    Summary

    Neil liked to think that in life we followed certain rules.

    Birth and death. Without a start there couldn't be an end, and vice versa. Those two couldn't exist without one another? Right?

    Then he died, woke up and would likely have to die again. Kept waking up from the same spot, same day.
    Only thing changing was the cause of his demise. The when, where and how he died varied fully on Neil and his choices.

    He was undoubtedly stuck in a freaking time loop of all things and he had no clue how to undo it, how to escape from this hell that was the Baltimore weekend.

    Summary

    Neil woke up as himself for the first time somewhere in San Francisco with hastily done stitches in his wrists and the knowledge it was now his job to keep them alive and moving. He was little more than one alter in a system of twenty-five shadowed by lies, dead-ends, and a bloody end that they all knew was drawing closer by the day, and in one single evening, all their mom’s hard work of keeping them alive was ruined. But Neil had to keep going. It was his job to keep them moving.

    ~*~*~

    Another All for the Game rewrite but in which everything is the same except Neil has DID, so really nothing is quite the same.

    Being a mafia boss means thinking on your feet.

    Like when the bartender you just flirted with walks into the middle of an execution.
