Why this must be read: I'm a Chris/Toby ho but I've always had a soft spot for Ryan. But I have never really bought into Ryan being slashed, he was too straight/too het that it seemed forced or highly unlikely. But with this AU - Solace - I could believe it.
After the mess of their own lovelives and with the responsibility of caring for Cyril, Ryan and Toby find themselves growing closer. It's far from the all-consuming passion they have for Gloria and Keller, but they've been burned. It's kinda sweet in a way that with each other, they find a quiet corner where they can be safe. To touch and be touched, to not hurt anymore. That's what they have to offer to one another.
It's full of angst, since both have to deal with the object of their affection as well as the source of their pain. But it's very interesting (and a bit endearing) how both Ryan and Toby negotiate the rocky path to a little bit of happiness in the hellhole that is Oz.
Solace
There's a sorta sequel if you want to see how it works out for these two: Gift: A Solace Interlude
