Use 1337x.to rarbg or rutracker, highly moderated public torrent trackers, because Pirate Bay has long been shut down, unmoderated, and cloned by some shady actors AND use Mullvad VPN (or any other vpn but mullvad is the best definitely) to protect your ip address while you torrent, bind it to qbittorrent and do not use utorrent anymore either because it is littered with adware.

If any of those terms made you go ????? and you think pirating must be So Hard, I wrote a verbose but easy to follow guide a while back for total beginners!

Another fic bind! This time it's the absolutely gorgeous Keepsakes Hold Power by dustandstatic, as well as a handful of other lovely ZagThan fics by the same author. I was seriously blown away by how beautiful these stories were.

As far as the bind goes, this was...not the book I was planning to make, but it's the one that got made. I wanted to do a black book cloth spine with an elegant red paper cover, but for the life of me I could not find one I liked. I had this black marble instead, so I went with it.

The good news is, you can! @renegadepublishing has been such a great and welcoming community/resource, and you don't even really need a ton of supplies to start.

It was supposed to be just one last year. One last year before he said goodbye to the future he might have had, to the life he craved. It was supposed to be one last breath of Exy before he cut all ties with the normal kid he’d always wished he was, but like most of his plans that involved any sort of indulgence, it went askew pretty early on with no hope of ever rectifying itself.

(Alternatively, Andrew and Neil meet, and in typical Andrew and Neil fashion, things happen. Side serving of Foxes included.)

Winter never lasts forever

The cold is the first thing that Nathaniel notices when he wakes up. Everything is numb with it. How he ended up here or who he is, how old - none of this feels as certain as the cold filling his chest and bringing the wind down with the snow. Winter never lasts forever, but for Nathaniel it might as well.

i remember fields of flowers

Andrew has always had an overactive imagination and tendency to tell the truth. The problem is, most people tend to focus on the former, rather than the latter. When a certain runaway happens upon the small, California town of Foxvale, everyone assumes that this “Neil” is Andrew’s imaginary friend.

Bedroom Voices

Neil can’t sleep. Andrew has a podcast that deals with bedroom issues of a different kind. And Kevin thinks Neil should meet his new friend, the guy who makes their sushi at the Kroger.

Talk Shit, Get Hit. Talk Gender, Get Splendor~!

Aaron shows up to practice with his eyes blackened, his nose swollen, his chin bruised, icing a muscle in his shoulder. Andrew promises to find whoever did this and rain vengeance upon them and their family.

Neil is a math major with a limp and an attitude problem. Revenge might just be the last thing on Andrew's mind........

Only Human

Neil Josten needs a little help taking care of himself sometimes. Andrew is there to help.

Ongoing fics

a heart that's full up like landfill

Neil Josten isn’t living, but he is surviving. When he enrols himself into Millport high school, he sets 3 rules for himself:

1. He’s ready to run at any moment

2. He’ll keep his head down

3. He can’t, under any circumstances, get attached to anyone

...

Too bad he fails, quite spectacularly, at all 3

SQUISHABLE SPA DAY

This guest blog post is by Squishable fan Xavier F.! 

Your squishable is sad, dingy, and smells funny. What do you do? I’m here to tell you how to give your squishy pal a spa day all his own! All you will need are the following:

Any brand of body or baby wipes (I use Scott’s)

Baby powder or baking soda

A brush (preferably one with the soft bristles or fine-toothed)

Vacuum cleaner with brush attachment

Spot cleaner such as Oxy Clean (optional - used for tough stains more than regular maintenance)

Snuggles

not jealous by psych0midget (cominupforair) [Rated T, 3555 Words, Complete, 2020]

Andrew is okay. Everything is perfectly okay. College is okay. He hasn’t tried to stab anyone in almost two months. Exy practices are boring.

And he absolutely doesn’t have a crush on his roommate Neil Josten.

It is all perfectly okay.

definitely something by bazookajo94 [Rated T, 8011 Words, Complete, 2020]

In order to get over his ex who is getting married, Kevin forces Neil to go into a pact with him: they each have to find each other’s dates to the wedding, since clearly Kevin can’t be trusted to find someone good for himself, and Neil is just hopeless.

Neil thinks he’s found a good match for Kevin in Andrew: he’s good at exy, he can tolerate Kevin at his worst, and he always turns up whenever Kevin and Neil are out and about. Neil is pretty sure Andrew is half in love with Kevin already.

Andrew is, obviously, very much into Neil.

Empty Kiss by Leahelisabeth (fortheloveofcamelot) [Rated M, 1987 Words, Complete, 2017]

Based on a Tumblr prompt for an empty kiss.

Andrew knew something had shifted when feelings started to break through his drug fueled haze. At first, it was weak, just fleeting impressions sneaking through when he approached sobriety. There was fear, the urge to run, and, most improbably, every once in awhile he actually cared about Exy. The anger, the stubbornness, those he recognized, those could almost be his own, but the longing to be a part of the family, that was something that he had stomped out long ago.

Summary: When Hera takes Percy’s memories away, he’s twenty-six.

══════════════════

War carves soldiers out of children.

Trauma runs deep in the ridges of his fingers, the gnarled knots of his scars. It seeps down into his veins—it’s in his blood now. He prays to any god who hears that he will not pass down his suffering to his children. If he has the chance to have them, that is.

Percy’s last war, his only war, ended with Kronos. He was sixteen and weary with it. He carried age like a burden meant for Atlas alone. Yet he survived. One life-ending prophecy and he lived to tell the tale. He lived to love. He was luckier than most.
