    Summary

    Darry is sixteen years old and has been breathing hospital air for three days.

    Three days since the world rearranged itself into before and after. Three days since he learned that love could arrive weighing almost nothing—and that his hands, which have hauled shingles and thrown footballs and held together three people's worth of falling apart, might not know how to hold something this small.

    Sodapop has not stopped moving.
    The baby has not stopped breathing.
    And Darry, who has not cried, sits very still on the patched couch and learns that some facts arrive already irrevocable: the morning, the floor beneath his feet, and the five fingers no bigger than grains of rice that have decided his thumb is worth holding.

    (Or: The night the Curtis brothers became three.)

    Summary

    One-shot

    A month after everything changes, Ponyboy collapses on the way home. What follows is a fever, a strange dream, and two older brothers trying their best.

    OR

    When Ponyboy passes out on the side of the road during a walk home from practice, nobody knows why. Not Chad, who ends up carrying him home. Not Steve, who gets the frantic phone call. And certainly not Darry, who suddenly finds himself responsible for a feverish little brother calling out for things he can't have back.

    Summary

    "He was cold, wherever he was seemed dank and icy, like a dungeon. And his head was throbbing. He brought a hand to his head and felt a large, sticky lump, he hissed as he pressed on the tender spot. His leg was bothering him too. He let his hands drift to his ankle, where the skin was feeling especially irritated. Horror settled in his stomach as he realized two things. First, his socks and shoes were gone, his feet bare and cold. Second, a cold, metal chain was wrapped around his left ankle, biting into his skin and binding him to something in the inky darkness."

     

    The gang is getting used to life without Johnny and Dallas, though the ache of missing them is still fresh. Just when they think things are settling down, a plan for revenge shakes up their lives once again. When one of their own goes missing, they'll do whatever it takes to save their missing brother.

    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

    Ponyboy is not an idiot.

    He knows he is disabled. He knows he can’t do everything everyone else can. Contrary to the belief of Darry, Soda, and the rest of the gang, he does actually care about his body. Pushing it sometimes doesn’t make him ‘irresponsible’ or whatever Darry said last time he was scolding him, it just makes him a little stubborn. And there’s nothing wrong with that.

    Despite all of this, Pony doesn’t want everyone to know that his leg is acting up again. It’s fine. He doesn't need to take a break from track or sit down for every single task. He just needs to walk it off.

    What the gang doesn’t know won’t hurt them.

     

    Or,

    After a run-in with a group of Socs, Ponyboy finds his disability to be flared up. He limps everywhere he goes and takes way too much pain relieving medication. However, he still tries to hide the injury from the rest of the gang. He doesn’t want to worry them like he always does.

    But even he knows that they’ll find out eventually, even if it’s in the worst way possible.

    Summary

    ‘And Pony was pretty sure that the smile on Darry’s face could rival the brightness of the sun. The kind of smile that made the corner of his eyes crinkle from happiness, not from nights of worry spent pouring over bills, trying to figure out how he would be able to put food on the table for his boys.’

    Or

    Moments between the Curtis brothers, the heartbreak and love that it takes to find their way to one another.

    Summary

    There’s some huff of air and Darry grumbles loudly ‘cause he was trying to keep his voice down — the house ain’t that big, and Ponyboy doesn’t need to hear all this. He slams the phone back down onto the receiver with a loud clatter of plastic and metal as he mutters something about, “bullshit doctors, God, bet he ain’t even got no real degree, just a bunch’a nothin’,” before slumping against the counter again, chest heaving in eventual silence.

    His mind is not empty, no; far from it. Although the pressure feels faint and distant now, it is swimming and writhing with all the same whirlwinds of knowledge as it was before, when he was confined to stare ad infinitum at that stupid, stupid computer.

    It feels.

    Kinda good.

    Or, Derek survives. Except now he's blind and the King lives on in his mind. Neither of them are happy about this.

    Summary

    Tommy watched in growing apprehension as his handler left the room. The other three aliens all moved to the side to seemingly watch.

    “What’s going on?” Tommy asked. “What do you want with me?”

    None of them replied, but they did look enraptured with him. Like he was some kind of exotic animal in the zoo. He curled into the blanket as much as he could, wishing he could sink through the floor.

    What were they even staring at?

    Bunch of creeps.
    -------------------------------------------------

    Tommy thought getting abducted by aliens meant he'd be tied to a slab and dissected. That... didn't happen. Instead, they coo, stare, and pamper him like a treasured pet. If only he could get them to see he was sentient. Easy, right?
