I would like to recommend the works by KathrineJ, specifically the 'Sometimes to run is the brave thing' series, which is a really heart-breaking take on what would happen if Neil ended up becoming a raven after staying at Evermore for xmas. It's 2 parts, with one part being Andrew's POv and one being Neil's. Loved Jean in this too!!

thanks for the rec!!

sometimes to run is the brave thing by kathrinej (M | 20,341 | 2 works)

It has been years since Neil disappeared in the night, only to reappear the following semester on the starting line-up for the Ravens, the name Wesninski painted across his back. A chance encounter at a Gala leads Andrew to believe there might be more to the story of Neil's defection than what they'd been led to believe. - In which Neil would do anything to protect his family. If protecting them meant he could never go home again, so be it.

i know i'm no sweet prince of love by orphan_account (M | 5,013 | 1/1)

Kevin’s so obviously stressed about Janie being hospitalized that it’s giving Aaron hives. He’s pacing back and forth, tugging at his hair, muttering under his breath, and it’s really starting to piss Aaron off. He’s got a chem midterm in three days and walking through the March drizzle to the library is out of the question, since he’s paid sixty bucks for this textbook and he’s not going to let it get water damage.

But Kevin’s absolutely fucking insufferable right now. “Dude,” Aaron huffs, “Go beat off and calm the fuck down. You’re getting bad vibes all over my study space.”

---

In which Kevin and Aaron make one too many self-destructive choices, and it's good until it's not.

Hi! Just wanted to rec The Best of Men by Fightmeimsmall ❤️ it made me laugh and feel I also wanted to say I love and appreciate this blog

here’s the rec, and thank you! -maz

The Best of Men by FightMeImSmall (G | Incomplete | 4/5)

SHOCK: Kevin Day reveals both Andrew Minyard AND Neil Josten are to fill his coveted Best Man position!

Fans have been speculating ever since Kevin Day and Thea Muldani announced their engagement as to who Day would ask to be by his side. Many discounted fox involvement entirely, suggesting fellow famous exy players such as Jeremy Knox, Jean Moreau, or even Marcus Jameson. The few that speculated that either Andrew Minyard or Neil Josten would be chosen were stoutly supportive of one and discounted the other. Who could have foreseen that Day would choose both! How these two famously antagonistic players will fare will remain to be seen. Good luck Kevin and Thea!

Or

Kevin choses both Andrew and Neil to be his best man, and the three of them give their first ever interview together.

I wanna rec “stripped down to our skeletons again” by sinistercacophony. It has such wonderful twinyards feels while still being in character, which is hard to manage with those two. It’s a great read!

cheers for the rec -maz

“You look like shit.”

A+ Aaron. Stunning observation. You’re gonna win next year’s socialization tournament hands down.

Hey, I love the stuff you do here... wondering if I could recommend a book called Call the doctor (I may need help) by Im_really_confused. It's a really well written story, and part of a series. Highly recommend it, super cute and the fic is complete. Thanks, love the effort put into this page, I truly appreciate it.

Aaron's been a doctor for over 5 years now, and every once in a while he gets a patient that reminds him of his past.

Aaron gets a new patient, and it hits a little too close to home

cue the Minyard family

Take to the Wing by IceEckos12 (M | 68,859 | 20/20)

Neil is not able to hold out until the end of Winter Break, and signs himself over to Edgar Allan. Trapped in the Raven's Nest, he fights for his right to exist.

The Foxes are devastated at the loss of another member of their family. Beset upon by enemies at all sides, including from within, they begin to fracture even further. But all is not yet lost. After all, that which fractures only becomes stronger when it heals.

i'd like to recommend If You Must by Tourmaline147

Of course! -Beth

If You Must by Tourmaline147 (M | 181,788 | 16/16)

Neil's whole world went up in flames the minute he burned his mother's dead body. Mary prepared him for almost every possible scenario, except this one. Now he's stuck in the middle of California trying to restart his life.

Andrew's world had been dark long before Neil Josten came into town. He's been barely living the past few years but he was working on that.

Together these two strangers who only knew how to survive take on a new challenge: learning to live.

                                                                       *** Featuring the other foxes, the bad guys, copious amounts of music, and, hopefully, happiness.

                                                                       *** Basically a high school au with music. Enjoy.
