It's here! I hope you'll enjoy :>
It was too much like the day his mother died, like the day in the cell after Drake. Hands in his hair, breathing slow and forced, as he built walls brick by brick, trying to find some way to accept the reality pressing in on him.
Chapter 2 is here! I hope you'll enjoy it :>
“Teamwork,” Nicky would call it. “Friends,” Matt would say, making Neil look like a kid seeing a Christmas tree for the first time. “Bullshit,” Andrew would shoot back, and Aaron dragged his mind in any other direction—he wasn’t picky.
It's happening it's happening it's happening, tomorrow is the day I start posting my twinyard omegaverse fic! I truly lucked out with my betas, I want to cry.
To set the mood, here for you the moodboard and a playlist! These are all songs I heard the piano version of on repeat as I desperately worked to finish this fic after 6 years. Surely if I did it then anyone can. Go and pick up that dusty WIP. Expect the fic to come out on Sunday between 8PM and 11PM UCT unless otherwise stated.
Literally no one asked for this but here I am, with a RarePair, Problematic ff for our beloved IP All For The Game. Are problematique rarepairs still a thing in this fandom, or have they been burned to the ground? Well, no matter. This one is a bit of a miracle because I literally started writing it in 2018, reached almost half of it, and then promptly got stuck and left it there. It wasn't until I was watching a movie a couple months ago that I saw the good ol' young Dane Dehaan, and my brain immediately went "This is the face. You go and finish that story now." So I did. Which brings to you a forbidden twinyard omegaverse "canon compliant" (if you squint) 12 chaptered fic! My idea is to post one chapter per week, so I have the time to edit things if I need to, but it would undoubtedly be way easier if there was someone willing to beta as we move along. I understand that the theme of the fic doesn't make it necessarily simple, but I'll leave the ad anyway: Looking for a beta reader willing to help double check that things make sense chapter by chapter, checking grammar, date references, possible inconsistencies etc. Obviously prior experience in betareading is appreciated, but it's more than enough if they're a careful reader. Considering the subject matter and the explicit content, the beta needs to be 21+ please and thanks
If someone is interested, drop me a chat message and you will have my eternal gratitude. If no one wants to touch this with a 10-foot pole, understandable, have a nice day, I'll edit it on my own and post it on ao3 as per usual ✌️
by the way, talking of hating every inch of a person in the very same sentence where bjs are mentioned is wild
Currently rereading aftg (while carefully checking the Italian translation) and it's coming back to me how my stupid ass literally sincerely unironically read tfc the first time and convinced herself that it was a childhood-friends-with-backstory-reunite-and-fall-in-love kind of deal. This shameful brain read tfc and then half of trk (they weren't all available at the time, so there was time between each book and I didn't know where the story was going) sure as fuck that neil would end up with kevin, and andrew was /checks notes andrew was the rival, the new relationship (kevin/andrew) threatening the old, destined one (neil/kevin).
I don't know how I can properly convey the way I fell off my armchair in shock and glee when I realised that clearly I didn't know how to read because andrew was going to be the main love interest and had been building up toward that role since the very beginning.
Absolutely criminal that I didn't have anyone I could scream at about it and that could scream at me because wth.
All I'm saying is that some of you should have warned me before I had a mild heart attack in a random Milan bookstore
Do yourself a favor and read the All For the Game series
more reasons to read these books:
This gives me life and I’m laughing so much because if you read my version of this post, you’ll find the same things. Also, I’ll add the link where you can download the first book (still free because nora obviously hasn’t realized she deserves an award yet), and please GIVE IT A TRY. If you’re not gasping for air after 1 hour of reading, then you can tell me to fuck off. HERE’s where you can download it.
i think i might have to re read all for the game for the third time in a week…
welcome to the club, I’ve read the whole trilogy more than 15 times I swear
After reading The Foxhole Court, there are two things I know about Exy:
1. I never ever want to play that game. 2. I really REALLY WANT TO WATCH THAT GAME!!!
Alright, we have one player! Eleven to go, and we can organize a match!
sure nika, because ONE team is enough to play a match xD
That’s why we need twelve players in total: six per team. That’d leave no subs, but given that finding people willing to play this game won’t be easy that’s a luxury we cant afford yet. ;)
oh, you’re already taking for granted that no one will want to play a game where you can potentially break a bone every ten minutes. wonder why xD
If I ever win the lottery I’m buying ya’ll tumblr peeps jerseys, just sayin’.
I wasn’t too bad in the goal when playing handball if you need a goalkeeper. (also I’m naturally well paded :D)
Two players, ten to go! And YESSSS to the jerseys! Let’s run around in bright orange! :D
ok so we have shakeskp for the goalkeeper position, gganseyiii for I don’t know what let’s just make it impossible for her it will be hilarious, korakos is the coach I’m studying philosophy and psychology, so I can be the therapist (I can also shout insults at the opposite team during matches, I know how to be loud)
I can be a striker… I don’t run very fast but I love to win and to score! XD
*raises hand* I have crazy stamina and I can run for a very long time. Also, I was like a black belt in judo a long time ago ??? I don’t know which position would fit me best but I’m in ! (take note that I can’t aim to save my life…. yeah, this is gonna be a problem)
offensive or defensive dealer? but you’ll have to work on that aim at least to pass to your teammates u_u I’m also laughing my ass off because “mark that asshole!” *shoulder wheel throw* “goddamit not this again” updated: korakos - coach shakeskp - goalkeeper spookyronny - striker cymeteria - dealer thislittlebadwolf - mascotte and driver extraordinaire me/myself/I - team psychologist
are we the smallest but fierciest fandom or what
we sure as hell are! and yes, tag whoever is missing in the fandom

Just finished The Foxhole Court, and man what a ride that was! There I went, thinking I’d read about college kids with issues in a sportsy setting, and then this! Holy hell! Good thing the follow ups are already published!
I’m so glad you liked it!! also “college kids with issues in a sportsy setting”, I’m laughing, that’s like the best euphemism ever for this story let’s just use it to attract readers that will have NO IDEA what they’re getting into
“He didn’t know what this thing between them was anymore. He didn’t know what he wanted or needed it to be. He just knew he had to hold on for as long as he could.”
for the foxes clarkequeengriffin and gganseyiii and @everythingthatmatters, who are 100% andreil trash just like me
“Forget the Foxes and your useless high school team and your family. See it the only way it really matters, where Exy is the only road to take. What do you see?”
“Why did you bring the racquet upstairs?”
