#no exy

[theodoremiamore]

Every time I'm reading tags on aftg ff and see "au - no exy" I'm thrown out of my shoes and left feeling so disrespected that it's ridiculous. Like what do you mean no exy, how do you live without exy, what do you mean they are normal about no exy, I'll not be normal about no exy. Did we read the same books? AND YOU SAY NO EXY??? Dishonor on you, don't go blemishing name of Kevin Day like that.

AFTG: Turning Orange

(Say whatever you what, I don't care I fucking love this movie)

*SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED IT YET!!!*

____________________________________________

So Neil is a sophomore year at highschool who can turn into a fox

In this AU, Neil has Brown hair that turns dark red when he turns into a fox

The Fox comes from his Father's side of the family, his father was known to use it for bad reasons

Neil lives with his mom, Mary and his uncle, Stuart

His mom HATES the fox because it reminds her so much of his father and sees him in Neil

Stuart on the other hand, doesn't see anything wrong and tells him that he looks nothing like his father

Neil only turns into a fox whenever he feels anger or whenever he panics

he loves playing Lacrosse and is close friends with a few of his teammates (mainly Matt, Allison and Dan)

Has a crush on one of his teammates, Andrew, but doesn't tell his mom because it would go completely wrong

Him and his friends gush over their favourite pop band, The Monsters

At one point, one of the freshmen was taunting Neil at after-school practice to the point where he gets extremely angry and turns into the giant fox

Neil ends up running home because he felt so ashamed off himself

His friends then came to his place, thinking he got hurt or something bad happened to him (His mom wasn't present at the time, because she would find out that Neil has friends and lose it)

They see Neil's fox form and immediately they LOVE it

They even start calling him a furry, Neil often has to tell them to shut up

Since then, Neil got used to his red hair, his fox form and doesn't see his father in himself at all

And when Andrew saw this form, he actually liked it and complimented him, Neil almost lost it

Fast forward to when Neil decided to go to the school dance and was hanging out with his teammates outside when his mom came

She made a whole scene and began yelling at him about how he shouldn't be with anyone and how he shouldn't use the fox in front of everyone

Neil tries to argue back but it doesn't work

Stuart came with her and tried to calm her down, telling her there's nothing to worry about, but Mary didn't listen

She dragged Neil away as Stuart apologizes to the others

The next day, the same day The Monsters were planning to perform tonight, Neil avoided the others out of guilt and shame

That night, his mom calls in a group of professionals to remove the fox from Neil

It fails and Neil runs away to The Monsters concert

This gets Mary upset, but it gets worst from there

N*than's soul gets awaken as an angry fox spirit and chases Neil, who has no idea

Meanwhile, Neil meets up with his friends and ends up apologizing for everything and saying that he should've known better

His friends forgave him, and Andrew's lot joins them as they enjoy the concert together

But all of a sudden, N*than's spirit barges in and pulled Neil out

Neil turns into a fox and tries to fight back

It was challenging at first but with the help of his friends cheering, the professionals chanting and the Monsters singing he was able to defeat the spirit

Fast forward to when it was all over, Mary then realizes what she had done and apologizes to Neil

Neil was able to fix his relationship with his mom and keep the fox with him

Thus, everything was back to normal!

(What do you think The Monsters would be like???)

Bookmarker's Notes:

The Light in Morocco is indeed Divine, especially when your generous + super talented writer friend @justadreamfox​ describes it in such a story as this one. Have you ever wondered what it might look like for an adult Renee + Jean to be together (outside the exy universe 😉)? Ever wondered how couples with different comfort levels around exchanging power might work things out together? If your curiosity has led you to either of these places, you have a treat ahead of you!

Brew yourself a cup of mint tea and join Renee + Jean for one day during their summer in Meknes, Morocco. Come for the rooftop art studio + marketplace vibes, stay for the magic of a couple who know some fabulous dances which bring each other enjoyment, and leave learning a little bit more about how any one of us might do the same.

If you like what you read, I trust you'll let the author, my friend Zan, know. 💜

!! hello !! so there was this fic and it was in aaron’s pov, him and neil studied together i’m pretty sure. and basically it just showed neil falling for andrew in aaron’s perspective and that’s all i can remember from it. sorry if this is vague but if u could find it that would be incredible

Anonymous said: This is quite late but a while ago someone asked about fics where Neil and Aaron are friends and I’d like to recommend ‘Knives and Spoons’, part one of ‘Salt Bros & Roller Derby Vixens’ by SpangleBangle :)

Knives And Spoons by moonix for SpangleBangle (T | 7,176 | 1/1)

Aaron isn’t pleased that his study buddy is starting to fall for his twin brother, but it’s happening despite his best efforts.

“We’re always both in the apartments’ fitness center at 3 am” -- Andreil apartment neighbours~~~ Who sadly have insomnia~~~

Neil would much rather be running on pavement right now.  He could be breathing fresh air instead of the odor of sweat and gym socks.  He could be hearing distant traffic and stray animals instead of the low hum of the TV and the mechanical whirr of the treadmill below him.  He could be looking ahead at sights he had never seen instead of watching the miles slowly click upward on the treadmill display.

But Neil had learned his lesson after the last time.  Browning had told him a hundred times that running at 3 am made him unusual, made him remarkable.  And Browning had been right.  All it had taken was for some bored teen on a night shift in a local convenience store to see him running by every night and tweet about it.  Romero had been waiting for him in the darkness.  Neil had barely escaped with his life.  If Browning had been a little slower to respond when Neil pressed his panic button, there would have been nothing left of him to save.

Browning wanted him to stop running altogether.  This was their compromise, an apartment building with a resident only gym in the basement.  And so when the nightmares drove him from his bed, Neil had somewhere to go.

Two months after he moved into his new place, he no longer had the place to himself at 3 am.  He almost didn’t notice the blond at first.  He wasn’t using any of the machines.  He was just scrunched up in one of the corners between the weight machine and the wall and he had the tv turned up louder than Neil was used to.  But far be it from him to prevent someone else from finding a refuge.  He just ran as usual until he could see the rosy light of dawn peeking through the blinds on the windows.  He didn’t notice when the other guy left.

They soon established a routine of sorts. The blond was almost always there first.  Neil soon learned to make noise outside the door to keep the guy from flinching away when he entered the room.  And then he would leave before Neil tired of running.  Sometimes Neil nodded to him when he left but more often, he was too stuck in his own head to even notice.  

One night, the guys face is swollen, black and blue.  Neil can’t stop the horrified gasp from coming out of his mouth.  “What the hell happened?” he asked.

“Nothing,” the other guy replied.  “It was an accident.”  And he curled himself up further into his corner.  Neil let him go and turned to his treadmill.  The last thing he needed to do was get involved in someone else’s problems.

But later, when he looked up from the display in front of him, the man, or actually, really more like a boy was standing there and watching him.  Neil stepped down, his legs like jelly.  He was surprised to realize the kid was shorter than him by about three inches and he suddenly seemed much younger than Neil had thought, maybe 18 to Neil’s 22.

“What are you running from.” the kid stated flatly.

Neil looked at him warily.  “That didn’t really sound like a question.”

“It wasn’t,” he said.

“I’m not running from anything.  Stationary bike, remember?” Neil scoffed.

“Right, that’s exactly how a normal, well-adjusted person runs on a treadmill.” The kid raised one eyebrow.

“The past,” Neil replied.

“I suppose that’s all the honesty I’m going to get out of you,” The kid looked away as if bored.  He looks back and furrows his brow for a minute.  “Andrew,” he finally said.

“What?” Neil asked, taken aback.

The kid, Andrew, just shot him a look and went back to curl up in his corner.  He left about twenty minutes later.

“Andrew,” Neil called after him.  “Call me Neil.”

Andrew nodded and vanished up the stairs before the door could swing closed behind him.

This first interaction was not the opening of the floodgates but Neil immediately sensed that Andrew knows all about secrets and how to keep them.  

The next night, Andrew abandoned his corner and sat beside the treadmill instead.  Neil did his best not to watch him while he was running.

“Don’t you have a TV in your apartment?” Neil asked.  Andrew looked up and Neil could almost see his defences rising.  He also saw the moment Andrew decided not to lie.  

“Yes, but it would keep Drake up,” he said after a long pause.

“Who’s Drake?” Neil asked.  But Andrew was done speaking.

Neil was still guarded, letting Andrew know only vague details.  Andrew soon knew that he was in witness protection and that he came from a mob family, but not from what city and definitely no names.  If Andrew knew too much, it would paint a target on his back.

Neil saw Drake two weeks later.  He was dressed in workout clothes, the shorts exposing horrific scarring on his leg.  He had a crutch under his left arm and Andrew under his right.  He was shouting.  “Hurry the fuck up, idiot.  You wanna carry me if my leg goes out?”  He saw Neil looking out his door at the two of them.  “Whatcha looking at, fag?  Jealous?”  He grabbed Andrew by the back of the head and mashed their lips together violently.  Andrew’s hands trembled as he helped Drake the rest of the way to their door.

“Is Drake your boyfriend?”  Neil asked the next night.

Andrew hesitated, grimacing, but eventually he just nodded and put his head down on his knees.

“Why don’t you leave him?”  Neil whispered.

“I promised,” Andrew mumbled into his knees.

“Promised who?” Neil continued but Andrew was done talking for the night.

There were more bruises the next night, painting his chin, his ankles where his pants were riding up, and peppered all over his neck and collarbone.  He didn’t look at Neil at all, just started talking.  “I promised Cass.  She was my foster mother.  She loved me.  But she got cancer.  She was dying and Drake came back injured from Afghanistan.  She made us promise we would stick together so we wouldn’t be alone.”

“Is Drake…another foster kid?” Neil asked.

“He’s her son, her real son,” Andrew mumbled, face turned away from Neil.

“So he’s like your brother?  And he’s old.  What is he, 26?”  Neil coaxed.

“He’s 28,”  Andrew finally looked up at him and the despair on his face is enough for Neil to scramble down off the treadmill and sit in front of Andrew, their knees barely touching.

“Do you really need to be…with him?” Neil pleaded.  “Surely you didn’t promise her…that.”

“It’s the only way he wanted me,” Andrew spat.

“And now?  What do you want?”  Neil asked, extending his hands forward but not touching Andrew.

“I want to choose for myself,” Andrew whispered fiercely.

“And I…I want to stop running from my past,” Neil admitted.

Andrew finally reached forward and gripped Neil’s hands, hard.  “Maybe it’s time we make a deal.  You make sure I have a future beyond Drake and I’ll give you a reason to stay.”

Neil leaned forward slowly and Andrew came to him.  They sat for awhile, foreheads touching, breathing the same air.  Neil moved an inch closer and brushed his lips faintly over Andrew’s.  “Deal,” he whispered.

Life without Exy Au

This is sort of in the vain of those early 20s movie where somthing totally wild happens to the main protagonist but like they just roll with .eg freaky Friday, 30 going on 13.

This could either be taken in a serious tone or just be solid crack. Right so...

Neil is in an accident or dies idk and wakes up in / has visions of an AU world where Exy didn't take off / was never invented. Neil decides to track down his fox's and check that they are OK, especially Andrew. Exy was such an important part of all their lives he is scared of what will have happened to them without it. He involves himself in all of their lives in some way or another and helps them the best he can.

The real Neil of this world has been missing presumed dead for over a decade along with Mary. Are they still running or are they 6ft under in pieces.

Kevin dosn't existe cause kayliegh never meet David? Or maybe he grow up with both his parents cause without Exy kayliegh would never have been involved so deeply with the Moryamias? So he's probably at university doing a history major and is a totally different person with out the influence of the nest.

Dan is still stripping, working hard to pay her way through community college and living in the trailer park? Maybe she took up a different sport?

Matt either fell off the wagon again and is strung out / dead or followed in his mother's footstep and became a boxer?

Jean was still sold to the Moryiamias to pay his families debts and is either now dead or stuck somewhere awfully.

Tetsuji was killed after the failure of Exy for not bringing anything to the family or is out there running some semi dogie business maybe with Riko?

And so on, I think it could really go in any direction. Honestly, nothing could change they all just play lacrosse instead 😅. Think it has to be a story about how exy and Wymack, for the most part, saved them through the power of 2nd chances. Probably be more interesting from Andrews' pov , might teach him to finally love the game.
