Summary
Long summer days at the barns mean Ronan and Adam keep bumping against this thing that buzzes between them, that sparks each time Ronan looks a second too long at Adam's hands, and each time Adam suggests they can, actually, live in each others lives.
But Ronan is stubborn and closeted and Adam is impatient. They could equally be doomed to implode.
/ 8k words of Ronan idiotically pining while Adam tries not to laugh at his obviousness. Also farm chores, night drives, and Gansey being Gansey.

Summary
Ronan woke in an instant and knew immediately that something was wrong. It was a pair of skills honed from years where the moments between sleeping and waking were dangerous to himself and others. He clenched his hands first, feeling for whatever he’d brought with him. But they were empty. They were empty and they ached like he’d been holding tight to something for far too long. In fact, his whole body ached. His hair ached, which was what finally tipped him off. It was brushing against his ears for one thing and it wasn’t soft and curly as it had once been, but crisp and gritty, like it had been plied with bar soap and a lifetime of hard water. Which was, of course, enough for him to know where he was. Who he was.
Ronan and Adam take a walk in each other’s shoes.

Summary
Gansey handed off one of the lime green plastic rackets to Ronan, “You play. Since you’re our resident tennis player, and all.”
Adam blinked at him, momentarily confused, before remembering that Ronan used to go to tennis practice twice a week, every week. He used to play competitively. And then his dad died, and he’d stopped going to classes at all, and tennis practice apparently constituted a class.
Ronan took the racket like it was venomous, rolling over and over in his hand, testing the weight, “This isn’t tennis. This is like if a tennis ball fucked a a beanpole and they got up the duff.”
Adam raised his eyebrows, “Very visual, Lynch.”
Ronan sneered at him, “Come on, then, big guy. I challenge you to a swingball contest.”
[AKA, the gangsey goes camping, ronan is very good at tennis, and adam has some Realisations about himself]

Summary
Tennis, Adam thought, was what life was really about. There was nothing that could beat the exhilaration of the adrenaline pumping through his system. Nothing could counter the thrill of the fast-paced game that slowed itself in his mind until he could calculate the angle that he needed to hit everything on.
Tennis was second nature to him. It was his game. It pumped through his blood, occupied his every thought.
He knew Ronan felt the same. Tennis was his everything as well. It’s why they worked so well together - their styles were so contrasting but their passion was the same.
Adam hit the ball as it came hurtling toward him, angling it just so that it hit outside the court on the second bounce.
Ronan’s hand was ruffling his hair in congratulations before they even heard the ringing announcement of Ad-Out.
One more point. One more point, and that’s all they needed to get the two point advantage they need, to fucking win.

Summary
Adam Parrish learned, at a very early age, to never trust a rodeo boy. They were self-entitled pricks that thought they were better than the lowly commoners of the rural South, and would take what they wanted without asking. Usually while leaving a string of broken hearts behind them.
Adam was adamant that he would not become one of those broken hearts.
But somehow Ronan Lynch is different. He, at his essence, cares. It's not a bad thing that he seems to openly hate the other rodeo boys, either, with the only exception being eclectically wonderous Gansey.
It starts off with a kiss.
A kiss that leads to a hook up.
Which leads to another hook up.
And another.
And Adam thinks he can let himself have this - Ronan's body and his bite - with nothing else. No strings attached. Friends with benefits, with more 'benefit' than 'friend'.
But nothing's ever that simple, is it?
[AKA, the cowboy rodeo fic that everyone deserves but no one wanted to ask for]
