Feat. the twinyards breaking each other’s hearts, and a decent amount of shade on the American justice system.

Summary
An AU where Mary never got Nathaniel out. Instead, he became too invaluable of an asset to be killed off or 'gifted' to Tetsuji. Instead, he's raised with Ichirou and Jean as a part of Ichirou's inner circle.
He'd always had a knack for languages and lying and all the 'messy stuff' came easily enough when your father is called the Butcher of Baltimore. So Nathaniel became the Wraith. He was untraceable, unknowable, infalliable; a criminal fairytale.
When Kevin Day leaves the Nest, there's no better person to send.
~
"Who the hell are you?" Andrew demanded.
He wasn't anyone, not really; not anymore. He hadn't really been anyone in years now. There'd been a time. Once. But there were entire lifetimes between who he could have been and what he'd become. He could taste it sometimes; blackberries and sand stinging his tongue like the iron branded on his shoulder.
It was easier to pretend he'd never been anyone at all.
"I'm nothing," he answered. The ghost of a smile pulled at his lips; sharp and cruel. "A wraith." The Wraith, he didn't say, but the shadows ran through Andrew's eyes and he wondered if Andrew had heard it anyways.

Summary
Mary Keyleigh Wesninski, formerly known as Mary Keyleigh Day, had another son before marrying Nathan Wesninski. But when she took Nathaniel and ran away, Kevin stayed in the Nest with no hopes of ever seeing his brother again.
Neil Josten is taking a huge risk by joining the Foxes team. He wants to play Exy and he desperately wants to be close to his brother again, but under no circumstances can he let Kevin recognize him.
But Kevin is not the only person who knew him back when he was Nathaniel Wesninski and the risk he took by letting Riko see him again might be far greater than he thought.

Summary
He needs this, now. Needs to give this to Neil, because out of everyone and anyone, out of all these people that touch Neil and get close to Neil and make him laugh that deep and hard laugh, Andrew is the only one who can do this.
(Andrew is jealous. Neil proves he has no reason to be.)
