Summary
“If I went to Evermore for break, Riko would pull Proust. I told him I’d go, but I’d need proof of him holding up his end of the deal. When I got to Evermore, Proust was dealt with.”
Andrew felt his world tilt on its axis. He tried to parse through his days at Easthaven to determine when Proust was replaced by the new doctor and realized it happened a few weeks into his stay - before the Foxes began break. Meaning Neil was telling the truth. But he couldn’t be. He couldn’t have gone through whatever happened in the Nest for Andrew. People didn’t shield Andrew from tragedy; they used him to protect themselves.
Like he could hear the battle in Andrew’s head, Neil murmured, “You always have our backs – I needed to watch yours.”
*****
Instead of Neil picking Andrew up from Easthaven, Andrew is there when Wymack returns from the airport with Neil and has to deal with the consequences of someone giving their all to protect him.AU where Riko keeps his word and Proust is pulled before things go too far.

Summary
When the press publishes an article about Andrew’s affair with a female teammate, Nicky’s the one to call him in the middle of the night to yell at him to fix the blasphemy. The only reason Andrew, exy pro player, single, at all entertains him, is because if there’s one thing he likes more than nothing, it’s a good opportunity to screw with the press.
A disastrous first blind date and a few phone-calls later, Andrew finds himself falling headfirst into a relationship — you know, the fake kind. For his image.
But his marvelous plan seems to fall apart at the seams when he meets the disorientingly familiar rookie on one of the rival teams, who seems to be doing his absolute best to avoid him.
Business Proposal AU.

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.
