    Summary

    It wasn't that Adam listened to the comments from other Aglionby boys about "the brain and the brawn" or took any of their gold-plated opinions into account.

    It was the fearless, almost insubordinate, nature of Ronan's rolled up sleeves. Two handprints encircled his wrists, a deep violet, darker than any mark Adam had ever seen. Gansey sported a matching color on both palms, as if he'd dipped them completely in paint.

    Summary

    "There isn’t a night that passes where he hasn’t had to drink himself into a stupor to get near sleep. Not even the whiskey can’t keep him in bed. His brain won’t let his body just rest, not when it could parade gory image after vile memory after terror-laden vision in front of his eyes. Hours and hours worth of them. Successful nights ended in the small hours of the morning, his back soaked in sweat and lungs struggling to fill with air. The failures began and ended with him wide awake in his favorite worn armchair.

    Kell pulls his eyes away from the mirror, dropping his gaze to the polished wood. They drop to his hands. The left was flat, steady. The fingers of the right shook, a barely-there tremor that not even the drink could calm."

    Great War AU: It is December 1919 and Arnes is still reeling from five years of war. It's country, capital city, monarchy and people are left in pieces. In the midst of a struggling recovery, Kell struggles to work through his own memories, nightmares, and injuries.

    Summary

    "I’d have to give due props to Michelangelo as well,” Death Metal Boy mumbled, on his way out. “You know, for The Creation of Adam?” he winked as he slithered out of the store.

    Summary

    "Adam was getting married. When had that happened?

    Gansey had failed to mention it. There was a storm brewing inside himself, and he just wished he had been able to try and wrap his head around the idea while an ocean away from it, not facing it across a restaurant table."

    Six years has past since Ronan and Adam broke up, leaving on the worst of circumstance. Ronan escaped to Ireland, avoiding his feelings and by doing so, avoids the whole of the Gangsey. After years of begging, Ronan finally visits his friends in New York only to find a gut-wrenching truth: Adam Parrish is getting married. Ensue, a whole heap of pining and Ronan trying his best to become a supportive friend, while facing the unavoidable fact - that he is still in love with Adam.
