  Summary

  it’s officially ponyboy curtis’ sixteenth birthday, and almost two years since tulsa, oklahoma lost three people in the span of a week.

  ponyboy doesn’t ask for much for his birthday. all he wants are his family and friends to be with him. he falls asleep, right in between his brothers, and wakes up somewhere he shouldn’t.

  now, ponyboy curtis has to figure out how to stop the events of the outsiders from happening, all while doing it from afar.

   

  or; author wanted to do a small spin on the “time-travel fix-it” fics.
