Claim: The OC, Seth/Ryan
Title: Truth or Dare
Author: [livejournal.com profile] lalejandra
Characters: Ryan/Seth
Prompt: Fandom Cliche
Rating: NC-17
Length: Long
Brief summary: This was the hardest prompt *ever*. I asked my flist for some ideas for The OC fandom cliches, and I chose Truth or Dare for two reasons. One, because *every* fandom needs a good drinking game fic. And two, because a cliche in The OC fandom is Summer being fascinated with Seth/Ryan. (Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] somethin_random for that one!)

This fic has both and it is absolutely *brilliant*. Seth, Ryan, Anna, Summer, and Marissa are all playing truth or dare. It's witty and clever, and so very hot in parts and just fun and cute in others. [livejournal.com profile] lalejandra has a great feel for the characters, and Ryan is wearing an untied tie around his neck and they're drinking whiskey and vodka and stuff and it's just *brilliant*.



+ Now Ryan. There was a whiskey man. Ryan should always have a bottle of whiskey, and a tuxedo tie untied, hanging around his neck, with the first button undone. Like right now. Ryan sat down on the bed next to Seth, pulled one leg up and stretched the other out. His bowtie was, in fact, untied and hanging around his neck. He rested the whiskey bottle between his legs, his hand loosely around its neck, and a little smirk on his mouth as he stared at Seth.

Seth’s mouth watered, and he unscrewed the top off the vodka, and took a swig. His throat burned and his eyes teared, but it took his attention away from Ryan. Ryan could beat George Clooney, hands down. Dicks up.


+ Ryan elbowed him as Summer climbed off the bed. He looked over at Ryan, and Ryan’s eyes were wide. “I don’t like where this is going.”

“You’re a party pop -- pooty parp -- you are not fun,” said Seth, trying to enunciate. And he’d only had one or two mouthfuls of the vodka so far. It must be 100 proof.

”All vodka is 100 proof,” said Ryan.

“I said that out loud?”

“Yes.”


+ Seth could not look up to gauge Ryan’s reaction. If he looked at Ryan, he would never be able to do this. Maybe if Ryan cornered him in the kitchen one morning after Seth’s parents had left for work, and leaned against the fridge, and smirked at Seth with that stupid corner of his mouth, the sexy corner, the corner that tilted up when he thought he was being funny, and said, “Suck me,” Seth would be able to do it while looking Ryan in the eyes.

Title: Why Seth Cohen Was Not Meant To Have A Roommate, or Four Little Ways To Drive Seth Crazy
Author: [livejournal.com profile] somethin_random
Characters: Seth/Ryan
Prompt: Future Fic
Rating: PG
Length: Medium
Brief summary: So this is one of my absolute favorites ever, hands down. As [livejournal.com profile] somethin_random says, it's more about the subtext than the text, but it's the absolute perfect amount of subtext. Seth is all boycrushy about Ryan, only now they're in college and separate and Seth has a roommate, and I absolutely love him...Seth, I mean, though the roommate is wonderfully developed and I also love him. He's exactly like a college roommate - he's not *annoying*, really, but he has little quirks that annoy Seth. It's very believable, and I love how Seth doesn't really give up, he just kind of misses Ryan a lot and tries to make it work. It's a great snapshot into college!Seth and college!Ryan.

+ One day he yells over the noise (that’s all it can be called, really), “Dude, if you can’t listen to good music, could you at least listen to something halfway decent, like Journey?”

Like Journey. Interesting. That’d just slipped out.

Seth misses Ryan more everyday.


+ It’s not like Mike is chaining Seth to a wall and forcing him to wear flannel or he’ll never be free – it’s more like he’ll say to Seth, “You know, dude, it gets really cold here in winter. Flannel would be a lot warmer than those t-shirts you always wear. I don’t think you’re really prepared for the climate.” Mike says things like ‘prepared for the climate’ and expects Seth to take him seriously.
