I finally finished this stupid drawing lol all of these four are drawn at separate times but are colored recently so ignore my art style changing four times
It’s a running gag in the AFTGF AU that Neil can’t hold a job for long. The only job that he’s kept is working at the diner but it’s because everyone in town excuses his horrible customer service since he’s very attractive and mysterious
I might’ve fallen in love with @shima-draws‘ support hero! deku and I wanted to see a version in which Midoriya has long since aspired to be one I freakin’ loved the story and design of SH!Deku, I’m in love
Bonus:
Deku is a sentimental fool and Bakugou Katsuki is just tired of having to dry up tears
Do you have any very romantic Andreil? In character, but fics of them growing together and finding where their sharp edges fit together without hurting each other. I dunno i was just rereading Trust Fall (and Welcoming Arms) and Progress Comes in Small Steps and i had a need for more. Can be au or post canon or whatever! Thank y’all; i’m grateful for everything you do!!
Andreil fitting their broken edges together and healing is so satisfying to read and good for the soul! This ask took us a long time because life kept happening so we had less time to read fic and for the library. Then we started to worry that we could not do this topic justice, and that made it so much harder to post an answer. We welcome reader recs in the comments. -A & S

Artist!Neil AU series by Fortheloveofexy [Rated G/E, Collection, Complete, 2021]
Part 1: May We Meet Again [G, 10732 Words]
Neil hurriedly pulls out his sketchbook and crosses the street. “Excuse me,” he says in fluid German, waving his hand to catch the short blonde's attention. He’s soundly ignored right up until he’s next to the man’s table. “Hi, sorry to bother you,” he smiles politely, “But I was wondering if I could sketch your portrait?”
tw: implied/referenced abuse, tw: implied/referenced rape/noncon
Part 2: Paint Our Lives In Color [E, 41386 Words]
It's been two weeks since Neil followed Andrew to the States, and life couldn't get any better. Neil has never really known what home feels like, but he imagines it must be something like this.
Or; Neil settles into his new life, makes some new friends and learns a little about the meaning of family.
Set after "May We Meet Again" and before "And May We Never Part"
tw: implied/referenced child abuse, tw: panic attacks, tw: ptsd, tw: anxiety
Part 3: The Past, Stained Red [Not Rated, 4443 Words]
It had started out as such a normal, innocuous day. A peaceful morning, so far from the shadows of his past that he could almost pretend it hadn’t happened.
tw: panic attacks, tw: implied/referenced rape noncon, tw: vomiting, tw: implied/referenced child abuse, tw: implied/referenced self harm
Part 4: And May We Never Part [E, 3241 Words]
A year has passed since the day they first met, and Andrew doesn't shy away from Neil's perceptive gaze anymore. In fact, he finds comfort in it. Being seen by Neil has become its own form of safety. The world may look unkindly on Andrew Minyard, but in the eyes of his lover, his partner, his person, he doesn't need to hide. Neil sees him and loves him for exactly who he is.
Maybe that's what gives him the courage to do what he does today.
(Set after "Paint Our Lives In Color")
tw: explicit sexual content
Part 5: My Love For You Runs Blue [E 3321 Words]
It had been a shock how much he liked this, when he and Neil had first tried doing things this way. Andrew had expected to hate it, or a best, to be neutral about it. He'd wanted to try anyway, just to prove he could. Just to prove that he could have this.
The knowledge that not only could he have this, but he could enjoy it too had been nothing short of a revelation
(Set several years after "And May We Never Part")

Roadside Motels (a The Little Things remix) by static_abyss [Rated M, 7108 Words, Complete, AFTG Remix 2020]
Neil's well aware that this is the first time he and Andrew are away from the others. And the idea that there's no one but Andrew for miles sets a low heat in Neil's stomach. They're by themselves on the road and Neil isn't sure what to expect. But he figures he'll know by the end of the week whether this trip was a good idea.

They’ll do better.

Buried in the weight of your arms by kenkatsuki [Rated T, 3595 Words, Complete, 2017]
Neil grasped tightly at Andrew and hoped to convey all he felt towards the other man. It was so much. Too much. He wasn't sure how it was possible to feel so much for a person when he had learned all his life that feelings were dangerous and risky things, better to be held at bay.
But Andrew had come into his life and Neil would have to lose his fingers and hands and arms to let go of him. Maybe not even then.
No matter what happened they would always find the way back to each other.

Somehow it's hilarious. Just seeing confused Dazai. And others too (except Ranpo obvi). Yet Dazai the most
But for real i imagine how extremely religious was Atsu in childhood. Him praying to God to save him while sitting in chains alone.
Memorize the whole Bible by heart at some point because maybe it can make him a better child
My hc when Atsu is being nervous he starts throws in random facts or nonsense about the Bible. On purpose or not? It depends
Also shout-out to @inamagicalhallucination and her old(?) hc Aku being Atsushi's interpreter
*after a hard and bloody mission*
rando: how can you handle so much pain?
Atsu: well do you know that lady gaga in bible...*keeps talking bullshit*
rando: what
Aku: he's fucking with your head, so he can fuck away your dumb questions out of your head

I can't get away with the tt sound in my head...
And i also can't accept canon atsushi who's not glad with the director's death. Soooo
Atsu drinks one day and open up about one of his life story
Atsushi:and BAAM. He had hit by big ass truck
Rando: Whaaat
peace was never an option
its so funny to me that atsushis pic was in the newspaper like hes kinda locally famous
i mean im sure with teh shit yokohama sees tehy move on from one event to the other real quick, but its funny to imagine atsushi as some type of local celeb like he gets recognized on the street and shit
becuz akutagawa's face is plastered on local police stations all the time
and sskk r besties; like i know wan and anthology arent canon but i feel like them running into each other all the time pretty much is like akutagawas always there
anywho
so its so funny to imagine ppl being like 'whale hero guy hanging out with a MAFIOSO??'
and atsushi is like 'uhh thats not akutagawa the rabid dog of the mafia thats akutagawa the not-rabid-dog-of-the-mafia'
citizen: ...
atsushi: also we're not hanging out; i hate him, he hates me; id die for him, he'd die for me; sometimes we accidentally meet up and go shopping or take a walk and stuff like that. but we're not friends. like i think he's the coolest person ever but he's also a little bitch.
didn't have time to draw what i wanted for valentines but i made this in like 10 minutes 🧡
