spookyandreil:

based on this idea that i had where andrew and neil are youtubers and are essentially dan and phil. disclaimer: this is very loosely based on dan and phil and while i did borrow ideas from their interactions/videos it is not all based on them and i’m not meaning to imply anything about them or any possible relationship, just writing my spin on things. the way people theorize about them dating reminded me of andreil fics with their rivalry in the media so i made this

  • first things first: neil is neilisnotonfire and andrew is amazingandrew simply because of the way it sounds and not at all to do with the content or personalities in respect to dan and phil
  • neil does mostly storytimes because he has ~a lot~ of stories and andrew plays video games and occasionally records fights with renee etc
  • they have a side reaction channel that they share where they react to various exy plays and the like but just rip apart everyone
  • it’s considered an honor among exy players and just everyone in general if neil and/or andrew actually compliment you or even just make no comment at all because they are that blunt
  • neil is obvs more into it but andrew is HARSH and has a better time filming the videos than he would like to admit
  • everyone knows that they’ve been living together forever and that they played college exy together which is how the met but the internet is divided on whether or not they are together(they totally are)
  • they dont come out because they love screwing with people
  • even on their regular channels there are constant collabs
  • there are constant innuendos that they either ignore or pretend are accidental to mess with people further
  • they absolutely have a series of baking videos and either whatever they’re making comes out perfect or like shit there’s no in between
  • they also have an april fools channel that they only upload videos to every april 1st
  • (andrew wears all white and neil actually dresses nice and they both fake smile the whole time and are fake nice to each other and do crafts)
  • the foxes appear enough that their viewers know who they are despite none of them having their own channels
  • when they go see exy games live they vlog or livestream to get real time reactions from a live game on their channel
  • the best is when they go see kevin’s games and roast him
  • they literally only roast kevin in those videos
  • *slow zoom on kevin sitting out on the bench* *the i’m a barbie girl song plays in the background*
  • they tour together of course
  • touring is difficult for them
  • neither of them are big talkers to begin with and coming up with a set is hard so they mostly just take audience questions and meet their fans and sign stuff
  • sometimes neil goes on andrew’s channel to play games that andrew tries to teach him but he fails everytime
  • even at the exy game to his extreme dismay(“but i’m PUSHING the jump button why isn’t he jumping” “there is no jumping in this game, neil”)
  • they have had kevin on the exy channel before but kevin only complained about how they both stopped playing after college the whole time so they never invited him back
  • they have also had all of the foxes on the exy reaction channel and racked up the views with the clickbait “our college exy team roasts kevin day’s playing” which they absolutely do so it’s not really clickbait but they only called it that so people would click on
  • neil did a video where alison did his makeup and then he did hers
  • after incessant requests alison did the same video with andrew on his channel
  • they set up two bedrooms in their apartment to fool the public even though they only ever sleep in andrew’s because they are that extra
  • eventually they needed to convert one of the bedrooms into an office type room because they ran out of drawers to shove paperwork into so neil “mysteriously” starts filming in their living room which many people take to be proof that they switched to a shared bedroom
  • neil always tries to catch andrew eating his cereal on video to prove that it’s him stealing it but never can until one day he actually does and it’s the happiest vlog of his life he cries
  • sometimes when they’re lazy and don’t have a video ready they will just upload compilations of the cats being cute and weird
  • andrew will sometimes join neil for his storytimes if he was there for the actual occurrence of the event and is feeling up for talking
  • mostly neil will tell the story but andrew will add details and dry remarks if warrented
  • neil also sometimes won’t tell andrew about something that happened to him(but only if it isn’t important like a weird uber driver or smth small) and will record andrew’s reaction to neil telling him the story for the first time
  • they eventually do come out and it’s really cute
  • andrew is the one who makes the video after they had been considering it for a while
  • “you guys were right neil and i were dating that whole time but i regret to inform you that we aren’t anymore”
  • that’s it. that’s the whole video. the internet actually implodes
  • an hour later(they were going to wait until the next day but after seeing everyone’s reactions neil couldn’t help but take mercy on them) neil uploads his follow up
  • it’s even shorter than andrew’s and it’s just neil saying “relax we’re married now” followed by him holding up his ring and beyoncé saying “if you like it than you should’ve put a ring on it” playing on loop over the outro
  • nobody relaxes
  • #andreil starts trending on all social media platforms
  • mercifully and entirely because of neil they upload a q&a the next week and it’s over a half hour long of them answering the questions people were inevitably asking despite them not asking for q&a questions
  • they call the video “yes, andreil is andREAL”
  • everything about the whole situation is perfect and they are happy

“They could have blinded you,” Nathaniel said. “All that time fighting and you never learned how to duck?” 
A stony stare was his only answer. Andrew let go of him so he could tug Nathaniel’s hood out of the way. He dragged a finger along the lines of tape keeping the myriad of bandages in place as if looking for the best place to start. He tore the gauze off Nathaniel’s right cheek first, exposing the striped lines left by Lola’s knife.”
