here’s my @aftgexchange fic for @foxyroxisworld :) i had so much fun with this piece, and i hope you enjoy it <3
Summary:
Andrew Minyard couldn’t remember a time when he didn’t have flower tattoos adorning his skin. The sloping curves and sharp edges were dark and striking, and he thought that they might be nice to look at if they didn’t make his stomach drop. His foster families always averted their eyes at the sight, pity etched into their faces. Every time a new tattoo crept across his body, Andrew wanted to tear it off. He didn’t want them to appear in the first place.
He hated knowing that somewhere, he had a soulmate that was being hurt, and he couldn’t do anything about it. He hated that his skin was permanently stained with ink that he had never asked for. He hated flowers.

you said i could send more asks (and i just thought of this so) what do you think of the extra content? ive seen a lot of mixed views but everyone mostly disregards it so i was just wondering what parts you liked and what parts you didnt
sorry for two asks in a row but xfjrsfbjgrukgv i’m curious
yeah, seriously send them whenever! they always make me happy :)
as a general rule, i accept the things that are set pre-canon and most canon-timeline stuff (why andrew’s afraid of heights, that kevin noticed andreil first, renee’s past, etc). the stuff that i don’t love (mostly post-canon), i tend to view as headcanons rather than stuff that would happen in the canon universe. like the no renison, no jerejean, twinyards growing apart - i don’t vibe with those, but i respect that other people might
some of the post-canon stuff that i do like is the cats, robin, how andreil navigates intimacy (besides the no hugging), and andrew sleeping w his back to the wall, among others. i also don’t actually mind the no marriage thing for them, and i’m passive about the no “i love you”s
idk! i’m pretty indifferent about most of it. i was just excited to have more content from the author! i pick and choose what i want to consider canon, and i just disregard the rest :)
Truth is irrefutable and untainted by bias. Sunrise, Abram, death, queer kids googling 'am i gay quiz': these are truths
i love that andreil didn’t try to hide their (“not-”)relationship from anyone, they just didn’t bother telling people. they didn’t try to deny their attraction or the fact that they’d been hooking up, and they didn’t panic when they were outed. their reaction was basically “yeah, and?”, and they they just went on with their lives and nothing changed. they’re so perfect for each other and it’s so pure and i can go on about this forever but
do you think neil josten likes garlic bread
neil violently disliked his mother for half his life, but she was still his entire world. and like... no wonder he didn’t know how to navigate friendship and kindness when he showed up at the foxhole court. the foxes showed neil how to thrive where mary taught him to survive. and even though they’re a fractured mess most of the time, they’re exactly what neil needed to become whole. to become a real person for once. to finally be able to stand his ground and have something worth fighting for
“are we? friends?” crushes my heart EVERY TIME, like - neil had never had a friend in his life. there’s no way he got close to anyone in little leagues or on the run. the person he was closest to regularly beat him - and he saw no problem w that.
neil had no idea what constituted a friend, but then there was nicky, with his smiles and friendliness and exuberance, there were people that he actually cared about and that cared about him, and he didn’t know what to call it, didn’t know how to deal with it, didn’t know it was even possible for him to have friends, like normal people do, like people without butchers for fathers do.
the little stray finally found a home, and he would tear the world apart for his makeshift family of friends.
aftg but every time the foxes travel anywhere, Medicated Andrew™ sings “the wheels on the bus” nonstop until he passes out
my guy matt is such a speedy driver that andrew didn’t even catch up to him on the way to the mountains like... oh my ajm, driving with matt would be a mix of wholesome, chaotic, and absolutely terrifying
i picture renee talking w a customer service voice 99% of the time to stay sweet so that she doesn’t rip someone’s throat out
