    Summary

    Independence, Missouri
    1851

    Everyone has something to run from.

    Ponyboy, Sodapop, and Darry Curtis from their life of poverty, a rough city, and memories of their late parents.

    Keith “Two-Bit” Mathews, from a life spent too long at the bottom of a bottle and a house fire he was too out of sorts to do anything about.

    Steve Randle, from his father, who has kicked him out for the final time.

    Johnny Cade, from his abusive father and uncle, memories of his negligent late mother, and a half-world of his heritage between the Lakota and the white settlers of the trading post.

    Dalton “Dally” Winston, from a murder that no one else will truly believe was in defense of Johnny Cade.

    Free land in Oregon starts to sound more and more appealing. A new life. Atonement. Everything else they’re looking for.

    It won’t be an easy journey, though. They might not all come out the other side. But this ragtag bunch, both old friends and new, is determined to get their last chance at a new start before it slips away from them for good.

     

    Or

     

    The Curtis gang takes the Oregon Trail.

    Summary

    Nebraska Territory: 1861

    Ponyboy Curtis has been riding for the Pony Express since its inauguration a year ago. His gang and family works at the home station he frequents. It’s hard work, but it’s thrilling. The mail must be fast, no matter what.

    That rhythm is broken after an accident during a thunderstorm on the trail, and Pony doesn’t come into the home station on time. At all.

    It’s life or death, and it’s up to Ponyboy and the Curtis gang at the Little Blue River Station.

    Summary

    This is a POV Darry fic (third-person) of the events of The Outsiders. If you haven't, I'd highly recommend reading my prequel, Unreliable, first, to get a full scope!

    Based on the novel, with original dialogue. This will also delve into past memories through the years of the Curtis brothers.
