    Summary

    “You’re supposed to be better!” And Ponyboy heard better, and he heard supposed to be different, supposed to be able to do this, live life, not be a burden, not be traumatized, not let drunk men beat him into giving up a month of his brother’s pay. “You’re– c’mon!”

    Ponyboy cracked. It was his fault, again, it was his fault in the way it was always his fault and if only he hadn’t been here, and if only he had never been here–

    “I wish I’d never been born!”

    -

    Or: happy holidays, I present the "it's a wonderful life" AU no one asked for.

    Johnny’s breath started coming quicker.

    He was breathing. He was alive and blinking and thinking and-

    Hyperventilating. Johnny was hyperventilating. He’d been dead. He had died. He had stopped breathing. And now he was breathing again.

    He was breathing again and he couldn’t breathe.

    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.

    Sodapop Curtis loves a lot.
    After one thing after another, he seems to forgets how to love at all.

     

    Writing exercise with Soda — not written necessarily as a diary entry, or an inner monologue, not even as a projection fic. It’s a secret fourth thing in his perspective where he just gets sad with himself and his memories.

    Summary

    The lives of the Curtis brothers are turned upside down when someone from Dally's past appears in their lives one day. Angry, hungry for revenge, and blinded by grief, he kidnaps Sodapop and Ponyboy Curtis.

    Soon enough, the gang learns that they know even less about Dallas Winston than they thought.

    Darry is prepared to tear Tulsa apart if it means finding his brothers, but will he find them before it's too late? Or will the gang once again have to attend two funerals in the same week?

    Summary

    "It was laughable now, that these were the sorts of things he used to worry about. Last year for his birthday, Darry had gotten the responsibility of keeping both his brothers alive and out of the custody of the state, a full-time job, and a mortgage (seriously, who the hell thought it was a good idea to give a twenty-year-old a mortgage?) He'd also gotten a candy bar and a sports magazine from Soda, but the nice gesture had been rather lost in everything that came after."

     

    Or: several months after the deaths of Dally and Johnny, the gang tries to piece their lives back together, one month at a time.
