Upside down (Boy, you turn me inside out) by Spittingoffthedge

Summary
“You said it’s shit.”
“I did.” Andrew agrees.
“You said it isn’t a permanent fix.”
“It’s not.”
Andrew reaches through the window, plucks the tree shaped air freshener off the rearview mirror, holds it to his nose. Neil waits, knows that it lost its scent months ago. He isn’t sure why he’s held on to it, just knows he likes the look of it dangling while he drives. It’s another identifiable feature to his car, another way to know Neil Josten drove this Subaru.
His mother would have hit him before throwing it away.
Andrew places the scentless piece of cardboard back in its spot with a delicacy that indicates understanding. A gentleness that makes Neil wonder if Andrew Minyard, with his family and his fancy sports car and his leather jacket, is also learning how to be a real person.
“I can fix it.” Andrew says, and for the first time since he came upon Neil and his unresponsive engine, he looks away.
“You can fix it,” Neil echoes, a question and a statement in one.
“Yes.” Andrew replies.
~
Neil’s car breaks down. Cue the cute blonde with a knowledge of cars, a cool leather jacket, and a long term crush on the helpless redhead.Bookmarked by Dridwine

Summary
“Christ, Kevin, would you just calm down?” she said, exasperated. “I mean, God, do you have a crush on him or something?”
She did not expect Kevin to stare back at her, again, as if she were an idiot.
“What?” she demanded.
Kevin visibly hesitated. “They didn’t tell you?” he asked dubiously.
“Tell me what? That you’re a bloody psycho?”
Kevin stared at her some more. He flicked his gaze over her shoulder, to where she knew Andrew and Neil still were. When he looked at her again, a flush had begun to crawl up his neck. He cleared his throat. His lips parted on words that would not come.
She stared back at him. “Oh my god, have you actually got a crush on Andrew?”
~^~
Five times the Foxes find out Neil has two boyfriends, plus one other time.

Summary
Stuart knows it’s perfectly normal for teenagers to have crushes. That’s why he’s not surprised in the slightest when Neil starts acting strange; lighter, happier. However, what he doesn’t expect is for the crush to leak into his everyday life—or literally take up residence in his house.
Or: five times Stuart knew Neil was hiding a nighttime guest, and one time he actually met him.- Language:

Caretaking 101: When to Surrender a Sweatshirt by williams_strawberries
Fandoms: All For The Game - Nora Sakavic

Tags
Summary
Neil was acting shifty, and Andrew knew why; that motherfucker was leaving. Despite the promise between them, Neil was prepping to run. Andrew wasn't upset about that, not at all. After all, if notorious Neil "No-Swing" Josten needed to leave after Andrew admitted his desires regarding his proximity to Neil's shorts, who was Andrew to stop him. But that doesn't explain why Neil was stealing socks, or why he wanted Andrew's clothes.
Whatever. That was probably unrelated.Series

Summary
Neil wasn't an idiot. He knew something was different about Andrew. The gifts, the attention, the surly attitude were all signals that something had changed. Andrew, the smug bastard, wasn't even trying to hide it. Neil laid in wait, ready to pounce, and was let down to discover that it was just Andrew's rut coming up. The first of their relationship. How will they handle it?

Summary
“I suppose it’s too hopeful of me to assume Andrew has come to his senses and decided he wants to practice,” is the first thing Kevin says as Andrew navigates back to the main road.
Neil turns in his seat and gives Kevin a pointed look. “We’re going downtown, actually. Andrew and I have an appointment.”
“Then why am I here?” Kevin demands.
“Emotional support,” Andrew deadpans, sucking his engagement ring pop into his mouth.
Andrew, tired of not being allowed into hospital rooms when Neil gets injured, comes up with a solution.

Summary
They found it in the locked room of a Royal Navy's vessel, The Fox waiting to take her crew and their new spoils across the deep blue.
It was beautiful. It was rarer than any diamond.
“A mermaid,” Dan laughed, taking a step back and sweeping her hat off her head to hold to her chest. “They were transporting a mermaid.”
It was going to make them rich.
( wherein the Foxes are pirates, Neil has gills, and no one quite trusts the magic. )

Summary
Neil is nothing and everything all at once, the entire universe for Andrew, however small of a universe that is. Even Aaron is starting to see it, though the pieces still don't line up.
And Andrew is trying to convince Aaron that he's never jealous? Yeah right. You don't spend your entire life being denied, being hurt, going through foster care with nothing to call your own only to be okay with someone else trying to take the one bright piece of life you call yours.
Or, Aaron is done with Andrew's shit and makes it his job to prove his brother wrong.

Summary
Jean asks for a favor. Neil finds himself at the center of a territorial squabble. It's him. He's the territory.
“But why me?”
“You are my only good option. Aaron is straight. Andrew is rabid. Allison and Seth are on and off so often it’s impossible to keep track. Dan and Matt are a couple and getting them both to agree to pretend to date me would be harder. Renee doesn’t like men. Katelyn is lovely but Aaron would be angry. I don’t know which of the others started or stopped dating over the summer. That leaves you."
“What about Kevin?”
Jean scoffs. “You cannot be serious.”
“He’s…” What is Kevin? Not any better at telling Riko ‘no’ than Jean is, and, subsequently, probably not great at lying to him. Also, is it really believable that Kevin would jeopardize the team and their athletic careers by shitting where he eats? Probably not. Kevin’s amended hierarchy of needs just has the word EXY at the base. Somewhere far above that are pedestrian concerns like ‘food’ and ‘water’ and ‘shelter.’
“Taller,” Neil finishes lamely. “He’s taller.”
