Claim: The OC, Seth/Ryan
Title: The Earth Shattered
Author: [livejournal.com profile] khohen1
Characters: Seth/Ryan
Prompt: Hurt/Comfort
Rating: PG-13
Length: Medium
Brief summary: [livejournal.com profile] khohen1 explores how Ryan would handle comforting Seth in a tough situation, and does a wonderful job with that. Most h/c fics I've seen have been the other way around, so it was interesting to see how Ryan would assume the position of assuring Seth everything will be okay. It's executed in a way that could totally have been canon, if they'd gone in that direction, and her portrayal of Ryan is *fantastic*.

+ “I have seriously heard enough about your sex lives that I never wanted to know anything about in the first place, okay?”

Ryan grimaced, because he’d known a lot more about his mother’s sex life than any kid should have, but he couldn’t imagine what Seth could possibly mean by that. “It’s me.”

He can hear the puff of air that is Seth’s huff and he hears the creaking of the bed. “You might want to get out now, Ryan. Because I can’t guarantee you want to deal with this.”


+ “So that was weird,” Ryan says, finally stepping where he can see Seth, sitting on the edge of his bed. His head is hanging between his hands, his back curved towards Ryan, beckoning him to sit down next to him and rub all the tension away. Instead he walks in front of Seth and crouches down. “Your parents haven’t really ever asked me to leave the room before.”

Claim: The OC, Seth/Ryan
Title: I [Heart] Captain Oats
Author: [livejournal.com profile] kissingchaos9
Characters: Seth/Ryan
Prompt: Teamwork
Rating: PG
Length: Medium
Brief summary: Ohhhh, teamwork, how I love thee. This is a story that's just adorable and fun and cute, and I just love it. [livejournal.com profile] kissingchaos9 writes about Captain Oats getting lost, and Seth and Ryan looking for him. Ryan assumes a very big-brother-except-with-non-brotherly-kissing role in this fic, by taking charge when Seth freaks out (because, really, Seth totally *would* freak out if he lost Captain Oats) and helping Seth find him. As always, her Seth voice is brilliant, and his freaking out is very in-character. *Very* in-character.

+ "Okay, so, do you want to come upstairs and help me help Captain Oats get ready for his big date before you go to work?" Seth's eyes were smiling, and Ryan was pretty sure the 'getting ready' would take no more than three seconds, because, really, how long could it take to put a tiny tie on a plastic horse? So Ryan is hoping for some kissing, because it's going to be a long, boring shift.

+ "Have you seen Captain Oats?"

"Who?"

Seth sighs. "Captain Oats. Plastic horse, about yay high, lives in my room..." Kirsten looks up from her work.

"Oh, that thing? Seth, you've had that since you were six. I donated it to Toy Drive down at the Club."

Seth closes his eyes, and Ryan is pretty sure that Seth is definitely going to cry now.



It's fun and silly and yet [livejournal.com profile] kissingchaos9 is still able to retain some subtle sweetness in this fic.
