They get a phone call.
Andrew shows his phone to Neil—Aaron. Answers it. “What’s up? You’re on speaker. Neil’s here.”
“Good,” Aaron says. “I’m pissed at both of you.”
Andrew looks at Neil, panicking.
“You fucking assholes,” Aaron rails, not waiting for them to answer, sending Andrew into a visible spiral. “My wife doesn’t speak German!” Oh. “Freddie’s speaking half in German and my wife doesn’t understand a fucking word he says, you jackasses, what did you do?”
“Gave you a bilingual baby,” Neil says, grinning. “Like Angela.”
“Both of Angela’s parents are bilingual! Katelyn is not!”
“Teach her,” Andrew suggests, trying to keep himself under control. “Bonding time.”
“We’re both doctors! We don’t want to spend our bonding time with me teaching her German, that’s fucking dumb bullshit. Jesus. Bilingual baby. Hey. You guys have five years.”
“For what?” Neil asks.
“If in five years I don’t have the smartest baby in the neighborhood, I’m fucking coming after you. This had better pay off.”
“I mean, in five years, his competition will just be John,” Neil points out. “There won’t be any other babies in our neighborhood.”
“And John is stupid,” Aaron says thoughtfully.
“Is he?” Neil asks. “I’m honestly curious, I don’t know how smart babies are supposed to be.”
“I’m sure he’s fine,” Aaron says dismissively. “But. Five years, fuckers. Don’t think I’ll forget.”
“I’ll be sure to remember,” Andrew says solemnly.
“I’ll hold you to it. You’ll have to babysit him more often, you’re the only people who have a shot at understanding him right now, he’s pulling the same bullshit as Angela.”
Neil grins at Andrew. Andrew relaxes. He hasn’t ruined his relationship with Aaron. “We can handle it, probably.”
“Fucking better be able to. Okay. I’m leaving. Gotta try to get some sleep before my rude-ass baby wakes me up.”
“Sleep well,” Andrew says, stilted.
It takes Aaron a second too long. “You too.”
Andrew hangs up, before Aaron can consider saying anything else.
“Emotionally constipated,” Neil says, grinning.

Minyard-Josten BIOMY Home
This one is the most canon-compliant to the fic I could make it, going back a bunch of times to the flashback chapter where they first bought it and adding the extra rooms they mentioned wanting. Yes, it's extra big. Mostly because I had to fit two bathrooms with enormous bathtubs and Andreil's ridiculously big bed. It was super fun to build!
Individual posts for each house: [The Villa] [Aaron+Katelyn] [Allison+Renee] [Matt+Dan] [Kevin+Thea] [photoshoot]
(All images should be with good res to zoom in)
First detail I wanted to point out is the move of their chairs from the back porch to the front. Because the back now goes into the shared ring I felt they would enjoy more the privacy of the woods around the villa :)
It's mentioned many times how the downstairs rooms are weird and skinny because they closed the floor plan, and anytime you see a funky tile, blame it on the kids (foyer has Nat's water-like one)! Also, no white walls, keeping lighter colors on the down-stairs and darker upstairs.
Living room opens to a huge cat tree because they're spoiled. There's also much more decoration thanks to the art classes and the kids pressuring them to put more pictures out. (you can see them up close on the photoshoot link in the beginning of the post). The pictures include the twins at Nicky's wedding and the pict Dan sent them, and you can see grey and blue bouquets Andreil got each other <3
I can't actually change window glass colors but we know they're all colorful.
Ok, I know, but there's only so much you can do when the characters decide they must have fox-orange cabinets. There was an empty wall so they let Nat and Paige add some trees.
Yes. This is how big an Alaskan bed is. I looked it up. Andrew's corner has a motivacional cat poster his mom-therapist gave him for decor and Neil's has his mom's bones so I guess they match? Shout-out to Andrunior at the window and their super safe knife target.
Paige wanted a pink and gold color scheme, so I went along those lines. She's got her crocheting paraphernalia on the floor, and because I can't put stars on the ceiling there's a cute nightlight.
Why does Nat's room looks purple? because right by that green mirror there's a craft paper lamp, you can kinda see it on the floor plan. Nat's room is very artsy, with a mirror gallery and lot's of paintings on her desired black walls.
Now pretty much all the other rooms, left to right and top to bottom: the foyer (their blue period, with abstract art and a gothic rug), downstairs bathroom (full, in case Neil breaks a leg), guest room, kid's bathroom (the Jack-and-Jill sink outside), Andreil bathroom, and stairs landing. Neil and Andrew let the kids go wild with the tiles, and I love them for that. Very funky. Also, behold their basically-hotubs.
And finally, because I loved how they looked: their back porch, with bench and floor painted by the kids, and the wall that faces Matt and Dan's home, where Nat painted a mural. (also, all houses have recycling and regular bins just outside, thanks to Renee)
As always, inspired by the fic Blame it On My Youth, by @yourficstheyglow
#honestly loved adding the details#but it was also the one i began with so maybe i'd make different choices now#tell my why i only found out we can add 30 pics now instead of 10 when i already had these ready?#next one probably will have individual photos#aftg#all for the game#biomy#the sims 4#sims 4 build#the foxhole villa#I'll be posting the other houses the next few days

did you ever notice that arranged marriage AUs are the adult version of adoption fics? It's the same theme: the MC comes into the home of the second MC and needs to trust them not to hurt them, they are vulnerable and helpless. And then the MC finds out that the other MC is a nice person and that they protect them instead of hurt them. And they can finally live to their fullest potential and get a nice family on top of that.
#fics#writing#aftg#honestly look at BIOMY#and then look at my arranged marriage AU#it's the same topic#turns out I am trying to write about my family related trauma without having to write about kids#that's only a bit disturbing

hi! in your recent post you asked to do more recs. i have no idea if this is what you meant but can you rec the fics that just make you want to fall to your knees and moan? and not in a sexual way (though it could be) but more of a “holy shit i love them, this is fantastic, i can’t believe something like this exists and i get to witness it” kind of way. like for me, biomy makes my knees weak, just because of how much they love eachother (and the smut helps ofc >:)
Interesting wording there anon but I think I get what you mean SJJSJS. Here's some of my all time absolute favorites that make me think "holy shit I love them, this is fantastic, I can't believe something like this exists and I get to witness it":
Inked Truths by Paradoxolotl
Oh Inked my beloved, this is just a series that I treasure so much. I remember so clearly I had seen this cute meme about Brother of Mine and it was something like "ok I can do this, I can get through this without crying" - can't get through BOM without crying. And then I became friends with Para and THEN binged the entire series and god it's just so great (also the BOM alternate ending is totally my fault I'm sorry).
This is absolutely my favorite canon-divergence fic for AFTG and there's so many reasons why. Para is so incredible with the way they write their fics, how much care they have for their ideas and the amount of love they have for the original series. I have never read anything with more accurate characterization - if some fics are ooc, then this is the complete opposite. Not to mention the way they write Andrew's backstory as we walk through it, every single struggle from not just his POV, but from Aaron and Abram's as well.
And god, Abram is just so good in this too. Honestly this fic just gives me a whole new insight to Andreil, a whole new way to adore them, and I am quite frankly obsessed with it. I've only read one other fic with a slower burn than this one and I love you for it Para.
Also we get Greer which honestly is a whole reason in itself to have that sort of reaction :3
2. Artist AU by Fortheloveofexy
The artist au is just so amazing to me for a couple of different reasons. For one, you can just tell how much love Jess put into this one - if the fact that they drew art to go along with it didn't give it away, then the amount of detail and effort they put into Neil being an artist definitely should. At first you think this is going to be a cutesy artist short fic, but NO. They gave us some sequels that completely dive into Neil's past and how that trauma affects him as a person in the present and JFC IT SENDS YOU ON AN EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER.
And Jess too just puts so much into the characterization. It's so incredible and I adore it. The way certain events happen, how the story progresses, Neil's flighty-ness constantly clashing with his desire to stay...it's so perfect. You should at the very least read this for the art and stay for everything else!
3. In My Defense, I Have None by likearecord
A high-school AU with fake dating?? Sign me the hell up, this is literally everything I love rolled into one, and it only just keeps getting better. I have no idea how many times I've recced this by now, but this is one of my all time favorites and I reread it so often. Not only does it put a twist on fake-dating, but it gets a high school romance done so well while also keeping those essential aspects to the original characters that it makes me explode.
Not only that, but you don't have to worry about any sudden kidnapping or the past catching up to anyone. It's just these idiots and their own dumb decisions and I live for it. Not to mention this entire conflict could've been avoided if people literally just confessed their feelings instead of doing cartwheels around them, but honestly that's just what makes this fic even better, I'm literally begging you to read it.
4. Learning to be Human by coritkyo
This one I've only just gotten into (and it's incomplete) but holy shit I can't believe I didn't find it sooner. I'm absolutely obsessed with it. I won't say too much so as to not spoil things, but dear lord is it good. The author does an incredible job with the characterization, I'm obsessed with how everyone's dynamic works, and their worldbuilding is incredible. You might be left in the dark for a little bit, but there's a reason for it and I fuckinggggg love when that happens.
And I'm just obsessed with Neil in this one. Seriously, robot Neil is everything I never knew I needed before.
5. When the frost is in bloom by Silveriss
I don't know what exactly it is about this fic that gets me feral but it's just so good. The angst is peak, the descriptions are flawless and it just makes my heart ache in the best of ways. Silveriss writes these two so well, especially with everything that happens that I won't spoil. Winter Spirit! Neil and Author! Andrew, what more could we ever need? I am literally begging you guys to read it.
6. Touch me, love me, leave me by BakaDoll
The soldier Andrew fic. Honestly I'm sure most of us have read it by now but it needs to be said again: jfc this fic is so good. It's a long but well worth it read, and if you don't mind a bit of smut then you should definitely check it out. The author put so much effort into this one, and you know the idea that Andrew gets sent to the military rather than get court-ordered drugs kinda makes more sense (I'm sure anything makes more sense than the drugs but c'est la vie). These two dummies immediately being able to understand and work with each other while having to live together is perfection, and I love reading about how their relationship develops, too. It might start of as pure physical attraction - whatever excuses float your boat Andrew - but just their inside jokes and constant texting and caring about what matters to the other is so good.
7. Junk of the Heart by AmaliaIR
This one isn't that long but to me it just packed such a punch. So much is in it, so if you can handle a bit of angst you should definitely read it. Neil's heart condition finally becoming something he can't ignore, and yet his martyr complex still kicking in is so accurate it pains me. There is so much inner conflict and Amalia does such a good job with it, especially when attributing it to outside factors. Neil's constant flee vs. stay mentality is something we've seen countless times, but once again we get to see it differently, and Amalia just did incredible with it. So much research went into this fic too, I loved it so much!

Chapter 114 of biomy. I'm so close to caught up and I'm actually very sad about it now that it's approaching. Love these dumb boys and their amazing children with all my heart and soul.
Also, I am 29 with a 14 year old sibling and I cannot really imagine having them as my actual child, except that I tend to give the exact same leeway that Andrew and Neil do. I mean. Not that I can teach them about knives, I don't know shit about knives. But I let them cuss around me and listen to them talk about the weird horror twitch streams they watch and tell them to skip school when they're tired. I also have a total lack of authority but they came out to me first instead of of parents.
Idk I don't know what the point of this was, but I love Paige and Nat and my kids sibling and all of biomy.

The Foxhole Villa
I’d say anyone on the aftg fandom has at least heard of Blame It On My Youth, by @yourficstheyglow, at this point; if not read some of it. (I wouldn’t consider it spoilers but the post will contain info about the fic so idk)
Soon, the Foxes will be moving together and all the planning and descriptions of what each of them wanted in their houses got me inspired, so I present to you: The Foxhole Villa!
Individual posts for each house: [Minyard-Josten] [Aaron+Katelyn] [Allison+Renee] [Matt+Dan] [Kevin+Thea] [photoshoot]
(click on the image for better quality, you should be able to zoom in all of them)
Descriptions and pictures of the communal areas under the cut:
First of all, let us all use our imaginations and pretend there's actually woods around the lot. It was just the biggest one we have on Sims 4. The houses would also ideally be a bit farther away from each other but alas. Per Neil's request, their house faces the back; while Renison's is the first one with Kevin's right next to it when Andreil visits the construction. The other two I think I just guessed. All the houses have, of course, solar panels, and the playroom has wind turbines.
(again, just click to actually see it without tumblr butchering it.)
I like to think the two trees inside the inner ring (we didn't have curved walls when I built most of it so it's a rectangle) were native ones Renee refused to cut, so they planned around it. You can see a painted picnic table, yoga mats, a playground, and that green ring of chairs has an outside fireplace in the middle. Bottom-right picture is outside the ring, between the twin's house. I just thought Andrew could try his hand modelling bushes for the funsies. From the upper-view you can see Renee's garden between hers and Aaron's. All the glass around the ring is slightly green-tinted, like the mentioned plan for energy generation.
And it all lights up at night!
The shared space, as mentioned in the fic, includes a kitchen/dinning room and a movie room with Allison's so desired enormous TV. They have a Jack-and-Jill bathroom between them with two toilets (not gender specific). The sunroom can sit all 14 residents + 2 guests, not counting the bar stools, and the upper-floor of the playroom has some games. (the floor is courtesy of letting Nat and Paige have some fun with paint)
An inside view of the spaces. There is a puppet show stall in the movie room for the kids to play. I really like how the sunroom turned out!
And lastly: in case they're having guests, or want to go straight to the ring, instead of having to go through one of the houses there's a door between Kevin's and Renison's, with a koi floor art from Nat as reception!
#idk how tumblr is uploading these#honestly it was super fun building it all considering the descriptions and the characterization we have from the fic!#blame it on my youth#biomy#aftg#aftg build#the foxhole villa#all for the game#the sims 4#sims 4 build

Hi hello!!!
Which are your current fav andreil fic(s)!?
Much much love and support!! 💗
Hi Cookie! I'm honestly so behind on my fic reading lately and there are so, SO MANY amazing fics that I can't possibly list them all, but I greatly enjoyed quicksand. I also read each update of BIOMY by @yourficstheyglow every week.
If you haven't read Inked Truths by @paradoxolotl then you need to! It's so good, I love it. If achingly beautiful were a fic, it would be this one.
Also recently started reading Read Between The Lines by @butallmystars and I'm loving it so far!! Still only two chapters in but Eve has such a phenomenal writing style ❤️
That One Time Neil Ended Up In A Fairy-Tale by @jingerhead. Jinge has some of the best plotting and fantasy adventure writing I've seen. I enjoy every second of this series, every time I read it.
There's a long queue in my bookmarks of fics I still need to read, but these are some of my all-time favorites!
