Ronan missed him like a lung

I write a LOT of college AUs apparently: bane of my existence, Technicolor, Mad Scientist

My canon divergence and soulmate AU are reasonably popular. 😊

My personal favorite is my time travel AU.

Thanks @singersargentboi for the tag!

I was kind of uninspired and listless about fandom stuff for a little while there, but I've gotten a little juice back the past few days from reading new books/novellas by some of my favorite authors and belting out Billy Joel on my drive home from work.

Therefore... Inspired by a little ditty called You May Be Right:

But Ronan mostly crashed Harvard parties to annoy one person: Gansey's roommate, Adam Parrish. He considered everyone else collateral damage in his attempts to get Adam's attention, even if that attention stemmed from exasperation and not genuine interest, and with Adam's evident disinterest in everything outside his academics, Ronan emerged from every battle for Adam's time bruised, battered, and covered in blood.

His dad had taught him to box though, and Ronan was more than willing to take a few punches for the right reasons, so crashing Harvard parties would continue as long as he had the chance to steal a few minutes from Adam. If that meant extending the list of reasons he hated Harvard until it did a lap around the moon, so be it.

It just sucked that that extension started with adding dorm-wide fire alarms that Ronan might or might not have triggered.

“Depending on where you began the story, it was about Noah Czerny”

I have this image of Ronan just being a sad kid. I think he has a lot of bottled up emotions and unsaid things in his mind and obviously he doesn’t knows how to normally deal with it. But rather than being the oblivious Ronan I need him to just be a kid lowkey. Just tired and sad. And maybe he is I am not very deep in the story yet. JUST FEEL THE EMOTIONS IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. Idk.🦝 He feels them enough I suppose. I just need these boys to have some comfort in mind like guys-

Especially because we learn in Greywaren that Adam was in the opposite boat, he was trying to gaslight himself into thinking he loved Harvard and that it wasn’t a disappointment and so lonely compared to his fantastical summer at The Barns, where he could really be himself instead of this make believe character he puts on for other people.

adam: yeah whatever. i don't feel shit

(five minutes later) dude i swear we just walked through two seasons of the year in one hour
