Disclaimer: I don't own any of the The OC characters.
Notes: To fully understand this fic, you should read
The Unexpected first. I think most of it is self explainitory, after a fashion. Most of it was written back when Season 2/early Season 3 was first airing, so it doesn't mesh with the canon timeline in the slightest beyond season one, and even that is AU (The Theresa-Baby mess didn't happen).
Like I said when I asked if anyone was interest, it has some problems in terms of things moving along way to fast and unrealistically, but... it still love this universe and it's wacky-nonsense... lol...
And believe me when I say, this fic IS Ryan/Summer, they just aren't together as it starts...
