six hands at an open door dicing for pieces of silver by hinshack (PG-13)

Fandom: HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL
Pairing: Chad/Ryan (Ryan/OCs)
Length: 1,180 words
Author on LJ: hinshack
Author Website: Livejournal
Why this must be read:

This fic is sparse and kind of beautiful, and it strips some of the polish off of High School Musical and its characters without making them unsympathetic or unrecognizable. 'Senior year, figuring things out' fics are a staple of this pairing, but hinshack makes it prickly-new.



Summers are for regrets and things that should better go unnoticed (and what happens on a baseball diamond stays on a baseball diamond, someone told him once). Ryan has not been interested in athletes since. He thinks of it as some kind of accomplishment; his sister doesn’t. He’s not entirely sure how much she actually knows, but between her looks and the very, very unsubtle packs of Trojans she hides underneath his pillow Ryan doesn’t really want to tell her that Andrew’s hands had been interested, but not that interested.

He thinks he’s starting to get a little bitter.



Go. Read. Love. Tell the author.
