Summary
After he was released from witness protection Neil settled down in a big city, hoping he could fade into one of the many faces in the crowd. Neil had been living in the city for a little over five years. He hardly ventured out of his apartment except for his early morning run, grocery or supply run, to his store, and occasional trip to get a coffee from the cafe next to the antique store. It was a simple, somewhat lonely life, but that was not new for Neil. The years after his mother’s death passed in a painful grey blur, brought slightly into focus with his art, and his routine.
Or a story where Neil is lonely until he is not.

Summary
One year after he should have started at Palmetto, after he should have accepted Wymack’s offer and continued playing exy, Neil Josten instead finds himself working at a roadside gas station seventy miles outside Columbia. This Neil, never met Wymack or Kevin or Andrew after the dingos practice. This Neil never even made it to March in Millport, and now in the fall of 2007 he’s seriously starting to question how he’s going to live out the rest of his life.
When a certain blonde buying absurd amounts of candy begins to frequent the gas station, Neil wonders if he might have an answer to that question.
“You play?” The man nodded at the TV.
“No sir.” Neil would give anything for him to leave. He pushed the bag of drinks a little further across the counter, eyes flitting to the TV again.
“Ah, but you want to, huh? You look like you wanna climb inside that TV and join em.”
Neil blinked at the man, unable to form a proper answer. Did he really look so desperate?
“I don’t know.” It was a stupid answer, and it took him too long to get the words out, but it wasn’t like this conversation mattered much anyway. “I think I’m just not meant to.”

Summary
Neil Josten just barely survived his freshman year of college. A couple of months and a plethora of new scars later, it's a new school year, and all he wants to do is survive (i.e., go to class, skateboard at the local skate park, and work at his shitty part-time job). His friends have other plans. So does Andrew Minyard, the twin brother of his lab partner.

Summary
Andrew is a little too cuddly with his sex friend Neil. Probably because he's in love with him.

Summary
Neil was seven the first time he felt it. He was used to pain, accustomed to it by this stage, the feeling of a weight pushing him down and down, suffocating him, his arms and chest and head too heavy, his flesh and bones burning and ripping and scarring. Pain was something he knew all too well. But the pressure he felt deep in his gut and down in between his legs was something that he was too young to even understand, let alone comprehend feeling. And it hurt and ached in a way that he never did before, in a way that left him sobbing quietly into his pillow as his body shook from the pain, his heart aching in his chest equally as bad.
It was a strange feeling for him, pain being unusual, something he couldn’t understand. For Neil had known pain his whole life. But this, this was something else, something too harsh and deep and heavy, something he wished he would never feel again.
or
Neil and Andrew are soulmates, who can feel each others pain and reside in the back of each others minds, no matter how hard they wish that they didn't.
