Seth Is 15, and 26; by clem k. (nc-17)
Hello! I'm ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
riverlight, and I'll be your friendly neighborhood driver around The O.C. this month. I'm pretty new to fandom, but hey, I figure this works out well for you all--it means I've read a ton of fic lately. So, without further ado, my first rec:
Fandom: THE O.C.
Pairing: Seth/Ryan; also, if you read the story she links to, Seth/Seth (go with it)
Author on LJ:torchthisnow, a.k.a clem k.
Author Website: None that I know of--
Why this must be read:
This is, admittedly, not your normal O.C. fic. Sure, there's plenty of hot boysex and plenty of snark. But there's also time travelling.
I know, I know. Crazy, right? But just go with it. The ending will just blow you away, in that you'll-still-be-thinking-about-this-tomorrow kind of way.
He had been about to get in the shower while Ryan was cooking breakfast. They had plans tonight with Jordan and Abby and Carmen, get dinner and then meet up with Luke and his girlfriend for a Ryan Adams concert he'd gotten seven tickets to, somehow. But that's not until much later and he'll likely be back in time for it. He doesn't want to miss it, but if he does, Ryan will have it covered.
For now, there are worse places to be.
There's the Arts & Leisure section, which is good, even if the news is old at this point. There's French roast in the pot on the counter, and he helps himself to a cup. Being naked in his parents' house is infinitely preferable to being naked in the Cooper-Nichol pool, which had happened once when he was 22.
When his younger Seth comes down the stairs, Seth is momentarily startled at how young he looks. How wide his eyes are and how much he talks.
He still talks a lot, Seth admits to himself. But he's learned how to actually start saying something with his words.
Like "Pants." and "Coffee." Ryan's really rubbed off on him.
His self looks lost and so fucking young, and it hits Seth all at once: this is Pre-Ryan Seth. This is Seth without Ryan, as a friend or a lover, and he'd forgotten how lonely that was. How wide the distance could be between the man he's become and the boy in front of him.
missdeviant wrote what I suppose could be called a prequel to this, and I had a hard time deciding which story to rec, because they're both brilliant, but since clem provided a link to the former at the top of her story you can (and should) read both.
