Summary
Ponyboy Curtis is not doing well.
He’s has always been quiet, but ever since it happened, he’s withdrawn even more. His brothers are doing their best, but sometimes it feels like they’re watching him slip away. With college on the horizon and the weight of unspoken fears hanging between them, Ponyboy struggles to hold on to the pieces of his life. His friends are there, trying to help, but healing isn't something Ponyboy knows how to do.
But he’s gonna try his damn hardest to figure it out.
Or, In the summer before senior year, Ponyboy tried to kill himself. Now, it’s a year later—the summer before his freshman year in college and things need to change before he leaves. It doesn’t help that Randy is out for Johnny and Ponyboy even years after Bobs death. The only question is, can he get better? And does he want to?

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.

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 couldn't even remember why we were rumbling... I didn't enjoy the act of pummeling other people, but I liked proving to the guys that I could hold my own in a fight, especially my brothers since they seemed determined to worry about me."
It was supposed to be a fair fight and nobody was supposed to get seriously hurt, but things don't always go the way they're planned. Pre-Book. Johnny and Dally are alive.

Summary
“Alright, kiddo,” Laura said, "just… do your best here, alright? I think this placement… it could be good for you.”
“It’s an emergency placement,” Ponyboy pointed out, barely holding himself back from rolling his eyes.
“Yes - well, even so,” Laura continued. “Listen - call me if you do have any trouble, okay? I mean it, kiddo. Just… I’m in your corner, remember?”
Ponyboy just shrugged, finding it hard to believe after all these many years of Laura complaining about his short-lived placements. If anything, it worried him more that he was being given this reminder - she didn’t normally tell him to call her if anything was the matter. Did she know something about the Curtis brothers that Pony ought to be privy to? Or had she also made the connection between Darrel’s imposing stature and Pony’s track record with attracting less-than-friendly placements?

Fire wasn’t so good for me anymore. It gave me these fits where the world got real loud and I got real small and my lungs forgot how to work. It was only sometimes though, and I could snap myself out of it quick enough.

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?

Summary
Dallas hadn’t spoken to his kid brother in six years. Not since he’d left New York.
If he was honest, he hadn’t really even thought about the kid. At first, it had just been too painful. But it got easier. And the farther and farther South he found himself the easier it had become to forget about Ponyboy Winston.
---
Or the AU where Ponyboy Winston is sent down to Tulsa to live with his brother Dallas. But it would only be for five months. Because Ponyboy would never forgive his brother for leaving. He and Dallas would never get along...right?

Darry Has A Girlfriend: One-Shot Series by DramaQueen_7

16 Feb 2025

Summary
Welcome to my one-shot series! The whole gang will be mentioned throughout these stories, but we're focusing on the relationship between Darry and his girlfriend because Darry is underrated and I think he deserves someone special. Also, it's a little different from my usual writing and I wanted to test the waters a bit.
All sorts of themes and genres will be in these stories as well, not just pure fluff. Some chapters will be pre-book, some post-book, and some will utilize a different ending than the book.
Feedback is welcome!

Summary
"Darry, baby cryin'," Soda says, his own bottom lip trembling. Although he can't say his R's real well yet, so both Darry's name and the word crying sound like they're spelled with W's.
"I know, Soda," Darry says. "It's cause he's not supposa'be napping right now." He scowls. Vicky always does this, puts them down for a nap when she doesn't want to deal with them even if it's not nap time. Darry's old enough this go around that she couldn't really make him, but his little brothers she placed right into their beds and left them there to sleep, tired or not, almost as soon as their parents walked out the door.
–––
Darry has to take care of his baby brothers when their horrible Soc babysitter refuses to. Problem is, he's only a kid himself.
