Мне явно надо уже идти спать, но нашла старый фик, который как-то до того не попадался мне. Вообще совсем короткий джен про двух друзей, но он просто таки разрезал меня на части.
They spend the first three days in bed, and then Spencer forces himself to do the grown-up things he's been neglecting. He pays bills and goes to see his parents. He and Haley buy a new sofa for the living room. He means to call Ryan—he really does, he even writes it on a sticky note and puts it on his bathroom mirror. But then one of the dogs gets sick, and Haley's grandfather dies and they have to fly to Illinois for the funeral, and Brendon has (yet another) sexual identity crisis and sleeps in Spencer's guest room for a few days, and after two weeks Spencer takes the note off the mirror and throws it in the trash.
They're home for a month and Ryan doesn't call once, but it's okay, because it's not like Spencer calls either.

Когда ничего не случилось. Просто people growing apart. И комментарии к фику, особенно эти:
>>>Oh, wow, this is gorgeous and painful and so real, a glimpse of the way relationships change and fall apart without any drama or angst whatsoever, they just cease to be the same.
I think most relationships fail in a very quiet, undramatic sort of way, just a slow disintegration.
Потому что that's exactly what happens.
