Summary
“You know, most people, when they make a new friend, take them out to coffee. Maybe a movie. Hang at the park. They don’t fuck their boyfriends.”
“He won’t be his boyfriend,” Adam said, “That’s the whole point. I’m not going to do anything until he’s single.” He ignored her glare, “All I’m doing is accelerating their trajectory a bit. They’d break up anyway. Have you seen them?”
“Homewrecker.”
“If a relationship is ruined by a deck of cards, it's hardly a home to wreck.”
•••
Adam wants Ronan. Ronan is with Gansey. Adam uses tarot to rectify the situation. If you really think about it, he's not doing anything wrong.

Supposedly Ronan taught Adam to drive stick shift. Turns out Adam had been fluent in the ways of manual transmissions for years.
My take on their driving "lesson" in The Raven Boys.

Summary
Bruce needs Superman angry.
Five years ago, this wouldn’t have been a problem. But somewhere in the intermediary years they’ve grown something of a … rapport. Kal’s gotten less flighty, Batman’s critiques have become an expected and endearing quirk, and their post-battle arguments have ebbed from claws and teeth into something more like a post-battle eyeroll and knowing grin. Some would call this growth - a foray into friendship the likes of which Bruce Wayne has scarcely known - but, 235 days, 3 hours, and 22 minutes since their last blowout argument and Bruce is a veritable fish out of water. Your regular boat unmoored. He needs a fix. And so, operation Red Hot is born.
Or: welcome to Bruce Wayne's 3-point guide to righting a perfectly normal relationship.
