I was searching for a fix where neil is at a small town maybe placed there by the police, Andrew ran a bookshop. Kevin inherited some sort of magic monster that the moriyamas wanted him to sign away. It's kevandreil

I’m about 99% certain this is the fic you’re looking for, anon. - S

The Town and the Trees by letsjustayhere [Rated T, 37548 Words, Complete, 2021]

Kevin didn’t look up when Neil neared, simply said: “I can’t answer your questions, Neil.” “What,” Neil said, a bit breathlessly and endlessly curious, “are you so afraid of?” And something about Kevin - flickered. Something in his shoulders and in his head as it hung, just for a moment, in defeat. He looked impossibly tired, exhausted in a way that had nothing to do with sleep and everything to do with the burdens they both ignored were there. “Monsters are real, Neil.”  “I know.”

Neil Josten has been dead for six years. For six years he has been a guardian angel, completing assignment after assignment, guided by the cold and unfeeling hand of Death….Neil expects his next assignment to be the same: simple and predictable.

Kevin Day is ND hc by @kevinandthepalmetthoes [Tumblr, 2021] 

when I first read aftg, I immediately recognised myself in Kevin. what I saw was a lot of my autistic traits in his character, and I was sort of shocked when I found out it wasn't canon that he was autistic/adhd. 

Reply to comment on Andrew’s character in Minyard-Josten Rivalry by @andrew-is-foxy [Tumblr, 2021]

I write Andrew as autistic because it’s my interpretation of his character...

autistic neil josten headcanons by @fxndowstuffwhynot [Tumblr, 2020]

- Neil’s special interests would probably be exy and languages right??

- Even when he had money to buy new clothes he refused cause the worn out fabric from his old clothes didn’t give him sensory overload

per your post "every single one of the monsters is autistic and/or adhd" will you elaborate on that? hc by @palmett-hoes [Tumblr, 2020]

okay so i’ve written several posts before about why andrew is autistic. his moral code, the roundabout way he communicates, his body language, his stimulation-seeking behavior, his strict adherence to transactional deals, the emphasis on honesty, and a dozen other details. at this point i just take andrew being autistic as fact, not just an interpretation

[merlinfic]

Looking for a Mergwenthur fic. I don't remember much except a part where Gwen thinks that Merlin always seems to have his head in the clouds. It's their weddings day (I think??) And Merlin fixes the weather/or says he will.

I'm sorry it's so vague

Hiya! I think that's Impossible Dreams by afreezingnote

Summary: If she hadn’t been near enough to observe the soft, gold glow flare from beneath Merlin’s eyelashes, she wouldn’t have known he’d called on his magic at all before he pulled his arm back inside, dried his hand on his trousers, and closed the window.

“Shouldn’t be long now,” Merlin said.

It struck her how the cheerful grin pointed at her now looked just the same on him as it had the day she’d first met him in the stocks. Awash in an odd sense of timelessness, Gwen could hardly believe she would marry the two most powerful men in the five kingdoms that evening.

Ten minutes later, the rain stopped.

“Neither of you are subtle,” Aaron groans. “The whole school is waiting for you to bang already.”

“I don’t want to bang him, Aaron,” Andrew snaps. “I want to take him on dates and hold his stupid hand and then bang him. Longterm. Monogamously. I want to be his boyfriend, I want him to be my boyfriend. I want to one day be Mr. Andrew Minyard-Dobson-Josten.”

Surreal But Nice by fuzzballsheltiepants, gluupor, moonix [Rated T, 35145 Words, Complete, 2020]

A morning bubble by @quexnk [Tumblr Fic, 2017]

Neil balances precariously on the edge of the bed before allowing gravity to pull his body downward. He does it in a sort of rolling motion that’s half-fall and half-precision - which is to say, that he stumbles with purpose off the bed and into a standing position.
