The Jersey Island Raven Pot Pie Society by LydiaStJames
Fandoms: Raven Cycle - Maggie Stiefvater
21 Jan 2019
Tags
Summary
It had been two years since the war ended and Adam Parrish thought he was doing quite nicely for himself as an author...except for the fact he didn't have an idea for his next book. Inspiration beckons when he begins to correspond with the members of the Jersey Island Raven Pot Pie Society. Adam quickly finds himself wrapped up in the secrets of the island and its society, the adorable 4-year old child with a missing mother, and the grumpy Irish farmer who started it all.
(A Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society au, but you don't have to know it to enjoy the story. Or so I hope.)

Summary
It wasn’t exactly that Adam was afraid of heights, so much as he didn’t like being suspended in midair thousands of feet above the ground. And it wasn’t exactly that Adam hated Ronan Lynch, so much as he didn’t like outrageously arrogant assholes who were unfairly good looking.
But Adam could safely say that these two things combined were not on the top of his list.

Summary
A very slow burn. Copious references to Fortnite and Takis. Strangely specific teaching complaints. What more could you want? Kissing? Yeah, yeah, there will be kissing.
(It's a Teacher AU, okay?)

Summary
“I’m just--” Kent fumbled for an explanation for his behavior. The only father-figure he'd ever had was judging him for his culinary skills, his first love was flirting with his new boyfriend ten feet to his left, and said boyfriend was looking at Kent like he ran over his dog.
Too much. Too ridiculous. Instead, Kent settled with changing the conversation. “What are you making, anyway?”
“I make surprise dish. Rat stew. No ingredient but is okay, since you are here. Judges will be very surprised.”

Summary
Ronan Lynch dealt with his father’s sudden death by plunging into music. With high school coming to a close, and without any ambition to go to college, Ronan convinces his best friends to start a band. The only problem? They’re in need of a vocalist, and the young mechanic with the perfect voice is playing hard to get.
(In other words, the gang makes a band AU.)

Summary
AU. When Adam decided to volunteer at the local animal shelter, he figured it would be a breeze. He did not, however, anticipate getting on the bad side of the temperamental owner, nor his favorite shelter dog.

Summary
The entire night was orchestrated around flirting with Noah. Henry wanted an excuse to kiss him, because he was a horrible mixture of desperate and cautious, and he wasn’t sure he could go one more day without something more.

Summary
Ronan isn't amused by Henry Cheng and his insufferable matchmaking. Did he have to be so obvious? Mistletoe. Dear God.
(Set in a pretend-TRC universe where Noah is alive, where somehow Henry befriended the group before Pynch officially happened, and one where these losers don’t keep the fridge in the bathroom.)

Summary
When Adam asked for Ronan’s number, it was with the knowledge that he had given into his irresponsible and relentless attraction for Ronan. He wasn’t happy about it, of course. Adam liked to think of himself as intelligent, and it irked him, more than he liked to admit, that he was giving into Ronan’s whims like some lovesick teenager. Falling for playboys was something you did when you were young and dumb and didn’t know better; it wasn’t for a 28-year-old professional who had been in enough successful relationships to know better.

Summary
Ronan Lynch was a lot of things - an expert drinker, a connoisseur of cussing, an amateur cow wrangler - but he didn’t think he was a playboy. To be a playboy, he expected you needed to go on many dates. You had to drive an expensive car and wear fitted suits. To be good at wooing or flirting.
Ronan drove a nice car, he supposed. But that was about it.
So it was beyond him why Adam Parrish seemed convinced he was a playboy.

Summary
Adam patted down his body, fingers searching for clothes, but came up empty. Which probably meant he somehow engaged in illicit acts with Ronan Lynch.
Again.
It really was high school all over again.
