Fandom: The Outsiders
Pairing: Ponyboy Curtis & Sodapop Curtis & Darry Curtis, implied Darry Curtis/Sodapop Curtis
Characters: Ponyboy Curtis, Sodapop Curtis, Darry Curtis
Rating: Teen
Tags: Post-Canon, Canon Compliant, Outsider POV, slice of life, implied incest, brothers as co-parents
Author’s Note: Thank you to Lin and purplesafetypin for looking this over. And another thanks to Lin for titling this for me, because I am a lost cause when it comes to titles.
And, as usual, thanks to my partner for editing this and making it far better than it otherwise would have been.
Summary:
There’s a tension in the air that suggests they were arguing, but now they’re so still and quiet that Pony isn’t certain. Both of Soda’s hands rest gently on Darry’s sides, his fingers slowly sliding up and down an inch or two. Ponyboy can’t remember his mom doing that to his dad, but there’s something about the gesture that reminds him of her.
Darry says, quietly. “I know. But I’m trying. I really am.”
“Well, if you know, then cut it out, okay? You’re being a pain in the neck.” Despite the words, Soda’s voice is just as soft as Darry’s.
『Or, Ponyboy is applying to universities and everyone feels anxious.』

Author’s Note: For my partner. May you have the happiest of birthdays this year, garnished with this bite-size incest offering.
The title references Proverbs 17:17.
Summary:
It hadn’t occurred to Soda that there was planning—costs—associated with burying their parents. Darry organized it all so seamlessly that all he and Pony had to do was bawl into each other’s shoulders, oblivious to everything Darry was doing for them.
Guilt twists in his gut, and he resolves to help Darry however he can.
『 Or, Soda does his best for his brothers. 』

Author’s Note: The title is adapted from a half-remembered line in Shannon Pufahl’s amazing On Swift Horses.
Summary:
“I got a better idea,” Dallas says. “Let’s get out of here, huh?”
“Where d’ya wanna go?”
“I dunno. Anywhere,” Dallas answers. He hasn’t thought that far, but the idea grips him now. Johnny’s parents don’t give a hang about him, and nothing is holding Dallas to Tulsa—not Sylvia, and not Buck either. “Pick a city. Any city.”
『 Or, after Dallas finds Johnny beat up again, he suggests they leave town together. 』

Summary:
You’ve allowed yourself to be delayed too long. It is so late that you will likely spend another night. It would not reflect well upon you if you so quickly became accustomed to this. It should not matter that Domon is healthy and hale or degrading once again, so long as he does the work he has promised to do. And yet, you accept when he invites you to sit with him in the evening and enjoy tea together once again. You do not understand yourself or why you’re doing any of this.
『Or, Anzai slowly falls in love with Domon after he loses his Vision.』

More than once over the years, she had told Gepard that Cocolia won the city in the divorce—except there was simply nowhere else for Serval to go. So she stayed.
