Summary
“Have you considered the possibility that Neil has chosen you, but believes you have not chosen him?” Renee says. "Have you ever explicitly told him what you want?”
“Neil knows what I want,” Andrew snaps. This is not Andrew’s fault.
“How do you know?”
Because Neil always knows. He is as fluent in Andrew’s micro-expressions as he is in German and French. He knows which head tilts mean “go on” and which ones mean “shut up.” Without ever asking, he learned what it meant to see Andrew wearing double layers of long sleeves, or taking multiple showers in a day, and learned to hand Andrew the car keys.
That has always been the most terrifying thing about Neil — his patience to wait, watch, listen, learn. The prospect that if Neil were given enough time, there would be no part of Andrew that was just Andrew’s anymore.
“He has to know,” Andrew says.
“Does he?” Renee says. “Have you ever known Neil to assume that he is wanted?”
Five times Neil tells someone that he and Andrew aren’t dating, and one time Andrew uses his words to set the record straight.

Summary
"Straight answers are boring," Cheng says, "and yes I do mean that for all values of straight. I do not need Ronan to share his tragic backstory, I would much rather deduce it on my own."
"Who says I have a tragic backstory?"
"With your fearsome glower and troubled good looks? If you did not have a tragic backstory it would be a waste."

Summary
“Here was what really mattered. It was kings and quests and waking dreams. It was magic that lit him up flesh to bone. It was Gansey and Ronan and the ache of summers ending, forever fresh. Adam could take or leave the rest.”

"If I had to have magic ritual sex with someone," Blue said thoughtfully, "Ronan would be near the top of the list."
"That is less helpful than you seem to think it is," said Adam.

Summary
Adam shows up at Monmouth as everything with Kavinsky slowly dies down. Ronan is being completely normal about it.
---
“My—the night horror?”
"You should—should catch it or somethin’.”
“Catch it? And keep it where, Einstein? The basement?”
Clicking his tongue, he withdrew his hand to cross his arms and glare more pointedly at Ronan, schoolmarmish. “The Barns, obviously. Do you even need to feed it? Bathe it? Entertain it? You don’t even know anything about it.”
“I already have one dinosaur,” he said, glaring at Chainsaw.
“It’s irresponsible to let it wander Virginia. Cabeswater? Could we put it in Cabeswater?”
“And let it wreck havoc there instead? Maybe out here it’ll burn down something fun.”
“Fine, but if it gets its claws on the White House, people are gonna have questions you can’t answer.”
Ronan grinned. “I’ll just dream a solution.”

Summary
After, cheeks rosy-flushed and skin spangled with sweat, he’ll wonder why he did this again. He shouldn’t have come here. Not tonight, not last week. Not ever. But right now—Adam’s touch fireworking through him—he can’t bring himself to care. When he gets like this, he can’t think of anything else, head jammed with the memory of Adam inside him; the stretch, the fullness, the wreckage of it all.
A chance meeting in Boston, years after they broke up. Ronan knew it was a bad idea to fuck Adam. He did it anyway. He’s going to keep doing it anyway.

Summary
“Remember how it felt to finally have enough of Adam crawling back to us looking like a butcher shop window? Well if it were anyone but you doing this to yourself, this would be my tipping point, I swear to god.”
“I don’t do it to punish myself. "I’m not a fucking masochist.”
“No?”
“In my dreams,” Ronan said slowly, and Gansey finally let himself look at Ronan. “Cabeswater told me the nightmares are, well, mine. I make them. I make them attack me, and in my dreams, they kill me.” Shakily, Ronan raised a hand to cover one eye. “I don’t know what that means, but I do know there are physical things, terrible things, torture, that no living person should know the feel of. But I do. And it scares me. I don’t know how to deal with that kind of pain.”
And Gansey understood. “Boxing is the evil you know,” He said softly.

Ronan gets in a fight and Gansey comes to pick him up. Takes place sometime after The Dream Thieves.Bookmarked by halflightwrites

Summary
Ronan’s voice was almost swallowed up by the vastness of the space, a soft-edged scrap of blue-gray silk in a world where light only served to accentuate the darkness.
“What was I like? Before?”
The question always made Gansey’s heart clench. The answer was a pearl, and Gansey had always thought it would take a knife to prise it from him.
But what was Ronan Lynch if not a knife in the guise of a boy?
---
The one where Ronan asks Gansey to remember what he was like before his father was killed.Bookmarked by halflightwrites

Summary
Without opening his eyes, Ronan fastened a hand around Adam’s wrist. “Join me?”
Adam’s voice was alive with an unbearable fondness. “Only if you promise to behave.”
“I’ve never behaved a day in my life, and I don’t intend to start now, Parrish.”
“There’s my Ronan who never lies.” Adam’s voice was cool and silky, and Ronan shivered, heat moving through him, slow and sensuous. “But you’ve been so good so far.”
---
My Call Me By Your Name Rodansey fic. Gansey invites Adam and Ronan to spend a couple of weeks at his family's house just after high school graduation, but with one stipulation: they can't have sex. Sexy shenanigans ensue.

Summary
There, pale under red light, muted. Ronan stills. Sculpted arms rising, body an offering curve. A saintlike figure fixed high in stained glass. Red light fragmenting his cheekbones, sharp splinters. Thumping bass molten through his shoulders down his hips; he turns, the glint of a smile, a body without anchor.
Adam, luminous-bright.
It's too soon—a week before the wedding, finding Adam in DC’s grimiest club. Ronan isn't ready for it.
