Oh love, I'm sorry if I smothered you by Ateiluj

Summary
Before he can tune them out as background noise, he hears his name.
"...definitely toxic. I mean, Andrew drives him everywhere, drags him out of parties early, doesn't let him talk to anyone else... I overheard Aaron telling Kate that Andrew picks Neil's clothes out for him, that's controlling as shit."
"Yeah, more like emotionally abusive. I don't get why the others don't do anything about it, though, like, if there was even a chance Neil would listen to me I'd be trying to rescue that poor boy."
"He probably doesn't even realize he needs rescuing, though, right? Like, that's how abusive relationships work. Besides, you know what his life's been like, with parents like his he might not know what a healthy relationship even looks like. And the others are probably too scared of Andrew to intervene."
Or, Andrew overhears an unfortunate conversation and spirals.

Summary
Andrew has survived the sexual landscape of college solely through the usage of his rules: No repeat hookups. No touching without asking. No feelings. No cuddling. No sleepovers.
It's a simple set of rules, easy enough to abide by that Andrew has had no trouble sleeping around, and in his two years at Palmetto, Andrew has never once broken them.
Of course, until Neil Josten.- Language:

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
“Take your time,” Andrew says wryly. His hand slips onto the slope of Neil's waist, settling at his hip where he hooks a finger in Neil's belt loop. “We've only got all day.”
Alternatively: a study on sweat and denial.

Sometimes, things happen first and anxiety follows. Other times, anxiety happens first and your brain tries to fill in the blanks of your memory. On bad days, it all happens at once.
Neil has a bad day and struggles with his sense of self.

Summary
Neil swallows back blood. “Andrew.”
“Abram,” Andrew returns.
“I’m losing my mind. I think I’m losing my mind.”
“You aren’t,” Andrew says, so easy, so certain. “You’re tired. You’re scared. That’s it.”
Neil grits his teeth. “I’m,” he exhales shakily. “I’m – seeing things,” he admits.
—
In which Andrew gets into a car accident one week into the off-season, and everything is fine right up until he starts dying every night in Neil’s dreams. Things get worse, and then they get better.
—
Or, how trauma and triggers persist even after decades of safety, and how Andrew and Neil navigate them and take care of each other throughout it all.

Summary
“Shit,” Neil gasps as Andrew kisses against his collarbone, licks a stripe up the side of his neck, before pressing one last kiss against his mouth. “Well, this is already very different from my past experiences.”
Neil is nearly breathless. Andrew mentally pats himself on the back. Take that, Brandon.
“So, he kissed you,” Andrew says. He means to sound authoritative, self-sure, but it’s lost somewhere in the rawness of his throat. “What else.”

Neil going on dates isn’t necessarily a new occurrence anymore, but Neil kissing Andrew is.

Summary
There’s very little Andrew likes less than being tricked, but not knowing things does make the cut. He stands, throws his messenger bag over his shoulder, grabs his coffee, and stomps over to slide into the chair across from the guy. He looks up at Andrew with a flash of calculated flight or fight in his eyes, but he quickly smooths this over and affixes a look of polite interest on his face. “Can I help you?”
“Are you on Grindr?” Andrew asks. Bluntly.
“Uh,” the guy says, looking more confused. “I don’t know. What is it?”
“It’s a hookup app gay men use.”
“Oh,” he says, frowning. “No, I’m definitely not on that.”
“Because you don’t do gay men?”
The guy shrugs. “Because I don’t do hookups.”

Summary
The MSBY Black Jackals were vacationing on an island when lockdown measures were put in place due to a pandemic. While the rest of their teammates managed to get on the last flight back to Japan, Kiyoomi and Atsumu didn't make it.
To be stuck in close quarters with your enemy-slash-teammate in a foreign country for an indefinite period of time...it shouldn’t be too bad, right?
(Or: Due to an unfortunate series of events, Kiyoomi and Atsumu get stuck on an island together. For seven months.)

Summary
What Sakusa says is this:
"I told Kuroo-san I would do it, but I thought you should hear it from me." What Atsumu says, in all his infinite eloquence and quick-tongued wit is:
"Wuh?" Sakusa sneers.
"Congratulations, Miya, until the end of Terushima-san's party, we're officially dating."
or: Atsumu needs a fake date. Sakusa needs a fake boyfriend. What could possibly go wrong?
