The Great-Novel-Length-Pynch-Fic List

By strawberryslurpy aka your resident pynch addict

I keep searching through fics on AO3 by word count and half the time it’s just Kinktober fics and that is not what I want I want something that’s comparable fiction to novels that are considered literary works of art!1!1!1! In other words, I’m picky. If you are too this may just be the list for you. Enjoy 😛😛

1. Concorde, Anonymous, AO3 (must be a member to read), 176k words

What if Adam was removed from the Parrish household at age 10? And what if he became the ward of a certain dreamer?

This fic had me in a CHOKEHOLD genuinely killed me and revived me. If you enjoy novels that are time jumpy and show rather than tell than this fic is for you. It’s confusing in the fun literary type of way and it is so well crafted and well articulated. I am a huge huge fan.

2. Magnetic by MonsieurBlueSky, AO3 (must be a member to read), 231k words

“an AU in which Ronan never befriended Gansey and after the death of Niall Lynch, Gansey isn't there to pull Ronan back from the edge. Kavinsky is there instead, ready to push him over.”

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING NO NOTES GENUINELY PHENOMENALLY EXECUTED I adore this fic and everything about it. The way the author is able to examine ronans relationships and how magic impacted them is just so so so lovely. I read this in one sitting and I sobbed for hours after finishing. Please read the tags, there is graphic depictions of suicide, self harm, substance abuse, domestic violence, etc. it’s all very canon typical but elaborated on.

3. Violent Delights (Violent Ends) by sunmoontruth, AO3, 200k words

https://archiveofourown.org/works/58209568/chapters/148221808

Oh. My. God. Holy. Fucking. Shit. HUNGER GAMES AU. Genuinely such captivating writing, the story pulls bits and pieces from the original Hunger Games, but there is so much that is original and fresh that this fic becomes less of an AU and more of a stand alone work. And with everything going on in the world now, in America where I live, this more graphic adult version of the hunger games truly hits where it hurts. Phenomenal characterization, such an amazing adaptation. I am floored beyond belief.

4. (The Time It Takes) To Believe in Fate by LydiaStJames, AO3, 100k words

“When he was 16, Adam walked into a forest in Henrietta, Virginia and exited in 1800s Ireland. The day he spent with the grumpy but attractive farmer lingered with Adam for years, but the forest didn't seem like it would appear again. That is, until Adam returned to Henrietta for his father's funeral and the forest calls him back once more.

To Ronan.”

GOD SO GOOD SO WELL WRITTEN. I have re read this one too many times to count. It is beautiful. It’s also such an intriguing concept and such a unique and original AU that it feels so disconnected from the original canon in a way that makes it much more enticing. Like the characterization is spot on and it’s so cool to see how these characters react to such an odd set of circumstances relative to their original canon.

5. Seek Ye The Living by charactershoes, AO3 (must be a member to read), 40k words

PYNCH FLEABAG AU PYNCH FLEABAG AU

Adam is a priest. Declan and Ashley are getting married. Ronan is having a faith crisis. What’s new.

6. Divinity by Cazio on AO3, 67k words

Magic can’t heal everything, especially when Ronan lacks the knowledge to dream a fix all. In other words, during his first semester at Harvard Adam gets sick. In true Adam fashion, he completely ignores it. But eventually it becomes too much for him to evade.

This fic is emotionally devastating. But, for some weird reason, it’s a comfort fic for me as someone who is chronically ill. It is a different type of illness and a much different type of circumstance but to see Ronans characterization when faced with something so devastating, and to see Adam get taken care of with such love. It means a lot when that is something I’m so deeply afraid I’ll never find. Please please please be aware of the tags and archive warnings.

For now these are my favorite long fics that are pynch centric but also just beautiful examples of literature that is so well written it feels like a disservice to label it fan fiction. I’ll update more as I read more!!

Lots of love,

Your local pynch dealer

werewolf!adam parrish and werewolf hunter!ronan lynch au. that is all 🫡

[cabeswaterdrowned]

character study + missing scene of sorts set during The Dream Thieves, focusing on Adam's hallucinations, relationship to Cabeswater, Gansey and himself.

"Adam doesn’t want to stay here. He should never have come, never have let Gansey talk him into this. Not then and certainly not now. He leaves Gansey’s grand bedroom that his trailer and the room at St Agnes could both fit inside, walks down the ridiculous stairs, past the ballroom which the Gansey’s were elite and prestigious enough to have for parties, and out the door. He breathed in the crisp summer air. Then all of a sudden he was walking. And walking. And walking. Anytime his thoughts started to form a Where am I going? The only answer was away. He knew his thoughts should not form like this, that something was wrong, but there was nothing he could do."

pynch fic band!au where Gansey,Ronan and Noah are in a band. They are performing a cover of "the summoning" by sleep token. Gansey is the main singer but Ronan sings the last verses.

Adam is in the front row of the crowd bc Blue forced him to come with her. He's enjoying the music but then the tattooed guitarist starts to sing for the first time in the show and while he's singing he's looking at him, staring at his soul and Adam is mesmerised and he also can't take his eyes of him for the rest of the show and the guitarist keeps looking at him too.

the verses:

Adam Parrish doesn’t want a soulmate.

What he does want is to be his own man and make his own choices, not for fate and his soulmark—a line everyone has around their left wrist—to decide who he’s meant to spend his life with.

Then Adam’s soulmark changes when he meets Richard Campbell Gansey III.

And Ronan Lynch too, but Ronan definitely is not Adam’s soulmate.

Or is he?

Either way, it doesn’t matter.

Because Adam Parrish doesn’t want a soulmate.

Chasing Tails by KellieAltogether (6,359 words, general audiences)

“Is this meant to say raven?” Four years out of veterinary school, there were plenty of animals Adam Parrish hadn’t had the opportunity to deal with yet, but he never expected a corvid to come through the doors of the practice. Rural Virginians had a slew of pets, from dogs to snakes to chinchillas, along with an even larger slew of livestock, but ravens weren’t high on the list of domesticated animals in and around Henrietta. Adam Parrish is a veterinarian in Henrietta, Virginia. He's used to dogs. He's used to cats. He never thought he'd treat a raven. Or a pygmy goat. Or a fennec fox. Or an emu. But then Ronan Lynch shows up.

@givemonetatry: this had me smiling all the way through, i love ronan and his menagerie

Goood u guys I’m literally geeeking about how good my lil fic idea issss

[cheeeryos]

He added, “You could have made it clearer if you wanted some privacy.” “And that would have worked,” Adam said skeptically. “You, Sir ‘What-The-Fuck-Are-You-Doing-Alone-In-The-Woods,’ would have given me privacy? Wouldn’t you be quaking in your big boots, worried that I might be doing something nefarious?” It was a good point. If Adam had told Ronan not to follow him, Ronan absolutely would have followed him on principle. “I’m not some blushing maiden,” the magician continued. “Watch, if you like.” Ronan flushed. He’d said something to that effect before, when Ronan had caught him out of bed. It wasn’t what Ronan had meant either time—though, God, it was painfully accurate right now—and Adam knew it. He was simply trying to wrongfoot him again. Well, if he wanted to play games, Ronan wasn’t about to run away in fear. He wasn’t some scandalized maiden, either. He set his jaw, willed himself not to blush, and began to undress. Adam’s eyes widened, but he didn’t speak as Ronan unbuckled his swordbelt, unlaced his boots, then stripped off stockings and tunic and shirt and trousers and left them pooled on the riverbank.

[adam x ronan]

you can crash and burn and come back someone new (and that's what i learned from you) by tamquams (17/17 | 116,305 | T)

Ten years later, Henrietta looks exactly how Adam remembers it fading away in his rearview mirror: desaturated and dusty, and just this side of hopeless.   Adam leaves. Five years later, he comes back.

the thing with dnf is that they fit any role the only thing you really need to do is them being utterly insane about each other. like the yearning and pining you need as well also them acting as if they are normal when they are not even close to that word. if they arent crazy its not dnf

Decided to start writing a Bodyguard AU because when inspiration comes, you run with it (thanks @lizpaige)

Adam Parrish is a celebrity psychic. He had a vision and reported a corrupt politician and now needs security because he's been receiving death threats and someone broke into his condo

Ronan Lynch is one of three bodyguards hired to protect Adam. He thinks Adam is a fraud (but hot) and so he's just doing his job.

They fall in love and have a secret relationship.

Additional players:

Hennessy and Bryde - the other members of Ronan's three person team

Mr. Gray - Ronan's boss and head of the security firm

The Crying Club - Adam's friends

The Gangsey - Ronan's friends

The Greenmantles - corrupt politicians and all-around evil-doers

Pynch University AU where Ronan is on the rugby team, and being the aggresive asshole he is, ends up having to go to the athletic trainer a lot for his various injuries. Adam, athletic trainer in-training, just so happens to be assigned to help a certain rugger...
