    Summary

    "Hey," Neil says, keeping his voice low. Andrew's only sign of listening to him is the way his fingers unclench from the bedsheets, the slightest, tiniest amount. It's enough for Neil to think that maybe, hopefully, it's not only Dobson that can get through to him right now. "I'll be right here. I'll see you in a bit."

    Summary

    There is a man with empty eye sockets and tears of fire in Wei Wuxian’s dreams. Tendrils of smoke curl around him in sleep, pressing at his most vulnerable spots, seeking entrance, slipping between his ribs.

    When he ignores Lan Zhan's offers of help, he declines rapidly. He will die. Or, he should. Anyone else would.

    Instead, he flees. And transforms.

    Summary

    Kevin didn’t look up when Neil neared, simply said: “I can’t answer your questions, Neil.”

    “What,” Neil said, a bit breathlessly and endlessly curious, “are you so afraid of?”

    And something about Kevin - flickered. Something in his shoulders and in his head as it hung, just for a moment, in defeat. He looked impossibly tired, exhausted in a way that had nothing to do with sleep and everything to do with the burdens they both ignored were there.

    “Monsters are real, Neil.”

     

    “I know.”

    Summary

    He saw the duffel.
    It was battered all to hell and the strap was nearly torn from the bag, but it still glowed almost neon in the darkening night and streetlamp glare. Neil would never…
    He dropped to his knees beside it and rifled through it, looking for any sign, any clue as to where Neil might have run. Nothing, nothing, nothing. Until his fingers found the keyring. Until he found the phone.

    Andrew's perspective on the Binghamton riot and the walking tragedy that is Neil Josten.
