Summary
Because Master Crepus died on Dliuc’s eighteenth birthday, and there had never been a more perfect opportunity.
Kaeya knew his big brother like he knew the back of his hand.
Kaeya has an intimate relationship with conflict; it lives deep in his bones, thick in his blood, forever present and impossible to forget. In the weeks following Diluc's eighteenth birthday, it dissolves into something far more oppressive: regret.

Soda and the Soc by Cetigapolo
Fandoms: The Outsiders - S. E. Hinton, The Outsiders (1983), The Outsiders: The Musical - Jamestown Revival & Levine/Rapp
24 Jul 2025
Tags
Summary
Story starts out mostly focused on Soda putting on a good face while having Issues. However, this story has evolved into focusing on all the Curtis gang with friendships, trauma healing, and (for some of them at least) romance. It was Soda's fic at first, and now I am just stubbornly refusing to think of a better title. I ACCEPT SUGGESTIONS/PROMPTS if you have an idea and I can figure out how to write it in, the story is not preplanned.
This fic is heavily focused on all of them healing from the grief/trauma they went through in the book as well as some canon and some "canon-complaint" trauma and hardship. No archive warnings but there are a LOT of mature themes including abuse, assault, mental health/suicide, as well as generally trying to be realistic about sexuality without being too graphic.

And he always got what he wanted.

Summary
Long after the journey ends, love remains.
In the stillness of her apprentice’s cottage, among forgotten pages and unopened letters, Frieren begins to write. What starts as a personal act of mourning becomes something more: a record of love, loss, and the quiet magic of lives shared across time.
Bound Memories: Footnotes of Forever is a meditation on legacy and how we carry those we’ve loved. There’s no right or wrong way to grieve, no single answer to loss. Every passing leaves a different mark. Frieren discovers that to go on after others is not simply to endure, but to live in a way that keeps their light alive.
