Summary
Online, Neil is Abram, writing fanfic about a queer couple on the hit sci-fi show Slingshot Odyssey and sending endless messages to his one fandom friend, an artist named Drew. But in South Carolina, he’s an antisocial college student tired of the endless slog of people overly invested in who he used to be.
It doesn’t help that Neil’s Observational Astronomy lab partner, Andrew, says all the right things to get under his skin, but Neil can’t stop himself from answering Andrew’s questions or from having his own.
With nights that go from talking on the roof Andrew with just the stars and each other as company, to sending freshly written fics to Drew, maybe it’s time for Neil to boldly go where no man has gone before and embrace these feelings that feel as miraculous as the formation of the universe itself.
aka andrew and neil are sci-fi nerds and they find each other twice :)

Summary
"I'm Neil. I don't know if you remember me. You met me a year ago when I was Alex. We spent the night talking and trading truths. And then we slept together."
Andrew blinked exactly once. "I remember."
"Yes." Neil took a deep breath. "I know that doesn't explain why I'm here. There's another thing. I kind of... Had your kid."
Or, pro exy star Andrew Minyard has a one night stand with a no name runaway that has unexpected results.

Summary
It's senior year.
Andrew has a car that doesn't run and a secret (boyfriend?) with secrets of his own.
Neil and his brothers are just safe enough that Neil can maybe, for the first time, have something he really wants.
Why talk about it, though, when you can make out instead?

Summary
“Nicky, what the fuck! Why are you drenched? Did you seriously walk here?!” Aaron shouted from next to Nicky, still holding the door open and letting the rain in like a dumbass.
“Surprise!” Nicky exclaimed with a deranged hinch in his voice as he dropped the ruined jacket onto the floor and lifted something small and wet above him.
The thing yowled pitifully at them.
--
In which Nicky finds a stray, feral kitten and brings it home, while Neil finds a family and a reason to stay.

Summary
“I’d be bored to death if you died,” he says. His voice doesn't betray him. He was almost sure it would.
Neil actually laughs a little, though it sounds a little weak with the damaged throat. “No, you wouldn't. I'd haunt you to make sure.”

Summary
Andrew isn't a renowed author. Sure, he has his fans here and there, a few hardcore readers, but he's not famous or internationally known.
So, when he stumbles across his own book in a place where it absolutely shouldn't be and in a language it absolutely wasn't translated to, he makes it his personal mission to find the person behind it.

Summary
Neil sees Kevin Day everyday at the train station, but Kevin Day never recognizes Neil.
When Kevin finally does notice Neil, he also immediately falls on the train tracks and succumbs to a coma of indeterminate length.
Then all of Kevin’s friends and family assume Neil is dating Kevin, and Neil doesn’t know how to tell them he hasn’t spoken to Kevin—or anybody at all, really—for almost seven years.
So Neil lets the Foxes think he’s dating Kevin. Just for a little while. Just until Kevin wakes up.

Summary
“Do tell him that we have enjoyed watching his team’s success in the American league, perhaps if he had joined Day’s team, he would have won the championship.”
The translator’s lips twitched at the comment. “Petra wants you to know how much they have enjoyed watching your team’s success in the American leagues.”
Andrew waits for the rest of the comment to follow. The translator seems set on editing, unfortunately. “Are they paying you well to play diplomat?”
The comment is out before he can stop it. It seems to take the translator by surprise and his mouth twitches into a barely contained grin.
“A certain amount of discretion is expected to keep international relations happy, yes.”
Andrew is intrigued by his honesty. “Tell them that Day would pitch a fit if he knew they found time to watch another countries Exy team. If you have time to watch than you have time to practice, after all.”
He translates perfectly with a smirk at being called out. Andrew watches him closely. If asked, he would say that this man posed a threat. In reality, he enjoyed the way he hadn’t backed down when being caught out.
“Why am I here if you speak the language?” The translator asks in English.

Andrew absolutely should not be interested in Kevin's protege.
For one thing, he's too young.

Summary
“I bet the monster will come alone again this year,” he says, his voice scratchy like the sound of a blender in the early hours of the morning.
Aaron stiffens beside his brother, shoulders creeping up to his ears before he opens his eyes. He turns to Seth with a sneer. In seconds, Aaron had gone from asleep to fully awake, an anger simmering under the surface of his skin, water boiling over.
“I’ll take that bet,” Aaron says, face a blank slate, anger cooling behind his eyes. If this were still college, Aaron would’ve let anger take over, let fists fly. With age, Aaron had learned that there are crueler things than violence.
“Five hundred bucks,” Seth replies, eyes sparkling in amusement. He’s got the face of someone who thinks they’ve won.
“A thousand,” Aaron counters. Andrew’s eyebrow twitches up imperceptibly, a feeling like a laugh bubbling up his throat.

Summary
Nicky asks, “are you…I mean, what’s happening, Andrew? Are you okay? Because Kevin and Neil were just-”
“I know,” Andrew cuts him off. The flat, bored intonation of his voice makes it inexplicably funnier when he adds, “I have unfortunately saddled myself with two idiots who cannot keep it in their pants for more than five minutes at a time”
“Well,” Kevin huffs, indignant. “You don’t usually have any complaints”

Summary
The smile splitting Neil’s face in two is a soft thing, gentle and wonderful and the most genuine the expression has ever felt settled into his mouth. “I think you like putting up with me”
“Shut up”
“Make me,” Neil tells him.
“Marry me,” Andrew replies.

Summary
There’s very little Andrew likes less than being tricked, but not knowing things does make the cut. He stands, throws his messenger bag over his shoulder, grabs his coffee, and stomps over to slide into the chair across from the guy. He looks up at Andrew with a flash of calculated flight or fight in his eyes, but he quickly smooths this over and affixes a look of polite interest on his face. “Can I help you?”
“Are you on Grindr?” Andrew asks. Bluntly.
“Uh,” the guy says, looking more confused. “I don’t know. What is it?”
“It’s a hookup app gay men use.”
“Oh,” he says, frowning. “No, I’m definitely not on that.”
“Because you don’t do gay men?”
The guy shrugs. “Because I don’t do hookups.”

Summary
The subject of Katelyn and Neil hasn't felt like dangerous territory in a long time, but Aaron feels the bomb countdown already coming to an end before Bee even opens her mouth.
"Well, the two of them are so alike," Bee goes on, oblivious to the tension leaking into the space. Her smile is pleasant, teasing. "It just goes to show how you and Andrew have similar tastes despite being so different."
The world freezes on its axis.
Andrew inhales a little too loudly the same time Aaron chokes on his spit. "W-What?"
