Pain is real, but so is hope chapter 4 on AO3

Jean used to have hope for finding his soulmate, until Riko tortured that hope out of him. When he joins the Trojans, Jean discovers the captain of his new team is supposed to be his soulmate, but Jean has been conditioned to believe he is unfit to be anyone’s soulmate. (A JereJean soulmate AU for @runwiththewolf)

as the ultimate Lynch expert on all things irish catholic siblings - how do you think Ronan’s coming out to Declan would go down? and do you think Maggie will include in TDT (given how she hasn’t made ronan’s sexuality ‘explicit’ part of his storyline)?

Okay so to start off, I 100% think that Declan already knows that Ronan is gay. People who like Declan definitely gravitate towards ignoring that that scene where his like brow tightens or some shit when he sees Ronan put his legs on Adam because it’s not exactly glitteringly pristine allyship on his part. 

I also think it’s sort of crazy to decry Declan as being a homophobe, as people who don’t like him are prone to do. Whether people are good people or not, nobody lives in a vacuum devoid of cultural influence, particularly rich white teenage boys. It seems wild to be like “well we KNOW Declan is a liberal” when we literally only know that from extrapolating from a single offhand line in TDT, but like, we know that Declan is a liberal, so I’m going to cross “raging homophobe” off the list to begin with because on top that, it’s just an inconsistent choice with the way his character is written overall. 

The way I normally read that scene isn’t exactly in a way that’s super stellar for Declan either, but I think it has to do more with ronan and declan’s idea that the other is always trying to go out of their way to antagonize the other. As absolutely shitty as it is, my number one interpretation for that scene is probably that Declan was thinking “wow i guess ronan is gay just to cause a scene to inconvenience ME personally” (I think it’s more complicated than that, for the record. There’s probably a lot of things at play including unfortunate Catholic reflexes, an unreasonable feeling of being betrayed because Ronan didn’t tell him and never will want to tell him, and the concern of having a brother who is already depressed and dangerous an suicidal and knowing that this is going to mean more conflicts he has to deal with. More things too probably). Which is stupid obviously, and if he’s even aware of the fact that he thinks that, Declan would probably even be aware that that’s totally stupid and unreasonable. But also completely in line with the Lynch Bros antagonism pre-TRK. Ronan thinks everything Declan does is to be overbearing and controlling for no other reason, and Declan thinks everything Ronan does is to make a scene and rebel. This is going to become less of a thing post-TRK after they’ve both realized that they have their own shit they’re coping with, but you also don’t just stop feeling their feelings

This all leading to a coming out that I think probably doesn’t happen. I wouldn’t dismiss the possibility entirely, but in my mind, he just Exists as a Gay Man With a Boyfriend openly and in a way that dares Declan to comment on it. Which ofc Declan is aware of and he already knew Ronan was gay and their relationship is already fragile enough, so he barely comments it. But it also doesn’t help with the idea that Ronan is trying to antagonize him. Anyway, this definitely culminates in an argument eventually that frankly either of them could have started, but hopefully clears the air but also knowing them… probably does not, but works out EVENTUALLY anyway. 

Basically TL;DR: I think it probably doesn’t go perfectly because people don’t react to things perfectly, least of all Declan Lynch, but not like, awfully. 

I kind of doubt this comes up in TDT because I frankly just don’t think that coming out scenes are something that would really interest Maggie in terms of writing? Unless it’s overlapping with other forms of character growth and conflict, or somehow involves magic, which, let’s face it, are pretty real possibilities.

heyaa! have you got any good fic featuring our favorite boys + dealing with being out and in love at aglionby ? thaaanks!

Okay, so there actually weren’t as many of these as I expected! I think it’s mainly because a lot of writers immediately have Ronan drop out post-canon and Adam and Ronan are generally pretty private people. That being said, most of these have them being out, but not like out out.

Also, the first two fics are Sheila’s picks/comments!

Hallowed Halls by andchaos

1,220 words, Not Rated

This one is short but p cute and i've been wanting a reason to rec it.

Promises You Can’t Keep by Pigzxo

5,250 words, Explicit

“boning in a bathroom in aglionby?“ Out of the info Sheila sent me about this fic, that’s the quote I’m going with.

These Final Hours by QueenRiza

5,763 words, Teen

Adam and Ronan go to prom and it’s cute and awkward and in-character!

Petitions Solve Everything by kiiouex

3,223 words, G

Gansey and Henry are on a mission to get the school to let Adam and Ronan go to prom together, regardless of whether Adam and Ronan want to go to prom.

All I Hear Is Your Song by momebie

15,618 words, Teen

Adam and Ronan go to a school dance together! (Can you guess what tag really worked for finding these recs yet?) Also, this was written well before the series was finished, so it doesn’t follow canon.

A Sound of Thunder by QueenSabriel

64,209 words, Mature

Okay so this fic has three caveats: it’s altered-canon, it’s a wip, and the Adam and Ronan being out stuff happens fairly well into the fic. That being said it’s an enjoyable read so far if you’re looking something more plot intensive too!

Hopefully you enjoy those recs!

runwiththewolf replied to your post “Listen I am weak af and can’t fight but I would die trying to defend...”

BIG MOOD - people forget that a) every single fox has done shitty things at some point why they do all get a pass and aaron doesn’t b) we read the whole series wearing Josten googles and Neil doesn’t like Aaron so of course it seems like he is the worst

YESSSS!!!! and I’m sorry but if you're able to forgive all the other foxes for the mistakes they've made (and wymack because ummm he has said some fucked up things too) then you can not condemn aaron for those same things. half the shit people hate aaron for the other foxes have done as well so I’m just?????? why doesn't anyone try and understand my boy
