The Town and the Trees by letsjustayhere [Rated T, 37548 Words, Complete, 2021]

Kevin didn’t look up when Neil neared, simply said: “I can’t answer your questions, Neil.” “What,” Neil said, a bit breathlessly and endlessly curious, “are you so afraid of?” And something about Kevin - flickered. Something in his shoulders and in his head as it hung, just for a moment, in defeat. He looked impossibly tired, exhausted in a way that had nothing to do with sleep and everything to do with the burdens they both ignored were there. “Monsters are real, Neil.”  “I know.”

Kevin Day is ND hc by @kevinandthepalmetthoes [Tumblr, 2021] 

when I first read aftg, I immediately recognised myself in Kevin. what I saw was a lot of my autistic traits in his character, and I was sort of shocked when I found out it wasn't canon that he was autistic/adhd. 

Reply to comment on Andrew’s character in Minyard-Josten Rivalry by @andrew-is-foxy [Tumblr, 2021]

I write Andrew as autistic because it’s my interpretation of his character...

- Neil’s special interests would probably be exy and languages right??

- Even when he had money to buy new clothes he refused cause the worn out fabric from his old clothes didn’t give him sensory overload

per your post "every single one of the monsters is autistic and/or adhd" will you elaborate on that? hc by @palmett-hoes [Tumblr, 2020]

Hiya! I think that's Impossible Dreams by afreezingnote

Summary: If she hadn’t been near enough to observe the soft, gold glow flare from beneath Merlin’s eyelashes, she wouldn’t have known he’d called on his magic at all before he pulled his arm back inside, dried his hand on his trousers, and closed the window.

“Shouldn’t be long now,” Merlin said.

It struck her how the cheerful grin pointed at her now looked just the same on him as it had the day she’d first met him in the stocks. Awash in an odd sense of timelessness, Gwen could hardly believe she would marry the two most powerful men in the five kingdoms that evening.

I don’t have much gushing, but lots of softer and obviously smitten Andrew. - A

“Neither of you are subtle,” Aaron groans. “The whole school is waiting for you to bang already.”

“I don’t want to bang him, Aaron,” Andrew snaps. “I want to take him on dates and hold his stupid hand and then bang him. Longterm. Monogamously. I want to be his boyfriend, I want him to be my boyfriend. I want to one day be Mr. Andrew Minyard-Dobson-Josten.”

Neil balances precariously on the edge of the bed before allowing gravity to pull his body downward. He does it in a sort of rolling motion that’s half-fall and half-precision - which is to say, that he stumbles with purpose off the bed and into a standing position.
