a list of the best aftg fics i’ve read so far:
- “dead of night” by niknak22 (a character study of kevin day, with kerejean hints and so, so much angst. kevin is a really interesting character and i love what niknak22 did with him)
- “say something” by willowbird (genuinely that whole series is awesome. andrew pov of neil struggling with trauma, going non-verbal and injuries, angsty but mostly wholesome.)
- “i wanna see you (be brave)” by arkastadt (matt’s pov of andreil developing… so beautiful. also, has loads of funny moments with the upperclassmen & shows their friendship)
- “odd eye” by tdashshirts (best andrew character study ever. it’s amazing and has inspired me to try and write more on andrew for myself)
- “an abridged family medical guide” by 30degreesandsnowing (if you haven’t read this, what are you doing? i’m not usually one for sickfics but this one is just… chefs kiss. kandreil too!)

As a good friend once said, have you ever gotten tired of Kevin Day getting everything he wants just because he is Kevin Day?
Do you think Kevin Day is too widely revered? Do you find the radiance of him too all-consuming; too hard to perceive, let alone fathom?
Then we are not the fest for you at all, because category is Night of a Thousand Kevin Days! Daylight Savings is a fan event focused around Kevin Day, where you will be able to submit and claim Kevin-related prompts or write one of your own.
Are you interested in making Kevin Day even more self-obsessed? If the answer’s yes, stick around to learn about our schedule in the upcoming days!

hi so yk how those two American footballers have that podcast? I don't know their names bur I think one is Taylor Swifts bf? idk. there are other sports podcasts. ANYWAY.
Neil josten and Kevin day have one except its absolutely fucking crack. except Andrew comes in, let's his cats (they're not Neil's when this happened bcs he's a grumpy guy) create fucking chaos, then leaves. they can't stay on topic bcs they're arguing half the time too.
they have special guest jeremy Knox and Kevin's all excited and then he can't actually focus on the conversation, and tbh Jeremy just wants to talk jean moreau.
they have matt once and nothing productive gets done bcs matt and Neil are too excited tk start recording, so they miss a day of uploading
just absolute bullshittery

I was watching hockey the other day and the announcers were talking about how on the penguins, there are three player who are setting the record for the longest tenure as teammates. they've been playing together for 18 years, i'm sure you can see where my brain went
Anon, yessss!! Omg I can literally just see the interview now:
(Jean, Jeremy, and Kevin sitting in a room with an interviewer)
INTERVIEWER: Well, thanks for sitting down with me, guys! And listen, a few of us were just talking about this - the three of you have been together on the same team for around 10 years now, right?
JEREMY: *smiling* Yep!
JEAN: If you say so.
INTERVIEWER: Wow, that's quite the tenure! Did you know, in fact, that you three are close to setting a record within the league?
KEVIN: What record?
INTERVIEWER: Most consecutive years together on a team.
JEAN: *raises eyebrow* they have records for this?
KEVIN: Who currently holds it?
INTERVIEWER: uh...well I think it's technically Neil Josten and Andrew Minyard with the Dragons.
JEREMY: Awww, good for them!
JEAN: *snorts*
INTERVIEWER: *clears throat* well, in any case, uh...that's quite the achievement, you know? Tell us - what's your secret? What's the magic between you three?
JEREMY: *still smiling* hmm, I wonder.
KEVIN: Practice, hard work, and experience.
INTERVIEWER: Well, I'm sure the time you train together accounts for a lot, but...there's nothing...else you'd say helps?
JEAN: Like?
INTERVIEWER: Um, like...well, you know...like friendship?
JEAN: *blinking* Friendship.
INTERVIEWER: Yeah, man...I mean, after all this time, I would think the three of you have grown so close that you'd be more like bros, you know?
JEAN: *frowning now* Bros.
JEREMY: *biting lip silently against grin* Ohhhh, right. Got it. Yeah man, for sure. Bros.
INTERVIEWER: Exactly! Homies, man.
KEVIN: *tone dripping with derision* Homies.
INTERVIEWER: Three dudes with the most sacred of all bonds - sports.
JEREMY: *now shaking with repressed laughter* Oh, for sure, my dude. Homies. Brotherly bonding. Soooooo hetero. The most.
(Kevin turns to scowl at Jeremy.)
INTERVIEWER: You know, it actually kind of surprised many of us that you didn't end up on a team with Neil and Andrew, Kevin. If anyone, those two are who many of us would have thought you'd be setting this record with.
JEREMY: Oh my god. *doubles over laughing*
JEAN: *smirking* Yes, tell us, Kevin. Why aren't you on a team with Neil and Andrew? Accomplishing this sacred connection of brotherly bonding?
KEVIN: *pinches bridge of nose with fingers before sighing* Let's just say being on the same team with them at the Olympics is more than enough.
KEVIN: *grumbles under breath* The damn pair of menaces.
-------------------
INTERVIEWER: Josten and Minyard, we were just out talking to your rivals on the West Coast last week - Jeremy Knox, Jean Moreau, and your former PSU teammate, Kevin Day, from the Warriors.
*Both stare silently at him*
INTERVIEWER: *coughs* Right, so, we were just saying how that trio is coming up on your record for teammates with the most time spent together on one team.
NEIL: And? What's your point?
INTERVIEWER: *loosens tie* oh, well, there was a little curiosity, I guess, around why Kevin chose that team instead of coming to play for the Dragons - with the two of you, I mean, his former teammates. Um...do you know why that is?
NEIL: Because Andrew would probably stab him.
INTERVIEWER: I...what?
NEIL: *waving hand back and forth* Yeah, I'd probably give it two weeks at most.
INTERVIEWER: ...
NEIL: See, Kevin would whine and nag, and Andrew would get pissed but he promised Wymack he wouldn't, no matter how much Kevin annoys him. So...yeah. It's probably better that they both stay on opposite ends of the country.
INTERVIEWER: ...
ANDREW: *pulling lollipop out of mouth* Never let a sad, forty-something year old man convince you to promise shit.
