Adam gets trapped in a time loop with a morbid twist and finds an unlikely ally in Ronan Lynch.
(The Time It Takes) To Believe In Fate by LydiaStJames
When he was 16, Adam walked into a forest in Henrietta, Virginia and exited in 1800s Ireland. The day he spent with the grumpy but attractive farmer lingered with Adam for years, but the forest didn't seem like it would appear again. That is, until Adam returned to Henrietta for his father's funeral and the forest calls him back once more.
Once and Future by @behindtheatlantic
Adam’s lying awake, grateful for his day off work, grateful that he gets to have this; watching the sun creep through the gap in the curtains and trace golden light across Ronan’s sleeping form. He can hear the birds in the hedgerow out back, he can hear the gentle rustle of the wind in the trees.
He can hear the clatter downstairs.
He can hear people talking in the kitchen.
Time Isn't Real (but you're a constant) by SpiritsFlame
Adam wakes up in the future, learns a few things about himself, about time, and about his priorities. But mostly he just wishes that Time was doing its job better.
Lethe, the Memory Eater by @flightspathfic
Declan kisses her fiercely, holding her tight against him and pressing into her with love and desperation. She kisses back, drinking it in, pulling from him everything that she can: the feeling, the immediacy, the passion, home, future, hope.
When they separate, their cheeks are wet.
“How long?” Jordan asks him.
“Seven weeks,” he says, running his hands over her shoulders. He pulls her back in closer, holding her tight. “We buried you seven weeks ago, and now I’m bringing you back.”
The Waters and the Wild by me @cheeeryos
Adam was looking forward to his year of fieldwork in Ireland. He had a small cottage to himself, a job rehabilitating seals at the Wildlife Rescue, and time and space to conduct his own research. What he definitely hadn’t signed up for was babysitting the mysterious man who never seemed to leave the beach.
Who was Ronan Lynch, anyways? What exactly was his obsession with the seals? And why did his sharp grin make Adam feel like he had been struck by lightning?

"This isn't a dream."
"It could be," Adam says, like he's offering something valuable, instead of lying to Ronan's face and asking him to lie to himself.

Ronan stumbles upon a very different kind of celebration while lost in the woods at night.

Word on the Street by @toast-the-unknowing
The first time Greywaren saves Adam's life, he's grateful and a little awestruck.
By the tenth time it happens, he's mostly pissed off.
Careful the Tale You Tell by @toast-the-unknowing
Ronan makes a deal with a witch.
It's okay, though. He'll never have to go through with his end of the bargain.
cry wolf, cry mercy by @crushpdf
Adam Parrish can play with time. He can also play with fire, and water, and lightning, and hearts. Ronan Lynch can’t do much, not with the nightwash that clogs his lungs. So when he stumbles into Adam at a Fairy Market, he catches a glimpse of a hopeful future, one told in tarot cards and palmistry, told in crooked smiles and warm hands. But after the first secrets start spilling like black dripping down a nose, Ronan and Adam will learn that the future is not gifted, it’s forged.
Something Unusual, Something Strange by @kelliealtogether
Ronan sells improbable fruits and vegetables at the local farmers' market. Then Adam shows up and starts selling improbable plants. Together, they might just end up being one heck of a team.
And Full As Much Heart. by unfortunatesideeffects
Adam Parrish has spent the last decade of his life at the Aglionby School for Boys, the latter five years as a teacher. At twenty-two, feet restless and mind yearning for more, he takes a position at The Barnes, a sprawling estate in Galway, as lush and green as the woods where he spent his childhood. His pupil is strange and her father, when finally he appears, stranger.
Adam has been poor and obscure all his life; he had hoped, with time, that he might resolve the first of these difficulties at least. What he had not planned for was the possibility of happiness, or its potential costs.
Search for the Unknown: The TERRIFYING Ghosts of Aglionby Academy by @werewolffeelings
Adam Parrish is not a ghost hunter, but thanks to one Richard Campbell Gansey III, he finds himself taking a weekend off in late June, not to catch up on sleep like he so desperately needs, but to spend it ghost hunting at a private boarding school in his shitty hometown that he had not managed to score enough scholarship money to attend.
Adam always finds himself wanting to please Gansey, even if it’s only so he can make out with Adam’s ex-girlfriend in the shadows of this ostensibly haunted old building. Even if it means he has to spend the evening with Ronan Lynch.
Two Point Perspective by me @cheeeryos
There are so many legitimate reasons for Adam Parrish to be stressed out. Stupid, insufferable, dreamy (wait, no, scratch that last one) architect Ronan Lynch should barely be a blip on his radar. But because Ronan Lynch is stupid and insufferable (and dreamy—wait, no, not that last one) he absolutely delights in driving Adam to his wit’s end.
So when Adam stumbles upon a real, huge, Actual Problem, of course stupid insufferable (dreamy) Ronan Lynch is there to make it all worse.
*Fleabag voice* This is a love ghost story.
there are bones in the foundation by @deathless--aphrodite
Ronan's house is haunted. Adam is an exorcist.
The Strangest Kind of Magic by @behindtheatlantic
Gansey has spent his life obsessed with the legendary lost king, Glendower. When tragedy burns through the life of his best friend, Ronan, Gansey decides that now, it’s more important than ever to find the long lost king, and to write their own story.
Together Gansey and Ronan set about retracing the final steps that Glendower took, but could a chance meeting with the mysterious mage of Cabeswater change their journey forever?
This is a story about curses, a story about magic, and a story about destiny.
who burns like fire on the rushing sea by asael
When Adam Parrish attends the Royal Academy, he doesn't expect to get tangled up with the nobility - and he especially does not anticipate Ronan Lynch. As he finds his place in the world, they grow closer, but nothing is ever easy.
Sic Semper by me @cheeeryos
The Kingdom of Henrietta is threatened by war. To protect his homeland, Prince Gansey sets off with his loyal guard captain, Sir Ronan Lynch, in search of a fabled sword with the power to bring dreams to life. On the road, they encounter a tiny but annoyingly competent adventurer-for-hire, a (somewhat) helpful spirit, and the most irritating magician in the world. Their quest leads them to a number of unexpected discoveries, and Ronan’s love and loyalty will be tested to the limits.
This is a tale of magic and romance, betrayal and forgiveness, and above all, belief in the truth of that old adage: that dreams do, occasionally, come true.
