Summary
“Flo - remember I have to leave early today ok? It’s the kids’ first day back at school.”
“Fine,” Flo replied, not looking up from her desk and her breakfast. “You needed to tell me this at 10:30 in the morning?”
Hopper rolled his eyes before going back into his office. Perhaps he was a bit on edge about Billy’s first day back at school and El starting her second year at Hawkins High. He sat down and ran a hand over his tired face. Would every day be like this? Wondering if both kids would get through the school day without any incident?

Summary
Stiles knew the way everyone looked at the two of them, like they were some mythical star-crossed lovers. That they pushed and challenged each other in all the right ways and one day they would fall hopelessly in love.
Stiles thought they were usually the only odd two out that weren’t always paired up; that’s why everyone kept pushing and picturing them together. Sure, he knew Derek was attractive, anyone with eyes could see that, but he wasn’t the great love of his life. He was just his pack member.
Members of their pack had come and gone--some by choice and others, God, Stiles couldn’t even think some of their names let alone even bear to say them out loud. But despite it all, Scott, Stiles, and Derek had stayed together and would stay together. The only three permanent members in Stiles’ mind.
Stiles hadn’t given up part of himself so that he and Derek could fall madly in love. He just did what anyone else in his tri-fold pack would have done for him; watched his back, gave him another chance, extended his life for as much longer as he could.

Summary
Sometimes when Derek visited Stiles at school and didn’t want to socialize with Stiles’ friends and burnout of a roommate, he changed into the wolf.

Summary
Derek had moved from the table into the gap between Stiles’ legs where they still hung down from the counter. His hand was brushing the bruise on Stiles’ cheek, his son unconsciously leaning into the touch and Derek murmuring something that sounded like, “He’ll never do it again.” Stiles dropped his head to Derek’s shoulder and the boy’s hand went from Stiles’ cheek to the back of his neck, resting lightly.
Up until now John had hoped this had just been some sort of whiskey induced hallucination, but now-now he wasn’t so sure.
Or the one in which Derek is even more protective than Papa Stilinski.

Summary
Ponyboy Curtis didn’t do drugs– or at least, he hadn’t before. Or maybe he still hadn’t, and all the fuzziness and blankness and distance between himself and the rest of the world was something else. Something… not drugs.
'Right,' Pony thought, his hand gripping a railing on a staircase he didn’t recognize, in a house he had never stepped foot in, 'but this is probably drugs.'
-
Months after the almost-murder of Bob Sheldon, Ponyboy has mostly gotten back to normal. Johnny is fine, he's fine, the not sleeping is fine, the fear of cold water is fine: he just has to convince everyone else of these facts, too.

Summary
“I don’t mean for this to sound harsh.” Darrel said, turning back to look at Ponyboy from the doorway. “But this won’t be your permanent home. It's nothing personal. We just can't afford another mouth to feed long term.”
Pony nodded. That made sense. Why would anyone want to keep him for longer than they absolutely had to?
-----
or: the AU where foster kid Ponyboy is placed to temporarily live with Darry and Soda. But it's just temporary...right?
