevin, his deals and his promises. he keeps his promises, it's what he's good at. he's pretty sure kevin knows something is wrong but is trying to pretend like it's not. they're the same in that regard, really. andrew knows neil is dead, abby's files label him as deceased, but he thinks he likes being haunted. if it means neil is still there, still planning a future and running his mouth, andrew thinks he could convince himself baltimore never happened. maybe neil was never something tangible to begin with.

So in sports, it's possible for particularly skilled players to pull off unprecedented moves such that the entire sport's rulebook has to be updated to accommodate.
A player pulls some ridiculous move and everyone is in a flurry of "is this allowed?? Does this count?? Should we make this an illegal move??? Should it be a legal move??? What do we do about this, hurry before other players try to copy him!"
I'm aware of it happening once for basketball (though I don't recall the specific game changing event).
Anyway, Andrew Joseph Minyard is the first goalie to score a point for his team. Someone tries to score on him and he shoots that shit all the way into the other goalies zone and that shit lights up red. The game practically stops moving, the crowd is quiet for all of two heart beats before everyone fucking loses their shit. The stadium is shaking so hard might as well register as a small earthquake. Rulebook gets consulted expeditiously. Due to it not being referenced at all as a possibility, it's not technically an illegal move. Andrew's point stands.
They make that shit illegal thereafter, though. Making Andrew not only the first goalie to score a point across the field, but the last.
It puts him in the hall of fame.
It also gets him laid.
"Grayson should have just walked away from Riko's tainted legacy and started over. He strung the noose himself when he came all the way here to put his hands on you, and I am not afraid to kick the stool out from under him"
NEIL FUCKING JOSTEN THE FUCKING MAN THAT YOU ARE
andrew minyard
finally did my andrew design !! he’s so pretty i cried
…Andrew and Neil moved like they were caught in each other’s gravity, in each other’s space more than they were out of it, cigarette smoke and matching armbands and lingering looks when one fell out of orbit for too long…
“They’d been so discreet for so long, and Kevin had undone it all in a heartbeat.”
fun facts -- USC: . Had to dig up 2007 course catalogues to figure out where & when Jean's classes would be so I could map him out a proper schedule. Annoyed that Fertitta didn't exist back then because it's a gorgeous building. Also apparently the wheel throwing classes were very different then (one nighttime class vs daytime classes twice a week). Voted in favor of inaccuracy because it's more fun & afternoon practices would make it impossible to attend.
-- Campus sizes: . USC's main campus is 226 acres (.9 square km) . EAU's campus is 456 acres (1.8 km2) . PSU (based off of Clemson ofc) is 1400 acres (5.6km2). Granted that does include a botanical garden that is larger than USC's main campus lol
-- Numbers game . Ye, Renee & Jeremy for the 11/9 date . But also if you write Jean's birthday as 11/9 then he and Nathaniel are the same numerical sequence 1/19 . Bonus: Nov 9 end of the French revolution . TSC had 17 chapters, 12 Jean 5 Jeremy. Ended 108700 words give or take . TSC2 is 22 chapters, 12 Jean 10 Jeremy, and its current word count is about 139000. ((For reference, TKM was ~138600)) This is AFTER I tore out an entire subplot and set it aside for #3 I am going insane
ngl m'lovies, I am.. not feeling optimistic about December anymore. I've spent the last two-three weeks making backwards progress as RL continues to spiral, and I am messing so incessantly with it I have yet to hand it off to ANY of its readers
Andrew and Neil are two freakishly observant people. And yet they lose themselves in each other.
Andrew and Neil don’t believe in the concept of love. And yet they devote the rest of their lives to one another.
Andrew and Neil are not generally giving people. And yet they give unfiltered pieces of themselves to each other.
Andrew and Neil are not trusting people. And yet trust is woven so deep into the fabric of their relationship it’s almost indistinct.
Andrew and Neil are not well-adjusted people. And yet they fought for and built the kind of well-adjusted relationship many people can only wish to have.
Andrew and Neil shouldn’t work in a romantic relationship, let alone with each other. And yet they go together like lightning and thunder goes together—just a fact of the universe.
thinking about numbers and symbolism in aftg. andrew (03) and aaron (05) being twin primes. 5 + 3 being 8 which is nicky's number. andrew being 03 which would've been neil's number if he was perfect court. jean being 29 in the trojans because renee was 09 and kevin was 02. and 2 + 9 adding up to 11 which is jeremy's number.
bee tapping the table so andrew would stop hurting himself 😭 bee not being able to contain her joy when she finds out about andrew and neil 😭 bee getting all the milk and chocolate cuz she knows that andrew has a sweet tooth 😭 bee knowing andrew so well and caring so much about him she doesn't fear him, to the point he said they spent so much time together she became reckless with her questions 😭 bee hoping wymack would take care of her "most precious charge" 😭 bee being so, so proud of andrew for what he overcame 😭 bee not sending wymack away bc she doesn't want to make andrew feel unsafe 😭 bee being such a gentle being every one knows how much andrew appreciates her even if they don't understand it😭 bee watching a musical with andrew and wymack to distract andrew from what happened 😭 bee messaging andrew after the session™ saying she was happy for him 😭 bee and andrew texting each other regularly 😭 just mama bee
2019 -> 2022 -> 2024
another redraw!
could never make an aftg show because the cast i have in my head is so talented i fear they would never be real people
like specifically there's the scene in trk where neil says "my first memories are of people dying. i'm not afraid of you" and we cut to this closeup shot of andrew and he's smiling still but it's his eyes, in his eyes there are a thousand tiny microshifts that betray him, for a fraction of a moment he is no longer this stoic unreadable monster but for a second he realises all at once that for the first time in however long he is not feared and the boy opposite him is a web woven of lies and scars and he wants to pick every piece of him apart to find out what he's made of and these thoughts both terrify and intrigue him but he can say nothing out loud and his head is too hazy to process this pipe dream anyway.
so he pushes it back down. and that dead eyed stare returns. and he says "that's why you're so interesting." and he turns away. and the next time we see andrew like that is when neil says "i want to see you lose control."
