Hc That Immediately After The Events Of The Trilogy Neil Crashes So Hard. From Christmas Onwards His

hc that immediately after the events of the trilogy neil crashes so hard. from christmas onwards his body has been abused and in various stages of healing and he is running through it all on adrenaline. this boy wins the championship and secures his safety and i bet just turns off.

there's no nathan or riko to be running from. the season is over, he has his trophy. there is nothing immediately pressing that concerns his performance on the court or his/andrew's/the team's safety and his body finally gets to come out of fight or flight and man is he fucking tired.

masterlist for my silly little aus before they get lost in my dash forever

you guys don't understand how insane the sentence "why didn't they love her enough to keep her safe?" is coming from the protagonist of a series like all for the game. none of the foxes, even in their most delirious state, would have that expectation from the people who had betrayed them. jean is such a deeply genuine and emotional person, so different from the perspective neil provides, that it actually hurts more to know he had any hope at all for elodie's survival

I always think about how we saw Andrew at one of the lowest points in his life. Like after thanksgiving, getting sober, and Proust (a reminder of everything that had ever happened to him), Andrew was probably near the most raw, unforgiving, and volatile he could ever be. Add that to the harsh personal contrast of how relatively calm his life was right before; it's safe to say we saw Andrew at his worst.

So when people say things like Andrew bottoming (something Nora said he one day does in the ec) don't make sense, or just overall say things that imply Andrew is exactly like how we see him for the rest of his life, it kills me. Because we saw him at one of the worst points in his life, but more importantly we saw him get given the tools and the people to heal. So yes, he's always gonna be rude as fuck and generally off putting, but he's gonna grow and transform in ways we couldn't imagine. He'll always have trauma, and his outlook will always be influenced by it, but he was a teenager in those books, and he has an entire life to live and heal with Neil and Bee and yes, Aaron.

Aftg is about overcoming trauma, and it doesn't necessarily focus on the healing part of that, but I still think it's one of the most important post-canon things that this fandom doesn't really talk about.

y'all read all three aftg books and still said Kateaaron wouldn't make it past college. THAT is fucking crazy
