Mutual Pining

by softambrollins

It's not a secret, not really; they don't decide to not tell anyone. It's just — no one else needs to know. It's just theirs, whatever it is. He's not ashamed or afraid. He thinks it might disintegrate if exposed to sunlight, and he's not ready for that. Not yet. Or: The one where they hook up somet

you're ripped at every edge but you're a masterpiece

by Klavier

It wasn't that Adam listened to the comments from other Aglionby boys about "the brain and the brawn" or took any of their gold-plated opinions into account.It was the fearless, almost insubordinate, nature of Ronan's rolled up sleeves. Two handprints encircled his wrists, a deep violet, darker than

He blinked and, behind the boat shoes and tan ankles, Adam's face grew into sharp focus.He was looking straight at Ronan. His eyes were round, shocked into complete stillness. His cheeks were pink.

Worthy Of A Crush

by sksai

Adam Parrish is wantable, worthy of a crush, not just by anyone, but by everyone at school, apparently. Do you enjoy copious amounts of time jumps, cracky situations, POV shifting, unnecessary original characters, and Tad Carruthers? Then this is the fic for you.

Why Mutual Pining Pynch Fanfiction Works So Well

Ronan Lynch/Adam Parrish — The Raven Cycle's dreamer who pulls objects out of sleep and the scholarship boy clawing his way out of a trailer park circle each other for three books before Ronan's feelings surface — 'Ronan didn't have dreams; he had nightmares. And Adam.' Canon, and a whole trilogy sequel, followed.

Mutual Pining — Both characters are in love with each other but believe their feelings are unrequited. Readers can see the truth while characters remain oblivious.

Prickly devotion between two boys who don't believe they deserve gentleness; Maggie Stiefvater wrote the pining, fans wrote everything else. The delicious frustration of obvious mutual attraction, the anticipation of them finally realizing the truth, and the emotional payoff. That's why mutual pining Pynch fanfiction is one of the most consistently popular combinations on AO3.
