Summary
Kevin is shaking hard enough for his left hand to ache as he mindlessly tries to reattach the strings on Neil’s racquet. He knows it’s futile – that it is broken, and that Neil will never pick it up again.
Or: A VERY twisted version of Baltimore

Summary
“Have you considered the possibility that Neil has chosen you, but believes you have not chosen him?” Renee says. "Have you ever explicitly told him what you want?”
“Neil knows what I want,” Andrew snaps. This is not Andrew’s fault.
“How do you know?”
Because Neil always knows. He is as fluent in Andrew’s micro-expressions as he is in German and French. He knows which head tilts mean “go on” and which ones mean “shut up.” Without ever asking, he learned what it meant to see Andrew wearing double layers of long sleeves, or taking multiple showers in a day, and learned to hand Andrew the car keys.
That has always been the most terrifying thing about Neil — his patience to wait, watch, listen, learn. The prospect that if Neil were given enough time, there would be no part of Andrew that was just Andrew’s anymore.
“He has to know,” Andrew says.
“Does he?” Renee says. “Have you ever known Neil to assume that he is wanted?”
Five times Neil tells someone that he and Andrew aren’t dating, and one time Andrew uses his words to set the record straight.

Summary
The main story is going to be about Neil and Andrew, 10 years after the end of the series, fostering and then adopting two kids; that story is currently 140k and still going. I'll start posting it once I'm sure I'm done making changes to the first few chapters. Until then, here's some backstory.
