#aftg fics

[minyardsdarling]

i’ve read so many fics that the details blur but i will never forget that one kevaaron fic where they’re fake dating and the foxes bet on who tops / bottoms and aaron gets defensive cause he’s shorter than kevin and that’s the stereotype right? except everyone immediately assumes kevin is the bottom actually and they’re right because when they do eventually start dating fr kevin is the bottom

☀️ WIP WEDNESDAY ☀️

Thank you @pansexualbarbie for the tag!!!!! I CANNOT wait for that fic of yours, gnawing at the bars of my enclosure 🫴🏻

anyway, here's a snippet from my behemoth slash nightmare fic (surprise omega Jeremy Knox anyone? a little sprinkling of rejection sickness? 😋) (it's finally done but it's going through a round of edits soooo hopefully by next week I'll be able to drop the first chapter 🙂‍↔️)

my favourite aftg fics (in no particular order).

not a HUGE list because i'm picky but hopefully this provides some good recs for people.

the sun still rises by mordax (basically a rewrite of the series except neil has a little brother to take care of. very canon compliant which is what i like. andrew pov in this is delicious and very well-written imo. neil isn't ENTIRELY biblically accurate but i wouldn't expect him to be because he's literally taking care of a child in this one so i think that's def going to change things. slowburn andreil the way we like it and they have rlly great chemistry)

all this and heaven too by parkerose, @kevindavidday on tumblr (basically EVERYTHING she writes i'm obsessed with but ataht, you give love a bad name and to be good are the holy trinity to me. this is basically just a kevaaron fic where kevin goes to live w aaron after some health complications and pining and yearning ensues!! yeah LOVE everything she writes the characterisation is always perfect and kevaaron have such amazing chemistry in this one so even if they're not your thing PLEASE check it out anyway. they're also just. really cute.)

you give love a bad name by parkerose (MY FAVOURITE OF ALL TIME DARE I SAY. idk i just love kandreil i love andreil i love kevneil i love kandrew and the way they're written in this one is like HHHHH yeah it's kind of just like kandreil but kevin is a slutty rich boy, kayleigh day is alive, andrew is his situationship that he's in love with and neil becomes his bodyguard. they all want each other BADDD and it's SO good oh my god anyway. also @kevindavidday PLEASE UPDATE I'M LITERALLY BEGGING AND CHEWING ON THE BARS OF MY ENCLOSURE but take all the time that u need just know i will be the FIRST one there u better believe it)

to be good by parkerose (aftg wild geese au. i have no notes. it is actually. insane. only like four chapters are out and i'm insane about it. nathaniel/neil in this one is like.....AH and the jeanneil....THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUTTTT anyway read for andreil jeanneil kevjean and pain)

oakland by agentcoop (this was just like. i'm here for the andreil. it's an au where andreil meet when neil gets caught by the cops and thrown into juvie and his new roomie is andrew. really like...cute. because they're a bit younger. it's like a friends-to-lovers vibe. and they're not ENTIRELY biblically accurate but they're close enough i can overlook it. andrew pov was pretty well-written in this i liked it. and yes there was YEARNING. my favourite. also just like...the way andrew talks to neil in this one....makes me go insane. like it's so simple but it's so oh my god anyway.)

you made a monster out of me by basicallymonsters (aftg rock band au. the writing in this one was SCRUMPTIOUS....the yearning and pining was done SO well. the aesthetics and vibes were super fun. neil was a bit batshit in this one and i'm okay with that. again not PERFECT characterisation but close enough that i don't mind it.)

joyride by gingerssailboat (f1 au. LISTEN. i am not even an f1 fan but THIS FIC. ugh it's perfect. it's so much fun and it's so well-written and addictive. also it's LONG which is so scrumptious and fantastic. the characters aren't necessarily canonically accurate but they're lore-accurate and that's what matters. UGH and the andreil in this...............does things to me.)

enjoy reading these lovelies

[notprocrastinatingatalltoday]

Looking for a fic

So I read this fic around 2021/2022 probably, I cannot remember if it was finished at the time or not, but it probably was at least 50k words.

Anyway, it's a Raven!Neil fic, in the sense he "grew up" in the Nest and after the whole Kevin fiasco, he was send to the foxes in order to get him back.

I only really remember this one scene, where Andrew has taken Neil to Columbia for the first time and drugs him. Neil then says something along the lines of "Please let me pass out before you decide who gets me first. I always hate that part" (this is not exactly what he said, but you get the gist).

I cannot find the fic anymore and im going insaneeee

If you happen to know which one it is, please let me know😭😭

thank you all <3

[pretend-theres-a-name-here]

I don’t want to say too much (because I don’t wanna disappoint if they don’t come to fruition) but I do have a few aftg longfics (and marauders but it’s lwk been a while) in the works and every time I think about them I get so excited but then I think about having to outline them and it gets scary

I have actually made progress on an Aaron centric kevaaron fic (meaning I know what I’m doing/where I’m going) (yes it’s new, yes it’s loosely based on The Great Divide album)

and also a shorter kevsethaaron fic (less progress but we’re getting there)

[spatteredink]

here : ) have some kevandrew antics from this new fic i'm working on!

i love them and this style of dynamic. too bad kev is only a minor character that maybe only shows up once or twice to maybe three times (with him and andrew being long lost friends) in this fic lol.
