Warnings: Discussions of death, mentions of self-harm, mentions of sexual assault, none of which are graphic.
Summary:
A fact: Andrew is biding his time until death.
He counts the hours left in a day, the minutes left in an hour, the seconds between sunrise and sunset. The world keeps turning, and with it, he wakes up, he eats, he smokes, he plays a sport he doesn’t care about, he guards his things, he keeps his promises, he breathes. Each intake of breath ticks off the time he has left – the space between him and death.
But against his will, his clock begins to run on a different schedule.
(or: Andrew versus life and Dr. Dobson, an act in eight parts)
@reneewalkerx for the @aftgexchange St Valentine’s day edition o/
You can blame the French community inside the AFTG fandom for this: long ago, we talked about this crack soulmate AU where people have drawings representing their soulmate/nemesis on their arms… but… but
Neil has knifes but such bad drawn knifes he s been thinking they’re a pine tree and a cake slice for his entire life and Andrew has yes and please for the angst (hi @kitshunette )
Bonus based on @aozorasoann ‘s idea: Neil: “I think you’re the pine tree because I went to Evermore for Christmas for you”
Thank you for giving me the occasion to draw this extremely old crack with the soulmate AU prompt
Nothing but My Aching Soul
