Adam smiled cheerily. Ronan would start wars and burn cities for that true smile, elastic and amiable.

ok i know this picture is snk but also it’s ronan/adam i don’t make the rules
what present would adam give ronan in return for the hand balm?
fuckigngsafdas SHIT OKAY.
nothing tangible, I mean, nothing tangible would suffice; nothing material. it would take him a fucking long time to even really let everything the balm meant sink in, because he’s dealing with a lot, okay, and Lynch is a whole other ballpark that Adam can’t focus on yet. And he knows that Ronan doesn’t expect anything in return, which almost makes it worse; that Ronan has the capacity to give without expectations and without strings attached when Adam doesn’t, when everything Adam owns and has is precious because he’s fought so hard for every. little. thing.
but eventually when all the pieces add up - sometime after the moments they share during and in between doing everything they can to find solutions, even if those solutions are ugly and difficult, in between doing everything they can to save Gansey although Ronan still doesn’t know everything that’s at stake -
there’s a night when Ronan appears at Adam’s door which is nothing unusual, but he’s got that hungry look about him and he’s jittery at the edges like a tv signal going in and out of focus, and for once Adam’s not exhausted, for once he’s not fraying at the edges, and he sits Ronan down on his bed and makes them both hot cocoa, even though it’s a warm night. and he tells Ronan a story. it’s nothing incredibly special, and there’s lots of pauses as he stumbles over his words, and Ronan starts to interrupt and be snarky at the beginning and Adam tells him just listen, okay? and he does. and Adam’s not gifted with words the way Gansey is but when there’s something he needs to say, he finds a way, even if it’s halting and if he can’t find the right way to say it at first, but he eventually paints a picture; and it’s sloppy but it’s got elements of all of them within it, and it’s got pieces of Adam he’s lost along the way, sewn into the narrative carefully like gems into cloth. and it’s a story of kings and knights and witches and woods, and it’s the most honest Adam has been with anyone since he was a child hearing stories like this himself, and when he’s done Ronan is lying on his bed with half-lidded eyes looking less like a raging inferno and more like a hearth fire. and when Adam is done, neither of them say anything, but they lie for at least an hour in the dark together, arms pressed together and breathing synchronized, and he knows Ronan understands.
These are the tags I like to see in conjunction with each other
i wanna be yours by arctic monkeys is such a fucking cabeswaren song and i’m sdkfsdksefksfkds about it
Why are there only three posts on the #cabeswaren tag?
So honestly I think one of my favorite friendship pairings in TRC that I want to see a lot more is Blue & Ronan
like, Ronan is a prickly cactus to her at first because that’s who he is and also he’s threatened by her joining the gang and also worried about Adam getting hurt maybe and dynamics changing
But it’s pretty obvious how quickly he grows to like her; I mean the first time she comes to Monmouth he comes out to see her and asks if she wants to hold his baby, liiike he literally hands her a vulnerable part of him, and he fairly readily shows her that side of him too in TDT because he trusts her and because the other boys trust her and love her and so he does too. And obviously they still argue and get pissed off at each other and don’t see eye to eye but they get to a point where they GET each other and that’s what matters to both of them.
and like their interaction in the cave when he grabs her to make sure she doesn’t fall, and then at the end of BLLB where they’re alone together and he gives her his dream light, liiiiike
I’ve got a lot of feelings
also I don’t see Ronan really ever expressly coming out to any of them because it’s not something that needs to be said because they all know but I think if it were to be someone he might say it to her, kind of flippantly during part of another conversation, like “and anyway, I’m gay,” and there’s just a pause and then blue’s like “hi gay I’m blue” lol no I’m just kidding, but then she’d tell him that she thinks she’s probably bi although she’s still figuring it out and he asks her if she thinks Adam is bi too and she’s like idk, but if you’re really asking if he looks at you the same way you look at him then I think you already know the answer
anyway this is veering rapidly off track, but Blue & Ronan, Blue & Ronan hanging out with Noah and getting into shenanigans, Ronan teaching Blue to throw a hook, Blue teaching Ronan how clear space for a garden so Aurora has new real flowers to come home to, BLUE AND RONAN
