Summary
Neil is gone, vanished, disappeared. Taken. Andrew knew it couldn't last forever, because nothing good ever can, but if he knew, why is he falling apart?
****
Andrew after Neil is kidnapped in TKM, based on the song (you guessed it) I Know Him So Well from Chess. Alternating between Andrew's internal monologue then, and scenes from earlier in the series. -

Summary
This is a soulmate AU in which when your soulmate says something memorable, the words appear printed on your wrist. It's canon compliant, apart from the soulmate part, and skips around in time some. This is like...90% Andrew Minyard's internal monologue.

Set out looking for Bencutio fic after reading R&J for the first time and this fulfilled and surpassed my hopes. Everyone read it.

Summary
“Have you considered the possibility that Neil has chosen you, but believes you have not chosen him?” Renee says. "Have you ever explicitly told him what you want?”
“Neil knows what I want,” Andrew snaps. This is not Andrew’s fault.
“How do you know?”
Because Neil always knows. He is as fluent in Andrew’s micro-expressions as he is in German and French. He knows which head tilts mean “go on” and which ones mean “shut up.” Without ever asking, he learned what it meant to see Andrew wearing double layers of long sleeves, or taking multiple showers in a day, and learned to hand Andrew the car keys.
That has always been the most terrifying thing about Neil — his patience to wait, watch, listen, learn. The prospect that if Neil were given enough time, there would be no part of Andrew that was just Andrew’s anymore.
“He has to know,” Andrew says.
“Does he?” Renee says. “Have you ever known Neil to assume that he is wanted?”
Five times Neil tells someone that he and Andrew aren’t dating, and one time Andrew uses his words to set the record straight.

There are no words for how good this is. This is all canon to me now.

*inhales* AAAAA- And I mean that in the best way possible. Slowest of slow burns, wonderful OCs, excellent banter -- not to mention that this author INVENTED Jeaneil.

Summary
"You paid for the deluxe package," Neil says as he scrolls through his payment history to find his client's invoice. His system is simple:
Basic Package: Fuck you. A general statement of displeasure and a brief description of the wrongdoing.
Intermediate Package: Fuck you, with passion. Everything in the basic package, but with additional insults. Customizable for an extra fee.
Deluxe Package: Fuck you to hell. Everything from the first two packages, for an extended period of time, and with extra viciousness.
And it looks like Andrew Minyard is the unlucky soul today.

Summary
Allison curses, wiping snow off her steadily-dampening sleeve. Over the phone, Renee tinkles a laugh.
"Are you all right?"
"Yeah," Allison says. "Hey, Renee? Thanks." I miss you, she means. I wish you were here.
"Of course."
(Or: snowflakes are falling, the rooftops of NYC are filled with light, and Allison walks the streets but still can't seem to move on.)

Allison FREAKING Reynolds, man. And at her finest. Also the Foxes make "you know I get it" jokes, as they should.
