Title: the things that might have healed me

Fandom: The Outsiders

Pairing: Dallas/Ponyboy

Rating: Gen

Warning: None

Tags: Canon Compliant, Slice of Life, Missing Scenes

Author’s Note: This is a companion series to “ashes and dust.” Like “ashes and dust,” this work will be a series of nonchronological, short ficlets. Each chapter is meant to be read as a separate, complete story. However, these will be overtly shippy.

The title references "Dust and Ashes."

And, as usual, thanks to my partner for editing this and making it far better than it otherwise would have been.

Summary:

Romance happens in Tulsa, Oklahoma, too.

Summary:

A cloud of dust comes down on Darry when he pulls the cord that lowers the ladder to the attic crawl space. He spends the next few minutes blindly hanging onto a rung as he coughs until his lungs rattle and blinks the grime out of his watering eyes.

“Jesus H. Christ,” he hisses, even though there’s no one in the house to hear his complaint.

『Or, Darry goes through some old boxes.』

Dear creator,

First things first: thank you for creating (or considering creating) for me! I hope you have fun.

I've included some thoughts and prompts for canons, characters, ships, and tropes—but please don’t feel bound to those ideas. Please think of any prompt as a possible starting point and entirely optional. Also, please don’t think that any pairing/character having more bullet points means I want it more than others—I want everything I request! In general, I will enjoy any gift (so long as it doesn’t include things on my Do Not Want list), so please do not stress.

Some other points that might be helpful:

• Art, fic, or podfic? I love them all.
• Happy or unhappy endings? I love both.
• Smut or not? Surprise, surprise—I love both.
• Treats? Yes, please!

Also, I apologize if some parts of the letter are repetitive. I tried to write it so that anyone can jump to a relevant section(s) and get all the necessary information!

Thank you again—and happy creating!

Title: park, reverse, neutral, drive

Fandom: The Outsiders

Pairing: Dallas Winston/Ponyboy Curtis, background Bryon/Mark

Characters: Ponyboy Curtis, Dallas Winston, Bryon Douglas, Mark Jennings, Original Female Characters

Rating: Teen

Warning: None

Tags: Post-Canon, Everyone Lives AU, (Accidental) First Date, First Kiss, Canon-Typical Behavior

Series: Date Night Trilogy

Author’s Note: I am creating a series for this for anyone who wants to subscribe. I have two possible future parts planned to continue Dallas and Ponyboy’s relationship (but it may take me a while to get to them).

Summary:

“I’m thinkin’ about your problem,” Dallas begins.

“It’s not a problem.”

“You came to the right man,” Dallas continues, ignoring Ponyboy’s objection. He flips up the collar of his jacket like he’s making a point. Almost all greasers wear their collars like that sometimes, but a lot of guys who do it look like they’re trying too hard; Dallas always makes it look tuff. “I know just how to help.”

『Or, Dallas intends to teach Ponyboy the art of picking up girls—but nothing goes as planned.』
