AU where everything is the same except Andrew has been flirting with Neil from the very beginning but Neil kept misinterpreting it for threats, whereas Andrew kept thinking that Neil was flirting back and not realizing that he’s one wrong move away from getting stabbed in his sleep. this miscommunication isn’t realized until after they hook up for the first time
Neil: does this mean you don’t want to kill me anymore?
Andrew: what do you mean?
Neil: you’ve been threatening to take me out for months
Andrew: I was talking about dinner??? what the fuck???
Neil: wait, no… you also said that you were going to blow my brains out!
Andrew: Neil. Rabbit. Junkie. I did just blow your brains out. I was down there not five minutes ago, remember?
Neil: I don’t believe this. what about that time I took the cigarette out of your mouth to take a drag and you said that if we weren’t in such a public area you’d make me scream?
Andrew: Neil you are so stupid
Neil: fuck. what about that time you said that if I kept running my mouth you’d find a way to keep me nice and quiet?
Andrew: Neil, you are so stupid
Neil: ohhhh shit. yeah, no, I hear it now. wait, does this mean you’ve liked me all this time?
Andrew: does this mean you were willing to sleep with me even despite thinking I wanted to murder you???
Neil: hey. we all have our issues
Andrew: WHY DID YOU KEEP GOING TO SECLUDED LOCATIONS WITH ME?! you have the worst fucking survival instincts, I swear to fucking god you’re going to give me a stroke one of these days. damn is this how Wymack feels all the time? I should send him a gift card to the cheesecake factory or something

relationship between kevin and thea only existed to establish and distance andreil from kevin. it’s so unnecessary it’s just there, but it BRINGS NOTHING to the plot. like i see why nora put kevin in a relationship and yeah it might’ve worked if it wasn’t SO FUCKING AUWFUL. i hate kevin/thea with my whole heart and just want my boy kevin to be happy and with someone fucking else.

Neil making coffee after his morning run and bringing it to Kevin who is still in bed
Sleepy morning cuddles. Kevin as the little spoon
Kevin looking so infatuated after Neil scores an impossible goal
Inspired by Lex' tweet (https://twitter.com/exy_shmexy/status/1675057500482154498): Neil lovingly calling Kevin "Morgenmuffel" and Kevin getting frustrated trying to figure out what it means (despite the obvious context) and none of the Monsters are willing to tell him ("Morgenmuffel" literally is someone who's grumpy and not in the best mood after waking up; someone who generally doesn't like waking up early)
I have a headcanon that after several years of living together, Neil is looking for Andrew's hugs when he has nightmares, and Andrew doesn't mind at all when he has a good day (and he has a lot more good days than bad ones now) 🧡
merman Neil finds a lot of people’s jewellery and always gives them his merman Andrew.
Andrew is always resentful but still wears these jewellery because a) it’s Neil’s gift b) Neil gave this c) it’s none of your fucking business
and he puts on himself these countless necklaces and beads, puts on rings and some strange bracelets. and he absolutely everything changes. one day Andrew wears gaudy yellow beads made of artificial shells with rings with black stones. then he will put on emerald choker and beaded rings. However, there’s a bracelet which Andrew will never remove. smooth pebbles hanging on green algae. they are not as smooth as they were then Neil found them but Andrew doesn’t care. It is unique bracelet. Andrew will put it on until his death. and even after he won’t do it.
Drunk James: and then they…
Drunk Sirius, but not as drunk as James: wait, you wanna say that my godson fucks with my nephew
James:
James: they’ve kissed right in front of me *cries*
Sirius:
Sirius: I always knew that all of Black practice incest

I see some people saying gender non-conformity doesn't exist because gender doesn't exist.
I disagree. Gender does exist. Gender is a social system that exists, like money on a bank account exists and has very real implications, even though it's just numbers on a screen.
We live in a patriarchal society and gender is a tool patriarchy uses to uphold itself. It's a set of social expectations and ways of moving through the world that accumulates power to males. Deviation from this norm is punished as deviations are a threat to the patriarchy.
I find people who claim gender non-conformity doesn't exist to lack feminist consciousness.
We're all women, yeah. We have a lot in common. Being GNC doesn't make a woman to become non-woman.
GNC is a term that describes the position a person has in relation to her social environment. There are gendered expectations and it has tangible consequences if one doesn't conform into those expectations. We need to be able to talk about that.
Raven!Neil Au where Andrew and Neil meet for the first time at a banquet.
They sit across from each other and Neil smart-mouth Josten can’t help but go off at Kevin, still angry about being abandoned by him.
To his surprise it’s Andrew who answers him. It’s a bit of a match. Cutting remark after cutting remark, but…. it’s unexpectedly fun.
Both Ravens and Foxes watched in shock as Neil and Andrew somehow moved from insults to genuine conversation.
They lean closer to each other, no longer raising voices. Neil practically showed everything on the table to the side so he can lean almost half of his body across the table just so he and Andrew can talk freely.
Everybody moves subtly closer just to overhear even a snippet of what they are talking…
… they plan an apocalypse plan. Arguing about cons and pros of bunkering in the supermarket.
And they look like they’re having fun… or as much as they would let themselves show any kind of enjoyment in the environment they are in.
They lean close, talking in hushed voices… looking almost like they are flirting.
Or rather they are flirting, thinks NIcky, watching as his usually emotionless cousin lean closer to the redhead rolling his eyes with a shadow of a sarcastic smile on his lips, and he promptly shoves his entire fist into his mouth to muffle a squeal.
I just love to think that it infuriated Riko, that he isn’t the center of attention in the 100%. Riko trying to stop their conversion, to butt it, interrupt, only to be ushered by Neil or Andrew everytime.
Neil remembering how in Ferdinand’s show Andrew played with Riko by pretending to not remember his name and doing the same thing, looking straight into Andrew eyes, ignoring his captain having a furious meltdown at his side.
Andrew watches it all with his eyes burning into Neil.
(All of the foxes and Ravens stimulatingly wondering how the heck the most meddling one from their team suddenly found the most meddling one from the opposing team. What kind of cosmic justice is this?)
In the end Neil just takes a napkin and doodles something quickly on, His eyes smile with a fire that could only promise a disaster (Andrew knows better not to let himself get burned, and yet…) and before Riko has enough and pulls all the Ravens away, he slides it towards Andrew.
All the foxes are gapping.
Did… Did that Raven just propositioned Andrew? Like in the middle of a banquet??? did he just casually give him his number??? What is going on???
Andrew refuses to feed their curiosity in any way.
But when they are safe in the bus, Kevin drunk into oblivion, rest of the foxes bored with his silence…
He lets himself unwind the napkin.
There is a letter inside. Neatly folded multiple times so it doesn’t even look like it was hidden inside the napkin until Andrew could feel it in his hands.
Letter describing how Kevin is the son of Wymack.
And a little note on the napkin….
“Have fun with it.”
And Andrew can’t help but feel his interest stir inside him.
