When Wymack, Kevin and Andrew came to recruit Neil Josten in Millport, Neil decided to say 'no' instead of 'yes' to joining the Foxes and does what he does best, which is run. Unfortunately, that brings him to the attention of the Moriyamas, who return him to his 'rightful' place. Now Neil has to learn how to survive at the Nest with his only ally another 'asset' long kept under Riko's heel.

“He’s joining us earlier than we anticipated.” “He’s a flight risk. This way there should be no more risk of him getting away from you. I’ve killed his mother. He belongs to you.” “Six years old and already training in the Raven’s nest. He will be a player that won’t be rivaled.” Nathaniel lives a hard life in the ravens nest, choosing Jean and Kevin's safety and happiness over his own constantly. Like the martyr he is. Then one day he is given a chance. It's a fools bet, and Nathaniel is unlikely to win it. But he has one season to take the Foxes to championships and win. If he doesn't, well.. he doesn't like the other options. So he makes his own. Win or die.

The Pros were never in the cards. Not for an ex-medicated alleged psychotic with a dysfunctional family and an Exy career he’d rather not have. But even if it wasn't his first choice, no matter what happens, it can’t possibly be worse than that one fucked up sophomore year when he stood toe to toe with the Yakuza-and won. At least, that’s what Andrew thinks until a familiar face shows up. Another Raven!Neil AU. Or, the one where the boys don’t meet until the Pros. **Updates every other Wednesday, whatever hell may come.**

Neil Josten goes to the Nest for Andrew, but he stays for a lot more. ~ "I'm sorry Coach," he muttered. "For what kid?" Wymack shifted. "You've got to give me something to work with here." Wymack watched the thin traces of sorrow as paper exchanged hands and he was looking down at a contract with the Edgar Allan Raven's. "I signed them Coach, I'm sorry." ~ The one where Neil doesn't come back from Winter Break.

Raven!Neil fic, where he escapes not long after Kevin and brings himself and Jean to play for the foxes while having to live with the consequences of the deal that he made to keep them all safe. PLEASE READ THE TAGS!! no main character death- but this fic is pretty brutal so if you are sensitive about most things, please for your own well-being, be careful!

In an effort to force Kevin back to the Nest, Riko leaves a battered Neil on the doorstep in Columbia. But Neil won't go along with Riko's plans, even if he doesn't trust the Foxes. He'll do anything to get Jean out of the Nest, and he might even find a team of his own in the meantime.

AU where Neil is caught and sent to Evermore before he and his mother board their first flight. With a little luck, and a lot of attitude, Neil successfully flips young Riko's worldview. They become friends and brothers, along with Kevin and Jean. After a terrible accident, the four escape Evermore with help from an unlikely friendship Neil kindled with Ichirou Moriyama. With the Lord's blessing, they depart for South Carolina to join the Palmetto State Foxes.

AU: Neil's mom ran without him, he was sold off to the Moriyamas soon after, growing up with Kevin and Riko. It'll all be explained in the prologue. It starts with Neil leaving the Nest after Kevin and Jean ran and going to the Foxes, trying to work out everything from transferring teams to transferring from Backliner to Striker while trying to solve issues he has with Kevin because of everything they went through.Neil learns what "family" means and that sometimes people are worth fightin for.

[COMPLETED WORK] “Who even are you?” Neil blinked at him with those perfect, blue eyes. Andrew became very aware of Neil’s weight at that moment and dropped him. Neil bounced back on the bed and yelped. “I’m the guy who is going to go take a shower and you’re the guy who is going to wait patiently for Kevin to come tend to your needs,” Andrew said. He gestured down to Neil’s blanket covered body. “Whatever this is, is above my pay grade.” [AFTG Crime AU that takes place in Baltimore where the Foxes and Raven's are opposing gangs. Neil escapes the Nest and falls for Andrew, but Riko will do anything to get him back. Kevin and Aaron tumble headlong into a secret relationship and Jeremy Knox fixes a very broken Jean Moreau.]

Nathaniel smiled at nobody. “I knew you cared about me.” “Don’t kid yourself.” “You do. You don’t have to admit it, I already know.” ** Four years have passed since Andrew has seen Abram. Four years since Nathaniel stopped being Abram. There's pieces at play neither of them know about, but Andrew has never been one for patience; he's done waiting for Abram, and Neil is done fighting him. OR The one where Neil is Nathaniel, Kevin has a spine, Abram is still a loud mouthed freshman, and Andrew met him in California.**Russian translation available with this link: https://ficbook.net/readfic/12020758**next update: 08/01/2023 :)**check out my tumblr for teasers on upcoming chapters and feel free to send art/messages! @storiesbycory

Nathaniel Wesninski is seven-years-old when he's brought to Castle Evermore to train with Riko Moriyama and Kevin Day as a business exchange by his father, Nathan Wesninski, the Butcher of Baltimore. He's eleven-years-old when Jean Moreau joins them, creating the Perfect Court. He's twelve-years-old when he makes his first deal, selling himself to the Main Branch in return for Jean and Kevin's safety in The Nest. Constantly saving others in exchange for himself--his body, mind, and freedom--so they can get out unharmed, a true martyr that Nathaniel Wesninski is. Andrew Minyard is nineteen-years-old and a freshman at Palmetto State University when he first meets the seventeen-year-old boy with icy blue eyes and auburn curls that fell in his eyes at the fall banquet. Hell's floodgates can all but collapse with all that comes after but [almost] everyone would agree that they would change nothing.
