FIC: stop. by Elizabeth (R)
Title: stop.
Fandom: The OC
Pairing/Characters: Ryan/Marissa, Ryan/Seth
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: fic-o-rama
Why this must be read:
"Ryan," she says and there's so much joy in her voice that his eyes prickle hot for a moment. Maybe, he thinks and it's almost like hope. Maybe.
God, I read this story and I feel like my heart's just torn out of my chest. This is so--so essentially Ryan, trying to be what other people want him to be and failing, willing to do anything for a scrap of love. Reacting to a world he can't control in wild and occasionally dangerous ways. It's fucked-up and beautiful, and this story epitomizes that.
Here's what this story is like: you're walking in a straight line, and the ground dips, but eventually the dip settles and you're walking a straight line again. But then you start walking up, and its great, you're almost happy because you've reached the top--and there's a cliff, and you fall. Because there's no other choice but down. That's this story, and that's why I love it.
stop.
