rsadelleSummary: Tyler comes out (over and over again), dates, hooks up, and eventually meets a guy.
Notes: This story starts summer 2013, but I started writing it in fall 2012, so consider it a slight AU where Tyler's Twitter shenanigans never happened, he didn't get traded to Dallas, and Brownie and Julie never broke up. Title from Ke$ha's "Too Much (More Is The Cure)." Spoilers for season 3 of The O.C..
Content Notes: At one point, characters visit the 9/11 Memorial and Museum. I have attempted to treat this sensitively and not exploitatively, but if you don't want to read about it, you will want to skip the trip to New York section of the story. I have also attempted to project what that experience might be like in the future, but reality is likely to be different from my guess. Tyler's family members appear as characters. If that is not your thing, you may want to skip this story.
Thanks are due to many people. First, to Lake and ninja_orange for encouraging me, reading along, and answering questions. To the participants in the cheerleading aspect of the Anti-Lockout Squee Fest and my post-lockout check-in email thread, who kept me on track. To the many, many other people who answered questions I threw out on Twitter. Thank you to all of you for your help and support.
