(DISCONTINUED) Walking Along a Knife's Blade by clumsylittlewriter

Summary
DISCONTINUED, BEING REWRITTEN
"Andrew felt an ache in his chest at the difference between the Neil Josten he had known and the man standing in front of him. Neil Josten had had a light in his eyes, an excitement and a joy for a game he had sacrificed everything for. Though he had been skittish, and blunt, and sometimes idiotic, he had also had a vigor for life Andrew had never seen before.
The man standing in front of him was cold, calculating, pragmatic. He didn’t do silly, human little things like dream. Where Andrew had become human in the ten years since they had last seen each other, it was as if Neil Josten had done the opposite - chipped away at the pesky shreds of humanity he had left until there was nothing but a blank kind of darkness. It was as if he had ripped away his soul."
(An AU where Stuart does manage to kill Nathan in time, but Neil is whisked off to train as the next Butcher instead of continuing as an exy player. Andrew knows Neil is alive, but is told he just has to move on and forget about the auburn-haired pipe dream that understood him better than anyone else. And he tries to. Oh, how he tries...)

Summary
"Nathaniel turned his head and began saying something to Natalie, but the second man moved, suddenly. He grabbed the knife from Nathaniel’s hand and sunk it deep into his shoulder.
Andrew’s heart stopped in the few moments he watched his partner get pinned to the brick wall behind them, seeing blood spreading over the fabric of the shirt he was wearing.
Nathaniel’s facial expression didn’t twitch. His eyes were cold, calculating, his jaw set against the pain. He seemed to breathe out before wrapping his fingers around the man’s wrist, pushing down on the pressure points in his arm, and managing to release his grip on the knife. Nathaniel then managed to rip the blade from his flesh and cleanly slit across the attacker’s throat."
(Neil, Renee, and Andrew show just how terrifying they can be when in possession of a few knives)

Summary
"'Thank you,' Natalie said, her voice gravelly. 'Though I don’t know if I’ll ever need to use them.'
'There’s always a use for knives,' Nathaniel replied, a sharp smirk settling on the edges of his lips. He leaned forward until he was able to pluck one of the knives from her hand and twirl it around his fingers effortlessly. 'The question is how good you are at cleaning up.'"(Neil teaches Renee and Andrew how to throw knives)

Summary
"Aaron’s jaw dropped at the same time he heard Katelyn gasp. He was sure he was hallucinating. Or maybe he was back on drugs. Because the man who stepped up to their table looked absolutely identical to Aaron.
He had the same straight, blond hair. He had the same hazel eyes with gold flecks, though his looked completely apathetic. He had an eyebrow slit and black gouges in his ears. He appeared to have the same abundance of tattoos Neil did, some lining his biceps, while others crawled up his neck.
He was also absolutely ripped, with bulging biceps and broader shoulders than Aaron’s could ever be. He had a tight, black, short-sleeved turtleneck on, along with a pair of light wash, ripped jeans. He was wearing black armbands that covered pretty much his entire forearms too, which were embroidered with colorful flowers and bumble bees.
Okay, so maybe not exactly the same. But he was similar enough to obviously be Aaron’s twin."
(Aaron meets Andrew a little later in life)

Summary
"As if in sync, both of them dropped down into fighting stances and tensed their muscles. 'I apologize in advance if I end up killing you,' Nathaniel said, his voice dangerously quiet.
Natalie threw her head back and released a sharp peal of laughter, more malicious than anything Andrew had ever heard from her. 'Don’t get cocky, Butcher-boy,' she taunted, her eyes glittering with vicious glee.
The Butcher’s smile reappeared on his partner’s face."
(a game of darts reminds Andrew that Neil was raised by someone fascinated with knives)

Elevator Music (But It's Just Neil Telling Everyone To Shut Up) by P234age

Summary
Neil was just trying to leave the hotel he'd holed himself up in after being released from WITSEC two weeks ago.
Simple, right?
And while he did succeed in leaving the building, he also managed to get stuck in an elevator with the entire Palmetto State exy team, perform emergency triage on half of them, parkour a little, and possibly learned what it means to be free.
Featuring: Chaotic Foxes, Neil being the only competent person in the room, concerning head wounds, and even more concerning blondes who won't stop staring while Neil tries his best not to die in this elevator.

Summary
In Andrew's defense, blind dates are terrible and almost all of Kevin's friends are even worse.
Nine times out of ten, calling in a favor to get Aaron to switch and tank it for him would be fine.
Unfortunately, Andrew found number ten.

Summary
"Neil" looks at him, and Andrew feels seen in a way that should be impossible, like Neil is able to see what lives under the skin of Andrew Minyard. He stares, evaluates the danger, tensing momentarily, eyes flicking to the nearest door and then back to Andrew. Then he blinks, considering, and relaxes deliberately, like he has taken in all that Andrew is and has come to the conclusion that he is not a threat. Andrew feels his hackles rising. Andrew had been a threat long before he became Andrew.
Two facsimiles of humanity, trying to be real.
