Ryan struggles with his life, the factory work and extremely low living standards can't guarantee him a long life. He loathes nothing more than his abusive and arrogant boss, who endangers them all day after day. But due to a convenient coincidence he finds himself making acquaintance with the boss' son, Brendon, who inherited the same arrogance from his father. Could this dangerous liaison save Ryan from his horrible fait or will it toss him straight into the afterlife? - set in London during the Industrial Revolution -

"Do I fear the sleepless nights? You have no idea how long the darkness lasts when you cannot close your eyes to it. For the night is dark and full of terrors." * * * |TW: Nightmares, insomnia, anorexia, intense phobias, blood, mentions of death in nightmares, hospitals|

Ah yes, the classic ditch and cold shoulder combo - something Dallon is used to, which is definitely not a good thing, in case you were unaware. But thanks to Brendon, he's much more than simply aware of how awful it feels to watch your best friend leave you in the dust with no explanation, how it feels to watch your EX best friend make the optimal position on the famous football team and win 3 national championships in a row, get nothing but A's for 3 years, and do it all with the football teams beloved halfback. It's a good thing his comedic friend is there to keep him company. But first of all, how? Second of all, bad luck always makes its way to everyone, as does good luck to everybody else that'd been stuck in a never ending pit of despair for far too long. And third of all, Dallon's luck is about to change. ... "If only we knew," I told him, watching my own words twist up in frigid smoke "if only we knew that years later we wouldn't speak to each other until now, if only we knew how fucked up things would turn out to be." "I wouldn't dare to trade a second of any of it if I knew I'd end up right back here with you."

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. Word count: 200,000+

"I always knew you'd make it." "Yeah. You really did." (One Shot AU)

Dallon's favorite thing is rain. How the downpours sound just right, how amazing it is to have water pouring from magical translucent cotton balls in the sky. Ryan's isn't, but that doesn't stop him from spending time with Dallon in his preferred place of escape. also, this is a bit of an AU. but not really. it could be possible in the future, i don't know.

Brendon's completing his senior year of high school, trying to make it past the first anniversay of his sister's death and one day become a hairdresser. Ryan's a boy at the park with stunning eyes and hyperactive dog, that walks into Brendon's life without realising. It's a story about love and moving on. ( Written by panic_smiles )

"Are you okay, Awsten?" "I don't know what that means anymore."
