    Summary

    Neil has been on the run since the day he turned into something his father didn’t want, but losing his mother changed everything. Neil can’t survive on his own, he just isn’t strong enough, the only tool he has left in his arsenal is to stay shifted, remain a wild animal for as long as possible. He only gets drawn into a populated area because he’s starving, and he only stays for a little bit because he can’t help but be intrigued. Then Kevin fucking Day gets involved, and suddenly Neil is stuck.

    Injured, paranoid, and trapped in the body of an animal, Neil is at the mercy of the foxes’ kindness. And he’s never been one to put faith in the kindness of others. But the foxes are, in their strange ways, kind; Abby is firm in her care, Wymack is gruff in his concern, and Andrew is hilariously blasé in his curious interest. But Neil is running for a reason, even if he’s not sure he wants to run anymore.

    Summary

    Kevin is on his back, earphones in as he works on his paper for his Women in History class. The fan is on overhead, and the pillow under his back and shoulders is firm and just right. His fingers glide over the keys, and the funky Afro-beats study playlist Jeremy sent him is definitely not his usual vibe, but it's really working for him right now. His foot bobs idly as he works.

    The door opens and he flicks his gaze up, then looks back down at his paper, types two words, and then looks back up abruptly with quick blinks.

    Because yes, the door has opened, and yes, Andrew and Neil have come in. Those things are normal, run-of-the-mill, routine. But this time, they're joined at the mouth, and Neil is being pushed in backwards, hands behind his back as Andrew blindly kicks the door shut behind them and grips Neil's hips. Neil groans and kisses Andrew back, takes another step backwards when Andrew pushes.

    It's not not the first time Kevin has watched his "not"-boyfriends make out. Just. Usually, it's sort of a…prearranged kind of thing.

    Summary

    “Will you be able to play?” Dan asks, voice layered with concern.

    Neil blinks, confused. “Why wouldn’t I be able to play?”

    “What our fearless leader means is—will you be able to focus on the game instead of Andrew’s mouth and impressive biceps,” Allison clarifies, saddling up next to Neil with a knowing look.

    “I—” Neil starts.

    “I mean, I get it,” Allison continues. “He has really nice biceps.”

    Neil lets a rival goalie take a body shot off him at a bar. Things devolve from there.

    Summary

    “We were talking about true mates!” Nicky says practically hopping up and down in his seat.

    Neil blinks away memories from a windowless room, his ears itching with the whispers of a french accent.

    “Okay?” Neil asks, not sure he wants to be talking about this. He wants to turn to Andrew for reassurance, for what he doesn’t know, but it feels too vulnerable for some reason, even in this room filled with his family.

    Something must leak into his scent because Andrew is moving from his spot on Renee’s bed to the couch Neil’s been leaning back against. Neil adjusts so that Andrew can slide behind him completely, his legs framing Neil’s body from his spot on the floor.

    Neil hovers a hand over his calf, only wrapping his arm around it when Andrew pushes into his touch. Andrew’s warm fingers grasp the mess of Neil’s curls next, still tousled from them earlier, and drag him to lean against the plush muscle of his thigh.

    “I’m still not used to them being adorable,” Dan stage whispers to Allison.

    With Andrew bracketing him, it’s a lot easier for Neil to pay attention to their words now.

    “So what about true mates?” Neil asks, all unease forgotten.

    Summary

    "I'm fine with it," Andrew says, "If you ever want to pretend again."

    "Like..." Neil starts off unsurely, a frown on his lips. He gestures awkwardly between them. "Us? Being..."

    Andrew gives him a lazy shrug, trying to downplay the whole motion. Together. Dating. Fucking. Whatever the term, nothing quite seems to fit right — but that's because none of them are things that Andrew can truly have.

    After an injury forces Neil to retire from his Olympic track-star career, Andrew brings Neil to the sleepy town of Palmetto to try and piece his life back together.

    Of course, he catches everyone's interest, even though he's trying his hardest to avoid attention. And it seems Andrew's on a streak of terrible, terrible ideas when it comes to Neil Josten.
