Claim: The OC, Seth/Ryan
Title: No Words
Author: [livejournal.com profile] miss_begonia
Characters: Seth. Ryan. Implied Ryan/Summer.
Prompt: UST
Rating: PG
Length: medium
Brief summary: Gah. [livejournal.com profile] miss_begonia has this unbelievable way of just capturing Seth in a way that makes him seem to jump right off the screen. It's like she has her own private window into his life, and she just *gets* him, and that really comes across in her writing. This is a future!fic involving Seth, Ryan, and Seth's crush on Ryan despite Ryan's relationship with Summer. It's painful and awkward and comfortable in only the way that Ryan and Seth can be, even with so much going on around them. It's beautifully written, and definitely one of the better future!fics I've read in a while.

Claim: The OC, Seth/Ryan
Title: Mad Season
Author: [livejournal.com profile] torchthisnow
Characters: Seth/Ryan/Theresa
Prompt: Threesome
Rating: NC-17
Length: long
Brief summary: “He couldn’t leave her, and he couldn’t let Seth be alone.” This is such a perfect threesome dynamic. There's Ryan/Theresa, Ryan/Seth, and then Seth/Ryan/Theresa, and all of the pairings work so *well*. The best thing about this fic, though, is while it's NC-17 and a threesome, it's *not* PWP. It's very developed and thoughtful and painful, at parts. It takes place during the hiatus between season one and two, so [livejournal.com profile] torchthisnow has included the baby storyline in this fic, from the initial pregnancy to the miscarriage and the aftermath. But at the same time, the sex is so perfectly placed that the story is able to be hot while maintaining a sad undertone. It's very well-written and the characterization of all the characters is perfect.
