Summary
Adam liked looking at Ronan’s soul marks. He liked it in a genuine, unironic way that was almost devoid of vicious jealousy.
-
In which Adam doesn't have a soulmate but does have a boyfriend and is terrified of impending disaster; Ronan has a lot of soulmates and is terrified that maybe he's fated to non-autonomous misery; and Hennessy only has one soulmate, which definitely, unequivocally, 100% means she's going to ruin him forever.

If for no other reason, read this fic for the scene in which Hennessy jokingly offers Adam a cigarette and is surprised when he accepts it, with him essentially saying, "I'm a rural, working-class southerner. Of course I know how to smoke. Now watch me drag this cigarette down to the filter and not even cough. After all, it's where all the best cancer is."

This fic revealed me as the southpaw-Adam-Parrish truther I never even suspected I was.

Summary
Fights with Gansey are becoming less frequent since Ronan decided he was staying with them and never making an effort to leave. Adam wonders if it’s because Gansey doesn’t want to argue in front of him, or of it’s because of the constant chaos that seems to revolve around Ronan Lynch.
Adam's relationship with Gansey is fine. It's definitely not going to be improved by Gansey's best friend Ronan hanging around all the time.

I would 100 percent read Gansey's trilogy on Glendower because I've never managed to get into John Cowper Powys's hefty tome, and Morgan Llywelyn's take doesn't come out until 2023.

Summary
This is a story about a magician with a terrible history. The death of Adam Parrish's father after he leaves for college means a chance at closure with that part of his life, but he's not on the journey alone. At his side is a king, whose loyalty never faltered, no matter how much the world threw at them, or how many times they couldn't agree on how to live their lives.
This is also the story of a dreamer, who loved his best friends so much that he didn't dare risk losing them by asking for something they couldn't give. So kisses that could have been became kisses that never were, and Ronan Lynch tells himself he'll make his home a place they can return to.
They'll all come together again for Adam, even fierce little Blue Sargent, so he doesn't have to face his past alone. And while he works at closing those doors, he'll make his way into places where all the love Adam, Ronan and Gansey have built up over the years will finally have the space to bloom.

Bookmarker's Notes
What is it about perfectly crafted Big Bang fics not receiving the attention and praise they deserve? Does too much come out too quickly for readers to appreciate all that creators are lavishing on them? This hidden gem of a fic answers the question, "What if 'Ronan [had] let out a breath, put the model [car] down on the bed beside him, and' simply taken another breath instead of kissing Adam, with everything else remaining as in canon?" At the very least, we now get to watch Adam navigate a charged conversation with Blue in which his friend is also his ex-girlfriend, and his current boyfriend's ex-girlfriend too. Furthermore, how this fic handles the continued resonance of a forgotten-on-a-conscious-level Noah in the lives of the surviving Gangsey is exquisite.

In the face of these currently trying times, I dream of a better, brighter world in which Intro to Lit students learning about nonlinear narratives read the Seeing Stars Verse instead of Wuthering Heights. What does this series have? Flashbacks! A prequel! Flashbacks in a prequel! What does Emily Brontë's novel have? Unappealing characters! Doing deliberately self-destructive things! For no apparent reason! Brontë should have written Pynch fanfic instead.
