    Summary

    Prompt: "AU where Neil is the Avatar who was born as a firebender."

    “Feel this?” Andrew digs two fingers into the dip of Neil’s neck, tapping his pulse-point in time with the roar of Neil’s blood. “I can. I can feel every tremor that passes through the earth. I can feel your every footstep, your every flinch, every tap of your rabbity little heart. I know when I’m being snuck up on, and I know when I’m being lied to. You would be wise to avoid both from here onwards.” The rhythm of Andrew’s tapping speeds up to match pace with Neil’s quickening pulse as Andrew’s words rip the ground from beneath him. Andrew’s lips twitch cruelly at the sight of Neil’s expression. He leans in, shifting his hand to wrap it around Neil’s throat. “Want to hear my theory?” Andrew’s gaze is intent, the pressure of his hand light, but twitching with underlying threat. “You’re a firebender.”

    Summary

    “You’ll probably never meet them,” his mother said one day at a diner in Texas. It caught him off guard.

    “What?”

    “You’ll probably never meet them,” she repeated, nodding in the direction of the lilac bruise splashed across his forearm. “Your soulmate. You’ll most likely never live that long.”

    “I know,” he said, and hoped that she believed him.

    --

    In which bruises and scars from your soulmate appear on your skin, and both Neil and Andrew paint each other like a canvas.

    Summary

    For Andrew college is a means to an end. There is no real need to try too hard or get too attached to his daily activities but Renee meets with him once a week for lunch, Kevin shows up and bothers him whenever he has a chance, his cryptid roommate leaves him strange post-it notes, and a red-headed bartender, with a thing for street art, may or may not be flirting. Andrew wanted nothing until he decides that he kind of wanted something.

    Or the College AU where Andrew is studying journalism, Kevin is an academia nerd, the foxes are constantly drunk, and Andrew's roommate is a cryptid.

    Summary

    He realizes that everyone feels exactly the same way he does, filthy and buzzed and understood and angry. His eyes find Andrew again, sober but animated like the drums are a live wire and he’s electric.

    He thinks, if he could be part of this, if he could stand in the middle of the stage in a garden full of monsters, and sing the audience’s veins open, he would never need another drink, or another moment on court.

    Prompt: Andreil in a rock band setting – tattoos, harsh lighting, calloused fingers, Andrew’s sweaty arms, Neil’s striking blue eyes, someone’s excellent voice, an uncomfortable undercurrent of drug abuse.
