    Summary

    Then Abram was gone. They were all gone. The house inside was dark. No doors opened. No windows glowed.
    The boy stood in Millport, Arizona with a fake name and nowhere to run.
    The boy became Neil.

    For years, Neil and Abram were intertwined. When Mary dies, that changes.
    Neil finds a home among the Foxes and the walls in his mind begin to crumble bit by bit. Because Neil isn't just Neil.

    Summary

    Neil turned to look out the window, letting the smoke burn through his lungs longer than he should’ve. It hurt; it made him feel real again. He let it out slowly, afraid time might slip away with the exhale, and he’d become this smoke dissipating into the wind once more.

    If it were a year ago, he would write this off as his memory being odd. It always had been. Conversations he was present for slipped away, and more than just possessions got lost between the cities they stayed in. If this were a year ago, he’d write the missing hours away because he’d been jumbled and upset, and his mind didn’t always hit the record button for the bad stuff. But he wasn’t just surviving for himself anymore.

    --

    No longer on the run, some inconsistencies Neil had long written off start to effect his daily life. Or, another DID!Neil fic.

    Summary

    The first time Neil dies is devastating. The second time is just as bad. The third time has them wondering if there’s a way out of this loop that doesn’t end with Neil dead.

    Night, after night, after night. Baltimore isn't something that just happens once.

    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.
