Why this must be read:

If you love angst, this is the story for you. It’s chock-full without being sappy. It works brilliantly as a story set after the gang’s senior year. Ryan and Seth have been a couple for awhile, despite Marissa’s interference and Ryan’s curiosity regarding Seth’s first “boyfriend.” The characters maintain the trademarks that make them distinguishable from each other, all the while living in this world that Vera created as a possibility in the future.

If you’re still not convinced, here is a little excerpt:

Seth has been trying for months to get used to the brooding on a ‘boyfriend’ level. Lois Lane did and more importantly, Dick Grayson did, while managing to get some of his own brooding done. But neither Dick nor Lois had to deal with Marissa Cooper. Lex Luthor and Two-Face were definitely *not* Marissa Cooper.

It would be easier if she were just plain evil, but people, namely Ryan and his mom and dad, are prone to using Newport-correct words like ‘troubled’ and ‘vulnerable’ when describing her. Seth would go for ‘alcoholic’ and ‘out of her mind’ but those words will never actually pass his lips in Ryan’s presence or Julie Cooper’s. He does know better than to think their coming out of the closet in Newport society got her started again. Summer, for one, is sure it never actually stopped. On hiatus, maybe, but spiked lattes in the morning are apparently the only way to start the day.


So go read, love, and feedback away!
