Part 1

That was the last sunrise I ever saw. Perhaps the kindest thing the dark gift has given me. // It was the last time I saw my brother. It was the last time I saw the sun. It was the only time I ever felt free.

- gansey’s pizza order is one large deep dish, half sausage and half avocado

- a week prior to trb, ronan and adam had taken turns dragging each other on a dolly behind the bmw

- gansey’s burger order is no sauce, no pickle

- adam blushes when he gets warm

- the 300 fox way psychic hotline is one number off from a male escort company

- gansey and ronan have done donuts in the monmouth parking lot frequently enough to leave marks

- there are several sports illustrated swimsuit editions mixed in with gansey’s books in monmouth

- ronan plays tennis

- the lynch brothers received “a decade of obscure irish music instrument lessons” before niall died

- someone wrote BEELZEBUB and ronan’s number in red sharpie in the bathroom at nino’s

- when adam shows up after ronan’s fight with declan in the nino’s parking lot, he’s bouncing a red ball with a spongebob logo. this is never explained.

- gansey’s helicopter drink of choice is apple juice

- gansey is, apparently, excellent at parallel parking (according to himself)

gansey with his journal crammed full of notes about his quest and whelk remembering noah’s handwriting scattered across their notes. their flashy cars. noah coming up with the idea for raven days and gansey being the raven king.

the fact that they both start the series as ghosts, that they have both died and somehow come back but the coming back didn’t fix everything. the fact that they both see something softer in ronan than what is on the surface, the fact that noah can kiss blue because he’s dead and that gansey can’t or he will die. the way gansey says excelsior before they start off and the way noah took the bold first steps into cabeswater.

the way that both of their deaths caused the ley line to stir, the way that both of them lived past those first deaths because of glendower. the way that noah comes back as something other and gansey, though he is perhaps something more real, does as well, and the way they both experience time not quite correctly, not quite linearly.

it’s noah who comments that he was something more when he was alive and gansey not just wanting but needing to find glendower because he feels that there is a hole inside of him. it’s the way that noah thinks that they wouldn’t have liked who he was when he was alive, and the way gansey hates that he can’t stop being a gansey. it’s how very real gansey looks when he’s next to noah.

it’s gansey planning to use glendower to save noah, even though he knows that this is the year he will die. it’s noah using glendower to save gansey, to give him a reason to go on, to meet the people who he will save and who will save him.

that boy was 100% in one of those deep homoerotic teenage relationships that go completely unspoken. i can feel it. i just know it's true

terrible liar. he tries but immediately gives himself away by laughing too hard

i like to think he eventually ends up just barely taller than both of his brothers, much to both declan and ronan’s dismay

once loses a bet to a friend and dyes his hair blue in the bathroom sink of the townhouse. declan is horrified (both with the state of his hair and the stained sink), jordan is ecstatic. he stains every surface he touches for a month and jokes that it’s “smurf spunk”. declan privately finds this hysterical

he gets a dog in the vague future and calls it something like Jolly Dave or Mr Lynch

joined the school orchestra for extra credit and now literally cannot escape it. every time he tries to quit, he gets passive-aggressive emails from the music teacher asking where he is. he can't get out.

regularly cried as a kid that he couldn’t pick a favourite colour in case the other colours felt left out

is the kind of person who tries to tell a joke but is laughing too hard at the punchline before he’s even managed to say it. so he’s just sat there wheezing while everyone else is utterly lost
