Andrew: i'm upset. nothing will make me feel better.

Neil: *enters the room*

Andrew: by the unruly fate the cruel world has given me, blinded by the shining light that is Neil Josten, fallen victim to his sinister tricks, i am no longer upset.

[phosphenes-in-night]

I love how every aftg fic has Sir and King in it. Like, you could read about Neil and Andrew being dark mafia boyfriends and tearing someone apart limb from limb and then having passionate (very explicit) sex but in the next chapter, they’re adopting kittens and being this pure, hella cute couple.

[greyareaofconfusion]

you can give me a fic with the most ridiculous unbelievable circumstances in which andreil meets and gets together and I will be like “yeah okay sure why not” but when I see a break up andreil fic I instantly go “well that is so unrealistic like it would never happen what the fuck”

I wish I could properly convey to you the way I screamed when I read this I think I might actually cry

Worlds Apart

[imgoingtoeatyourknees]

Blue, mad at Orla: Gansey how do I get revenge

Gansey: the best revenge is forgiving and living well

Blue, now mad at Orla and Gansey: Ronan, how do I-

Ronan: knife.

hi! since u mentioned it, what are your fave trc au's (not necessarily pynch)?

These are all going to be Pynch because I don’t really read for any other ship lmao. I already have an AU fic masterlist here so you should check that out first, but I haven’t updated it in ages so here are some more favorites!

Came in Like a Thunderstorm by renlybaratheon (M, WIP, 155k)  (First of all read everything by this author, she is the queen of AU’s)

Notting Hill AU! Mentioned this in the other list but I have to again. Adam as a famous actor and Ronan as a bookstore owner and it has tween Opal who is snarky and hilarious, an all time fave.

don’t take the money by renlybaratheon (T, Completed, 118k)

10 Things I Hate About You AU! Also already mentioned but it’s one of my absolute favorites. This fic is really funny and adapts the movie beautifully and Pynch’s dynamic in it is wonderful and fun to read and there is so much tension I love it. 

i’ll be there for you by renlybaratheon (M, WIP, 51k)

F.R.I.E.N.D.S. AU with Pynch as Monica/Chandler and the whole arc of them keeping it a secret and the rest of the friends finding out, it’s really amazing so far!

you came out of nowhere by renlybaratheon (T, One Shot, 15k)

A wrong number AU and my absolute favorite fic about Pynch falling in love over text/social media/etc. 

should’ve left my phone at home (‘cause this is a disaster) by shinealightonme (T, One Shot, 4.5k)

Adam works at the Apple store and Ronan keeps breaking his phone in ridiculous ways. One of my favorite meet cutes. 

come out of the cupboard, you boys and girls by shinealightonme (T, One Shot, 5k)

Roommates + accidental baby acquisition AU! Super cute & funny.

Word on the Street by shinealightonme (T, One Shot, 7k)

Superhero AU where Ronan as the Greywaren keeps saving a very put out Adam who is working as a journalist. 

I’ve Got You Under My Skin by shinealightonme (T, One Shot, 11k)

Tattoo Parlor AU where Ronan is a tattoo artist and works with Blue and Henry, and Adam comes in to get a tattoo.

darling, don’t make such a drama by shinealightonme (T, One Shot, 20k)

Ronan is a bartender at a restaurant where Adam comes in for a failed date every week. Not strictly Pynch, has a lot of Ronan/Henry/Blue friendship and bonding too! 

I wanna hold your hand by tinyarmedtrex (M, WIP, 6.5k)

College AU where Pynch are best friends and Ronan is pining after Adam. Uses some of my favorite slow burn tropes and is really cute thus far.

Say You Won’t Let Go by ungoodpirate (T, Completed series, 14k)

Series of three fics where Pynch first meet at a party, later including their established relationship. I love the first two parts especially!

Screw Poetry, It’s You I Want by intertwiningsouls (T, WIP, 10k)

Adam is dealing with a crush on his best friend Ronan and getting notes from a secret admirer in his locker. Super adorable. 

go on, I dare you by emmerrr (T, Completed series, 10k)

Series of two fics with masseuse Adam, and Ronan coming in as a client with a bad back. Second part is their first date. Really cute!

not that damn impossible by douxamer (E, One Shot, 16k)

Non Magical AU where Pynch become friends earlier than they do in canon and Ronan’s family is alive. Great friends to lovers fic. 

Teachers by mamaw_mccall (T, Completed series, 7k)

Teacher AU, a series of two fics where Adam teaches science, Ronan teaches Latin, and of course all the students ship them. 

10 yards to go by ListenOak (M, WIP, 35k)

Very close to canon except Ronan and Gansey are on the football team. The slow burn between Adam and Ronan is so good.  

[crimeronan]

one of those AUs where adam and ronan meet on college campus except

ronan isnt a student. hes a weird reclusive farmer with wicked tattoos who always shows up shirtless in muddy boots to deliver supplies to the agricultural department. the man has no phone number, email, or social media accounts. his only contact info is the mailing address for the barns. hes the local campus cryptid because theres always a massive fucking BIRD chilling on his shoulder and some students swear up and down theyve seen him doing wheelies at 3 AM in the abandoned lot by the now-defunct former office building

adam IS a student. adam is the most tired student alive and hasnt spared much more than a passing thought for the tattooed campus farmer cryptid because none of his classes are anywhere near the agricultural center and his head is so crammed with jobs and schedules and studying and extra credit and so much other nonsense. adam is approaching cryptid status himself because the only financial indulgence he allows himself is stupidly strong coffee and energy drinks with warnings from the FDA on the label. theres a rumor that hes a vampire and also a rumor that he sold his soul to the devil and thats why he never sleeps and also a rumor that the devils the one in debt to him

if you just saw adams dorm room youd think he bought out a gardening center or was at least studying botany but the truth is he takes flower pots as payment for tutoring sessions so he can carefully rescue plants he finds crying out to him. its not weird that he knows when a shrub edging a hiking trail is dying and its also not weird that he knows exactly how to transplant it somewhere safe and give it the right amount of water and sunlight to survive without so much as a google search. probably everyone can do that and also, shut up

adam throws his windows wide one night before he goes to the library for a cram session so that itll be cool when he snags a nap between 6AM and his 8AM class. after all hes on the second floor and its not like he has anything except plants, incredibly ratty secondhand textbooks, and a floor littered with empty monster cans that look like nuclear waste capsules. hes not that worried about being robbed

as he gets back and is walking blearily down the hallway with the weaving gait of the drunk or chronically exhausted, theres this SCREAM. adams whole body freezes. his heart climbs into his throat. he hasnt had reason for a fight-or-flight reaction in ages and his instincts say flight but his head says what the fuck

the scream definitely came from his room. as he slowly sets his backpack down on the hallway floor theres a thump and some muffled swearing. adam draws his fuckoff gigantic eight hundred page hardbound sociology textbook from hell out of the backpack and holds it above his head in one hand as he silently turns the doorknob and throws the door wide

lo and behold. shirtless farmer man is inside. in an ideal world thered be a charged pause where adam appraises the musculature and sharp outlines of ronans tattoos while ronan appreciates the fact that this random nerd can apparently deadlift the largest book of all time onehanded like its nothing

however. in this world shirtless farmer man has one muddy boot on adams rolling desk chair (rude, and also dangerous) and the other on adams cluttered desk (UNCONSCIONABLE). also theres a giant indignant bird chilling wings half spread on the lip of adams highest hanging flowerpot but thats the last thing on adams mind because DESK

“GET OFF MY PSYCH NOTES” adam yells

ronan throws a disbelieving glance over his shoulder before returning to operation: retrieve giant indignant bird. “i am KIND OF in the middle of something”

“youre stepping on my PLANNER”

“boo hoo”

“its COLOR CODED”

ronan clearly doesnt appreciate the gravity of the situation. all this aesthetic plotting and careful tabulating of post-it reminders ruined. adam clearly doesnt appreciate the campus cryptids bird choosing tonight and his open window of all windows to go feral in

probably things could continue in this fashion for a while because the bird appears to have no intention of leaving. there is a challenge in its posture. its like looking at a cat with a twitching tail tip

but adams so goddamn tired and his scheduled ninety minute nap window is shortening with every passing second and the fact that there havent been any plant casualties yet is a miracle and he doesnt want flowerpots to start smashing

so he sets his textbook on the floor and steps inside. “can you just be chill”

“i” — ronan starts, but then chainsaw moves and ronan has the sudden realization that nerd boy was not addressing Him. the reason ronan knows this is because chainsaw is now hanging out in nerd boys hair like its a nest. ronan knows from experience that chainsaws claws are exquisite little razors but nerd boy does not appear phased at all

“cool” says adam. “thanks for dropping in but nows not a great time.” he is still not addressing ronan

chainsaw huffs and ruffles up her feathers and spends a minute combing her beak through adams hair looking for snacks and then she flaps her way onto ronans shoulder

ronan looks at adam

adam looks at ronan

ronan looks at adam

adam looks at ronan

“what the fuck” ronan says

[this-vicinityof-insanity]

Opal *points at Chainsaw*: Halloween Eagle

Ronan: no-

Adam: just let her talk. She’s on to something
