    Summary

    “Fair enough,” Hennessy said, her tone ambivalent and pragmatic. “It probably wouldn’t do you much good, anyway. If God was going to grant you the serenity to accept the things you can’t change, He’d have done it by now.”
    Ronan rolled his eyes. His stomach hurt. He draped his wrist over the steering wheel and said in a low voice, “I don’t think God plans to grant me anything.”
    Hennessy settled a hand atop his on the gear shift. Softly, she said, “Ronan. That is such bullshit.”

    or: ronan plans his wedding, breaks a bad habit, and goes to confession.

    Summary

    "Relax, I just noticed."
    "And brought it up," Adam said.
    "Do you think I fucking care if you can't swim?" Ronan blew a ragged sigh. "It just surprised me. Jesus fuck."

    or: In the month of September, Adam and Ronan bury a body. Adam learns how to swim. Ronan performs a baptism.

    Summary

    “There’s no one out this way,” he argues, “hasn’t been for years.”
    The boy’s jaw is set for mulish disagreement, “Sure. Years ago. What are you doing here?”
    There is not really a polite way to say ‘treating your family home like a haunted house’.

    (A kind of pre-canon AU where Ronan was abducted for dreamer reasons when he was young, got away, and now does not know what to do with himself.)

    Summary

    “Sure, but since you’re back so soon,” Ronan said carefully, like he was approaching a startled animal, “You have time to fuck me again before you leave.”
    “Before you leave,” Adam corrected, pointedly, annoyed that he was still wearing his sweaty running clothes. He should be done with his shower by now, but the imposition of Ronan’s half-naked presence in his apartment had once again thrown off his entire routine. “You were supposed to be gone already.”

    or: most of the time, ronan takes his crucifix off when they have sex. sometimes, he doesn't. sometimes, adam thinks he might be ready for a relationship. most of the time, he doesn’t.
