    Summary

    “Malfunctions.” Shadow Milk’s mismatched eyes held unease, mind whirling unpleasantly. “That’s–That’s what The Witches called these kinds of things, feelings, or whatever. Said they only got in the way and obstructed our purpose. That they were useless and had nothing to give.” He muttered under his breath.

    Hesitation rose beneath his dough and in his veins, making the discomfort, that had recently settled rent free in his chest, rear its ugly head. He opened his mouth, to deflect, to laugh it off, to change the subject, to reassure, he didn’t know. With how much of a whirlwind his mind was being, he couldn’t decide on a solid choice.

    “Do..Do you believe that?” Was the quiet question that filled the room from the healer. Shadow Milk didn’t know if he was relieved or not that he himself didn’t have to butt in.

    Still, a hard question. One he didn’t completely know the answer to.

    Or, Shadow Milk has really bad identity issues and Pure Vanilla tries to help him through it the best he can.

    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.
