    Summary

    Stay on the path. Do not stray. And above all else, never give your name.

     

    Something is wrong with this forest. No one dares to tread through it except Neil, for whispers say the forest harbors ancient dangers, things that hunger for things beyond flesh. Something is always watching, waiting for a chance to claim more than any mortal can give.

    One night, the quiet unease of the woods is shattered by a strange encounter with a creature disguised as a young man. At first glance, the meeting seems harmless, but Neil soon realizes this being is not of this world—it’s playful, dangerous, and far too curious about him. As they exchange sharp words, Neil resists the pull of its tempting promises and narrowly avoids giving away the one thing it desires most: his name. But the creature's parting smile suggests that escaping it once does not mean escaping it forever.

    This forest is far from finished with Neil. Something ancient waits in the shadows, patient and cunning. The next time Neil treads its path, the rules may change... and the cost of crossing might be more than just a name.

    Summary

    Andrew isn't a renowed author. Sure, he has his fans here and there, a few hardcore readers, but he's not famous or internationally known.

    So, when he stumbles across his own book in a place where it absolutely shouldn't be and in a language it absolutely wasn't translated to, he makes it his personal mission to find the person behind it.

    Summary

    Andrew’s life is just fine. He’s got a brother he mostly doesn’t hate, a job he actually loves, his platonic soulmate Kevin, and a tiny mountain town he calls home.

    So what if some people get two soulmates? Andrew already has everything he never thought he could have….and yet, he’s about to get so much more than he bargained for.

    Summary

    Neil didn’t mean to steal a car belonging to a local gang, and he certainly didn’t mean to steal the gang’s getaway driver, Kevin Day, along with it.

    Unfortunately for Neil, Andrew Minyard doesn’t care why he stole the car (or Kevin), just that he knew how to drive it - and honestly, who made Kevin the getaway driver, anyway?

     

    A Baby Driver AU, but it's so loosely connected that you don't need to know anything about the movie to read.

    Summary

    “I’m obsessive about everything,” Neil protests, sitting in a booth with the four upperclassmen he can stand. “What makes this obsession special?”

    “Okay, we get the Exy obsession, because you’re legitimately planning on going pro, and we get the Kevin obsession because he’s dedicated to teaching you to go pro, and we even get the Minyard obsession,” Dan says.

    “Shh,” Neil pleads desperately, hoping beyond hope that nobody heard that.

    “But the podcast has nothing to do with Exy! It’s half about music, and you don’t even like music that much,” Dan says. “It’s literally just music and a really weird guy talking about his homicidal impulses, and it sorta sounds like a joke, but on a much more real level it sounds like it’s absolutely not a joke and I would call the authorities if this guy gave any personal details at all,” Dan says.

    “It’s mostly a joke,” Neil offers, but it sounds weak to his own ears.

    In which Andrew has a podcast, and Neil falls in love with him twice.
