Summary
Almost ten years ago, the Curtis family's world falls apart when four year old Ponyboy is taken from the park nearby. Darry and Soda are left reeling when their parents are killed in an accident two weeks before the ninth anniversary of their brother's disappearance. In order for Darry to keep custody of Soda, he has to agree to be a temporary foster care parent. With an overcrowded system, he knows this is the State's way of creating more houses, and Darry knows he'll do whatever he can to keep his brother.
However, when Peter James, a fourteen year old who demands to be called "Pony", gets put in his care, Darry can't help but think he's getting more than he bargained for. It's impossible for him not to notice the similarities, and Darry and Soda both find themselves putting all the missing pieces together so that they might reunite with their baby brother, and bring him home for good.
aka an AU where Ponyboy finds his way back to his brothers in an unconventional way, proving that he's their baby brother in every universe, and they'll always find a way to take care of him.
The title of course comes from Phil Collins

Summary
“Dar -” Soda cut in, only for his voice to be drowned out by his older brother.
“I reckon it didn’t occur to you that you’ve got two brothers waiting up for you, worried sick because you’re late? Not only late, but then coming home in a cop car no less! Do you know how many awful scenarios went through my head when I saw a cop rolling up at one in the morning when you weren’t home yet? Not to mention, despite my best efforts, Ponyboy won’t go to sleep because you’re not home. He’s too busy worrying about whether you’re okay, and you’re off at Buck’s risking my ability to keep both of you!”
The ticking time bomb inside of him finally erupted. Maybe, it was the fact that Darry didn’t ask what happened. Maybe, it was the implication that he didn’t care about his little brother. Maybe, it was the implication that he would ever jeopardize Darry’s custody willingly. Maybe, most likely, it was the combination of the three that had Soda up and on his feet, chest to chest with his older brother.
TLDR; In a twist of events, Soda comes home late, he and Darry fight over it, a five year old Ponyboy overhears a conversation he shouldn't, and the brothers deal with the consequences that comes with it.

Summary
Title is lyrics from Nettle by Ethel Cain
KitKat Curtis has always been close to her brothers and their friends. As the older twin between her and Pony, Kit has been the quiet glue that helped hold her family together after so many tragedies. Her family finds out just how much they need her when she's taken out of their home. After Ponyboy is accused of murder and runs away, Social Services deems their home an unsafe environment for a fourteen year old girl. Despite Darry's promise to get her home as soon as possible, it takes 6 months to get her home. A mismanaged case causes Kit to be thrown into her worst nightmare. By the time she gets home, it's hard to say how much of her truly returned.
This story is an exploration of grief, trauma, and healing, while trying to navigate difficult sibling relationships. AU in the respect that Dally and Johnny survive! Please read the tags and the notes at the beginning of each chapter for trigger warnings.

Summary
Opening the door, Darry shut it behind him, and then moved until he was kneeling down next to his brother’s bed. He put a hand on his back, rubbing it gently, as he murmured, “Hey baby, it’s okay. Just breathe for me.” The moniker only made Ponyboy cry harder and it took Darry a moment to catch onto what he was saying. “I’m not your baby. I’m never gonna be anyone’s baby ever again,” he wailed. Darry’s heart squeezed, and he was pulling Ponyboy into his arms before he could even register that he was doing it. He pulled his brother’s face to his and put their foreheads against one another, not allowing Ponyboy to pull away.
aka grief hits five year old Ponyboy fast and hard, causing him to act out, and for him and Darry to have a much needed conversation.

Summary
On the list of people to babysit, Steve ranked right above deadlast. That spot was typically reserved for Dally, because despite how good he typically was with the youngest Curtis, he wasn’t responsible enough to handle babysitting duties. Steve was a close second at the bottom of the line up though, because while he was responsible enough, he didn’t really have the patience to handle watching a child, especially one as inquisitive and curious as Ponyboy Curtis.
aka Steve winds up babysitting a five year old Ponyboy, and things are going well until they aren't. A run in with the socs in the park causes him to reevaluate his relationship with the youngest member of their gang.
part of my "to build a home" series, featuring a much younger Ponyboy.

Summary
This is a series of one shots where Darry Curtis is acting as a parental figure! I have several ideas and plan to put them all here as I go. They aren't in chronological order, and you don't have to read them all in order to understand what's happening, but they do take place in the same universe/timeline unless otherwise stated! I plan to pull from the novel, musical, and pieces from the tv show (because you can pry Scout from my cold dead hands). If you have any requests feel free to toss 'em in the comments and I'll do my best!

Summary
“—okay, that’s unusual,” the first commentator’s voice is saying over the footage. “Hm. Ladies and gentlemen, it seems that, thanks to some last-minute additions to the broadcast, we’ll be able to get an audio feed straight from the arena today!”
Ilya frowns. Who the fuck was stupid enough to get mic’d for this fucking game? Some idiot rookie from Toronto, probably. They really don’t teach kids how to handle anything these days.
“That’s right!” The second announcer pipes up with an annoyingly fake cheery voice. Ilya immediately wants to send a puck straight into his windpipe. “We just got confirmation that Captain Shane Hollander himself will be wearing a microphone during tonight’s game.”
Ilya sits up and spins to face the TV screen fast enough to give a lesser man whiplash.
Shane doesn’t get injured when Ilya comes back from Russia in 2017, so Ilya follows through on his plan to end things between them. A year later, despite being miserable, he still believes he did the right thing for both of them.
Except the Voyageurs have been acting weird around Hollander lately. And wait, what do you mean he’s mic’d for this game?- Language:

Summary
Rookie Shane Hollander starts his hockey career with the Boston Raiders and catches the eye of the team captain, Ilya Rozonov.
“Hmm…” Ilya hums, eyes dropping to Shane’s lips again. “I think you’d like that.”
“Like what?”
Those ice blue eyes jump back up to Shane’s, as Ilya lowers his hand slightly, lifting Shane’s chin just a little as his fingers wrap gently around his throat. Not squeezing, just holding.
Shane’s eyes go wide, but he doesn’t move. He reaches out a hand to Ilya’s chest to push him away, but then finds his fingers curling into Ilya’s shirt instead.
Ilya grins. “You like that, Hollander?” His voice is deep, dangerous.

Summary
The touch burned: broad strength, casually possessive, callused fingertips dragging across the cloth of his shirt. Shane was six feet and near ninety kilograms of muscle, and Rozanov touched him and steered him like he expected to be obeyed, and Shane-
He leaned back, caught by the unthinking pull of Rozanov's dominance. Leaned into Rozanov's hand before his brain could even come online and beg for the silence submission promised, body too stupid and touch-starved to know any better. Too easy.
Shame welled hot in his throat. He controlled the instinctual jerk away and covered it with a step forward, allowing Rozanov's hand to slide off his back as he ducked towards the bar entrance.

Shane Hollander, newly free of Montreal and all its memories, is ready to start a new life as the alternate captain for the Ottawa Centaurs. His need to submit, his post-concussion syndrome, his nightmares - he can plan for them, control them, and deny them.
Too bad no plans survive contact with the immovable object that is Ilya Rozanov, the Centaurs' captain.
