Ring of fire by M. F. Luder (PG-13)
Hi everyone! I will be the driver for The O.C. fandom this month and I hope I provide y'all with some links to great stories that you haven't read yet.

Why this must be read: This story manages to interweave some of the works of Pablo Neruda into its story as both Seth and Ryan come to some startling revelations about the other through a paper that had to be written for English class. The Seth and Ryan voices are dead-on in this story. It encapsulates Seth’s daftness when it comes to anything involving love and Ryan’s inability to verbally articulate such matters himself - though this story proves what I've always believed...Ryan has a pretty good understanding of what's going on around him.
"You wrote that."
Ryan shakes his head. Seth watches Ryan's grip on his forearms tighten.
"Yes, you did. You wrote that. You wrote all that in one sitting, probably, because I don't think anyone can find that kind of inspiration twice." Seth tilts his head, trying to catch Ryan's eyes, but he avoids Seth. "You wrote that."
After a sigh, Ryan nods.
"Wow," Seth says. "Wow." He figures that he can ask about it. He figures the answer will be visible. "I didn't know you felt like that about a girl."
Seth waits for Ryan's reaction and he sees it. A small grimace forms at the corner of his lips. His hands tighten again.
"Not a girl."
Seth wonders if the answer could be any more obvious.
This story is definitely worth reading and a great way to start off the month.
