Hi, im looking for an omegaverse fanfiction i read a while ago. Neil is an omega and had never ran away, growing up in the nest. everyone thinks hes a beta and before his first season riko tries to mate him and he ends up badly injured and at the foxes stadium in jeans hoodie. he keeps up the lie that hes a beta until andrew figures it out. there is a scene where riko leaves them all presents in their lockers and neils is a collar, and some jerejean and kevaaron too.
i was wondering if you could help me find it?
Hi! This might be it?
Still Human by my_unlikely_hero
I haven't read this one, but it seems to match the premise you described, and Neil shows up at Palmetto in Jean's hoodie.

Octopi is Plural For Octopus by jingerhead
Word Count: 4,378
Rating: G
Summary:
Though he tried to keep the day as normal as he could, Neil still got up a whole hour earlier than usual to take his run and attempted to make some eggs that burned when he got lost in thought. Andrew walked into the kitchen with a scowl and helped clean up the mess, making something actually edible with a mask of perfect calm. But Neil was an expert in Andrew’s facial expressions by now and could tell he was a bit nervous about what the day would bring.
Facing Riko? No problem. The mafia? Neil could deal with it any day. Watching two little blonde girls that said words like ‘fishies’? Neil felt like his heart could stop at any moment.
~*~
It's Aaron and Katelyn's anniversary, and they'd prefer to spend it child-less.
Enter Neil and Andrew, who are going to do their damn best to give these kids the best sleepover ever.
Comments: Pure fluff, super sweet!

Word Count: 1,341
Rating: G
Summary:
Two little eyes look up at him, wide and slowly blinking from within Katelyn’s arms. The child is in a white blanket, wisps of blonde hair on it’s head and a toothless mouth opening and closing. Andrew remembers Kevin telling him the name is Hope.
Hope Minyard.

Of One Soul by Incomprehensible Order (YEdFh)
Word Count: 7,088
Rating: Teen
Canon Divergent: Neil has a twin
Summary:
Neil has never wanted to hide more than he does right now.
Except he can’t stay hidden. He can’t blend in. He can’t run. Because the FBI’s got his number. Because Andrew is pretending not to watch him from the driver’s seat of the Maserati. Because…
Well, because Neil’s going to see his brother.
Comments: It was super interesting to see how someone else might have reacted differently to being in the same situations Neil was in while growing up and on the run.

Aren’t you Andrew’s kid? by FreakingOutGirl
Rating: G
Word Count: 2,036
Time Period: Pro Exy
POV: OC
Summary:
“You are Andrew’s kid?” the coach blurted, clearly shocked with the revelation to which the kid nodded. The man’s eyes flew to his black hair and blue eyes.
“How old are you?”
“Ten…” Luke answered, seeing the man make his mental math and reach a wrong conclusion. Luke wondered if he should say the word adoption, but he was having too much fun messing with the coach to actually clarify the situation. He saw the man murmur teenage pregnancy and smirked.
Or
In which Neil and Andrew adopt a kid, Luke. And no one knows about it until one day.
Part of a series about the lives of Neil, Andrew, Luke and with occasional appearances from the Foxes
Comments: I really enjoyed this fic. I thought Andrew and Neil's characterizations were quite on brand, and it was funny too!

Home by Side_effect_of_the_meds
Word Count: 5,308
Rating: Teen
Time Period: Canon
Alternate Universe: Neil has a sibling
POV: OC (Neil's half sister)
Summary:
feel like the fandom collectively decided to forget about the fact that Lola Malcolm low-key tried to get with Neil in the trunk of the police car. But you know, I’mma bring it up anyways. She had said that Neil would be her type if only he was just a bit older and comments about how much he looks like his father. All that essentially implies that Nathan is her type… Has- has Lola been hitting on Nathan? Has she been with Nathan before? If you care to venture down that rabbit hole, the story of Natalie Ann Wesninski is below.
Comments: This fic fits so well into canon and makes so much sense! Really enjoyed reading this one!

ok because AP tests are upon us and this is my only way of releasing all my stress, here's a short list of andreil study time hcs for your viewing pleasure
our boy andrew doesn't really have to study
neil on the other hand... actually needs to work to keep up his GPA
he's never really cared enough to study but now he has the foxes and exy and a future to lose so he might as well put in the effort to keep them
neil needs caffeine like he needs oxygen. the man cannot focus for shit without it
he'll down like three mugs of black coffee in the morning and be set for the day
andrew hates it but doesn't complain much as long as neil makes him some actually decent coffee too
(once, neil accidentally gave him the wrong mug and andrew didn't talk to him for the rest of the day)
when andrew does study or does homework, he hates studying in the library
he told nicky that it was because he's "allergic to books"
really, he just knows he'd get distracted and start reading william faulkner or jane austen instead of his textbooks
neil, however, loves the library
he can't study at all in the dorms; he needs to keep moving to new environments so he doesn't get bored by his surroundings
so neil and andrew don't study together half the time
which works out well considering the few times that they do, they tend to get more than a little... distracted
but if the library is closed or neil just doesn't have the energy to leave the dorm, he bullies andrew into helping him study instead of playing video games or reading
(neil gets a kiss for every question he gets right. andrew gets to look at a pretty guy for a few hours. it's a win-win situation)
mr. Neil draws-fox-paws-instead-of-doing-his-work Josten struggles with focusing on literally anything but exy and andrew
so he always ropes in one of the foxes as a "study-buddy" to hold him accountable while he's working
andrew and neil both like having noise-cancelling headphones on while they work, but this also means that people hold full-on conversations with them without realizing that they can't be heard
(also, because they're assholes, even when they can hear the other person, they just... don't respond.)
andrew is a pastel highlights guy. also he's weirdly possessive about his pens
neil just grabs the first mechanical pencil he sees (99% of the stationary he has isn't even his, he just found them laying around campus)
neil is also super disorganized. loose papers everywhere, he can never find anything. no matter how clean a place starts, it turns into a mess within 5 minutes of neil studying there
he also has food wrappers and crumbs everywhere because he constantly snacks while studying
andrew is surprisingly clean - he organizes everything by class and then color-codes everything (granted his memory helps so he doesn't have too many notes in the first place)
anyways, they both have their own methods of studying and it works for them
(aka andrew just vibes and neil frantically finishes all his work 3 hours before it's due)
ok yeah that's all i got right now, my brain is fried and i actually have to study now, pray for me 😔

Andrew Minyard is the Smartest Ever and I Need to Discuss It
So one night Andrew and Neil are both perching on Andrew’s desk which he has pushed by the window because they’re both blowing their smoke out through the screen
It’s finals week and all of Neil’s books are scattered underneath where they are sitting
Andrew is already done his finals because seniors take theirs early
The seniors are celebrating senior week but Andrew much rather prefers staying in and pretending it’s a hardship helping Neil study even though he secretly doesn’t mind
And after they’re done smoking, Andrew says something like “you sure have become a slob for a former runaway” and Neil just rolls his eyes and dramatically swipes all the papers and books from the desk into his backpack to shut Andrew up
Not realizing that he accidentally swept some of Andrew’s papers from the desk
Probably because they made out on the desk for about 45 minutes afterward
So the next day when Neil is trying to cram during his five minutes between exams he starts rummaging through his bag for his notes
And instead finds a letter
And he’s confused why he has a university official letter in his bag and starts reading it
But then he notices it’s addressed to Andrew
So he’s about to stop
But TOO LATE because then he sees in bold letters
“Congratulations on being this year’s Valedictorian"
And Neil sucks in a breath so hard that he starts choking
And now he has to fucking SIT THROUGH an entire FUCKING EXAM knowing this information
I mean Neil knew Andrew was smart but he did not know he was this smart
That even when Andrew was hospitalized he was still doing his work and getting straight A's
Cause Andrew has always gotten straight A's
When he was in the foster system he probably used doing homework and studying and reading as an outlet
And Neil spends at least half of his english exam wondering when in the world Andrew has time to study between Exy practices and Neil being a constant pain in his ass
But then Neil starts to put some of the pieces together and thinks about all the times he was studying and Andrew would just be reading in the corner
Or how Andrew never misses any of his classes for anything unless Neil says he needs him
And now Neil feels guilty for any time that he pulled Andrew from class
And Neil knows Andrew’s schedule by heart except it never really clicked that Andrew has been in 400 level classes since Neil has known him
But Andrew never puts in effort!!! With anything!!! So it doesn’t make sense!!! Except it /does/ because Andrew only puts in effort if nobody is asking him to
Nobody ever hounds Andrew about classes or his grades probably thinking it would be pointless to do so
Except nobody apparently had to because Neil apparently has the smartest boyfriend in the world
His dick might be half hard by the time he hands in his exam
I mean he basically pops a boner every time Andrew wears his glasses so it is #confirmed he has a huge kink for intelligence and intelligent looks
So Neil gets through his English exam and rushes back to his dorm
That he shares with Andrew and Kevin
And he barges in and is looking down at the paper saying "You’re valedictorian??!!??”
And when he looks up he realizes it isn’t just Andrew in the room
Neil is stunned into silence
Andrew is perched in his regular spot
And all of the rest of the foxes are scattered across the floor watching a movie together like literally ALL OF THEM like the past foxes too because they came to visit!!!! Because Neil only has one last exam tomorrow but also to sort of have an excuse to be there for the other foxes’ graduation
But now all eyes are on Andrew
And Andrew is looking at Neil with the most passive expression
Nicky is the first to speak letting out a stunned “What the fuck"
He earns a glare from Andrew
Kevin, Matt, and Aaron are looking between Neil and Andrew in complete shock
Renee looks unsurprised but gives Andrew this small proud mom smile
Kevin, Matt, and Aaron are literally giving themselves whiplash
Dan and Allison are just sort of looking at Neil for further explanation since they know they won’t get any from Andrew
But Neil doesn’t have any explanation
And he’s short circuiting because everybody is there
Also he feels like he just revealed one of Andrew’s big secrets or something
But Andrew just slides off the desk and walks over to Neil
And takes the paper out of Neil’s hands
Whips out his lighter
Sets the paper on fire
Drops it in the bin
And says "guess I’m not valedictorian anymore"
Before retreating back to his perch like nothing happened
Forcing everybody to act like nothing happened like the little shit he is
Later on, Neil brings it up while hovering over his math textbook trying to memorize the last few equations and failing
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
Andrew ignores his question in favor of picking up a piece of paper and scribbling a bunch of numbers on it
“Solve this”
So Neil sighs, figuring he’s not going to get anywhere else tonight and solves the equation and hands it back to Andrew
But Andrew doesn’t take it, just raises an eyebrow and says “What did you get?”
And Neil reads out “286%” before realizing what it actually means.

I’m actually so ill about the fact that Andrew gave Neil the set of armbands and here’s why-
When Neil puts those one, his entire team will know that they’re covering up his scars. They’ll look at Andrew and suddenly see his own bands in a new light. Up until now Andrew hasn’t led anyone to believe he’s hiding anything under them besides his knives- but now that Neil is covered in scars, and now that he’s wearing identical armbands to Andrew- it wouldn’t take long to piece together why Andrew wears them.
Andrew didn’t just give him the armbands. He silently handed away his own cover from his teammates prying eyes. But he’d deemed Neil and Neil’s discomfort to be worth that. He sacrificed his own cover in favor of giving Neil a way to hide.

Okay okay jumping off this great post from @neilsexy about Nicky hate to also talk about my Riko thoughts.
I find the treatment of Riko by the fandom fascinating. Calling it The Azula Effect cuz it's just like how a lot of Zuko fans treated Azula.
Riko is an antagonist, a villain, yes. He's literally there specifically for you to hate, so if you hate him, he's fulfilled his narrative purpose. BUT! There's this weird puritanical pathologizing of Riko and Riko fans that our protagonists don't receive, which I think points to modern fandom's whole "evangelical conservative beliefs with a gay coat of paint" thing.
Riko is a villain, but he's also an abuse victim whose only outlet is abusing others (and he is encouraged to do so by his environment). He holds a terrifying level of power over the protagonists, which masks how little power he has over his own life.
Riko isn't a sadist for just for the fuck of it. There is a meaning to his cruelty. When he abuses people, it's an attempt to keep his delicate social standing and illusion of power--which is all he has--by discouraging his peers from acting against him. There is a meaning to Andrew's cruelty as well, and fandom is totally fine with you sympathizing with that meaning and still loving Andrew despite his violence... but that same fandom will discourage you from having any sympathy for Riko's meaning and treat him as some special case of Inexcusable. Not to say Andrew's actions are on par with Riko's, or to discount all the work Andrew did to grow, but there is hypocrisy there.
Folks will designate Riko as evil from birth rather than circumstance, saying a lot of shit that sounds very "mentally ill people are inhuman monsters" and "sinners can never be forgiven and will burn in hell for eternity." This whole idea of "good person vs bad person" instead of "good actions vs bad actions" is just unhelpfully reductive.
Also, the very force driving Riko is the desire of a traumatized kid to be loved by his family. But because his family are cruel mob bosses, the only means to gaining love he sees are through enacting that same cruelty. And the great tragedy of Riko, and what makes him such a compelling character to me, is that all of that cruelty he used as a shield and a plea couldn't protect him or garner him love in the end.
Riko never had a Wymack (an "Uncle Iroh" so to speak). He never had someone who believed in him, which is what made all the difference in the lives of the Foxes. Because Riko was born a Moriyama, he never had an escape or a second chance, and his life was never going to end in anything but a bullet to the head when he became a nuisance. That's the difference between him and our protagonists. Not some special evil gene that made him incapable of humanity. He was a traumatized and flawed human being just like the protagonists, but unlike them, he never had an opportunity to grow. I know I'm overly optimistic, but I believe that everyone can change if they have the drive and resources to do so. It's come from a hard reworking of my beliefs to move away from punitive justice and towards restorative justice. And it's a theme I found prevalent in AFTG.
So why aren't fans allowed feel sympathy for Riko? It feels like wildly missing the point of the series to insist he is the one exception to its themes. You don't have to excuse any of a character's actions to sympathize with them or believe they deserve a second chance.
