I have no excuse for this one. I woke up from a fever dream with this prompt in my notes app. I think Neil just really reminds me of a scruffy scavenger animal you'd find in a trashcan. Anyway bonus panel:
Matt Boyd, the bestie that you are

JEAN AND NEIL. JEANEIL.
MISPLACED FOREVER PARTNERS
UNFULFILLED PROMISE
WATER AND FIRE
THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE PARTNERS
Jeremy, who is the captain of one of the big three exy teams.
Jeremy, who is like a ray of sunshine in a rather dark world.
Jeremy, who never cusses.
Jeremy, who is slowly learning more about Jean and the Nest.
Jeremy, who prefers to stay with friends than family.
Jeremy, whose world no one knows about.
Jeremy, who is the avoidant narrator that he is.
Jeremy, who may be darker than we all realize.
Jeremy, who despites the fact that he holds something dark still tries to be the source of sunshine in people’s day.
Jeremy, who tries, makes mistakes, and still pushes on.
Oh Jeremy, I need to know more about you. I don’t think you’re okay but I know you’re trying.
i knowww wymack was DYINGGGG to get jeremy to the foxes after the scandal. i know he called rhemann like heyyy☺️☺️☺️ tell me about the freshman
scenes that we know happen but that i would give a lung to have written out by nora sakavic (or scenes i'd like to see from other povs)
andrew choking kevin after neil gets kidnapped from andrew's pov (i just NEED to know the fear and anger andrew must've felt in that moment. and kevin "you were always going to lose him" day like isn't that just so crazy)
aaron's trial from neil's pov (i would honestly love any pov of this but i feel like neil as someone who isn't very involved in the situation would provide the most insightful pov and GOD I'M FOAMING AT THE MOUTH the THINGS i would do to have a whole book about neil's sophomore year GODDDD)
the garter scene after nicky's wedding from andrew's pov (late-twenties neil is SO unserious i just know it)
nicky's wedding from literally anyone's pov (it would be just like. pure joy tbh.)
dan + matt's wedding from dan/matt's pov (again. see above.)
katelyn + aaron's wedding from aaron/neil's pov (i say neil pov bc i would LOVE to see how aaron and neil's relationship fares after they get over their beef. and i know neil would be happy for aaron and kate. and yeah obv aaron pov because again, see above.)
neil convincing andrew to go to aaron and kate's wedding from andrew/neil's pov (idk it could either be really sad or really funny)
kevin's phone call to jean in tfc from jean's pov (i NEED to know exactly the emotions jean was feeling when he saw kevin's name on his phone and heard his voice again)
the scene where andrew handcuffs neil after stuart dies from andrew's pov (this is genuinely one of my roman empires. the way nora wrote about this in the ec is genuinely embedded in the folds of my brain. neil kissing words into andrew's jaw. the sick gleam in his eyes that makes him look like nathaniel. i LIVE for andreil angst actually.)
andrew punching his pro team coach after he makes neil play injured from neil/andrew's pov (another roman empire. post-tkm andreil my SHAYLAS)
the angsty kevneil conversation in trk from kevin's pov (i'm just. so curious on kevin's perception of neil tbh.)
the robin cross arc from andrew/neil/robin's pov (i LOVE robin cross she's acc my favourite part of aftg lore. i would DIE to see her dynamic w andrew and neil. robin and neil friendship you are so loved by me)
neil buying his car w robin + i forgot who else was there from neil's pov (random but i just KNOW it would be funny)
the US court winning gold at the olympics from kevin/neil/andrew's pov (ugh the serotonin RUSH and the post-match andreil hug they have me in such a chokehold)
when allison and kevin find out that allison's son has a crush on kevin's daughter from kevin/allison's pov (HELLOOOO THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE AFTG EC CRUMBS IT'S SO FUNNY)
neil hanging out with amalia from neil/amalia's pov (TELL ME they wouldn't have the funniest dynamic)
wymack picking neil up from the airport after evermore from wymack's pov (idk it would be so fun to see how absolutely blindsided everyone is by neil's fucked-up lore)
practically any andreil scene in the series from andrew's pov (foaming at the mouth chewing on drywall clawing at the bars of my enclosure for it)
ok i know i said every andreil scene but this HAS to be included separately: THE BALTIMORE REUNION FROM ANDREW'S POV (oh this would make me crazy)
tetsuji and kayleigh in their university days from either pov (like this is just crazy. that they were like. good friends. they literally made a world famous sport together tf.)
nathan wesninski's trial (the one where neil has to testify) from neil/andrew's pov (the complexity of it all)
andrew yelling at bee after she wakes up in the hospital from andrew/neil's pov (it would be fun. i think.)
the birthday blood scene from andrew's pov (like i know nora's already said what andrew was thinking in that scene but like i reread it recently and it was actually crazy how PISSED neil was idk i would just love to see andrew's reaction to neil being THAT mad)
fall banquet riko roast from literally anyone else's pov (i just know i'd reread that shit religiously)
kathy ferdinand riko roast also from literally anyone else's pov (imagine watching neil "quiet boy" josten absolutely CLOCKING riko moriyama's shit on LIVE TV)
the twins' session with betsy from andrew's pov (after reading aaron's pov it just made me so much more curious to get inside andrew's head in that scene bc that was just crazy tbh)
the foxes' skiing trip from neil's pov (neil pov just bc he's the one i'm most used to. but yeah i NEED this)
looks to the left... looks to the right... fem!andreil anyone?
