So... yeah. Ryan/Summer ficlet. Takes place about 17 years after the 'Heavily Broken' ended, 13 years after Alone Again, Naturally, the Timestamp Meme Fic for the story, and it's helpful to at least reread that one, since several things from it are mentioned. HB ended very bittersweet in terms of R/S, with them broken up but with some hope for the future. AA,N was far more bitter, with revelations about Ryan being estranged from the Cohens, and Summer completely breaking his heart... and, yeah, Seth being dead of a drug overdose. This one, though, ends a lot more on the sweet spectrum.
A reminder before you click... Heavily Broken is the one where Ryan didn't call Sandy after getting kicked out by Dawn, and wound up spending six months as a hustler on the streets before being raped, at which point the Cohens got involved and took Ryan in, leading he and Summer to get involved. Near the end of the fic, Ryan was diagnosed HIV Positive, and he ended up breaking up with Summer. I know at least one person told me they couldn't take reading it (I'm spacing who now) because of Ryan's HIV status, so I wanted to make sure to warn that yes, Ryan is HIV Positive in this ficlet, but he is healthy and taking good care of himself at this point.
