Tales From The Open Road

Wait I hope there’s a little freshman leech on the foxes the same way that Jean has one at USC. Neil would hate that. It would be so funny. Kevin would have a grandson.

Idk about you all, but my fav weirdly specific aftg fic is like a magical realism/urban fantasy fic. Idk why but all of the ones I’ve read are SO GOOD. I’ve read a couple of witch ones and one where Neil is a fox shapeshifter and the setting was so good and idk why but that kind of fic just hits every time ✊🏼

Waiting for Nora to post teaser content for TGR is like being in a situationship. Like it’s fine if we don’t text everyday, but like…something?? Anything??? Trying not to get attached but it’s so hardddddddd

Feels right I should log on and discover there will be two Kevin books and TSC3 has a working title when pride month starts. That’s very gay of me. 😚

Shout out to the fan artists drawing Jean with a big nose. May wealth find you in all its forms.

Does anyone have any dream aftg au prompt requests? I need somewhere to put my obsession and wanna write something.

Thinking about how often Jean quotes Neil to himself to feel safe. Thinking about Jean saying to Jeremy you don’t have to trust him because I do. Thinking of how Nora said if Neil had been a raven when he was supposed to be he could have never left Jean alone even after Kevin did. Thinking about Neil and his ‘one of us has to survive this, and it’s going to be him’ mentality taking root and growing into everyone he cares about. Including Jean. Thinking about misplaced forever partners. Thinking about two kids who had no one but each other in every version of the story except for the one we got, so we see this fractured longing version instead and they’re so much better off, but there’s something missing too.

Imagine Aaron finding out he has a twin and thinking to himself ‘wow I can’t believe I’m someone’s “evil” twin with my drug dependencies and traumatic home life’ and then he meets fucking Andrew. Like- he probably had a whole crisis over being all fucked up and feeling shame that this other version of himself would have to see him all fucked up and then the other version of himself is ANDREW. iconic. So funny. Writing peaked there.

One of the funniest parts of TKM is that after Baltimore when everyone knows about Andrew and Neil, they keep trying to leave them alone together in the dorms so they can make out. Like Nicky keeps dragging Kevin away and Neil knows why he’s doing this and basically says that it’s a 50/50 if Andrew will put up with it or go find them and drag them back out of spite and like—that is just so funny. Not only because Neil KNOWS, like he somehow manages to miss every other social cue ever but he can tell that they’re scheming to get them alone, but also because it implies that Andrew is in an intense battle between his lust and his spite and absolutely can not decide which will win on a given day.
