You sound like a very busy girl Mara ;) A story where Ryan was the child of Jimmy and Kirsten? My first thought was the "and now something completely different" story, brandywine has been writing for a while (and if you haven't read that one yet, please do because she's one of the OC's greatest writers out there). Brandy's story is also one of my favourites because we're talking about a season one AU with a comparable plot yet many differing details to canon. Now your story-idea is another interesting take on that basic principle of the Kirsten/Jimmy/Ryan situation and one I would definitely like to read. Shoot me if you want, but these s1 alternative universes are probably my greatest passion ever :)
You have mentioned your liking of the Ryan/Kaitlyn friendship on several occasions and I can agree with you, the few and in between scenes they have on the show are cute and special moments. On another note, I would love to read bitchy Marissa, I would love to take a good look back to season one Julie Cooper (because we haven't seen her for so long and I seriously start missing her) and of course a Kirsten/Sandy/Seth/Ryan family in the making where Ryan is already an important part to both parents would be another new thing for you to try your hands on.
Or a long story short: I love most of your writing and while I keep putting your angsty/gory stories like "Heavily Broken" or "With A Wimper" off for later, I'd definitely get my fingers on each and every chapter of that AU immediately :D
