To a family are the people who care for you, old members who turn up, and new people who'll be turning up when you least expect it. It's the day before Ryan's birthday. And he's about to have it all in less than twelve hours. *Birthday gift for Tif S*

Sequel to "A Bitter Pill": The head of the group home Ryan stayed at is ready to stand trial for second-degree murder. Ryan is set to take the stand and testify against him, facing the man who abused him.

Boxing day in Khao Lak, Thailand 2004. The perfect vacation turn into a living nightmare when the ocean turn into a monster all around. And there is Sandy Cohen searching his wife and son. And eleven year old Ryan Atwood, missing his mum and brother but stuck in hospital with a hurt leg. But maybe they can work together to find out who got to live, and who died. AU.

Summer looks a little sympathetic, but she's smirking, so it can't be running all that deeply. "It's gonna look bad - you not wanting to help with your stepsister's wedding." / "She's also my ex," Ryan says. "And she was my ex before she was my stepsister, so I think that should be the definition we lead with."

and if Ryan was Kirsten's brother, but not the fruit of a betrayal or a lonely night?

Summer's birthday is coming up. And there's really only one thing she'd want even though that's the one thing she can't have.Even though it's not the one on the list she made with her best friend years ago. *Happy birthday to me*

Pilot episode. Sandy allows Ryan to go with his mother when she picks him up from juvie. Then the unthinkable happens.

Seth suddenly calls his dad up one day. His son and Sandy's grandchild Silas has been in an accident- he might not live. *Based on the lyrics of Untitled by Simple Plan*

Seth never really thought he'd have a child with a disability. After three boys he has a daughter and right after she's born it turns out she does. It's upsetting and chocking at first. But still, Stella's his own precious butterfly and he doesn't want her any way else. "Based on the song butterfly kisses by Bob Carlisle"

Ryan and Taylor have twins, and the first Friday of the school year their daughter Allison comes back to tell about a friend who lies. One that obviously is going through something bad. Ryan decides to do something about it, but it might already be very much too late. Oneshot *Based on the song Alyssa lies by Jason Michael Carroll*

unfinished chronicles of haiti scrant and the scranily

AU story taking place after the model home fire. Luke and his friends face assault charges for beating Ryan. Injured Ryan/caring Cohen's.

Uh just mega gay lmao

Family is behavior, not blood. [for cobalt691, chocobox 2019]

A short story I wrote about what would happen if an aunt committed suicide. it is from the perspective of the nephew of the girl who died.

Ryan Atwood is transgender. She comes to Newport with a chance to be herself. Along the way she finds new friends and even helps the Cohens by helping Seth through her own gender transition.

Takes place shortly after Trey is released from prison (The Brothers Grimm (2x17)). A completely different Trey then what we saw; one that would have been better for Ryan. It also shows Sandy and Kirsten as united couple/parents, and not how divided they seemed to be in the latter half of the second season. I've decided to continue this series.

Post series. The Cohen's, including Sophie Rose now six years old take in a foster child during the holidays. She's only staying until after new year's so nothing could happen... Could it? Well it could. So what happens when it's all about to happen in the worst possible way?

Join my O.C. J-Money as he rides up through the ranks of his gang and attempts to build his own criminal syndicate empire!

SYOC (Open) Sophie Rose is starting high school as Seth and Summer face life changing news of their own that puts them on an unexpected path. Ryan is in over his head as he meets two young runaways. And Sandy finds himself going beyond his job description once again as his tenure at Berkeley continues. The Cohens may have left the O.C. but the drama follows. (TW:Dark Storylines)

Rose Nichol passes away after a very long battle with cancer. For her last night in a hospital bed her two daughters are on either side of her. Just like it used to be when they were little. Alternative title "The longest night"

Hello, lovelies! Man, I missed being on this site so much. I really do apologize for the super-long hiatus. I’ve been having some personal and family issues over the past couple of years. While not every problem, I’ve been facing, is solved, I most certainly am in a better place now. I’m going to do my best, to close up the open stories I have, and then the real fun can begin. Love

About the life of Ryan Atwood and The Cohens; and (in my opinion) some missing scenes that totally could've happened and should've happened in the show. A bit more in-depth story about certain details in their lives and just a fun little story.

"I believe, no-", Summer began. "I know. Everything happens for a reason." Immediately Post: The Graduates.

Hopefully, a series of one-shots that show the Cohen's defending Ryan at various points throughout the series.
