Summary
The deal was simple: Andrew protects, Aaron stays. But deals break. Trauma evolves. And when the silence between them finally shatters, they have to decide if they are just two people bound by a contract, or two brothers bound by blood.
This isn't a story about forgiveness. It’s about reconstruction. Tracking the twins from the hostility of their joint sessions through the wreckage of the trial and all the way to graduation, this explores the messy reality of two brothers learning to stand on the same side of the line.

Summary
According to the team, Andrew is currently losing a custody battle for Neil against a sport invented by the mafia.
It’s a running joke in the locker room: Neil cares about Exy, and then, distant second, he cares about breathing. Andrew is somewhere on the list, probably below the new backliner spread Kevin found.
Andrew doesn't bother correcting them. He knows the difference between a distraction and a destination. He knows Neil runs until his lungs burn to keep the ghosts quiet, but he also knows exactly whose bed Neil crawls into when the adrenaline fades.
(Or: 5 times the team thought Neil loved the sport more than the goalkeeper, and one time Neil made the hierarchy terrifyingly clear.)

Summary
"Brother-in-law?" Patel piped up from the sofa. "Wait. You have a twin. And a brother-in-law? How many people are in this house? Is there a chart? I feel like I need a flowchart."
Aaron brings his residents home for Christmas Eve dinner. Nicky brings the energy. Neil brings a butterfly knife. Andrew brings... Andrew. A story about mentorship, survival instincts, and the horrifying realization that Dr. Minyard is actually the normal one.

Summary
Everyone assumes Dr. Aaron Minyard is the nightmare attending. He’s cold, he’s efficient, and he has a reputation for shredding surgical egos during rounds. Naturally, the administration dumps the "problem residents" on him: a girl from the South Side who fights back, a legacy kid terrified of failure, and a genius who’s stopped trying.
Aaron intends to teach them Neurocritical Care. He doesn't intend to defend them from bullies, fix their protein deficiencies, or introduce them to his wife (the nicest pediatrician in Chicago).
Unfortunately for Aaron, he has a bad habit of adopting strays.

Summary
"You didn't run," Neil murmured, almost to himself.
Katelyn looked at him. Her eyes were wet, fear finally leaking through the cracks in her composure. "You stepped in front of a knife."
"I had to."
"You didn't have to," she said. Her voice broke. "You really didn't."
"He was aiming for you."
"I know." She wiped her face with her free hand, smearing a streak of blood across her cheek. "I know, Neil."
Neil Josten has always treated Katelyn like background noise. She's a liability attached to Aaron Minyard that needs to be managed. But when a ghost from Baltimore interrupts his morning run, Neil realizes that his calculations were wrong.
Or: The one where Neil gets stabbed (again), Katelyn proves she’s more than just a cheerleader, and the Foxhole gets slightly bigger.

Summary
Four years of medical school, top percentile USMLE scores, and impeccable clinical rotations. None of it matters when the background check comes back flagged.
When the State Medical Board views his history as a liability rather than a defense, Aaron is left with no matches for residency. Neil thinks it’s a logistics problem that can be fixed with a phone call to the Moriyamas. Andrew thinks it’s a money problem that can be fixed with a wire transfer.
Aaron knows it’s the cost of being the only one trying to survive the right way.

In which Blue Sargent and Henry Cheng accidentally become private investigators, Gansey tries to pretend he’s not an accessory to their schemes, and Chainsaw develops an agenda.

Summary
Aaron doesn’t show up after the game. When Andrew finds him sitting on a curb, covered in someone else’s blood, he learns the reason: a teenage overdose, a failed attempt at saving him, and a weight Aaron hasn’t figured out how to put down.
It’s not the first patient Aaron’s lost. But it’s the first one who looked like him.

Aaron doesn't like Neil. Neil doesn't like doctors. But apparently, they can both live with each other.
(Or: five times Neil needed medical attention and only trusted Aaron to deal with it, and one time Aaron showed up first)
