Neil's well aware that this is the first time he and Andrew are away from the others. And the idea that there's no one but Andrew for miles sets a low heat in Neil's stomach. They're by themselves on the road and Neil isn't sure what to expect. But he figures he'll know by the end of the week whether this trip was a good idea.
You Feel Like Home by BelovedPoison [Rated M, 12369 Words, Complete, AFTG Fall Exchange 2020]
Neil hadn't been sure on getting cats at first. Andrew was certain and firm in his desire. Neil on the other hand, worried he'd be a terrible cat parent. Turns out though, Sir and King are great, owning cats is great, even when they look you dead in the eyes and knock shit off the table like a fluffy asshole. And surprisingly they work wonders with Andrew. Cats are the perfect pet for Andrew and Neil hasn't fucked anything up, and he's pretty sure they are the perfect blend of caring and asshole to fit into their life, so yeah cats are good and Neil loves every minute with them.
So does Andrew but he'll stab anyone who isn't Neil that tries to say that. Seriously, ask Nicky, he knows.

You Know I Never Forgot by RainbowObsidian [Rated M, 11734 Words, Complete, 2021, Locked]
Part 2 of The Charleston Chronicles
Topher was Andrew’s longest and least complicated relationship. The dusty brown fur-ball had followed Andrew home from the grocery store one cold fall day when he was a pup. Small and scruffy, ordinary, forgettable.
Topher was the reason Andrew’s writing career had taken off.
Topher was the reason Andrew could deal with the mindfuckery that was discovering he had a twin.
And Topher would be—if Andrew wasn’t Andrew—the reason he never forgot the first unmemorable, dusty creature he’d come across almost twenty years ago.
Or, a lifetime ago Andrew met a dusty and thoroughly (un)forgettable barista. A lifetime later he meets him again.

“That’s not funny,” Betsy sighed. “You’re hurting.”

Part 1 of the Foxglove Favors series

Before Rainfall by tsauergrass [Rated G, 2417 Words, Complete, 2021]
On his path were traces Neil had left: a dent in the couch, a mug half-full with coffee on the table. They were eleven hours apart and neither of them celebrated Christmas, but still Neil had come.

Aka, 5 times Neil asked Andrew to dance and the 1 time Andrew asked first

low quay, no pressure (just hang with me and my weather) by scribbleb_red [Rated T, 11024 Words, Complete, 2021]
NB: Find the playlist for this fic here
A terrible storm. A daring rescue. For Andrew, fisherman by day and lifeboat crewmate of the RNLI's Sea Fox by night, it should all be in a day's work. But when it puts him face to face with Neil Josten, someone he thought he'd left firmly in the past, it does more than interrupt his quiet, seaside town life. Loosely inspired by Rose-Coloured Boy by Paramore.

Do I Wanna Know? by AfraidOfBananas [Rated M, 7091 Words, Complete, Aftg Mixtape Exchange 2021]
”It’s like Schrödinger’s Cat; If you open the box, you’ll find that the cat is either dead or alive. But as long as you keep the box closed, then the cat is both dead and alive at the same time because you don’t know the actual truth of what’s inside. Andrew could just ask Neil where they stand with each other, but Andrew’s not sure if he wants to hear the answer. What if Neil rejects him? As cliched as it sounds, Andrew doesn’t think he could handle that. Neil is the first person that Andrew had made a place for in his life after finding Nicky and Aaron. Andrew can’t imagine losing that.
So he’ll keep his thoughts to himself and lock the box tighter.”
ghostin' by jewelsofnight [Rated T, 13124 words, Complete, Aftg Exchange 2020]
His tone turned mocking. "What do you think a man can do in five years, to get past that?"
Neil looked directly at him this time, not backing down. "We do whatever we can to survive in that time. You weren't the only one, Andrew. I didn't actually leave by choice."
Neil Josten is a singer with two jobs, trying to make ends meet for another miserable winter. But every plan he has is turned upside down when he's unexpectedly reunited with a love from the past who wants answers for his lies. He may not believe in fate, but he thinks he may believe in the choices 'yes or no', and that family is not always chosen but sometimes found.
