Things that fucked me up in The Foxhole Court series (warning: spoilers):
Every single time Andrew did something just because Neil asked
“He pressed Andrew’s palm to the ugly scarring across Neil’s abdomen”
Dan’s
entire existence as the biggest boss in the galaxy
“You are a pipe dream.”
“I am not a pipe dream. I’m not going anywhere.”
Renee saving Jean
Renee doing literally anything
Wymack hating that Neil flinches away from him and doing everything he
can to prove he’s the good male role model Neil deserves???
RESPONSIBLE AND CARING ADULTS
“You hate me, remember?” “Every inch of you,” Andrew said. “That
doesn’t mean I wouldn’t blow you.” ANDREW LMAO
SHOWER BLOW JOB/CODDLING/ANDREW FINALLY LETTING GO ENOUGH TO LET NEIL
SEE HIM FEEL PLEASURE (partly because he can’t bear to leave Neil’s side to
take care of it alone FUCK)
“Yes or no?”
VIGOROUS CONSENT and Andreil knowing each other well enough to tell when
the other isn’t in a good enough place to consent even when they think they
are??
Neil calling Andrew a “drama queen” behind his back
Nicky getting the happiness he deserves in Erik
“Who’s humanizing who in that relationship, anyway?” NICKY OMFG
Andrew
needing to map every single scar/wound on Neil’s body and Neil letting him
Andrew
saying “I told you not to look at me like that” after Neil stares at him with
fucking giant anime heart eyes when the sunlight hits his hair
Matt
and his spikey hair (/everything)
Casual 3 hour bus chats where Andreil loses track of time smh
How fucking short Andreil is??? 5 foot **nothing*** is right
Neil
saying he wants a vacation and Andrew almost cutting Kevin’s dick off when he
tries to get in the way of it
BED SHARING IN THE CABIN ffs
Honestly that whole woodland retreat with team bonding took me the fuck out
“The
only one I’m interested in is you.” Demi!Neil is watering every crop in
my field??
“Thank you. You were amazing.” (aka me @ Nora Sakavic)
the maserati is soaring down the highway. the windows are down. the sky is black. charli xcx’s “boys” is blasting at full volume. people think nicky is the one to put the song on the radio. it’s andrew
So one of the most
underappreciated things I want to talk is this scene in King’s Men when they
were in a cabin and Renee woke them up because she needed a car:
So the first thing I’d
like to point out is that Andrew woke up to somebody at the door of his bedroom
with somebody already in his bed – and he did not flip out and did not hit
anyone. Now it’s possible that Andrew wasn’t in fact sleeping at all, because
he had been lying there watching Neil, thinking how did he get himself in such
a situation, debating if he was really allowed to keep this stray, and
wondering if the guy will disappear again if he so much as blinks. But I doubt
it. The text does say that the sound woke them both up, and even though Neil
sometimes is as observant as Harry Potter, I do believe that, because I like
thinking about Andrew feeling safe and comfortable sleeping with Neil at his
side.
Now, it’s been
mentioned a number of times that on the run Neil kept a gun under his pillow.
So when he heard a sound from the door, he reached for a gun – under his
pillow… and he found Andrew’s hand… under his pillow… Which means that Andrew
slept with his arm under Neil’s pillow. And if it’s not the cutest shit you’ve
ever heard of, then I don’t know what is!
I also think it’s quite
symbolic that Neil reached for something that will protect him and he did find
something that will protect him.
I also
think about what Andrew thought when he glanced at Neil and saw how scared he
was. He was probably walking to the door like “Imma fuck up whoever scared him
like that.” And thank god it was Renee or he would’ve decked them.
Adding to this: Neil HIT sleeping Andrew’s arm. Every other time Andrew was woken up by something hitting him (like the wallet Wymack threw at him), he fucking startled awake. This boy trusts Neil so much, my heart bleeds.
Also Neil woke up from FINGERNAILS on the door? Talk about PTSD.
The first time Andrew sees Neil, he walks right out of the door.
“No.”
His tone is final. Wilds doesn’t seem to register it.
“Andrew, please,” she says.
Her words are at odds with the grim determination on her face. Probably she’s trying to be polite. Andrew doesn’t have time for fake politeness. They want something from him, and he won’t deliver: they’re done, as far as he’s concerned.
“You didn’t hear me,” he says. “No.”
The man—the witch—is still behind him, slumped in the chair they dumped him in and barely conscious.
“You don’t have to touch him,” Renee says, sliding in between Andrew and Dan. “Your presence is enough.”
