    Summary

    What if, in the time Ponyboy and Johnny were gone, the State called Darrel's guardianship into question, resulting in Soda getting taken away?
    -

    “No, no, no, Ms. Miller,” Darry splutters, gripping the doorframe for dear life, “Y-You can’t, you can’t take him-”
    “Until this situation has been resolved,” She ploughs over his pleading, “Sodapop will be placed in a boys’ home; It’s not too far, you can still see-”
    “Please, you can’t do this-”
    “This is for his own good, Darrel.”

    Summary

    The latch on the mailbox squeaks, always has, and the hinge is rusty, but it opens just the same. Pony grabs the stack of papers inside and leafs through. Bills, junk, more bills, more junk. And underneath, in an envelope so pristinely white it nearly glows;

    Mr. Curtis
    731 North St. Louis Ave
    Tulsa, Oklahoma
    74106

    Ponyboy damn near chokes on his own heart. Mr. Curtis has never been anyone but his father, and sometimes Darry when the state comes knockin’. But there's no mistaking who it's for; the crisp seal, a bright red circle next the return address, is a dead giveaway. The University of Oklahoma.

    or; Ponyboy has his first panic attack.

    Summary

    Soda realises there is literally no point in arguing or protesting, no matter how much he might like to. Darry has that look of bulldog determination on his face, and there’s not a force on earth that can move it when he gets his mind on something.
    “Head hurts like a bitch, I feel like I haven’t slept in a week, and my chest is a little tight.” Soda lists and, as if to prove the point, he wheezes out a cough that only seems to tighten the rubber band around his ribs.
    ~
    Sodapop is sick. Hasn't anyone told Darry's little brothers that that isn't allowed? Especially when fever hazes make little brothers say things Darry wishes they wouldn't.

    Summary

    It’s the day after the festival, and Freya can’t help but be overwhelmed with joy — she’d just confessed her feelings to the most wonderful girl in existence, after all — and if everything goes as she hopes, they’ll soon be moving to Primeldorf together, where she can pursue her dream of becoming a seamstress with the woman she loves more than anything.

    … She just wished she could remember why she had Elise’s brooch.

    Summary

    Before he started going by "Clark" (because Chaim is an easy way to get yourself beat up or worse), before he told Bev's parents that his last name was German (he feels sick to his stomach every time he thinks of the way he nodded and grinned), before he knew how his parents got to Tulsa and why they came (it's better to forget it's better to forget it's better to forget), before he dared to ask how come we never see our grandparents (they aren't coming back. don't think about it.), before he missed Passover for a punch party, before he buried his Star of David at the bottom of his sock drawer (where no one will find it, he tells himself repeatedly, like a prayer), before the mezuzah that burns a hole in his pocket as he lets his friends (are they friends?) come to his house for the first time ever today, Clark Brillstein didn't always hide.

    Summary

    “Darrel, honey, are you alright?” Mrs. Holden asks. Mortifyingly, a sob rips itself from his chest, and she questions him further. “Sweetheart, what do you need?”

    “Um, my brother’s really sick,” he explains, his voice shaky. “He’s been throwing up for, like, twelve hours and he can’t—he can’t keep anything down and he’s got a real bad fever and he’s asking for our mom and I don’t—” He lets out another strangled sob. “I don’t know what to do.”

    “I’ll be there in fifteen minutes,” she says. Darry chokes out a sigh of relief.

    Summary

    Being queer in the 1960s was not for the weak, it was a time of secrecy and deception, being unwanted and unsafe sex. Everything was risky, relaxing wasn’t even a word in anyone’s vocabulary. Being fifteen and queer in a good for nothing town was an even worse situation that Ponyboy Curtis just had to be a part of.

    He’d always known that something was wrong with him, he preferred reading books and drawing to playing football and while he was a good fighter violence wasn’t up to his taste. He wasn’t like his brothers who could fight for the fun of it even though they knew that he felt differently from them. But they’d always thought that he was just a late bloomer when it came to girls.

     

    Or Ponyboy is queer and dating Curly Shepard in a homophobic time, he’s scared of being outed.

    Summary

    When Ponyboy Curtis woke up there was a stabbing pain in his head and a blurry surroundings. He was on the floor in the changing rooms though he had no clue how he’d gotten there, he felt as if all the energy had been drained from his body. Small events started to come back to him, he had gym third period which explained where he was and his next lesson was maths.

    With no clue what time it was and the knowledge that he couldn’t lay on the floor forever Ponyboy dragged himself up. As he managed to sit up the surroundings started to become blurry and he found himself touching his head in a futile attempt to dull the pain. One leg at a time he stood up and found himself leaning on the wall to stay upright. He hurriedly blinked and then felt something liquid pour from his nostrils.

    Or Ponyboy Curtis gets injured by believes it’s nothing.

    This is how the world actually works: instead of leading soldiers into battle, Shang is given command over a disorganized bunch of conscripted civilians who don't know the business end of a sword. Instead of fighting to defend China, he is stuck training these misfits into something resembling soldiers. And instead of being devoted to a wife or his job as a soldier, he is becoming attracted to one of his men.
