#julie and the phantoms #gilmore girls #ao3 writer #youtube #send me asks #the oc #13 reasons why

“Love you!”

The two little words hit Ilya in the chest like a ton of bricks. He freezes, trapped just over the threshold of the house that’s started to feel uncomfortably close to home. Or not home really, not heavy with expectations he can never quite meet, but real – safe – the way he imagines a home is supposed to feel.

“Ilya?” Yuna’s voice is gentle, but there’s a question there, something unsure, teetering on the edge of concern.

And Ilya is aware, vaguely, that there is absolutely no reason for it to be quite so hard to breathe right now. He’s been here before. He has stood in this doorway about a thousand times now as Yuna Hollander shouted her love after Shane with the uncomplicated ease of someone who has said the words a million times and knows, with unquestionable, unconditional certainty, that she will say them over and over again until the end of time.

It's just – Shane isn’t there.

this means more than you know

I’ve come to the conclusion that I can’t listen to new music ever because all it does is give me ideas for more stories I won’t ever have time to write.

#writer life #*sighs dramatically*#i guess i’m just meant to suffer

No but the natural progression from this:

"But most of all, I choose the person who inspires my heart. Which is why I picked a school that’s exactly 32.7 miles from you."

to this:

“And plus as an added bonus it’s really close to here.”

“22.8 miles”

“How’d you know that?

“Do you Yahoo?”

“You looked it up.”

“I just hit a couple buttons on the computer.”

“You looked it up.”

I was thinking about the Zombies 4 vampires, and…

Point 1: they’re so sheltered from other societies that they assume everyone else also sleeps in the traditional vampire style of beds, while completely unaware that others would call that bed shape “coffins” and use them only for dead people. “What are coffins?” This would require a very strong ignorance of human media in general. Think about it. Really think about how many different forms of news, art and stories could clarify the coffin thing.

Point 2: despite this isolation and ignorance, they and the Daywalkers are at least passingly familiar with some human stories about vampires. The vampires take pride in being “living legends” to the rest of the world compared to the unknown Daywalkers and Ray uses the name “Count Dracula” mockingly, rejecting that they’re as great and powerful as outsiders might believe.

By the way, it’s interesting that those human fictions are so inaccurate in this universe. Although not entirely. The novel Dracula, for example, gets right that vampires are nocturnal but not harmed by sunlight; can fly (in some way); have some kind of air/weather-related power (turning into mist vs controlling wind); are deterred by garlic; and sleep in coffins. It got wrong that they are undead (probably), can turn into bats, mind-control people and are evil and drink exclusively human blood. It’s possible that over the centuries, the odd humans got a glimpse of Shadyside and made a few observations, but assumed out of fear of the unknown that the Different Looking people here were murderous monsters instead of, you know, talking to them, and then went home to contribute to the humans’ vampire lore.

Anyway! Conclusion: most of the vampires’ knowledge of humans probably comes from human characters in our vampire stories. And they filled in the gaps by projecting their ‘normal’ culture. The only real human they’ve got to know is Addison, who is a “part-alien cheer thing” and not an indicative sample. (E.g. the average human is not nearly so good at ending discrimination. Social Reforms Addy is an outlier and should not be counted.) This is going to lead to some fun misunderstandings!

My personal theory is that given the vampires penchant for severe punishments, many vampires throughout history had actually been banished, cut off from their people and only food source. Therefore all human myth’s related to vampires could be based around the brief glimpses caught of those likely solitary and desperate few. Perhaps those vampires even experimented with drinking blood as an alternative to starvation.

It would explain humans having some basic idea of accurate vampire culture. It would also explain the vampire’s only understanding of the outside world being related to the human’s observations of these outcasts, since they would be undoubtedly be infamous in Shadyside and used as an example of what would happen if you stepped out of line.

Ryan Atwood Centric Fic Recs

Seventeen Birthdays

A short fic of Ryan, with a little help from Taylor, reflecting on what it means to suddenly have been a Cohen for more than half his life.

remember to let her into your heart

The thing about domesticity is: you never completely understand what’s happening until it happens.

Ryan/Taylor fluff

is a heavy heart too much to hold?

She sat on their bed with the box in her lap, just staring at the contents. Some pictures, a sweatshirt, ticket stubs. Memorabilia from a lost love. From a lost life.

It broke her heart.

More Ryan/Taylor fluff, past Ryan/Marissa

Fall of the Sparrow

Post season 1 Ryan reflecting on his life, absolutely beautiful writing

Exposure

Ryan didn't like photos, not really. Not even looking at them, and definitely not posing for them.

Ryan and the Cohens

Homecoming

It's Thanksgiving and Ryan's driven his graduation-present truck, used, he insisted, home.

Ryan and the Cohens

Give it Away

Ryan knows nothing comes for free

This one is a little darker so read the tags. Ryan and Sandy centric. Early season 1.

“if you weren't real i would make you up"

Tell the truth, but tell it like it’s a lie.

Ryan Atwood grows up, and his relationships grow up with him.

Post series Ryan, Seth & Summer

slow down, we've got time left to be lazy

In the end, the long and short of it was that their boys called.

Their sons called, and in a month they’ll be off to college, and who knows how many more times they’ll get this, the opportunity to rush to the rescue, to be their parents.

How long they’ll still have the sweetness of the belief that their parents will fix anything.

Of course they’d gotten on the plane.

Sandy Cohen, series finale and (just) beyond.

Magpie

Going fast enough, there was motion to it, and shape. The wires dipped in-between the poles, then curved back upward, then back down again - a never ending parabolic curve, like a child's drawing of ocean waves. He would imagine different creatures running on top of the wires - tigers, pandas, lions, cheetahs, or even a little miniature version of himself - running and leaping, keeping up with the car. He'd follow the horizon this way too - holding up one of his toy army men and lining up its legs with the line where the land met the sky. On the interstate, outside of the city, driving past farms and craggy hills and suburban enclaves, bunches of houses crowded up in little clusters like fungus erupting through the cracks in a tree's bark - everything looked like a toy. Like he could roll down the window and just scoop everything up, pull the whole world inside to look at it closer.

More Ryan reflecting on his life, more beautiful writing.

I Come From Chino (where the asphalt sprouts)

“Did you ask because you want your dad to be involved, or because you don’t?” Kaitlin asks, and Ryan can’t quite meet her eyes.

“I’m not—I don’t—it’s not my decision, Kaitlin, I don’t—”

“Ryan,” she says softly.

“He’s a shitty dad, okay?” Ryan says. “It’s not—I don’t—I just don’t want him to fuck up another kid.”

Ryan has some concerns about his new baby brother.

Ryan & Kaitlyn fluff

everything is gonna change.

Their last moments as a family of four, and their first as a family of five.

Kirsten & Ryan centric

cut me out and color me in

Ryan meets Taylor Townsend his second week in Newport.

He’s not entirely sure what god he pissed off to deserve it, but someone out there definitely hates him.

Season 1 AU

the homes we make

Sandy and Kirsten move Ryan into the dorms at Berkeley.

Ryan and the Cohens fluff

My Broken House Behind Me (and good things ahead)

“Taylor wants to have kids,” Ryan says one day, as he sits at the kitchen counter, watching Sandy make dinner.

or Ryan and Taylor open their home and their hearts to a couple of foster kids and make themselves a lovely little family.

And a little bit of self promotion:

Hey, Mister No-Name Kid, So Who Might You Be (And Could You Fight For Me?)

He wants to run; he wants to claw off his skin and get as far away as possible from this body that had put that fear in someone else’s eyes. And that’s the thing about punching people, Ryan knows a little too much about what it’s like to be on the other end of things.

or Ryan has some complicated feelings about violence and Seth is a good brother.

Wake Me Up When It’s All Over (When I’m Wiser and I’m Older)

But then there’s the relief, because, well, wasn’t this supposed to be the easy part? Growing up? Wasn’t this supposed to be the thing that just, kinda … happens to you? He’s pretty sure he wasn’t supposed to have to fight for it, that he wasn’t supposed to have to survive.

or Ryan doesn’t really mind having grown up.

Through the Warmth, Through the Cold, Keep Running Till We're There (We're Coming Home Now)

Ryan leaves a message, saying, “Call me back, man, your parents are worried sick,” even when what he wants to say is, “You’re a fucking idiot. You think I wanted to leave?” or maybe, “You have everything, dude. Everything. Don’t throw it away for me. I’m not worth it.”

or Ryan and Seth the summer after season 1.

If I’m Lying Here, Will You Take Me Home

It didn’t stop him from wanting, but it stopped him from having. And having was dangerous because it left you with a lot more to lose.

He lays awake at night on the thousand thread count sheets, listening to the melody of crashing waves outside his window instead of the sound of crashing plates in the kitchen, and pinches himself because this must all be a dream.

There are tiny bruises up and down his arms for weeks.

or early season one Ryan learns to trust this family that’s taken him in, even if he still can’t figure out why they did it.
