I’m not sure if you’ve already had an ask like this but I’ve been looking for some fics that cover Neils mothers abuse with the foxes and or Andrew finding out and I was wondering if you could help? Ps this blog is the best 💗💗💗
We’ve recced a couple that deal with Andrew or the Foxes finding out about Neil’s abuse. See “Safe and Sound” from this ask and “Those That Broke Us” from this ask. We’ve found another couple canon-compliant Tumblr headcanons and a couple AUs that deal with this topic as well -K
NB: all these fics contain a trigger warning for child abuse.
Canon compliant:

Ultraviolence by Iscar123 [Rated E, 76527 words, Complete 2017]
Neil Josten is of the most successful songwriters in the industry but years of blocking out his own personal pain and writing mind numbing radio hits have started to wear him down so he decides to take a break from it all and return to The Fox Hole, the bar he stumbled onto years ago and helped set up an open mic night at.
It’s there he meets Andrew Minyard, a bartender who makes an immediate impression on him. Something about Andrew tells him to run but it’s either his own stubbornness or his pension for self destruction that makes him stay.
Nothing in his life will ever be the same after the first night he spends back in the place he used to call home.

Baby Foxes Still Bite by Aelys_Althea [Rated T, 26123 words, complete, 2019]
‘Normal’ wasn’t exactly normal when it came to the Palmetto State Foxes. Everyone knew that, and the exceptional history of each of its members only added to that perception. Abnormal wasn’t supposed to included supernatural, though.
With a baby fox abruptly in their midst, it seemed that the curious life of Neil Josten would never cease to be an even greater exception.
