    Summary

    Jean asks for a favor. Neil finds himself at the center of a territorial squabble. It's him. He's the territory.

    “But why me?”

    “You are my only good option. Aaron is straight. Andrew is rabid. Allison and Seth are on and off so often it’s impossible to keep track. Dan and Matt are a couple and getting them both to agree to pretend to date me would be harder. Renee doesn’t like men. Katelyn is lovely but Aaron would be angry. I don’t know which of the others started or stopped dating over the summer. That leaves you."

    “What about Kevin?”

    Jean scoffs. “You cannot be serious.”

    “He’s…” What is Kevin? Not any better at telling Riko ‘no’ than Jean is, and, subsequently, probably not great at lying to him. Also, is it really believable that Kevin would jeopardize the team and their athletic careers by shitting where he eats? Probably not. Kevin’s amended hierarchy of needs just has the word EXY at the base. Somewhere far above that are pedestrian concerns like ‘food’ and ‘water’ and ‘shelter.’

    “Taller,” Neil finishes lamely. “He’s taller.”

    Summary

    “I think he’ll come to you,” she concludes. “Each person experiences attraction and sexuality in a unique way. It is possible there’s a kind of fear there, something foreign and unfamiliar to him.”

    Andrew mulls this over in his head. He thinks of Neil’s lingering gazes, of the recent reappearance of that warm blush on the tops of his cheeks. He considers, also, the inherent vulnerability of allowing oneself to be desired, and the shamelessness of desiring another. It’d make sense that Neil, both rabbit and fox, immense in his attempts to make himself minuscule, would be wary of something so terrifying.

     

    Alternatively: On Neil Josten’s apprehension regarding his own attraction to Andrew Minyard, told by Andrew’s increasingly flustered and consistently perplexed point of view.

    Summary

    “Shit,” Neil gasps as Andrew kisses against his collarbone, licks a stripe up the side of his neck, before pressing one last kiss against his mouth. “Well, this is already very different from my past experiences.”

    Neil is nearly breathless. Andrew mentally pats himself on the back. Take that, Brandon.

    “So, he kissed you,” Andrew says. He means to sound authoritative, self-sure, but it’s lost somewhere in the rawness of his throat. “What else.”

    *

    Neil going on dates isn’t necessarily a new occurrence anymore, but Neil kissing Andrew is.

    Summary

    “Will you be able to play?” Dan asks, voice layered with concern.

    Neil blinks, confused. “Why wouldn’t I be able to play?”

    “What our fearless leader means is—will you be able to focus on the game instead of Andrew’s mouth and impressive biceps,” Allison clarifies, saddling up next to Neil with a knowing look.

    “I—” Neil starts.

    “I mean I get it,” Allison continues. “He has really nice biceps.”

    Neil lets a rival goalie take a body shot off him at a bar. Things devolve from there.

    Summary

    It doesn't make sense. Neil was fine. More than fine. He’s safe at home with Andrew, and this should be the best possible ending to one of Neil’s best days, but when Neil squeezes his eyes shut, all he can see is —

    Riko grinning with vicious pleasure as he slices Neil open. Riko’s eyes reflecting the glow of the lighter licking Neil’s skin. Riko laughing as a tattoo gun needle digs into Neil’s cheek.

    Riko, Riko, Riko, smothering and impossible to escape. Panic knifes through Neil as he yanks uselessly against the handcuffs. No, no, no —

    And then he’s saying it aloud, “No, no, no,” because there isn't a gag cutting into the sides of his mouth. Because Neil isn’t at Evermore. He’s at home with Andrew, who’s right there when Neil opens his eyes — only near the foot of the bed now, not touching Neil at all.

    Neil has long gotten used to reading the faint shades of emotion that pass for expressions on Andrew’s face. But never, not even in Andrew's medicated, manically expressive days, has Neil seen Andrew wear anything like his current look of horrified shock.

    Neil agrees to try the handcuffs in bed. It goes badly. Cue angst and h/c.

    Summary

    Neil blinks and turns his head in time to see Andrew's briefs get flung to the dorm room floor, joining the pile of discarded clothes and armbands strewn about in a clear line from the door to the bed, the crumpled forms telling the frenzied tale of their return to the empty dorm — and their clear intent on taking advantage of it.

    Summary

    She could be so small, he marveled. She was a cat, sleek and windy. A mouse, whiskers perfect and round ears quivering. A moth, fragile and dusty. A caterpillar, wriggly and colorful. She almost disappears.

    “Alex,” his mother chided, her voice low and hand tight around his upper arm, but if she wasn't looking at him it would've taken him a moment to know who she meant. She was scared, she’s terrified, her pupils are dots, even though they were just in the second last row of a near-empty greyhound bus. “Stop playing. Are you listening to me?”

    In his hand, Marie turned into a pill bug and curled up tight. He closed his hand around her, making her disappear.

    Summary

    KF: An international trail of bodies. Millions of dollars. A sealed court case.

    KF: This grisly tale is not for the fainthearted.

    KF: Join me, Kathy Ferdinand, on my first foray into true crime podcasting. And what better case to start with than that of the Butcher of Baltimore?
    ___

    When Nathaniel Wesninski is the subject of a tell-all true crime podcast, the world latches onto the story.

    Unbeknownst to everyone, Nathaniel is alive and well and living as Neil Josten. His main priority is protecting the fragile peace he's built for himself– Kevin and Jean both have a lot to lose, and Neil isn't about to be the reason their lives are ruined.

    Meanwhile, Andrew Minyard is about to be alone for the first time in years: his brother's leaving for med school and Nicky's in Germany. He has no intention of starting a relationship– at least, until he meets Neil Josten at his old coach's birthday party.

    It's immediately evident that both of them have secrets. And, when the clues start falling into place, each becomes more fascinated with solving the mystery of the other.

    Summary

    "Andrew was driving back to his apartment, taking one of the less salubrious routes simply because he could. Down a backstreet full of cramped bars and neon lights, past a string of shuttered shops and a 24/7 laundromat – it was dangerous down this way, well-known for the number of men who’d been murdered after working its corners. Young men. Beautiful men. Junkie men. Men who could be hired by the half-hour for a couple twenties. When they turned up dead, the police called it an overdose and ignored the bruises and broken teeth."

    Seven years have past since the Bearcats game where Neil Josten disappeared. Seven years since Andrew Minyard last saw him. Seven years since the last candle was blown out and Andrew realised he was never meant to have nice things. And then one cold, bitter night in New York changes everything.

    Summary

    “Christ, Kevin, would you just calm down?” she said, exasperated. “I mean, God, do you have a crush on him or something?”

    She did not expect Kevin to stare back at her, again, as if she were an idiot.

    “What?” she demanded.

    Kevin visibly hesitated. “They didn’t tell you?” he asked dubiously.

    “Tell me what? That you’re a bloody psycho?”

    Kevin stared at her some more. He flicked his gaze over her shoulder, to where she knew Andrew and Neil still were. When he looked at her again, a flush had begun to crawl up his neck. He cleared his throat. His lips parted on words that would not come.

    She stared back at him. “Oh my god, have you actually got a crush on Andrew?”
