When Neil flees the Nest and shows up at Palmetto State with an injured wrist, his only plan is to convince Kevin to let him stay. Not to join the team, not to bother the Foxes, but to recover and figure out his next move. Kevin agrees, but what he doesn't know is that Neil's story is spun with lies. Neil will have to keep his true intentions hidden, avoid Andrew's never-ending questions, and stay under the radar - all while adjusting to unexpected soulmate customs outside of the Nest. It shouldn't be a problem, considering he doesn't have a soulmark, but nothing can ever be simple for Neil.

A year after Neil moves into the Foxhole — a rundown off-campus house that nine stoners call home — he thinks he might have found a place made for staying. Unbeknownst to him, "staying" would include dental cleanings, and dental cleanings would lead to something worse than anything he's faced in a life on the run: getting his wisdom teeth removed.

In which Neil doesn't have Kevin Day to convince him to play, so he becomes a sports journalist; Andrew is a keeper in more ways than one; and Quidditch is the sport du jour. Featuring a frankensteined team, eternal roommate Matt, and hawkish sports section editor Dan. Oh, and Andrew has a shady past (present? future?) that Neil can't quite figure out. But that's nothing new for Neil, who is constantly hiding everything about himself anyway—this time with magical abilities greasing the way.

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. 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.

When Andrew came to Palmetto, he never thought it might become home – and even now he’s still not sure it is. Despite living there for nearly six years now, he doesn’t really feel like he belongs. He feels like he’s drifting, simply surviving day after day of whatever life has in store for him. Then Neil Josten shows up – a redhead with a fiery attitude and a million secrets, and Andrew's interest is instantly captured.

Andrew Doe, rude but brilliant consulting detective, thought he had no need of a partner as he worked slowly away at dismantling the largest crime family in the country, helping out with other cases on the side to relieve the tedium. That was, until a scruffy runaway with a stupid amount of secrets stumbled into his life. Or, more accurately, broke into his kitchen.

Just to be safe, though, he sends Andrew in his place. Neil agrees to go on the date and put on his best performance to expose some asshole as a homophobe—if it means getting the Lana Del Rey concert tickets Allison is holding hostage.

“Neil we have to talk about it,” Betsy said “I don’t think so” Neil replied “Nope, not happening” He popped the p at the end trying to make the woman mad at him. "You just tried to kill yourself, so I think we have to have this talk” Betsy didn’t seem bothered by his act and kept her nice, neutral facial expression, but unlike on his session looked worried too.

Maybe Andrew just still wasn’t socialized enough.
