Pynch Fic Rec - The Raven Cycle
Close your eyes and shut your mouth
Five times Ronan slept at Adam’s, and the one time Adam asked him to.
If you could, than I could, I swear
Ronan dreams up a stone that changes color depending on who is touching it. The result is a crazy existential crisis that he is absolutely not documenting.
Let’s be reckless teenargers in love
It was like the shopping cart all over again.
Ronan only says it to piss off Declan. He doesn’t take into account what it will do to everyone else. (Or, that one where Adam and Ronan are fake dating.)
Adam Parrish is wantable, worthy of a crush, not just by anyone, but by everyone at school, apparently. Do you enjoy copious amounts of time jumps, cracky situations, POV shifting, unnecessary original characters, and Tad Carruthers? Then this is the fic for you.
Let’s get together before we get much older
Adam doesn’t know what compels him to make an attempt at finally finding out.
Does Ronan Lynch have a crush on me?
(Do I have a crush on Ronan Lynch?)
Otherwise known at the one where Ronan, Blue, and Noah visit Adam and Gansey at their university for the weekend.
It won’t ever get old, not in my soul
It was honestly an accident, just pure divine intervention, wrong place wrong time type shit. Or right time, depending on how you looked at it. And because of Ronan’s impeccable timing and lack of manners, he was looking at everything Adam had to offer.
Or basically, Ronan walks in on Adam naked. A character study of sorts.
I would be glad to tell you and walk away
The problem, when it came down to it, was that the longer he waited for Ronan to actually do something about how he felt, the more Adam wanted him to.
Simmer down and pucker up
He blinked and, behind the boat shoes and tan ankles, Adam’s face grew into sharp focus.
He was looking straight at Ronan.
His eyes were round, shocked into complete stillness. His cheeks were pink. One hand curled around grass, and Ronan watched, with a slow dawning of awareness, the way Adam’s knuckles grew white as he tightened his hold on the ground.
Cabeswater, Ronan realized. Cabeswater had taken his dream and shared it with the only other person who could ever be close enough to Cabeswater to see it.
Adam accidentally ends up in Ronan’s dream and Ronan is very Ronan about it and Adam is very Adam about it. Gansey is also briefly very Gansey about things.
Alternate summary: Adam has feelings and hyperventilates about it for 9,000 words.
Drive it like you stole it
“He wants you,” Gansey said bluntly. Adam sucked in a breath, feeling the words in his whole body. “I’m not saying Cabeswater can do anything about that. But I think it’s important to wonder if it might.”
Boys on fire never burn out
Ronan’s always Ronan. Even when he isn’t.
Roses in between my thighs
Four things that could have ruined them but didn’t.
Things to keep in mind when loving Adam Parrish
A mental list that Ronan carries as he progresses through his relationship with Adam.
One morning Adam wakes up to find that Ronan has cut himself on a sharp, heavy piece of stained glass he accidentally pulled from his dream. This gives them each different things to consider.
“If I had to have magic ritual sex with someone,” Blue said thoughtfully, “Ronan would be near the top of the list.”
“That is less helpful than you seem to think it is,” said Adam.
Adam and Ronan get snowed in at the Barns for a few days and it’s pretty much as disgustingly cheesy as you can imagine.
Ronan’s lungs feel tight. He’s not actually worried about what any of these idiots will think of him for being who he is. It’s just that it’s none of their fucking business. It’s that Adam’s whole survival plan hinges on going unnoticed in most places. Ronan knows that accepting the kindness of the ticket is a big step for him. Accepting Ronan himself is even bigger. It seems selfish to push for more. Also, dances are still stupid.
Declan wanted Ronan to stay overnight in the hospital, because Ronan’s head injury had been nowhere near bad enough to cause the kind of amnesia he had, and the doctors were worried. But Ronan outright refused, insisting that he return to Monmouth with Gansey.
Adam and Blue heard this from Gansey, out in the hall, since Ronan had demanded they leave the room. He’d stared at them with wide eyes, the closest to panicked Adam had ever seen him, and when Gansey had said “But–it’s Blue and Adam–” Ronan had snarled and snapped “Get out, I don’t fucking know you.”
It’s not a secret, not really; they don’t decide to not tell anyone. It’s just — no one else needs to know. It’s just theirs, whatever it is. He’s not ashamed or afraid. He thinks it might disintegrate if exposed to sunlight, and he’s not ready for that. Not yet.
Or: The one where they hook up sometimes. And it’s all casual, obviously.
“At first, I thought Gansey and I were doing something wrong. Then I realized that it wasn’t our problem at all! It’s you two. You can be jerks but you’re always touching, and kissing, and doing that annoying telepathic thing.” She scrunched her nose, “It’s kind of disgusting.”
Adam felt his face burn and immediately said, “That’s not true. We don’t- get off me, Lynch.” He pushed at Ronan who had been resting his head on his thigh this whole time.
Noah decided to pipe in, “Like she said. Disgusting.”
That was what made Adam and Ronan determined to prove that they could keep their damn hands to themselves.
Ronan’s been dreaming a lot about Adam lately.
For Adam and Ronan, fathers and poetry and love are heavy things, made more so by their necessity. But bodies, bodies are simple and can say twice as much.
Gansey is sick and tired of living in a world where Ronan hasn’t asked Adam out yet. And he’s got a plan to fix that.
Or: The one where Ronan, Adam, Gansey, Blue, and Noah all go on a vacation to the beach.
