Hi! I recently discovered your blog and I was hoping to catch the asks open. Do you know any post canon fics of Andrew's last year at Palmetto? Maybe where he is worried about leaving Neil behind? Also, I don't know if there are any fics of star wars au? Thanks!
Here’s what we’ve got for Andrew’s final year and graduation. Oh yeah, and a little bit of Star Wars too! - S

the pieces that stick around by PoolToast22 [Rated G, 2918 words, complete, 2022]
He’d never thought he'd miss it. The building wasn’t new. He’d spent five years living in it. Surviving in it. But now, with less than 24 hours left within the high walls, he couldn't help but look at it completely differently.
It was no stranger to Andrew to walk away from a living place and feel like a piece of him was being left inside. He knew heartbreak. He knew what it was like to leave somewhere for the last time and know you would never get back the person you were when you walked through the door. In fact, most places he'd lived had broken away a chunk of him. They all tore at his skin, clawed at his soul, and crumbled his defenses until they could no longer be broken.

AKA the one where Andrew has one day left at Fox Tower and he doesn't know how to feel about it.

Part 3 of the ‘an exercise in growth’ series
To the untrained eye, Neil Josten would seem entirely normal, albeit a little more tightly wound than usual.
Andrew Minyard's eye is not untrained.
Alternatively: Neil never thought he would live long enough to want a future and Andrew can't find the words to reassure him.

The thunder for the storm by aceofreaders (Kickasscookieeater) [Rated T, 15109 words, complete, 2020]
Andrew has spent five years in Palmetto, four years entangled there with Neil Josten and his band of merry foxes.
Andrew has spent four years breaking and rebuilding routines and patterns and thought processes. Four years sharing kisses and cigarettes and truths.
Despite himself, he got used to it. He got used to his own pack, he got used to the other foxes, he got used to Neil Josten in the few ways it's possible to do so. And if pressed, hard, he could admit to himself that he's not sure what to do without any of those things.
But nothing gold can stay, or whatever. Because now he has to leave.

You Deserve Better by socksandsandels [Not Rated, 4749 words, incomplete, last updated June 2020]
Andrew had always told Neil that whatever "this" was meant nothing but Neil had never believed him before. Except now Andrew is graduating and Neil knows that if their going to work long distance then they both have to try harder. But will Andrew finally be able to tell Neil what he means to him or will he keep denying till there is nothing left?
Or: It's Andrews last year at Palmetto and he is about to go pro. Neil asks him to acknowledge what is between them and try harder so they work long distance. But Andrew thinks Neil deserved better then him.
I can't make you love me (if you don't) by djhedy [Rated T, 5318 words, complete, 2020]
Andrew realises he’s faced with two choices: hold onto this or let it go forever.
And he hates that.
Almost as much as he hates Neil.
He watches as Neil turns away, walks up the length of the room once, stops, looks back. “It’s ok,” he says, his voice drained of any emotion, face set. Sure. Resigned. “You always said this was nothing.”
Andrew nods. Remembers there’s a cigarette dangling between his fingers, so brings it back up to his lips, holds it there, doesn’t even bother breathing in.
“Ok,” Neil says again, and leaves the room.

before andrew graduates, neil asks him to make a choice.
Have I told you? by alex_wh0 [Rated T, 1312 words, complete, 2020]
Set during Andrew's fifth and final year at PSU, when both Neil and Andrew are perched on the edge of uncertainty. Who knew Neil could write?
i'd hold you down (if I could, make you the enemy) by bluesky_daydreaming [Rated T, 2585 words, complete, 2020]
Neil will tie himself down to Andrew and stick around until Andrew tells him to go and Andrew does not want to be the one who is responsible for keeping Neil on the ground. He will not be the reason that Neil lets himself shut down after they are all gone, the reason he never branches out and seeks out someone new to touch, someone who gladly let him touch them.
****
Or: Andrew pushes Neil away because he thinks it will be easier than watching him leave.

Andrew Minyard is not good with words. Betsy helps him find a way to say the things to Neil he wants to.

“I'm graduating in three days.” Andrew said.
David took a long drag of his tea and waited.
“I will be moving to Columbus.” He continued, “Neil is not.”
“I have him for another year,” David said, “Are you worried?”
David watched Andrew swallow the knee-jerk denial that he felt anything, chasing it with a sip of cocoa. “He requires a certain level of supervision.”
Damned if I Do by Spanglebangle [Rated T, 4731 words, complete, 2018]
In a few short weeks, Andrew will graduate from PSU. And he has a very important, and very terrifying, decision to make.
Exy, or...something else. But what? Does he really want to commit to Exy for the rest of his life? And if not Exy, then what? What is he supposed to do? What is he supposed to want - and how can he possibly choose it?

Andrew’s final year at Palmetto State comes to a close. His future is upon him and there are plans to be made. Years ago, Neil asked Andrew to stop smoking in exchange for something. Andrew finally knows what he wants in return.

Star Wars AU:
Hope Is a Disquieting Thing by Sundaye [Rated M, 67953 words, incomplete, last updated May 2020]
Abram's father is one of the most powerful beings in the universe and he's spent years searching for his wife and son who stole millions of credits from the Empire and ran. They're two of the most wanted by the Empire for their dangerous insight into Imperial secrets. When a deadly confrontation with his father ends with Abram's mother's life, Abram must find a way to escape alone for the first time in his life.
Meanwhile, smuggler and ex-Imperial laborer Andrew Minyard and his crew have lost an important ally to the Empire and are intent on rescuing him and returning him to the Rebellion.
When the chance comes for Abram to flee Tatooine with Andrew's crew he dons a new alias, Neil, and takes it.
Basically, this is a Star Wars AU.
