    Summary

    Adam has begun dreaming of Ronan. She can't tell if it's Cabeswater's influence or just the product of a restless mind, but the dreams are getting more vivid, and it's been harder and harder to resist temptation.

    Whatever danger was causing these new anomalies in the woods was a preferable thought sequence than the one in which she remembered Ronan dragging her lips across her neck, Ronan whispering breathlessly in her ear, Ronan gripping her hair.
    She practically bolted out of the Camaro when they pulled into the Monmouth lot. 8 hours in the warehouse was preferable to another ten minutes in that car.
    Still, she thought about Ronan’s arms for almost the entire time.

    Summary

    Poetry isn’t something that comes easy to Adam Parrish, not even if a class assignment requires it of him.
    He probably shouldn’t be surprised to discover that Ronan is, instead, great at it. After all, Ronan Lynch lives to defy expectations.

    Summary

    “Everything in this world requires a heart in trade. There's no such thing as a good bargain.” post-The Raven King AU. Gansey came back wrong. Blue finds her way in the aftermath.

    ****

    Un-beta'd. I admit that the dispersed nature of fandom these days defeats me.

    Summary

    Gansey gave a lot of speeches, just after her breakup, and it seemed to be very important to her that Ronan hear them. “True love,” they invariably started, her looking wistfully at nothing in particular, “can mean a lot of things. My life is better for having Jane in it, and I expect that to continue to be true. There’s no reason that that can’t be true love on its own.” Which struck Ronan, more than anything, as an excuse for having had something handed to her on a silver platter and managing to fuck it up anyway.

    Summary

    The Third Sleeper and its minions have been defeated, and Glendower's favor has been won, but it doesn't feel like a victory. Too much was lost in the winning, and Ronan has lost more than he thinks he can bear.

    But there is far more to being the Greywaren - and far more to Cabeswater - than Ronan could ever have imagined, and there is a strange and desperate hope to be found in an old folk song and in the answer to one very simple question: Why do the trees speak Latin?

    Summary

    Adam was staring at himself. Or, a dream copy of himself. Down to the loose t-shirt and threadbare jeans, it was him.

    Oddly enough, Adam’s first thought was, 'is that what I look like from the side?'

    *******************************************************

    Ronan has nightmarish versions of an Adam that knows his second secret, a version that is nothing short of disgusted by it. But when the real Adam Parrish sees the dream creature, he sets out to prove Ronan wrong.

    Summary

    It was, Adam thought, as if he had been living in a world of black and white and Henry, jarringly, was like a sudden splash of over-saturated color, a rush as potent as any drug.

    Summary

    Ronan had barely turned around when Adam grabbed him, pushed him against the door, and kissed him.

    This time, it was not a gentle peck.

    (Or, the one with four gentle, chaste kisses and one not so gentle kiss; for the prompt hot, steamy kiss and gentle peck)

    Summary

    Kings and dream thieves have tried, before, to find the stone that could revive the dead. Only a Greywaren could retrieve it, however, and only with the will of Cabeswater at his side.
    (Ronan and Adam venture into the dream world in an attempt to find something that could save Gansey.)
    (I reworked the entire plot of the Raven King, basically, but obviously since these are not my books, there are likely a lot of plot holes and inconsistencies and gaps. This is really just an excuse to write Pynch get together in a different way than they did in TRK... so, you know, I apologize for any plot issues.)

    Summary

    Everyone you love is doomed to suffer, because of you, in spite of you, because of every blasphemous thing you are, and you can't stop it.

    You bury it, deep down, with the boy you used to be.

    Summary

    When they reach Adam’s floor, Ronan follows him to his room, always a few paces behind. Inside, Adam reaches for the lightswitch as the door falls back behind them but Ronan grabs his hand. For a moment, the panic returns. Ronan is going to murder him in his dark hotel room. But of course he doesn’t. Of course he just lifts Adams hand to his mouth and very gently kisses his palms, then his knuckles, then the pads of his thumbs. He speaks very softly. “God, I missed you."
