Lost in a Haze by shadowdreams [Rated G, 34277 Words, Complete, 2026]
“Hello boys.” Thea sat down beside Kevin, setting her tray on the table. “What’s up?”
Kevin didn’t miss a beat. “Andrew has lost his prowess and is asking me for advice.”
“I didn’t,” Andrew said. “And I haven’t.”
Thea blinked. “Prowess as in… performance issues?”
“Yes,” Kevin said at the same time as Andrew’s decisive “No.”
Or: Andrew hooks up with a hot guy. It doesn’t go to plan.
Tempt You (evocatio) by capoismail [Rated T, 6308 Words, Complete, Locked]

Kevin's there too. Just...being Kevin.
Nachtschwärmer by sun_litsoul [Rated T, 6928 Words, Complete, 2025]
Neil had obliviously tumbled around the topic of Andrew's attraction towards him, for quite a while, and Andrew knew that it was a matter of time that someone would point to it so bluntly that Neil would be unable to overlook it. Honestly, Andrew was surprised it had taken so long. Andrew knew Neil would demand answers eventually and judging by the tone of Neil's voice, that moment had apparently arrived.
It was no secret, and besides, it wouldn’t lead to anything anyway. Andrew decided he might as well get it over with, so he lifted his gaze up to meet Neil's glare.

The first time that Andrew saw Neil Josten, he knew that he had fallen head over heels. He wasn’t beautiful in the way that you would expect one to be. But he was beautiful. The way that the sun seemed to highlight the auburn of his hair, and the crystal blue of his eyes…

Red by Ren4YourLives (TheRoadtoHell) [Rated M, 4280 Words, Incomplete, Updated July 2025]
When he turns around, Andrew makes and maintains eye contact with the pretty red-haired blue-eyed bastard who had the audacity to make Andrew do his job two fucking minutes before closing, like a goddamn psychopath.
Or
Andrew is a barista and Neil comes in two minutes before closing. Andrew is very pissed and very horny about it.

vamp Neil series by Kingfluffkinss [Rated M/E, Collection, 2 complete works, Updated 2025]
Part 1: Hungry, but I've already eaten [M, 8257 Words]
Malnourished, runaway vampire Neil gets more than he bargained for when his latest meal offers him a deal- a steady supply of blood in exchange for the guy's life. Neil can't afford to leave behind human witnesses, and Andrew's blood was repulsively sweet. Nothing good will come out of this. Despite everything, he finds himself agreeing.
Part 2: Starving, yet I'm finally eating [E, 5342 Words]
“I was promised a meal,” he said, the double meaning woven into his words. They echoed in their shared space.
The tips of Andrew’s ears were inventing a new hue of red. His lips parted slightly, but the blase expression remained. Neil had the uncontrollable urge to wipe it off his face.
“And I’m offering myself on the platter. The sacrifices we must make.” Andrew’s voice didn’t waver, but it was a near thing. Neil tilted his head just slightly, his hunting instincts thrashing against the cages of his rational mind, begging him to move and feed. The fangs elongated on their own accord.
“Far be it from me to leave you unsatisfied.”

Aka, Andrew wears a skirt and Neil comes to a few realizations, then does something about them.

The Art of Petty Revenge by foxinky [Rated G, 4607 Words, Incomplete, Updated Feb 2025]
Neil’s life was perfectly fine—until Aaron started dating Kevin and decided to move into their house. Kevin and Neil's house. Without asking Neil. Betrayed and slightly furious, Neil did what any sane person would do: he got himself a fake boyfriend to make Kevin suffer.
Aaron is disgusted by the idea of Andrew with Neil.
Kevin is disgusted by the idea of Neil with Andrew, his boyfriend’s twin.
The choice is perfect. And Andrew? Andrew is bored and completely in love with Neil. Living with him doesn’t sound so bad.

It’s the hoodie that Andrew notices first, bright white and loose with a fluffy hood pulled over auburn hair. The only spots of color being the pink pocket on the belly and the pink insides of the two floppy ears attached to the hood.
Next is the thighs, lean, honey brown and peppered with freckles. Andrew’s eyes catch on a thin white scar slicing through the soft skin of his left inner thigh. Andrew can’t see any pants. Is he not wearing pants?

What if Neil and Kevin were one year ahead of the Monsters at Palmetto and Neil had to protect Kevin for his first year?

Neil Josten hates his job. He doesn't like candy, or kids, or parties. But Candytown USA was the only job he's managed to maintain, and he has nothing better to do.
When his only regular, a man in strange, corndog themed attire, starts asking 'personal' questions, Neil has to contend with his worst enemy; feelings. Will he be able to solve the mystery of the corndog man's interest, before he's consumed by the ghosts of his past?

ink and thorn by l_mialamia_l [Rated T, 25018 Words, Complete, AFTG Fall Exchange 2024]
Neil Josten had known Andrew Minyard for approximately two minutes and thirty seven seconds, and he already knew he’d hate him for the rest of his life. Andrew, for his part, seemed to have hated Neil before they even met, so Neil felt he was justified. He gave a wistful goodbye to his resolution not to make any enemies in his new life. He’d lasted, what, five hours? Not bad, considering his track record.

Neil turns his attention back to Andrew, watching as he fixes a jammed printer by kicking the tray with full force. “What do you know about him?”
“He went to juvie for a few years,” Matt says. “There’s a rumor that he’s killed someone, or maybe it was two people. Anyways, people call him a psychopath. He always carries at least ten knives on him at all times.”
“Ten knives,” Neil repeats blandly.
“Just telling you what I’ve heard,” Matt says with a shrug.

The new librarian has a reputation. Neil doesn't believe any of it.

“He'd come to the Foxhole Court every inch a lie, but his friends made him into someone real.”
I’m not gonna lie it’s borderline embarrassing how long I’ve worked on this that I’ve spend 2 days tryna figure out how to caption it to make it less embarrassing but oh well. It also made me realise the banner says exy ncaa instead of ncaa exy but at this point that’s none of my business
Short of being inside Nora’s head here is a (mostly) (I think) biblically accurate and to scale model of the Foxhole Court and Nora I have a several questions.
Also rendered so many images of this I had like 50 cameras in the scene would y’all care if I just did a photo dump.
God I have so many things to say about working on this I had to restart like 8 times it was a mess but if I start I won't be able to stop Imao though if anyone's interested in a breakdown of all the sections and materials I would be more than happy to make a post yapping about it.
Viewport renders below
I really wanna expand this and add the ticket both/ food stalls as well as all the behind the scenes areas like the locker room, foyer, foxes lounge, ect. I’ve been slowly mapping out where everything is so shout out to Neil for being overly anxious and needing to map out the layout and exits of every room he walks into.
Everything modelled, rendered and composited in blender, textures painted in clip studio paint.
Ok so this took me 30h total. I’m a little dead but it was very fun to draw, I love all of the foxes and I REALLY needed to draw all of them at some point so 😛
