    Summary

    Michael had always been the mitigator of their family. He held onto Ponyboy's ramblings about feeling left out, kept Sodapop sane when Sandy's abandonment came back to haunt him, and covered the bills Darry's job wouldn't be able to cover.


    Michael Curtis, at nineteen, was the second oldest of them all. The sarcastic, funny and 'lazy' one who never could get his words out right. Life, after their parents' deaths, leaves him feeling numb and out of control; something he gets back in a 'magic cure' his coworker hooks him up with. But nothing worth having is free.

    Summary

    Darry Curtis lost both of his parents in an unfortunate accident. He was somewhat lucky though. He’s an adult and he’ll inherit the house and his father’s company. His life will change, but it won’t lose everything he’s ever known at least. The same can’t be said for everyone though. Another couple died in the accident, the parents of two boys from the East side that are now being put into the foster system. Something about the unfairness has Darry make a big decision. Although maybe he would’ve thought more about it if he knew what taking on the Miller brothers really entailed.

    Summary

    My take on how Darry keeps law and order within the gang.

    Will contain spanking of teens by an older brother figure. This story is in no way meant to endorse corporal punishment. I don't condone spanking of minors in real life. This is simply a hurt/comfort fic, set in an AU in which spanking is an accepted (which it shouldn't be irl) and effective (which it isn't irl) form of discipline.

    Summary

    It had been three months since the events of Windrixville and Ponyboy was taking it day by day. He couldn’t think deeply about most things anymore, but after an embarrassing problem arises, a stubborn thought won’t leave his mind. An unconventional coping mechanism that Pony hates is helping him.

    His brothers and the gang don’t quite understand but they would give anything to get their old Ponyboy back. Pony would give anything to still stay tuff in their eyes.

    Summary

    "Things had to change. His father would be watching soon, hoping that Artemis would make the right choices. And if he didn't, Artemis Senior would quite possibly take those choices away from him." - Excerpt from Artemis Fowl: The Eternity Code.

    After one of Artemis's schemes once again puts him - and his friends and family - in danger, Artemis Senior and his wife decide enough is enough. They will not continue to enable their son's bad decisions, and ask for some external help in teaching Artemis how to grow up and take responsibility for himself.

    But Artemis has made quite a few enemies up til now, and they have their own goals involving Artemis.

    Without his usual resources, Artemis is stuck relying on the last people he wants to work with to keep him alive.
