andrew frequently wakes up in the middle of the night and tenses at the feeling of skin against his own, but he instantly relaxes when he feels the ridges and bumps of neil’s scars and callouses, completely at odds with the slick, groping hands of his foster siblings. the remnants of neil’s trauma help andrew cope with his own

ok ok but the upperclassmen planning a team bonding night and someone pulls out a puzzle. while they’re building it, neil casually mentions that he’s been there before. after that, it becomes the foxes’ goal to find as many puzzles of obscure places neil’s been as possible. they hide the picture so that neil can’t see it ahead of time, and build until either a) he recognizes it and gives them a random piece of info about that place or b) says he hasn’t been there, but still somehow always has an obscure fact to share about the place
young nathaniel so small and scared when he has to run away in the middle of the night, even though he’s leaving his monster behind. young abram confused and wanting to go back and play exy with the first almost-friends he ever made, but instead running forever and never able to slow down. young no-name boy answering to many, learning new backstories for every new city and wishing his life was anything like the people he pretended to be, anything other than his reality. young neil hurt and grieving and all alone in the world, no one but himself to protect him, looking over his shoulder for living nightmares and roaming monsters that want to hurt the boy who only ever wanted to play exy.

one of the many reasons that i love andreil is that they don’t fall into typical relationship... stereotypes? idk but like there’s not the soft one and the scary one, because they’re both TERRIFYING. i love that their relationship is so out of the ordinary and that they honestly don’t care what others think. i love that they feel so comfortable around each other and never feel pressured to do things just to make the other happy. they draw strength from one another and of course they do want the other to be happy, but they also know that their own boundaries are important and need to be respected. their relationship is built on so much unwavering trust and understanding and i love them

ramble to me about skam france s3 au and witchcraft andreil. plot, what made you want to write them, if there’s a part you’re especially excited to write,, just anything
Thank you for the ask! I'm majorly excited about both of these so here you go!
Skam France S3 Au
This au came about from me and one of my best friends just absolutely losing our shit over the piano scene (found here) and then going oh my god make it Andreil. It just kinda spiraled and it was my first multi-chaptered WIP! I need to rewrite quite a few scenes as most of it is done (there's about 2 chapters left) but I had yet to edit it or really add in the Andreil aspects for most of the early chapters. So it's hopefully close to done? Idk but I would really like it to be the first chaptered fic I post. The piano scene has been written and I still love it very much so I'm excited for everyone to be able to read it! There isn't much plot to explain cause it's kinda just the plot of the season with some changes to fit Andreil in. Oh also, if you want to watch it you can watch the season separate from the first two!
Witchcraft Andreil
Another fic that me and a friend came up with! Unfortunately they are no longer active but I still want to finish it and maybe see if they'll reappear. It's all based on this one textpost that basically goes "disgruntled goth that keeps answering the door like "no I'm not the witch, he lives over there" and pointing across the street to a dazzling pretty boy waving enthusiastically" but make Andrew a plant witch and Neil a necromancer who specializes in pets. So Andrew is just trying to run his little plant shop and help grandma's with their dying gardens and people keep showing up with their dead/dying animals and like what is he supposed to do?? What do you say in that situation? So he just silently points to the obnoxious Necromancer here! sign across the street and resigns himself to the fact that no one cares to read when their pet is dying.
That is until it's Andrew's pet that is dying, as in one of his very loyal pet crows being rushed into the shop in the hands of one redheaded necromancer. Apparently, his cat has an affinity for hunting birds, but he promises he can fix it. And he does, and all is well, so Andrew returns to his plants and his pointing. Until the cat starts to appear in his shop. There's a twist in there somewhere that I obviously will not reveal so I'll just promise to finish it eventually.
i just think that if i go one more day without meeting the foxes i’ll cry
