    Summary

    Things have been good, lately.

    Trinity has been good. She likes going to work—likes the thrill of particularly difficult cases, likes the easy back-and-forth she’s starting to build with her coworkers, even likes arguing with Langdon. She likes her little apartment and she likes that she gets to share it with Dennis. (It’s way cleaner, now, and she eats real food half the time. And she has something to do in the evenings other than think about everything she’s lost).

    Things have been good.

    She should’ve fucking known what would happen if she let her guard down.

    ~~~

    Trinity is cornered on her way home from work. She gets out of it with a stab wound and a whole new wave of old trauma. (And of course, her least favorite coworker is the only one there to talk her down.)

    Summary

    Love gets them into all kinds of things, doesn’t it?

    It’s what got them into this one after all. Darry loved his brothers enough to throw all his dreams away, loved them enough to spend his twenties breaking his back, loved them enough to become a completely different man. The Darry from last year was gone and they weren’t ever going to see it again.


    When Darry's hurt turns into something a whole lot worse, everyone realizes that he's the only thing holding everything together. What do you do when the glue's gone and you're left with only the shards?

    Summary

    When the Curtis parents died, Darry was only three semesters away from graduating college. He gave it all up to take care of his brothers and return to life as a greaser.

    OR: an AU where Darry was much farther into college when he had to come home. It changes a lot of things, some things are always the same.

    Summary

    Sodapop Curtis comes home from Vietnam spitting, shining; the tarmac the plane floats on down to at Travis gleams grease-gold in the sun of early morning. The strap of his rucksack is cutting lines into the pink of his palm. He’s got another plane to catch back to Tulsa, back to Darry and Ponyboy, the lope of the sun splitting the street into strips of light. One year. He hadn’t let himself miss it, hardly.
    12 months.
    Steve’s been dead 2.
