Summary
Andrew glanced at the board and found his name at one of the pods of two rather than four (thank god), right next to the windows. Next to his name was ‘Neil Josten’, one Andrew didn’t recognize, but he had to be at least a sophomore to be in this class. Turning to find the right seats, Andrew found himself pausing as he walked, seeing the person he’d be sitting next to for the foreseeable future if Mr. Browning had his way.
And shit, this was either a good thing or a bad thing, because Andrew is very, very gay, and Neil was good looking enough to become a distraction very quickly.

Or, the Heartstopper AU nobody asked for but that I absolutely needed to write.

Summary
“You know,” Nathaniel points out, “You’re the only one who ever looked at me like that.”
Andrew flicks him a glance, putting a cigarette between his lips, “Like what, idiot?”
“Like I’m a human being and not a property. Like I’m someone worth saving.”
His fate may have spoken, but Nathaniel never passed up an opportunity to talk back.

“You can only put him back together and hope for it to heal. That is all we can do.” Jean said, meeting Abby’s tearful eyes.Abby nodded, picking up her own thread and following Jean’s lead.
Andrew dragged a chair from the corner of the room up to where Abram’s head was resting and tried not to watch. He didn’t succeed, but he could at least say he tried. As they threaded stitch after stitch through Abram’s skin, Andrew sat with his hands folded in his lap and followed Jean’s advice to breathe. Then, he began to plan.
