Summary:
Two years after losing Merlin to the Dorocha, Arthur finally repeals the ban on magic. It should be relatively plain sailing from there, except that it's not: his people still regard magic with distrust, no sorcerer would come forward, and Arthur finds himself unable to appoint a Court Sorcerer. With the councillors breathing down Arthur's neck and the eyes of the magical community watching him, he seeks out the Druids beyond the Ridge of Ascetir, led by a powerful sorcerer named Emrys

Finnrey Short: Amnesia
There he was again, walking the boardwalk on Saturday afternoon by the beach on his own. Rey felt a bit silly starring at him, even a little creepy, but it wasn’t intentional. She loved coming to beach even on her own, for some reason it just gave her such feeling of longing and she never really understood why. But this guy stood out, on a Saturday afternoon both him and her were probably the only ones alone at the beach.
Unfortunately she never worked up the nerve to approach him. She couldn’t put her finger on it, but he gave her a similuar feeling to the beach, one almost nostalgic.
Oh crap, Rey thought when the man caught her starring.
She looked away but already knew he was coming over. She tried to regain her composure.
“Hey.” he greeted.
“Hi.” Rey said back, feeling nervous.
“I’m Finn.” he said, sticking out his hand.
Rey accepted with handshake. “Finn, I like that.”
“What?” he chuckled.
Rey couldn’t help but laugh herself. “Oh sorry. Finn, I just feel like it’s been forever since I’ve heard that name. It’s nice.”
Finn nodded with the brightest smile. “I don’t know your name?”
“I’m Rey. I’m glad you came over, I feel like I’ve seen you before.”
She felt a little at ease when he scratched his head showing an equal amount of nerves.
“I saw you surfing last last week. You were awesome. So many people gathered around I thought you were a pro or something.”
Rey laughed, feeling much more relaxed. “No no I just do that for fun. Do you surf?”
Finn shook his head. “Na can’t even get near water. I hate sand.”
Rey laughed even harder, “Then why do you come to the beach?”
Finn scratched his head again. “I don’t know, ever since I was a kid I just feel, relaxed by it.”
“Yeah I know what you mean.”
A comfortable silence fell between them, and they just stood their starring at each other for a moment.

All I Wanted by maydaykevin [Rated T, 9287 words, complete, 2022]
Matt befriends a new student who takes a particular interest in Neil. Andrew doesn’t care. He doesn’t care about anything.
And Neil thought he was the only liar.
I Never Said I Loved You by phan_taloon [Rated T, 5281 words, complete, 2022, locked]
Andrew never learned how to love, never quite learned what loving someone or something means or requires, never knew how loving felt like. After so many fucking years with Neil fucking Josten and their not-nothing, he has no idea if he loves him.
This didn't go in the direction I initially planned and might be the softest thing I've written.

Life Flashing Truth by kimberly_show [Rated G, 1970 words, complete, 2022]
Andrew knew about car crashes. He caused one when he was sixteen and lived with minor injuries.
He knew the sound of metal tearing, denting, and ripping apart as it hit metal.
He knew the snap of a seat belt holding him in place, keeping him safe as someone else flew through the front windshield.
He knew the whiplash, his head smacking back against the headrest, the headache.

There Now, Steady Love by jingerhead [Rated G, 7040 words, complete, 2021]
All it had taken was a broken strap, a helmet flying loose, and a rough push. That was all it took for Neil to feel like his entire life was taken away from him. He could barely remember that one of the things Andrew told him after he’d woken up, caught in a panic because he couldn’t see, was that his uncle had pulled through somehow and he didn’t have to worry. That things were taken care of, and they’d figure it out, together. But Neil’s world still came crashing down piece by piece.
He could never play again.

Due to a sudden head injury, Neil ends up blind and can't play the sport he's built his life around. Andrew teaches him how to again.
Don't Say I Mean Nothing to You by minyardslawyer [Rated T, 3473 words, complete, Aftg Exchange 2021]
I hate you
I don't think I believe that anymore
Neil Josten and Andrew Minyard's hatred for each other is destructive and violent. It's only a matter of time before one of them kills the other.
That is until Andrew waits up for Neil, finding him hurt at 4 in the morning.
And he begrudgingly doesn't let him die.

You Know I Never Forgot by RainbowObsidian [Rated M, 11734 words, complete, 2021, locked]
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.

Except When It's No by TheRainbowElectric [Not Rated, 19263 words, complete, 2021]
It doesn't make sense. Neil was fine. More than fine. He’s safe at home with Andrew, and this should be the best possible ending to one of Neil’s best days, but when Neil squeezes his eyes shut, all he can see is —
Riko grinning with vicious pleasure as he slices Neil open. Riko’s eyes reflecting the glow of the lighter licking Neil’s skin. Riko laughing as a tattoo gun needle digs into Neil’s cheek.
Riko, Riko, Riko, smothering and impossible to escape. Panic knifes through Neil as he yanks uselessly against the handcuffs. No, no, no —
And then he’s saying it aloud, “No, no, no,” because there isn't a gag cutting into the sides of his mouth. Because Neil isn’t at Evermore. He’s at home with Andrew, who’s right there when Neil opens his eyes — only near the foot of the bed now, not touching Neil at all.
Neil has long gotten used to reading the faint shades of emotion that pass for expressions on Andrew’s face. But never, not even in Andrew's medicated, manically expressive days, has Neil seen Andrew wear anything like his current look of horrified shock.
Neil agrees to try the handcuffs in bed. It goes badly. Cue angst and h/c.

Shitty City Sunrise by Alyxj0 [Rated G, 2287 words, complete, 2021]
Maybe it was some sort of cosmic joke that his neighbor opened the door as he arrived on the third floor, the two of them coming face to face.
Hazel met blue as eyes caught on each other, Andrew’s widening before raking them up and down Neil’s body.
“You’re bleeding, Josten.”
In which Neil does some dumb things, Andrew takes care of him for the first time, and maybe Neil starts to get comfortable in his new life- no thanks to the weather and WITSEC.

“You could’ve come to me”, Matt says. “I was still in the dorm. I could’ve taken you.”
Neil frowns. “Taken me where?”
That seems to stop them in their tracks. Matt huffs a nervous laugh, says, “The ER?”
Neil is used to stitching up his own wounds. The others aren't as used to it.

Can we can pretend like we're (not) in love? by aceofreaders (Kickasscookieeater) [Not Rated, 5191 words, complete, 2020, locked]
Andrew doesn't understand the difference between small fears and big fears. All fear is the same to him. Foreign, complicated, and large. It is an emotion acutely alien to Andrew, not because he can't feel it but because he's never known how to feel it properly. And you'd think after that Thanksgiving, after Baltimore, there'd be no more of it left to feel anyway.
But life isn't fair. And accidents can still happen. Or almost happen. And Andrew always has more to lose.

Chapter 39: Andreil- Crumbs
As usual, Neil felt he was being perfectly reasonable and had no idea why everyone was so irritated with him. It was just a sprained ankle. He had rolled it on a rock during one of his morning jogs. It wasn’t even a big deal. He’d ran on worse.

Patch Your Wounds by OrdinaryVegan [Rated T, 2290 words, complete, 2017]
“Really, Neil,” Andrew drawls. He could have chosen to phrase it as a question, but Neil knows he isn’t surprised. It’s more of an acknowledgement of Neil’s apparent inability to remain injury-free. “You’ve been here for less than forty-five seconds, and you’re already bleeding on my carpet.”
In which Neil is a klutz, the cats are a nuisance, and Andrew is his own special brand of helpful.

anonymous asked: "Here's ab Andreil prompt: imagine Aaron Andrew is about to being hurt and Neil saves him (and ofc he gets hurt in his place) pls andrew's reaction"
Andrew hates Neil. He truly, completely, utterly and thoroughly hates him. His cheeks are numb from the cold. His eyes hurt from squinting at the ground to avoid any slippery patches of ice, and he feels like an overstuffed sausage in the coat, scarf, gloves, boots, thick socks, and thermal underwear.

Summary:
It’s been five years since Arthur took the throne and Camelot is thriving, thanks to his hard work and willingness to listen to his best friend and closest advisor, Gwen. Dedicated to improving life for his people, Arthur gave up on romance years ago to focus on economic revitalization and building a lasting peace with the Druids.
But everything changes when a new shop opens next door to the Rising Sun, selling a strange drink from a distant land. Arthur soon finds himself regularly frequenting the Lazy Daisy, drawn to the coffee and the captivating shopkeeper, a man called Merlin who seems strangely familiar. Will he be the one to convince Arthur to let down his defenses and follow his heart?
Comments: Oh man, what didn’t I love about this fic! I absolutely adored Arthur throughout the fic and seeing him wanting to and trying to change things in Camelot was fantastic. His banter with Merlin at the coffee shop made me all *heart eyes emoji* and I was so pleased when they finally got together. And honestly, I just loved all the characters in this fic—Gwen especially! It’s a great fic!
