    Summary

    It’s only been a few days. Adam feels like he’s in one of those Victorian gothic horror novels he was forced to read in college, one where the wife is slowly being replaced by another woman and can’t get anyone to believe her.
    Except, depending on who you ask, he is the other woman.

    ___

    AKA Adam Parrish's perfect life with his boyfriend is shattered when his boyfriend's ex-husband comes to stay. It ends in a way no one could have predicted.

    Summary

    Adam has begun dreaming of Ronan. She can't tell if it's Cabeswater's influence or just the product of a restless mind, but the dreams are getting more vivid, and it's been harder and harder to resist temptation.

    Whatever danger was causing these new anomalies in the woods was a preferable thought sequence than the one in which she remembered Ronan dragging her lips across her neck, Ronan whispering breathlessly in her ear, Ronan gripping her hair.
    She practically bolted out of the Camaro when they pulled into the Monmouth lot. 8 hours in the warehouse was preferable to another ten minutes in that car.
    Still, she thought about Ronan’s arms for almost the entire time.

    Summary

    The door opened to reveal Adam Parrish, Esquire, Attorney at Law. He was well dressed, tall and slender, with piercing blue eyes set deep in a handsome, angular face. His forehead was furrowed in a perturbed manner that made his fair eyebrows look like one long pale, blonde line. He had not one single hair out of place anywhere on his head, nor a wrinkle in his neatly tailored suit. He had dark circles underneath his eyes, and a few faded freckles dappled the bridge of his nose. Despite those two very human and almost boyish physical attributes, there was an innate peculiarity to his demeanor. He looked uptight, just like his office. He looked annoyed, just like Ronan. 

    Adam Parrish frowned at Ronan, and then he said, “I’m sorry. I don’t take criminal defense cases.”

    Summary

    Then the mattress dipped again, heavier this time, Ronan’s weight folding into it. Adam kept his eyes closed, but he felt the moment Gansey leaned up to meet him. The sound of their lips touching was soft, like a drop falling on a pond.
    “Birthday boy asleep?” Ronan’s voice came low, closer now.
    Adam made an effort to part his lips, his mouth dry. “I am not,” he murmured, words dragging. “You’re late.”
    He knew Ronan was smiling, that awful, handsome, crooked thing he did. He set his hand, warm and dry, on Adam’s back, pressing him gently into the bed, making his ribs tighten against the mattress. He leaned in, mouth brushing the shell of Adam’s ear. He smelled sharp and sun-washed, like wild grass and chlorine. His stubble grazed Adam’s neck.

    or it's Adam's brithday. Gansey and Ronan try to take care of him.

    Summary

    For a moment, Adam thought Ronan would stop in front of him, pick up what they’d started out on the front porch, but Ronan brushed past him to the shelves of model cars. He picked up the one on the top shelf and spun one of its four wheels so it played an eerie, lovely tune, and the quiet song filled the room as Ronan walked back across it to sit at the foot of his bed.

    Adam watched him move but remained in the middle of the room, the heat in his stomach starting to simmer through his veins. This was a memory Adam hadn’t let decay, one Ronan, sappy, sentimental Ronan, was tilting on its axis, and though Adam knew what part he had to play, he was unable to take his cues because he loved Ronan Lynch so much in that moment he wanted to stay in it forever.

    The night before Declan's wedding, Adam comes home.

    Summary

    Something hard glittered in Adam’s eyes. “Most of us have to work for a living.”
    “Yeah, and any regular guy without either a death wish or a hard-on for fame and glory would get a job running the checkout line at the Piggly Wiggly,” Ronan retorted. “Give me a fucking break, man.”

    Summary

    BMW groaned—raw, deep voice, insulting the entire lineage of Tow Guy now—and fisted his hands in his curls. The shirt rode up some more. The tattoo curled into the dimples on the small of his back.

    Adam was early, Adam was bored. Mostly, Adam wanted to fuck him stupid.

    Adam Parrish is a hotshot criminal defense lawyer. Ronan Lynch gets his car towed.

    Summary

    A hot flush creeps up the back of Adam’s neck, an inappropriate response, a response more appropriate if Ronan had left a lingerie set or one of those candy thongs they sell in joke sex shops. Still, he’s blushing, now high in his cheeks and the tops of his ears, as he reaches out to touch the sweater. It’s cashmere, but understated, not too flashy. It will feel nice on his skin. It’s seasonally appropriate to the weather. It’s his size. He cannot possibly accept it.

    Summary

    “I bet I could,” Adam said. “And I bet you’d let me.”
    “You seem pretty confident in that wager,” Ronan’s face was stained pink like a rose petal crushed on concrete, a vivid red smear of color across the highest points of his bone structure. “You must like the look of your odds.”
    “I’ll like the look on your face when I have my whole fucking hand inside you,” Adam said in a low voice. “I’d definitely put money on that.”

    or: adam likes to give ronan what he wants.

    Summary

    It’s a momentary lapse of emotional regulation, if one is generous. An absolute fucking meltdown, if one is honest.

    When Adam comes back into his body, he’s lying on his bed, empty styrofoam staining his duvet with red chili oil, blank-eyed scrolling through his LinkedIn feed of job openings at Harley-Davidson for motorcycle engineers. He doesn’t want to work for Harley; he’s got brand loyalty to Honda. Also, being a mechanic again would be backsliding, and he is absolutely, most certainly, not backsliding.

    No, he just needs a sabbatical. A break from reality. Something temporary. Remote. Far from Virginia.

    Then he sees it: "Fire lookout."

    Summary

    “Sure, but since you’re back so soon,” Ronan said carefully, like he was approaching a startled animal, “You have time to fuck me again before you leave.”
    “Before you leave,” Adam corrected, pointedly, annoyed that he was still wearing his sweaty running clothes. He should be done with his shower by now, but the imposition of Ronan’s half-naked presence in his apartment had once again thrown off his entire routine. “You were supposed to be gone already.”

    or: most of the time, ronan takes his crucifix off when they have sex. sometimes, he doesn't. sometimes, adam thinks he might be ready for a relationship. most of the time, he doesn’t.

    "You want to do this?" Ronan asks, redundant, because he suspects Adam of second thoughts. Or maybe because he gets turned on by the word yes, which is sometimes charming but at the moment just irritating.

    Summary

    This game started when Adam arrived home to Ronan leaning, slick and dark and sexy, against the column of the front porch. Adam could feel it in the weight of Ronan’s gaze, the way it tripped down Adam’s body— eyes, mouth, waist, thighs— and then when Adam was close enough, sure and confident in how much Ronan wanted, Ronan turned his cheek, letting Adam’s mouth brush stubbled cheek instead of soft lips.

    That was as good as any green light, any checkered flag, any ringing voice shouting go.

    It was denial, sharp and potent, and a lie.

    Ronan and Adam are hopelessly in love and take it out on each other in the bedroom.

    Summary

    Gansey dared one last glance towards Ronan and Adam before dashing away. If it was to assure himself this wasn’t a dream, or to give him something to dream about later, he wasn’t sure. But he could have sworn his last look was met with Adam’s gaze. He had no way of knowing when Adam’s head had turned, whether it had given him enough time to understand exactly what Gansey had been doing, the entirety of the situation at hand.

     

    Or, while Gansey visits them, Adam and Ronan accidentally leave a door open while having sex, leading the three of them to deal with the complicated (and horny) consequences.

    Ronan stared at him for a moment, assessing, and then, like the sun coming out, he grinned. His pensive, gloomy mood was gone, replaced by a familiar spark of delight at the chance to partake in mischief.
    “Oh, you’re actually fucking thrilled this has landed in your lap,” Ronan said. “Shit, Parrish. This is your chance to be James Bond.”
    “If I’m James Bond, would that make you Q?” Adam asked wryly.
    “Nah,” Ronan said, and his smile curled lasciviously. “I’m Pussy Galore.”

    Summary

    Adam Parrish had lived in Port Royal for twenty years. He’d been around ships for almost two thirds of his life. In all that time, only one ship ever raised the hair on his arms each time it came to port, and it was not the ship itself, but the man who stood at its helm. A skirmish could put a ship’s fate in someone else’s hands. A storm or a cannon ball could put it at the bottom of the sea. A rampant illness could leave it crewless and adrift, waiting for the next enterprising group of sailors to come on board.

    But a particular flag, a particular captain…

    Those raised Adam’s hair far more than any combination of masts, sails, and anchors ever would.

    Summary

    "You, um, fly with this airline often?" the man next to him asks, as if Simon of all people looks like a frequent flyer able to afford first class instead of someone who's lucky if he can snatch a budget flight to somewhere in the Mediterranean once a year.

    "All the time," Simon snarks. "How could I not? Airplanes are such perfect microcosms of the class inequality pervasive in our society. It's simply a joy to repeatedly be reminded that people like me are nothing but slaves to capitalism, only good for being exploited while the high and mighty are wined and dined in the lap of luxury."
