ALL CREDITS GO TO "fullcollapse" on livejournal for this absolutely beautiful story. Mostly AU, high school age setting. With the help of his friends, Ryan has just learned how to like life. Brendon hasn't yet found such luck. This is a story about strong relationships, trust, not wanting to be alone, and holding hands. There's a river, and just like its never-ending path to the ocean, some things just go on forever. Sometimes you need someone more than you need yourself, and sometimes, that's okay. Rating: R.

Title: The Impossible Is Possible [1/30] Author: peopleexisting on LJ (ALL CREDITS TO THIS STORY GO TO THIS AUTHOR!) Rating: R/NC-17 (overall) Pairing: Ryden, some Joncer. POV: Third, Brendon’s. Summary: AU. Brendon switches high schools to get away from the pressures of bullying, but he finds that his new school isn’t all that better. Not to mention that he’s soon thrown into the turbulent world of a violent, disturbed boy, named Ryan Ross. Disclaimer: Not true, et cetera. Author Notes: This story is dedicated to my best friend, Nick, who has ADHD himself and so inspired (and helped) me a lot with Brendon’s character in this.
