Hallelujah by thinkpink20 (NC-17/R)

Hi! I am [livejournal.com profile] snooboostoo your O.C. Driver this month. I am a huge fan of all things Ryan/Seth so I most of my stories will involve them, but to be fair I will stick a few other pairings in there to spice it up a bit.


Fandom: The O.C.
Pairing: Ryan/Seth
Author on LJ:[livejournal.com profile] thinkpink20
Author Website: None listed
Why this must be read:

This is one of my favorite pairings in fandom and I just love how the author ages both of the characters. Seth is still Seth but less awkward. The story has him meeting up with Ryan several years after they have broken up and it isn't long before repressed feeling bubble to the surface.

It is a great sad love stories that breaks my heart into pieces before healing it.

“Don’t you ever miss Newport?”

It’s not something Seth means to say, and he checks his wine glass as soon as the words register, because he didn’t think he’d drank that much.

Ryan is silent for a while, and Seth doesn’t turn around to see if he is looking.

“Sometimes.”

It seems like a pretty well considered answer, and maybe it’s true. Seth knows he would miss California if he left, but thinks that maybe Ryan’s not tied to anything in the way he is. Maybe that was what was wrong all along.

“You never think about leaving?”

Now it’s Seth’s turn to contemplate and look for words that aren’t too prickly or offensive, nothing that will set off something he can’t pull back.

“Sometimes.”

He hears Ryan chuckle.

“Mom misses you.”

“I miss her too, and Sandy.”

Seth waits.

“And you.”

Seth notes the falter in Ryan’s voice and thinks about smashing the wine glass, because he came out to Boston for a conference and got a head-fuck.


Hallelujah

This story also comes with a sequel to it: To Be Alone With You part one part two
