up for interpretation: an #aftg Aaron & Neil fic

archiveofourown.org/works/42152037
up for interpretation RainbowObsidian Summary: "What are you doing here?" Aaron asked, eyes narrowed. He was expecting Esther, or Elsbeth, or someone. The blonde one. Neil ignored him. "Je m'appelle Neil," he continued. "Neil's a translator-" "—Un interprète." Potato-potato.

AO3 The Dry Cleaner RainbowObsidian Summary: While they eat, everyone takes turns telling their weirdest experience of the week and at the end, Judge Andrew considers all evidence before announcing the verdict. This tradition of the Foxhole Court has been a fixture for a few years now and it's one of Andrew's favourite things. It used to be that he participated in the shenanigans too but he saw weird shit all of the time and no one wanted gory details at the dinner table. OR Found family, chaotic good neil, apple pies, and a strategic rainstorm.

• Pilgrim RainbowObsidian Summary: The cicadas are already deafening when Andrew rolls over and discovers Neil is not in bed. Most other days this wouldn't be surprising, but these days aren't preceded with a night like last night anymore. * Neil runs away.

Minyard-Josten Rivalry RainbowObsidian Summary: It started innocently enough. Neil made a snarky comment after Andrew blocked a goal, Andrew told him to get fucked, Neil grabbed the grill of his helmet and said I'm planning on it. Andrew felt the thrill of discovery when he realised there were cameras pointed right at them from behind the plexy-glass and the inbuilt mics would have picked up every word they said... That night the DailyRacquet posted a photo of them nose-to-grill with the header: TEAM MATES TO RIVALS - WHAT HAPPENED AFTER PSU?

Remember how Maggie casually dropped ‘lying on the floor beside Adam’s bed at St Agnes’? Remember how Ronan could tolerate going back to the Barns because the light was different to That Day™? Ever dreamt about Ronan in Adam’s coca-cola tshirt? #trc #trcfanfic

• Transformed by the Changing Light RainbowObsidian Summary: "It was a cold, dark morning when my father die—" his voice cracked, interrupting the word, and he heaved a ragged breath then amended, "—was murdered." Adam looked at Ronan and away again, giving him space to continue. Ronan was grateful. "It felt like time spiralled backwards and I was seeing it all again, but I was awake, man. It was outside of my nightmares." "It wasn't real," Adam said pragmatically, but not unkindly. "It felt real," Ronan countered, "which is nearly the same thing."

“Will’s own experience with men didn’t compass anything…longer than about half an hour, or repeated encounters with anyone since Alfie Greenaway, with whom he’d had a week of stolen moments in Flanders, before a sniper’s bullet had stolen Alfie.”

Kevin tells Wymack who his father is…

archiveofourown.org/works/583866...
AO3 screenshot text: Summary: "Kevin's going to out his father." "Wait, you know who he is?" Nicky asked Kevin, startled. "I found out," Kevin said, an edge in his words. "My mother wrote the master when she found out she was pregnant. I took the letter from his house and hid it at the stadium a few years ago." "So who is it?" Dan asked. "I'll contact him before I tell anyone else," Kevin said. "He deserves a forewarning." - The King's Men, chapter 14.

10. Andrew finds Neil in the library.

archiveofourown.org/works/583866...
QSummary: He looked first for anything about his stint in Evermore, found nothing, and moved on to researching the other teams who qualified for spring championships. It was an easy way to stop thinking and waste a couple hours. He didn't remember putting his head down and definitely didn't remember falling asleep. -The King's Men, Chapter 2.

9. Andrew gets picked up from Easthaven.

archiveofourown.org/works/583866...
Summary: Neil might have asked what Easthaven was sending him home with, except his gaze finally caught on Andrew's face and he forgot his words. Andrew's expression was blank and his stare empty enough to put a knot in Neil's gut. Andrew lingered just long enough to see who'd come for him and turned away. The King's Men, chapter 1.

8. Dan has an epiphany.

archiveofourown.org/works/583866...
Summary: "We had to face our teammates as a united force," Renee said, motioning from herself to Dan and Allison. "It was the only way to survive. Our friendship was a show that started and stopped at our bedroom door. It took most of the year for us to realize it wasn't an act anymore." "I didn't figure it out until summer break," Dan said, "when I was talking to the girls about the season." - The Raven King, Chapter 7.

7. Kevin enjoys dancing… until he doesn’t.

6. Jean dyes Neil’s hair before Neil leaves The Nest.

archiveofourown.org/works/583866...
He only dimly remembered Jean's hands working dye through his hair. He thought it was one of the last things they'd done to him, but he couldn't remember if Riko's uncle Tetsuji had been present for it. "Riko said he'd hurt us if I change it back. All I can do is duck my head and hope for the best." - The King’s Men, Chapter 1.

4. Against his better judgement, Jean calls Betsy.

archiveofourown.org/works/583866...
Jeremy was glad the coaches had forced him into therapy, even if Jean had picked a long-distance psychiatrist, but there was no quick fix for what Jean was dealing with. -The Sunshine Court, chapter 12.
