could you write a little andreil angst? maybe about what would happen if (by some fluke or fixed thing) neil didn’t make court when he graduated?

badacts:

It’s worse because Neil isn’t expecting it. Instead of getting the call up he’s been hoping for – waiting for – he has an almost-apologetic Kevin calling him three days too late, saying you’re young. Next year.

Neil won’t give anyone the satisfaction of asking why, but he desperately wants to. He’s fresh out of the Foxes with a couple of NCAA championship titles under his belt, one of which he captained them to. His signing to the Hawks has him being called a rising star in the game, and they’re already winning. Not to mention that he’s playing better than he ever has.

He’s making all the right moves. It’s just apparently not enough to make Court.

The uncertainty of why and why not is more crushing than anything else, when it’s hard enough being in an unfamiliar city for the first time in years, alone.

And he feels alone. Unsettlingly, unbearably fucking alone.

here’s a prompt where instead of neil getting hurt in a game, it’s andrew

philosophium:

this turned into fluff????? mark this down on the calendar, guys, because I never turn angst into fluff at least not like this

Neil isn’t on the court when it happens, so he sees every second. It’s not the first time a team got it in their heads that the way to win the game was to sacrifice a striker in order to take down Andrew. But it’s the first time they’ve decided to sacrifice two strikers and a defensive dealer.

Andrew gets the ball out of the goal and then braces for the impact of the striker. If it had ended there, Andrew would have been fine, brick house that he is. But the other striker, in a blatant foul, rams into Andrew as well, and then the fucking defensive dealer piles on as well. Whistles blow and the buzzer goes off, calling the game to a halt as red cards are thrown and the referees make their way onto the field.

Neil is on his feet and running without remembering to tell his body to move. Wymack and the referees try to stop him, but Neil ducks and shoves past them. The other players are already on their feet, but Andrew is still on his back, racquet laying a foot from his extended hand.

Andrew knew they had to get up at some point, if only for
the bathroom, but was loathe to hurry the moment along. He would take every
greedy minute of Neil snug in his bed, for as long as he could. It was the
choice he’d made years before, and the one he made every day when he saw Neil’s
‘good morning’ smile. He had a feeling it was a choice he’d be making for many
years to come. And while that thought should be terrifying, with Neil sweet and
content in his arms, fear was far away.

whoop I did a very, very soft thing! @tycutiovevo I don’t know if I did your glorious art justice, way more cuddles happened than anticipated… that drewdle is pure gold though 😀

“Who’s the artist?” Nicky asked.

“Anonymous,” replied Aaron. There was something hard in his voice, and he was watching Andrew warily from the corner of his eye. Aaron knew, after all, that Andrew did not attract the kind of people who wrote sonnets and sent flowers. No, no, no. Andrew attracted the Drake Spears of the world.

“We’re leaving,” said Andrew. The words left his mouth cool and even, but they sounded very far away in his own ears.

For the @aftgbigbang and @psychosei ’s lovely fic good night, melpomene (come home, erato)

love’s a word we’ve only heard – 

simon/raphael

Simon didn’t tell his mom the actual plan. Of course not. He could only imagine how that would have went down.

“Hey Mom, tomorrow I’m gonna travel 70 years back in time in order to find an ancient spell book that could hold the key to stopping Valentine’s Shadowhunter army. Who’s Valentine you ask? Well-”

Get ready for some heavy-duty ASS KICKIN’ ROMANCE.

STtH! is 44,000 words of NON-STOP ACTION and GROSS EMOTIONS brought to you by the one and only DREAM TEAM: Scott McCall and Stiles Stilinski AKA Spider-Man and Deadpool. Join them as they fall in love and fuck shit up!

WARNING: may contain content not suitable for children under the age 17 including graphic depictions of violence, a scandalous amount of SMUT, and quite frankly, entirely too much adult language.

The summary, if you really need it:

Beacon City was supposed to be a pit stop, grab the info and get out sort of deal, but then Stiles meets Scott McCall and gets sidetracked. Scott makes Stiles forget that he’s a bloodthirsty mercenary with a vendetta, and it’s nice to have something normal, for a change.

Everything gets more complicated when a certain webslinger puts his spandex-clad butt between Stiles and mission completion. It doesn’t matter that it’s a nice butt, Stiles doesn’t need it hanging around and telling him not to kill things.

Scott McCall and Spider-Man? Not as mutually exclusive as Stiles anticipated.
