This one is deep and funny and has some incredible Malec moments. I read it a while ago and in the spirit of underappreciated fics, yes, please go and read this. It deals with Magnus’ bisexuality in a very good way in my opinion and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. In fact, I read it twice. (and now a third time to refresh my memory for this rec) Also, Jace is a bit of an ass, but no surprise there, it’s just very in character for him :)

Sweet Impossible Blossom by transjorts [Rated M, 16138 Words, Complete, 2022]

“As much as Andrew enjoyed observing men partaking in vigorous activity with very little clothing on, he despised the comparisons he couldn’t help making to his own body. He couldn’t do half as much as Kevin since he refused to not wear his binder in public. The one time he’d tried to mimic Kevin’s usual routine with his binder on he’d nearly fainted, listing sideways until his body slammed into the wall. Kevin had cradled the back of his head as he dropped to the floor. That hadn’t been one of Andrew’s finer moments.”

learning to love by deadwriter16 [Rated G, 3673 Words, Complete, 2021]

Kevin Day is one of the most famous Exy players in possibly the world, so naturally people say things about him. One of the most common rumors is that he's cold, aloof, even unfeeling. And while that may be true to an extent, Kevin knows that he's become so much more. He's surrounded by family and friends who love him and who he loves back. And it's because of them that Kevin knows how to feel, how to love. Basically just Kevin reminiscing about his friendship with each of the Foxes and the people in his life, and about how he recovered and finally became part of a family.

Called them, or his dad, or Betsy for fucks sake but instead he had broken into Nicky’s shit and tried to forget every sentence that he read.

Kevin Day, picked up by Andrew Minyard, hand broken and eyes glossed over because he is dead.

He didn't even know where he was going but the lights of the highway are pretty, and even though he is dead... he's not alone for it.

im looking for a kevjean fic where jean is already a trojan and he is pseudo dating (?) the brother of one of his team mates and is exploring his sexuality very safely with the fratmates of his pseudo boyfriend

ah! jean is also bi

thank you!!!

I’m pretty certain that this is the fic you’re looking for! If it isn't, it's still a fantastic read. It caused a bit of a stir, as this was the author’s only fic on ao3 at the time and nobody knew who they were.  They dropped this amazing fic and vanished. - S

We had despaired of ever finding this, but our teammate S has amazing powers of recall and was able to sleuth it out! It’s a super fun fic with soft, happy andreil and jerejean, plus solid Kevin friendship with everyone. By popular demand the author added an epilogue where the couples play The Newlywed Game with Kevin as host. (The second couple is jerejean, not katelyn/aaron.)

Secrets and Honesty by fullyvisible [Rated T, 42780 Words, Complete, 2021]

Part 1 of the Better Together series

Neil and Andrew aren't on the same professional teams, but that doesn't mean they're any less together. When a photograph gets taken out of context, they decide to go with it, as long as they're both having fun. And they are. Right?

[aftgficrec]

Hi! It’s so nice to see you open! <333

So I'm looking for a fic where Neil and Andrew secretly got married. It all starts with the two of them going to the city hall to get married, and someone captures them on camera entering and leaving the building. But there's a twist: they brought Kevin as a witness, and when they entered the building, Kevin walked alongside Andrew, but exited next to Neil (or the other way around, I don't remember). That's why the whole world thinks that Neil and Andrew hate each other so much that it led to a court case. Then at some point, the three of them + Jean are invited to a TV show. And at some point, the host uses the word "elope," and Neil starts to panic and get confused in a game they were playing on that TV show.

I know exactly which fic you mean, your description is perfect!  It’s part 1 of the series below.  Funnily enough somebody else was looking for this fic quite recently, which just goes to show how popular it is.  Apart from ‘Secrets and Honesty’ we’ve also included part 2 of this series, the prequel leading up to all the shenanigans, and part 3, a sequel featuring jerejean. - S

hi! I wanted to ask for canon compliant fics that are set after the books where neil and andrew are not trying to actively hide their relationship but the press still believes they hate each other, thank youuuuu

Most Minyard-Josten rivalry fics feature Neil or, occasionally, Andrew as the instigator, but I’m sure you’ll enjoy at least some of the fics mentioned here.  The following tags may also yield more results: secret relationship, minyard-josten rivalry,* coming out. - S

heart shaped hatred by WICKEDP0WERS [Rated G, 4780 words, complete, 2021]

The Minyard VS Josten Rivalry continues once more in the latest Ducks VS Pythons Regional game. Held on February 14th, the two teams will face off after a grueling season filled with defeats and victories. These two high ranked Exy teams will battle it out on the court, filling fans of the game with excitement seeing as these two talented teams are going to give everyone a run for their money.

Josten, Starting Striker for the Colorado Ducks was asked about his thoughts on his upcoming rematch with long time rival and ex-teammate from the PSU Foxes, Andrew Minyard. “It’s not really a face off between me and Andrew. The Pythons are a great team and I could say that the Ducks are as well,” Josten said. “I would say it isn’t personal but I can’t wait to beat Andrew Minyard for the next game. I’ve got a score to settle with that angry midget. I can’t wait to see him on the court.”

My take on the Minyard-Josten Rivalry/Pro Andreil!

A long collection of sequential scenes throughout Andrew and Neil's lives, post books.

Including, but not limited to, my interpretation of the Minyard-Josten Rivalry, the old Foxes playing with kittens for a YouTube video, so much soft and sweet Andreil you will get cavities, and headcanons I have been thinking about all year.

Catch Me If You Can by cleopatras [Rated T, 2683 words, complete, 2020]

Months ahead of joining Andrew's team after graduation, Neil accidentally lets an insult slip on the Kathy Ferdinand show. Thus, the Minyard-Josten Rivalry was born, but in all honesty, that couldn't be less accurate.

The Crooked Kind by youreyestheyglow [Rated G, 10512 words, complete, 2020]

Neil went pro a year ago--and not on Andrew's team. The problem: they're private people, and when the press takes their declarations of hate at face value, Andrew and Neil find themselves unwilling to end the rumors.

Reputation by lemonicee [Rated M, 7729 words, complete, 2020]

The rise and fall of the Minyard-Josten Rivalry.

Usually when Neil starts shit in a post-game press interview, he does it on purpose. This time, he really just meant for it to be a joke.

“How do you feel about the possibility of ending up on a team with a former Fox teammate?” is the next question.

“Great,” Neil answers, sincere. “I would love to play with Matt or Kevin again.”

“What about Minyard? Would you sign with Atlanta?”

Neil says, “Andrew? He’s a nightmare.”

He knows it’s a joke. His team knows it’s a joke. Andrew will know it’s a joke.

The press does not seem to know that it’s a joke.
