    Summary

    "No one has ever cared about Neil as much as she did – maybe Mary, in her twisted way."

    "Andrew looked her right in the eyes, something he didn’t really do before. And there, after the weight of his hard stare, Eve saw a reflection of her own feelings. Anger, worry, fear. Fear. For Neil’s life."

    or

    When Mary runs away with Neil, she brings her secret daughter along.

    Summary

    Kevin Day's world has been flipped upside down, mostly for the better. Yet, this meant so many changes and new feelings that he felt like his world was falling apart instead. He was now navigating this new father-son relationship with Coach Wyamck, he no longer had to fear of Edgar Allen or the Moriyamas, and the Foxes just won the championship. Regardless, the pressure of next season had begun breathing down his neck, so his solution was to do what he does best and invest all his time into Exy. He seems to think training his new recruit, Julianna, will be the perfect way to do that.

    Julianna Knight's first love was racing, and she'd only played Exy for fun. Two years ago, her family moved to Columbia, South Carolina, as a result of her involvement and experience with a series of traumatic and tragic events. After coming to terms with the fact that her racing career is over and a lot of self reflection and healing, all she wants to do is graduate high school, while enjoying her last season of Exy, and go have a regular college experience. But, the foxes, more specifically Kevin Day, have different plans for her.

    Summary

    Shortly after Jean Moreau vacates the Nest, Riko opts to fill in the gaps of his withering Perfect Court. No one is happy about this, least of all El Parks, the chosen dealer to be given the number five.

    OR: I wanted to explore the Nest falling apart from a ‘normal’ Raven perspective, but because she’s my Special Special girl I gave her a number just so she could be more traumatized about it.

    (title courtesy of my friend, to whom I sent my horribly self-indulgent OC-centric aftg snippet with the warning, ‘if you say anything that makes me flesh this out into a full-novel draft I blame you,’ who promptly said “wait give me more of this universe.” So, atnates, consider yourself blamed)

    Summary

    It starts with an almost illegibly-scrawled message on the back of a cheap photographic reproduction of Falmouth Beach, and a single line that, like everything else in Andrew Minyard's life, he will never forget.

    Or: five times that Andrew gets postcards from Neil and one time that he doesn’t, set against the backdrop of six different beaches.

    Summary

    It’s not fair. It’s all Neil can think, childish and foolish and true. It’s not fair. It’s not fair. It never has been. The tickets weigh as much as a coffin lid, as the lie that is Neil Josten. Kevin’s hand is still on top of his and his fingers tremble. Neil stares. It’s his left hand, a solid reminder of the bastion of cruelty these tickets are going to lead him to.
    “I’m sorry.” Kevin whispers.
    Neil barks a bitter laugh that ravages his throat and tucks the tickets into his pocket. “Yeah, me too.”

    Or:
    Nathaniel Wesninski dies in a basement in Baltimore. Neil Josten wakes up on the bleachers in Millport. One of them still has to get Jean out of the Nest.
