Many people talk about how they love Adam Parrish but I just wanna say: I absolutely love Gansey.
He’s like the greatest nerd and the biggest dork you can think of. He’s 17 and 50 at the same time. His personal style is horrible. His friends are magical creatures/trees/dead/200 years old professors/Henry Cheng.
He has notebooks full of useless stuff. He lives in an era of smartphones and still makes handwritten notes and snippets of newspapers. He built a miniaturized Henrietta - no normal person would do that.
He had one wild obsession and was ready to give everything including his life for it.
He drives an unpractical and ugly car just because he feels good with it (it’s like the equivalent of wearing t-shirts with superheroes on them).
He’s just such a nerd and I love him for it. And for the fact that he doesn’t even hide it. Even the judge is like “hey did you find your dead king?”, the whole school is like “ah yes the Glendower, Gansey’s bf”.
this was made possible by the amazing @thecorvidrotation who supplied a bomb-ass playlist for me to write from, the links to which you can find here (plus other extra goodies!), and by the wonderful @longinghomecoming who beta’d and made sure I made sense.
The first of three concepts I pitched for this year’s reverse @ravencyclebigbang! I began with the prompt “Cabeswater doesn’t bring Gansey back” and a handful of melancholy songs, and from that @silhouette-sky created this absolutely incredible fic about Gansey and his friends facing the (permanent) end to his journey.
Both fic and fanmix were developed in tandem over this event as two halves of a whole experience, so we recommend listening while you read.
