[Ronan didn't hesitate. Almost as soon as they arrived, he was making arrangements and picking out a plot of land. No payment necessary as long as he agreed to feed the locals? Fine. Perfect. He'd signed whatever he had to and picked out his favorite place in the lot, then he'd laid down in the grass and dreamt.
When he closed his eyes, he wasn't sure what he would build. The idea of "home" conjured up so many images in his mind. He thought of the Barns, of course, but also of Henrietta as a whole. He thought of Monmouth Manufacturing and dusty old books and the scent of mint. He thought of St. Agnes and its magnificent stained glass and the cramped coziness of Adam's bedroom above the office. He found Cabeswater sprouting up in the strangest places as the landscape shifted around him, spilling out of the walls and claiming rooms all for its own. Corridors and staircases emerged out of his memories, leading him through a maze of rooms both familiar and not-quite. In the end, when Ronan stepped outside to take a look at his work, he found he'd made himself a palace of nostalgia. Then he imagined a set of house keys, turned the lock of the front door, and woke up.
Ronan woke with his head resting on the welcome mat, sprawled across the front steps, gazing up at the spire of what he would dub St. Monmouth. It would be the main building of several he'd end up creating. Their new home.
Like God, he didn't rest for several days. Every time he shut his eyes, he devoted himself to dreaming something new. A farm needed animals and crops and barns and feed and equipment. Home needed streams and fish and bridges and flower gardens and glittering lights. He let his imagination run wild, and this meant that his dream things often emerged strange and senseless, but that reminded him of his father, which made the place more beautiful.
When he was finally satisfied - although not completely finished - he invited the others to join him.]
no subject
He shakes harder, yells, even slaps Ronan's face. Nothing.
Gansey tries hard not to panic. An idea pops into his head and he lets go of the front of Ronan's shirt.
He needs Ronan back, conscious, before something happens. The demon is within him. Who knows what he can do, purposely or accidentally.
With all of his Willpower, Gansey commmands:]
Wake up.
no subject
He's brought nothing from the dream. Not even the object he'd been working so many hours to perfect. Those alarmed blue eyes fly to Gansey, surprised to even see him there.]
Gansey, what -
[Wait, wait, wait. It's coming back to him. For better or worse, he remembers what he was doing. He has a good idea how Gansey interrupted him, too, and he doesn't know whether to be angry about or it grateful. It's been weeks since his dreams have gone so bad, but he'd been ready to die as long as he completed the object. On the other hand, what if he'd accidentally brought back a night horror instead? Or the demon itself?
He had been careless, and Gansey was right to stop him.]
no subject
You can't do that. You don't know what kind of things might follow you back if you work on something that big.
[Because appealing to Ronan's wellbeing wouldn't do shit and Gansey knows it, and it causes something to clench tightly in his chest. If Ronan won't look out for himself, Gansey would be around to do it. Ronan means too much to him to let him give up on himself.]
Please. Don't let this be for nothing. We will figure something out.
[They needed time to sit and think. Demon first, his life second.]
no subject
[And you're dead, Gansey. You fucking asshole, you're dead.]
What else am I supposed to do? Sit here with my thumb up my ass until the Ingress malfunctions and you start rotting like it's Night of the Living Dead?
[He means for that to come out acerbic, but instead he sounds panicked. As if the scenario is just seconds away from coming true, though the Ingress hasn't had a hiccup since they got here.]
no subject
No, but we should sit and think before we make a move.
[His tone is sharp. Not scolding, but it reveals some of his distress at waiting for Ronan to awaken and not being able to wake him up without resorting to his power.
A deep breath is let out from his nerves calming as he shifts to sit back against the wall next to Ronan.]
You can't focus right now.
[A couple of beats pass.]
What was happening?
no subject
[Because it was death, not life, that overwhelmed Ronan's thoughts, and the dream rose to meet the Greywaren's expectations. Death and death and death, open graves each with their own Gansey in various states of decay, and sometimes Noah, and sometimes Adam, and sometimes Ronan. The buzzing of a wasp out of sight, before the clicking of the night horrors became so loud he could hear nothing else.]
The dream got confused. It thought I was asking to die.
[Maybe he was.]
no subject
[Creating dream people and giving a live human life are two completely separate things. The ley line itself, with all its power, wanted a human life in return.
He's not looking at Ronan, but is looking around his room, rather impressed at all the small details Ronan had gotten correct in his room. Which books were in easier reach than others, things in the desk, his comforter...]
I didn't do this so you could turn around and throw your life away trying to get mine back.
no subject
[He must have known Ronan wouldn't stand for it. This can't possibly come as a surprise.]
no subject
I was going to die anyway.
no subject
[The most heartbreaking part of it all is he does see it. It means Ronan has to choose, now, whether to let his best friend die or to let the love of his life become possessed by the demon that's destroying him. An impossible choice. If the sacrifice can't be totally reversed, then he has to find a way to restore Gansey to life.]
If you wanna find another solution, do it fast. I'm not gonna stop dreaming.
no subject
His voice takes on a warning clip to it:]
Don't be an idiot, Lynch. I'll use my power again if I have to.
no subject
[They both know full well that Ronan won't stop until he's dreamed what he has to.]
no subject
[Of course the curse sounds all the more vulgar out of Gansey's mouth than Ronan's.
Gansey knows. He knows he can't follow Ronan around making sure he doesn't try to dream.]
Getting rid of that demon is priority number one. We should focus our efforts on that.
no subject
Great. You go read every exorcism book in the library and get back to me.
[Ronan's gonna Ronan.]
no subject
He also stops himself from rolling his eyes at that response.]
If the answer was there I'd hope you'd have found an answer by now, before I came here.
no subject
[And the library kind of creeps him out, because he has no idea where the knowledge contained in those books could have come from.]
