    Summary

    Almost ten years ago, the Curtis family's world falls apart when four year old Ponyboy is taken from the park nearby. Darry and Soda are left reeling when their parents are killed in an accident two weeks before the ninth anniversary of their brother's disappearance. In order for Darry to keep custody of Soda, he has to agree to be a temporary foster care parent. With an overcrowded system, he knows this is the State's way of creating more houses, and Darry knows he'll do whatever he can to keep his brother.

    However, when Peter James, a thirteen year old who demands to be called "Pony", gets put in his care, Darry can't help but think he's getting more than he bargained for. It's impossible for him not to notice the similarities, and Darry and Soda both find themselves putting all the missing pieces together so that they might reunite with their baby brother, and bring him home for good.

     

    aka an AU where Ponyboy finds his way back to his brothers in an unconventional way, proving that he's their baby brother in every universe, and they'll always find a way to take care of him.

    The title of course comes from Phil Collins

    Summary

    When Steve turns eighteen all he can think about is finally getting out of the house he shares with his father. It hasn't been a home since his mother left, and he's been counting down the days until he could leave it. When he brings up the idea of getting a place with Sodapop, he's reminded that Soda can't just up and leave his brother's, especially while Pony is still a minor, and Darry still needs help with the bills.

    He resolves to lets it go. It was a good dream, but a dream nonetheless.

    What Steve doesn't expect is for Ponyboy to have a solution to his problems. Maybe the kid really was a genius.

    AKA Steve wants to get a place with Soda, and ends up moving in with the Curtis brother's instead.

    Summary

    “Mr. Cur- Darry. I’m sorry.” The nameless officer sat down on the couch next to him, a hand raised as if he was unsure of whether or not putting it on Darry’s shoulder was the right thing to do. It didn’t matter to him. He didn’t think he would feel it either way. “They stalled out on the tracks. Half of the car was crushed instantly, they wouldn’t have– I don’t think they even felt a thing.”

    “Half the car,” Darry muttered, scrubbing his hands across his face as he raised his eyes again. “Half. My parents, gone. I heard that. I heard you… Half. Officer, my brother. I want you to tell me if my brother made it out the fucking car.”
    -

    On the night of Darry's 20th birthday, his parents are killed in a tragic accident. But before he can let himself grieve them, he still has to bring his youngest brother home, dead or alive.

    Summary

    What will you do, after me? Túrin once asked, unspooling the measure of Beleg’s life. It stretched beyond him in either direction, starlit at both ends; his own mortal death would be ballad-worthy, so Túrin imagined.

    Or: Túrin outlives Beleg. Drabble.
