a river of honey, spirits, and blood by departures (sixties)
Fandoms: The Outsiders - All Media Types, The Outsiders (1983)
08 Oct 2021

Summary
"Sometimes…. Just sometimes wish I could write to them. Let them know I ain't dead." His thumb runs along Dallas' own. "Tell 'em I'm happy, that I love you."
That's an impulse that Dallas will never get completely, even if it's been decades. There have been times where Ponyboy's broken, cried after a reminder of his brothers: someone with Soda's smile, someone who had that sharp tone of Darry's or his build. Times where Ponyboy has woken from a nightmare and Dallas knows it's about how he had killed the Cade kid, Ponyboy momentarily tensing up, afraid before the rest of him remembered everything else. Even if they've become less, faded over time, he can't forget Ponyboy telling him that he couldn't make them stop.
He can't make the nightmares stop, can't stop feeling for his brothers, his parents.
It's 1983, in a small town in Texas. Ponyboy and Dallas ran anyway after Johnny Cade was killed and now, the law has come to collect them, whether they want to go or not.

Summary
In September 1965, the movie Who Killed Teddy Bear? is playing at The Nightly Double.
In the drive in, Cherry Valance has a plan to finally make Dallas Winston notice her, to finally be his girlfriend now that Sylvia is exposed for the cheater she is.
Instead, Ponyboy Curtis shows up to the drive in, looking for an escape from his grief, from his pain. Dallas Winston catches his scent, and his eye.
None of them know that by the next morning, the Soc Johnny Cade will be dead all because Dallas Winston decides that maybe he should be kissing Ponyboy Curtis, instead of Cherry Valance.

Summary
Amidst the glowing reviews, the packed movie theaters, and interview after interview, it seems as if Ponyboy Curtis is moving up in the world. In fact, he's moving up so fast in the world that he's been granted something rare: the presence of Dallas Winston, star of The Cheerleader franchise!
The winding tale of two horror franchises and the two stars that made them pop: Dallas Winston and Ponyboy Curtis, the killer and the final boy. Told through slightly unconventional means.

Summary
Ponyboy Curtis was going to be an alpha. A real tuff one, too. His brothers were alphas, all his friends were alphas, so he’d be one too. He was gonna be an alpha, he was gonna go to college and he was going to get out of Tulsa like he’d always wanted. The only issue with his dream was… He wasn’t going to be doing any of it.
Or, Ponyboy Curtis presents as an omega and has his life flipped upside down. Eventual Dallyboy.

Summary
"When this is over," Ponyboy says, his tongue heavy in his mouth, "Or if things don't go right, I love you, Dally. No matter what."
Dallas, beneath the stars, with his dark hair a mess above his eyes, shakes his head. "Pony, I'm not gonna let you go to the fucking - to the jail house, if you lose. I'm not." There's an odd determined glow to his eyes as Ponyboy runs his fingers through his hair. "Jail — I know jail would turn Johnny into something else. If you went in — "
"If I went in, I wouldn't blame nobody. Not as long as you're there for me," the words are drowsy, heavy and he doesn't want to talk about it anymore. "I love you, Dally. That's what matters."
September, 1965 — Johnny and Dallas live. That doesn't make things any easier for Ponyboy, not with his omega dynamic singling him out, his best friend dealing with life long injuries now, his family life still a tightrope he has to navigate, a court case on the horizon that will decide his fate, and his growing, mutual attraction to Dallas Winston getting stronger by the day.
What he doesn't know is that more people are in his corner than he thinks. And that maybe, things will be okay.

blue hawaii, 1979 by synthesizer (sixties)
Fandom: The Outsiders (1983), The Outsiders - S. E. Hinton

Summary
Ponyboy Curtis disappeared for five years — a solid feat for someone who was once the face of the 1980s, guiding almost every major pop movement, always came to the forefront with an opinion on the world whether it be poverty or the handling of overseas politics, and was always occupying that space with his bandmate, lover, and mate, Dallas Winston.
Ponyboy's a punk, Dallas is the head of Thrushcross and for a few blazing, beautiful, glorious years, they make the most beautiful music possible.

09 Sep 2025
Summary
I loved the country. I wanted to be out of towns and away from excitement. I only wanted to lie on my back under a tree and read a book or draw a picture, and not worry about being jumped or carrying a blade or ending up married to some scatterbrained broad with no sense.
Ponyboy makes it to the countryside, as a Soc with Dallas Winston, the toughest greaser in Tulsa. All it took was a movie theater, killing Johnny Cade's and a train. They'll stay there, forever.
(They won't. At least not until his brothers find him in 1983 and pull him back home against his will.)

Summary
John turned worried to Two-Bit. "I thought we might have longer."
Two-Bit nodded and brought Darry over to sit on the couch. "But now will be fine. We'd already talked it over, love."
John hesitated before sitting with them. "Gosh, it really is beyond time…" He rubbed the swollen lump of anthers under the skin at the very base of Darry's neck.
"I built a nest today," Darry said. "I'm so ready... I really want it."
"You did such a good job, dear." John offered.
"You haven't even seen it to know…" Darry replied.
"Mhm, but I still know. I know you'll be such a good parent. You haven't got to prove it to us."
"...Give it to me, please," Darry begged.

Summary
The tragedy that befalls Dallas and Johnny doesn't happen. Which means that life continues on — Ponyboy has to confront his identity as an omega, and eventually his romance with Dallas Winston.
And it's not necessarily easy or simple. Not when Dallas has a much more checkered past than what anyone knows and a future that leads down to the Mob.
But he has Ponyboy and Ponyboy has him.

Summary
If two points are destined to touch, the universe will always find a way to make the connection - even when all hope seems to be lost. Certain ties cannot be broken. They define who we are - and who we can become. Across space, across time, among paths we cannot predict - nature always finds a way.

Summary
"Looks like we caught you two doing much more than disturbing the peace," One cop says, the lights from the cop cars washing over them in red and blue.
Ponyboy has never been arrested before. It is 1967, and after Tim Shepard calls a rumble, that changes.
It's a real good thing that he isn't arrested alone. Real good.

Summary
Ponyboy's hand on his elbow, squeezing hard, pulling him back, voice panicked, "Darry — Darry quit it!" Even if he says the name, Dallas knows that warning is more for him. "Dallas is my boyfriend."
Oh. That name.
Darry: the big brother Ponyboy spoke about sometimes, who always seemed to have given Ponyboy a hard time, who pushed him to leave tulsa and do better for himself, who hit him once in his life and never again, who had a wife and pups and shouldn't be in New York but was here, and now, and giving Ponyboy a hard time.
He wasn't an ex boyfriend — just an annoying older brother, confronting his brother in a hallway like an asshole.
In 1981, after a mob job, Dallas goes to see Ponyboy, but there's an uninvited guest there waiting for him and with it comes the introduction of the Curtis pack to Dallas.
Things go smoothly. well. smooth in Dallas' estimation and Darry's estimation are a little different.

Summary
Very few things got under Darrel "Darry" Curtis' skin, and on the off chance that something did, he didn't often let it show. If anyone wanted to get underneath his skin quickly, targeting his brothers would be the best way to go. Try as he might, Darry couldn't always keep his cool, collected mask on when his brothers were brought up, even in passing. Being the eldest brother and an alpha, he was naturally protective and suspicious, and there were times when those traits surfaced.
Such as right now.

Summary
"Look," Two-Bit's voice breaks through the sound of the heavy rain, his voice strained, "I know you don't want me in your business —"
"So keep out of it," the words are bitten out roughly, unconcerned with how Two-Bit might feel, what he might think. That didn't matter right now, none of the concern, the conflicted looks....
He didn't want or need any of it.
After a job, Dallas just needs one thing: Ponyboy.

Summary
"I don't know who I am anymore, around them," Ponyboy exhales smoke slowly, so happy that he'd allowed Dallas to buy him different cigarettes to test and taste, happy to be out with him in their own little hideout, "I feel like I ain't a Soc anymore. Feels like I was a greaser born in the wrong body."
Dispatches from a Tulsa embroiled in a Romeo and Juliet inspired conflict.
