    Summary

    Thing is, he needs to be kissed. He needs someone to touch him so that he knows he’s real. He needs to feel a hot weight in his bed, needs to know for sure it’s Neil. Maybe then, he’ll sleep. Maybe then—

    OR

    Andrew has gone pro, which means leaving Neil behind for his final year as Fox captain. After so many years of constant togetherness, Andrew isn't ready to face just how much being apart hurts. He's gotten used to it, to Neil being there, loving him even if he isn't totally loved back.

    Now, things are changing, and they'll both be forced to face poorly-suppressed ghosts from their mutual past. Thing is, Andrew isn't sure he's capable of all that. That won't stop the past from reasserting itself, though: nothing does.

    Summary

    The rumors started long before Jean agreed to join the Trojans. It was idle chatter around the Edgar Allan campus. A few online forum discussions. The odd remark from a reporter. Conspiracy theories thrown around the locker room before a team was set to face off against the Ravens and the object of their curiosity.

    Every single Raven daemon had been spotted at some point or another. All except one.

    The rumors became a living thing when Riko died.

    Reports came from the other athletes in Fox Tower, unanimous and clear: an unconscious Jean Moreau was seen carried out by security, bloody, with lacerations covering his arms and torso. Behind him medics rolled a covered cart large enough for a couch or fridge. Presumably carrying his daemon.

    The real leak came two days after. A security guard told someone who told someone who told the media that allegedly, Jean was found in the wrecked dorm of Kevin Day. Specifically found locked in the bathroom. One quote circulated like fire across news cites and gossip columns: “We had to tranquilize his daemon. She was trying to kill him.”

     
    Or, the daemon AU no one asked for except for me.

    Summary

    “You do not have to wear it.”

    Instead of responding, Jeremy turned the hoodie over in his hands and dug into the main body of it, forcing his arms through the sleeves. As a last-second thought, Jeremy reached behind him and grabbed the hood, pulling it over his head before tucking his arms into the large pocket at the front. When he was finished, he turned to Jean and stuck out an enthusiastic thumbs-up.

    Jean stared at him, mouth tugged down in a tight frown. “I said you didn’t have to.”

    “I heard you,” Jeremy reassured, tucking his hand back into the pocket. “I wanted to.”

    Or, Jean lends Jeremy his hoodie; Jeremy spirals from there.

    Summary

    “Yes,” Neil admitted, the truth stark, unavoidable, and horrifying in its quiet betrayal. “But I’d stay for you.”

    ---
    In the Nest, trust isn't given. It's forged in shared violence and proven in silence. Neil learns the cost of his defiance is paid on Jean's body. Jean learns that the only thing more dangerous than Riko is the feral boy he's tasked with keeping alive. They are not allies. They are a closed circuit of cause and effect. They are partners.
