Comment!fic: Ryan at the party

Comment!fic: Alternative scene continued

This was perfect. I just love the feel of this fic, how it just calm and flows, and how time passes gradually. I loved watching them grow up together and the little details, like sleeping head to tail, and then the unspoken tension that grows between them. I loved Brendon being a sort of catalyst, because the hint of Spencer liking Ryan seemed to always be there, but it was a little more intense, or whatever, after Brendon was around and how Ryan always hung out at Brendon’s place instead of Spencer’s. And then the end, it was sweet and perfect. *heart*

False Advertising

Oh gosh, I was SO NOT PREPARED FOR THIS FIC, LOL. I was totally with Ryan, thinking he scored and oh gosh, afterwards, I was like OMGWTF and poor Ryan and LOLing like crazy, especially when he told Spencer. XD And like, when Ryan was mentally complaining about wanting to use that money for shopping and make-up and yeah. Seriously Ryan, you complete dork! XP

Sequel this way, in case you want more of this stuff. XD

So We’ll Stop Pretending

This is so cute, seriously! I love that it just starts off with Ryan liking pretty things and it just kind of flows into him trying on a nightgown, lol. And Spencer catching him, which was probably mortifying for him, but how Spencer accepts it because duh, it’s Ryan. Then Spencer buying him an outfit and OMG how sweet is that?! Seriously, this is so sweet and cute and yay for implied GSF at the end. XP

Where We Went Wrong

GAHHHH, THIS FIC! Oh, it made me heart clench so much! Even though it’s a short little thing, it packs a punch. Gosh, I don’t even know what to say, but it was amazing and, yeah, I totally cried because GOD, the subtle angst! =( You need to read RIGHT NOW! Don’t misread the sad face, yo! Sad face because sad-ish ending but amazing fic. *heart*

Shadows of Echoes of Memories of Songs

O.M.G. THIS FIC. It totally killed with with it’s AWESOMENESS! I mean, Spencer turns into a six year old and it’s hilarious and sweet at the same time. I was reading this at 12:50AM and dude, I was trying my hardest NOT TO CACKLE and it was SO HARD! And, gosh, chibi!Spencer is so endearing, he really is! Observe:

“That man was being scary,” Spencer mumbles against Ryan’s neck. “But I told him to stay away from you, don’t worry.”

Ryan says, “The scary – wait, Brendon?” He stops to giggle for a moment, somewhat hysterically and because he can’t think of what else to do. Brendon looks torn between annoyed and impressed and Ryan reaches up to smooth a hand over Spencer’s hair, and tells him quietly, “Brendon’s not scary, Spence.”

“He’s really big,” Spencer whispers, voice wobbling dangerously. “I don’t know who he is.”

Ryan hesitates and then says, “Spence? You know I’m kind of big now, too?”

Spencer pulls back enough to give him an unimpressed stare. It is freakishly similar to the kind a normal sized Spencer would give him. “Well, yeah,” he says, in a pointed, bored voice, “but you’re Ryan.”

Seriously, OMG! Chibi!Spencer, you slay me!

“Ryan?” Spencer asks. “Are you wearing a flower scarf?”

Ryan pauses, and looks over at him. Brendon is watching them both with an increasingly wicked grin spreading on his face. Ryan hesitates for a moment and then says, “Yes?”

“Okay.” Spencer crosses his legs and watches Ryan for a while, head tilted to the side. Eventually, he offers up, “You know girls wear flower scarves, right?”

For a moment, everyone is quiet, and then Brendon cracks up laughing, almost rolling off of the bed. Ryan glares at him; he’s starting to think Brendon is all too delighted with the whole situation.

SERIOUSLY, I WAS TRYING SO HARD NOT TO LAUGH, BUT HOW CAN YOU NOT?!?!

And, okay, little Spencer DANCING and wanting to play the drums and OMG how can you not be charmed?!

“BOOM!” Spencer declares, and then, “Ryan, what’s a whore?”

Ryan sits up straight in his bed, hopelessly awake and furious now, too. “What?” he snaps. “Where did you hear that word?”

“Brendon said it,” Spencer tells him, beaming. “In his song. And then all the – all the peoples watching you screamed. Brendon’s a good dancer,” he adds, thoughtfully.

OH SPENCER! And Ryan, OMG, he is probably SO HORRIFIED because little kids, they totally repeat what they hear and like, Ryan wrote that, LOL.

And Jon, OMG JON! Taking a bazillion pictures, documenting it all with dates and descriptions! Seriously, TOTAL WIN!

Mostly, though, Spencer just follows Ryan around like a small shadow, and Ryan remembers how Spencer used to be, how he looked after Ryan, even though Ryan was older. He’s doing it now, and Ryan wonders vaguely if maybe he’s been doing it all along.

So cute, how Spencer is still trying to take care of Ryan. *squishes him*

And lastly, the footnotes? TOTALLY MADE OF WIN! They were so awesome, I am in awe. LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!

This is so cute and sweet, haha. I love how Ryan and Spencer were just crushing on each other super cutely and then Spencer finally working up the nerve to ask Ryan out. *heart* Also, love the idea of architect!Spencer. XD (This could be my bias as an architecture student though. XP)

Walk the Line

I kind of thought this fic was amazing. I loved how Ryan and Spencer were together — I’m just a sucker for BFF stuff, you know. And then when Spencer kind of came out as bi to Ryan and Ryan kissed him, I wasn’t sure about it at first, but things are always better when they do it together and it kind of killed me in a good way because, can you say super sweet and cheesy? XP And then they were doing things and Spencer was way over his head and they were both just falling head over heels and it was cute and hot and Ryan was just clingy and then there was the angst. And seriously, major miscommunication and of course they would because they’re best friends and mmiscommunication is the worst when you know each other best, you know? And I felt for Spencer who didn’t get it and for Ryan who wanted too much and second-guessed himself and seriously, heart clench! And then the big reveal from Spencer’s mom and that was such a twist because I didn’t expect it. But yes, I kind of loved this a lot, even though Spencer/Ryan isn’t OTP to me.
