For the snippet ask 💕💕💕 👀 but bonus if it’s not an NSFW place.😘

thanks for the aaaask!! if its pynch its gotta be hands. no nsfw under the cut. more sleepy Adam cause thats the vibe today apparently. 💕 kissing somewhere other than lips Send me a heart prompt!

Ronan was still amazed that Adam could sleep through this much chaos. They were on a flight back to Virginia, going to the Barns for the holidays to meet everyone - Declan, Jordan, Hennessy, Matthew, and even Blue, Gansey, and Henry. About ten seconds after they boarded, Adam put his cheek on Ronan’s shoulder and fell asleep. About three hours into the flight, Ronan managed to wedge the hood of his sweatshirt beneath Adam’s head to give him a bit more cushion. He was normally bored out of his mind on flights, knee bouncing up and down, flipping through channels on the grainy television on the back of the seat in front of him, draining the battery on his phone, desperate for some stimulation. But Adam grounded him, he always did, and even just this little contact held him still. 

He threaded their fingers together on the arm rest between them, had silently thanked the flight attendants for their whispered questions so as not to disturb Adam, but nothing did. Not the crying baby ten rows back, not the multiple rounds from the flight attendants, not the hour of turbulence or the announcements from the pilot, not even the in cabin lights turning on and the chaos of getting ready to land. 

As they descended, Ronan squeezed Adam’s hand, lifted their joined hands to his lips and kissed his palm, his wrist, his thumb. 

Adam inhaled deeply as he came awake, leaning back and stretching with his eyes closed, but he kept their hands joined, giving Ronan’s a squeeze. 

“How much longer?” he mumbled, his thick as honey Henrietta accent always around when he just woke up. 

“Ten minutes,” Ronan said, smiling at Adam’s confused expression. “You slept the whole flight.”

“What?” Adam rubbed his temple, squinted down at his watch - the dreamt one that Ronan gifted him all those years ago, which adapted to their new timezone seamlessly. “Are you serious?” he asked, but it sounded more like aryoosrsh when it was sandwiched between a yawn and another stretch. 

“Yep,” Ronan said, ruffling the hair on the right side of Adam’s head that was pressed flat from resting on Ronan’s shoulder for six hours. “Good dreams?” 

Adam leaned his cheek into Ronan’s palm, eyes closing again as if he were going to fall asleep just like that. He sighed happily, smiled, and nodded. “Yeah, good dreams.”

adam lizardson parrish you are always having your angry country girl moment in my head….. as someone who got cheated on, divorced, and broken up with by three separate people in the span of like a year you didn’t slash nearly enough tires or break enough car windows baby boy

[vague-homosexual-crimes]

“The thing was, Ronan knew what a face looked like, just before it was about to break. He’d seen it in the mirror often enough. Adam had fracture lines all over him.”

The tamquam alter idem of this line

[lizpaige]

friends w benefits au works so well for pynch and lemme tell you why. because adam is so convinced that he doesnt deserve love and is too fucked up to love ronan how he thinks ronan deserves and ronan is soooooo in love with adam that he thinks if he cant be adams boyfriend he’ll take whatever he can get until it hurts them both too much and they break it off only to realize theyre both in love and stupid. like the drama and miscommunication andandand its all so on brand for them i swear

[tigtree]

pls drop the trc x outsiders au 🙏🏻🙏🏻

i got you 🫡

In this AU, Ronan and Gansey are upper-class Socs, Adam and Blue are working-class Greasers. Noah floats somewhere in the middle- he should be Soc, his family are rich enough, but he plays the role of Johnny in a way. He was beaten by other Socs (Whelk), and it was Blue and Adam who found and helped him, and so he sticks around.

The fic i'm writing for this AU begins when Ronan's parents die, and he and his brothers are left without much money. Ronan has to work, and ends up at Boyd's Garage with Adam. They're wary of eachother at first- too aware of the class divide- though they grow closer as the story progresses.

Gansey was friends with Ronan before his parents died, and so he sticks around. Gansey comes to collect Ronan from work, and recognises Adam from a college fair type of event- Adam wants to get out of town, and works to raise money for college.

(snippet of fic below)

"Yeah, but what really separates us?"

Blue frowns, like she can't believe he's seriously asking. "Money."

"No. Well, yeah. But that's not it. I mean, what made Noah any less Soc?"

Blue turns to him, affronted. "That's not the same. He was beaten half to death."

"But what changed?" Gansey pushes. Something inside of him stirs in frustration, but he persists. "He's still got money. But he's not Soc, is he? You know what I think separates us? Feeling."

"What are you even talking about?"

"You guys feel so much, and you're not afraid to show it. You care so much about eachother, more so than your image." Gansey spares a glance to the garage, where Ronan and Adam still work, side by side, murmuring to eachother. "But us? It's all about who can feel the least. Nobody really likes eachother- it's all for image."

Blue doesn't say anything for a moment. Gansey thinks for a moment that he's completely and utterly dictated himself wrong, and maybe whatever just came out of his mouth makes no sense.

Finally, Blue turns to him.

"You're not what I thought you'd be."

Gansey frowns, "How so?"

"You're not like the other Socs. Not Ronan, either. You two care." Blue shakes her head, seemingly lost in thought. "But you won't ever really understand. Things are rough, around here."

"Things are rough everywhere." Gansey counters. He turns his head back towards the Garage to avoid Blue's burning glare. "But rough in different ways."

[worthlessandembarrasing]

Had a revelation about how Gatsby coded Adam actually is, especially in TDT

[squash1]

thank you for asking completely unprompted!

here is my agenda:

having a literal actual demon be the “final boss” villain of the raven cycle does not fit with the rest of trc. it’s stylistically wrong — it lacks the subtlety and nuance that exists within basically every other aspect of the series.

INSTEAD of the demon, the ultimate villain of trc should have been: TIME. in fact, time is Set Up to be the villain from the very beginning. the villain is used in a narrative to contrast and work against the hero by creating a major conflict which the hero is forced to confront. in the end, the hero must either win or lose against the villain.

with time as a villain, losing means dying. we all eventually lose to time, it’s just about how long we get. we know that these are the stakes for gansey. we are told in the very first chapter that gansey WILL die within the year. the question is how — or if — our hero will be able to triumph over such a powerful villain.

the thing about trc is that it’s written in a way that encapsulates the feeling of teenagehood: the liminal space between child and adult. it’s speaking to the feeling of your time as a child running out, of everything being so big and so intense and so fast because there’s an undercurrent of the impending end to the world they all know. to have time also be the literal textual antagonist would have made the stakes immensely higher and more profound.

in trk, it almost reads as though time IS the main antagonist, which is why the demon as the “final boss” feels so out of place. time is referenced constantly in trk: from 6:21, to time being “circular,” to the whole idea of “time unspooling.” gansey is constantly aware of his time running out, of his impending death, and more than anything the possibility of dying before completing his quest for glendower. he is fighting against the passing of time and losing.

noah is quite literally lost in time in trk, popping in and out of existence, only a shell of what he once was. noah exists within time to help gansey triumph against time before he himself succumbs to time altogether. with noah and gansey tied to each other, both fighting against what it means to have time running out and to have their pasts linked together by a shared time of death, it even further underscores the way that time could have been the thing “unmaking” reality as the ley line suffered.

ask me about my the-true-villain-of-trc-is-time agenda

[kidspawn]

"what would Adam Parrish do?" I ask, during my shift because I am tired and cranky but I need the money. "What would Adam Parrish do?" I ask, when I want to sleep but I have school to work on. "What would Adam Parrish do?" I ask myself daily.

The answer should have been "buckle down and get shit done" but I guess the wires got crossed and now the Adam in my head says human sacrifice looks pretty good actually-

[ifistayitwillbedouble]

"You’re in a car with a beautiful boy, and he won’t tell you that he loves you, but he loves you. And you feel like you’ve done something terrible, like robbed a liquor store, or swallowed pills, or shoveled yourself a grave in the dirt, and you’re tired. You’re in a car with a beautiful boy, and you’re trying not to tell him that you love him, and you’re trying to choke down the feeling, and you’re trembling, but he reaches over and he touches you, like a prayer for which no words exist, and you feel your heart taking root in your body, like you’ve discovered something you didn’t even have a name for."

"Crush is every Donna Tartt novel crushed into every Hozier song, and Richie Tozier and Adam Parrish being dissected and put back together wrong. It’s that deep-rooted shame of knowing you’ve done something wrong, something bad, something that makes you feel alive."

-Elise Peyrat's review of Richard Siken's poetry collection, Crush

Zero's Fic Binding - don't it beat a slow dance to death

don't it beat a slow dance to death by solitarydreaming

Fandom: Raven Cycle [by Maggie Siefvater]

Ship: Ronan Lynch/Adam Parrish

Start Date: 12/23/2024

End Date: 02/18/2025

Pages: 230

Okay, so, this fic? This book is like the show Russian doll. Or Happy Death Day. The best kind of groundhogs day time loop fic, where the death resets the day over and over again. And after each loop, Adam and Ronan slowly start to…glitch. And slide. And fall out of time itself.

This fic is, perhaps, my favorite version of this trope. I grabbed on to that hiccupping, time-stutter idea and pressed it into a digital form - a glitching, fizzy, warping version of a stuttering iPod.

The typeset for this bind progressively

gets more

and more

glitched.

The headers, the fonts, the page breaks, the addition of texture and visual noise into the pages - ramps up through the typeset. I love it. I think it's fucking crazy and I love it so much.

This is the first time I tired to print a cover. It….went. It happened. It looks pretty ok, but this is not how I'm going to ever print out a cover image ever again. I do like this laminate, so I'll probably use that again with a different type of paper. But I can check off the 'try a new cover material' off my Resolution list for this year.

And, like - it's pretty crisp. The image looks pretty good, the color is nice - it's fucking weird and I love it. The spine being simple and so widely different is also a fucking vibe. I'm fucking grooving on this theme dudes, I don't know what else to day.

I used a multi-colored thread for the headband, so it is also changing and random in color.

Another first.........…..I fucking put the text block in upside-down.

My first time screwing up a book like this, so I'm giving myself a pass, but also…this kind of works for this book? You have to read it backwards to get to the front cover. It fits, and I'm only a little mad about it?

This fic is worth the read, even if you're not in this fandom. If you are in this fandom and you haven't read this fic yet? Ya - your welcome.

“Parrish?”

“Yeah?”

“You ever wish your life was normal?”

“Normal?”

“Yeah. You know, a wife, kids, a yard with a tire swing and a white picket fence - all that that heteronormative bullshit.”

“Tire swings are heteronormative?”

“Smartass. Just answer the question.”

“Sorry, sorry. So you’re asking if I want a wife?”

“Well, yeah, but all the other stuff too.”

“Ronan. There’s like a million fences at the barns.”

“Sure, but-”

“And Opal sleeps in our bed half the time. I read her fairy tales. Hell, you brushed her teeth last night. And, okay, there’s no tire swing, but I can fix that first thing tomorrow if it means that much to you.” Adam squeezes Ronan tighter to his chest. “I got everythin’ I want right here, Ro.”

“You don’t feel like you’re missing something?”

“Do you?”

“Fuck no.”

“Yeah, me neither.”
