#Rodansey

[stringcage]

If trb were girls Adam would be like 'god I hate how Gansey can get away with wearing no makeup and still look glamorous even though she could afford all the best products, not like me I need to use this drug store shit on my face just to slightly keep up and so people will treat me with respect' and Gansey would be like 'if I didn't have all these expectations upon me to be the perfect daughter and the perfect classmate and the perfect girl I would be able to just express myself like how Adam does I love Adam her eyeliner is so cool I want to be cool like Adam'. And Ronan would be like 'eyeliner tastes so sexy let me chew on this liquid liner pen and pretend I'm licking it off their eyelids'

honorable mentions:

Ronan being senselessly turned on by Adam on a motorcycle in Call Down The Hawk, eliminated for not technically being a car but still impressive

Jordan stealing Declan’s car and in doing so feeling closer to Hennessy while also closer to Declan.

Adam teaching Gansey about fixing cars.

The picture in Adam’s glove rendezvous has a the man (who looks like Greenmantle, which is to say like a combination of Ronan and Gansey, which is to say he looks like Declan but I digress) standing next to a German made car.

I could have sworn in addition to the Gansey comparing Adam to the Pig scene there was a scene where Ronan did as well but I looked up every time the word “Camaro” is mentioned in the Dream Thieves + The Raven King (only books with Ronan pov chapters) and did not find this so I wonder if I made it up, or saw someone else misremember and then adopted it in my memory. Someone enlighten me if not. There are certainly others but I either couldn’t remember them or couldn’t find text evidence to confirm they were real. Of course, you might say that some of these were likely more intentional from a doylist pov than others, however the text is the text and motifs are motifs. I am simply an academic presenting my findings to you all.

Also the Latin line is said twice once when the Camaro breaks down Ronan says it jokingly to Gansey in the scene where he also puts a leg over Adam’s, then Adam remembers it after a breakdown in TDT as applying to how he’s a “trainwreck” right before finding himself in Ronan’s dream. Feel the others are self explanatory enough but thought this one merited explanation if you haven’t reread recently.

anon who sent the "what the fuck is a gansey rtc" ask like 10 months ago; i just finished the first book and yeah. i believe in him. light of my life too actually. sad polyamorous boy with turbo autism fr..

it also makes reading all of your princess luz fics even better, actually. why are you ronan-ing amity her problem is that her parents are ALIVE.

WAIT. i meant why are you adam-ing amity. which. also doesnt make sense. to be fair.

-

FANTASTIC. i'm delighted that you're reading these books. also i love adam-ing amity. you're telling me you see a neurotic obsessive top-of-the-class student who's obsessed with being the best and stupidly bad at dealing with her emotions & you DON'T go "okay lesbian adam"

....aside from her being rich. this is clearly not a trait she shares with adam.

adam's problem is ALSO arguably that adam's parents are alive. JSDKLFJS

hunter/luz/amity can be such a ronan/gansey/adam if you believe in yourself. you got the guy with terminal loyalty disease, the guy who's human sunshine too good for this world too pure, and the guy who's a trainwreck walking haystack and also Totally Independent And Fine

look into my eyes. You See The Vision.

Okay only if it sparks something obviously but what immediately came to mind was person 1 getting frisky under the tablecloth (hand on thigh or… 😉) with person 2. Do they get called out?! Who knows!!! (Maybe you know!) (whatever assignment of person 1/person 2 that makes sense to you!)

Thank you for this, because whoops, this under the table Pynch thing has turned into surprise Rodansey. 😌

The moment Ronan inelegantly stuck a dinner roll in his mouth, Gansey understood the precise tableau occurring across the table, and he nearly lost the thread of polite conversation he'd been having with a cousin when he caught the subtle motion of Adam's arm, so meticulously slow the sleeve of his sweater didn't crease.

For the rest of Thanksgiving dinner, want filled Gansey's stomach and stole his appetite. It only abated later when the three of them were alone and Adam's fingers found Gansey's belt.

He and Ronan were very good at never letting Gansey's want consume him for long.

[Send me smutty Thanksgiving drabble ideas.]

No Oracle

Fandom: The Raven Cycle

Pairing: Adam Parrish/Richard Campbell Gansey/Ronan Lynch

Rating: Explicit (swearing, implied and explicit sex, mentions of death)

Length: 17k

Other details: Modern/No-Magic AU, Adam!POV

It was already supposed to be the most stressful two weeks of Adam's life: the final interview process for a professorship in Harvard's Classics Department. So the last thing Adam needed was running into Ronan, his friends-with-benefits during his undergraduate years, right after meeting Gansey, a PhC in English Literature who knocks his heart sideways.

Or maybe, that was exactly what he needed.

Read on AO3 here.

The worst decision Adam Parrish ever made was moving in with his two best friends for the summer between his freshman and sophomore years of college.

His next worst was accepting an internship on his best friend's — Richard Campbell Gansey III — mother's congressional campaign a week later, and his third worst was falling into bed with his other best friend — Ronan Lynch — the week after that, but without making his top-ranking worst decision, nothing else that summer would have occurred. Or possibly it would have, but moving in with Gansey and Ronan definitely did not help.

When Adam moves into Monmouth Manufacturing with Gansey and Ronan for the summer, it's not just their friendship — and Adam and Ronan's young relationship — that grows.

TRB Rodansey dynamic is like. Adam and Gansey are each other’s manic pixie dream girls whereas Ronan is the nightmare goblin man they find fascinating despite themselves. And also Gansey and Ronan happen to be married.

[nurseydexunsolved]

has anyone written the fic where ronan dies and adam falls in love with someone else (preferably a hilarious/insane situation like henry, but i will accept gansey or an OC etc) and then they all go to heaven and ronan has to make nice/falls in love with the usurper. please i need this so bad

Also more chats with Kitkat about Those Guys.

[crimeronan]

rafi and i are having a silly convo about how polyamory happens in the trc post-canon and i can't stop fuckin laughign at this message:

[sunflowersandscreams]

pynchsey/rodansey fic snippet. this part is completely sfw

“Adam,” Gansey says, full of joy as much as he is full of fear and worries. He thinks he might collapse internally from feeling so much. “How was work?”

“Long,” Adam says shortly (the irony is not lost on Gansey). “You wanted me here for something?”

“Ah- yes,” Gansey flounders, for just a moment, before he collects himself. “Let me fetch Ronan.”

He bangs on Ronan’s door, which opens far too quickly for Ronan to not have been eavesdropping on their conversation. “Were you listening to us?”

“Yes,” Ronan says. “Consider me fucking fetched.”

Adam almost laughs at this, in that strange way of his; he holds it in and exhales it out his nose, but what you can’t see in his lips you can catch in the sparkle of his eyes. Gansey notices Ronan noticing the sparkle, and he’s suddenly glad that he asked the both of them here.

“So, what is it?” Adam asks. “Obviously it’s some kind of secret, if you didn’t invite Blue or Noah.”
