FIC: Seth as a Verb by zahra (PG13)

Title: Seth as a Verb
Fandom: The OC
Pairing/Characters: Ryan/Seth
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] hackthis
Author Website: dysfunctional
Why this must be read:

Seth. v. (seth). Actions inspired by the mannerisms, character and vocalizations of Seth Cohen, son of Kirsten Nichols Cohen and Sandy Cohen. Lately of Newport Beach, Orange County, California. 1. That’s very Seth of you. 2. He pulled a Seth.

Leading up to season two--speculation on what is going to happen. This is a short story, with a good denounement. I like it all the more for what it doesn't say, for the things it leaves blank. It's almost like a skeleton of a story, leaving the reader to add more interpretation and guesses as to what happened.

In particular, there are two actions here: one that is very definably Ryan, and another that is completely Seth. I think it's important to note that Ryan does them both, signaling that maybe he changed, after all.
