[at_the_c_side]

Title: Diamonds, Loose
Author:
at_the_c_side (Alison)
Rating: NC-17 overall for sex, language and ~adult themes
Pairing: Brendon/Ryan
POV: 1st, Ryan's
Disclaimer: I am pretty sure this never happened. If you're stupid enough to think I'm insinuating it did, maybe you shouldn't be on the internet. If you got here by googling yourself or your friends, then please, go back now.
Summary: Ryan thinks he's got everything planned. That is, until Brendon turns up at his high school, and shows him how unstable he really is. It's a story about lust, angst, and how no matter how hard you try, you can't really escape when you're in love. Highschool!AU.
A/N: So, I maybe sort of did NaNoWriMo. And clearly, because I'm me, I wrote a fic. I'm now wondering why I was ever worried about not reaching the 50k mark because as you can see, I went a little overboard. This is pretty long. I'm so sorry. But if you give it a chance, I'll be eternally grateful to you. This thing completely kicked my ass but I'm kind of proud of it, and a whole lot of time and effort and tears went into this - so if you enjoy it, please do feel free to leave me a comment, tell me what you think. Comments make me smile. :-) Thanks, happy reading!

Oh also, massive gigantic thanks to Jodie (canary_feather) for the cheerleading/flailing/keysmashes/suggestions/general awesomeness whilst this was being written. ily :**
