Summary
Darry was going to be sick.
The grief kept climbing up his throat, curling deep inside his gut- salt in the wound. It had been half a year, and he still hadn’t cried.
He couldn’t, anyway. He didn’t have the time.
or,,, Darry has not thought about himself in ages. People are starting to notice.

Summary
When he was a child, death fascinated him. It was terrifying, and mysterious, and uncharted, and beautiful. The cowboys riding off into the sunset, the soldiers riding into battle. It filled every inch of the stories he was told. Fairy tales, myths, cowboy ballads-- his father sang him Streets of Laredo as a lullaby every night until he was six. He only stopped because it always made Soda too sad.
He had spent lots of time thinking about death-- anytime he’d look at the stars, it wouldn’t be long until he found himself wondering and yearning for something he couldn’t place. What was beyond them, if anything? What were they made of? Where did they go in the daylight?

Summary
Title is lyrics from Nettle by Ethel Cain
KitKat Curtis has always been close to her brothers and their friends. As the older twin between her and Pony, Kit has been the quiet glue that helped hold her family together after so many tragedies. Her family finds out just how much they need her when she's taken out of their home. After Ponyboy is accused of murder and runs away, Social Services deems their home an unsafe environment for a fourteen year old girl. Despite Darry's promise to get her home as soon as possible, it takes 6 months to get her home. A mismanaged case causes Kit to be thrown into her worst nightmare. By the time she gets home, it's hard to say how much of her truly returned.
This story is an exploration of grief, trauma, and healing, while trying to navigate difficult sibling relationships. AU in the respect that Dally and Johnny survive! Please read the tags and the notes at the beginning of each chapter for trigger warnings.

Summary
“Alright, kiddo,” Laura said, "just… do your best here, alright? I think this placement… it could be good for you.”
“It’s an emergency placement,” Ponyboy pointed out, barely holding himself back from rolling his eyes.
“Yes - well, even so,” Laura continued. “Listen - call me if you do have any trouble, okay? I mean it, kiddo. Just… I’m in your corner, remember?”
Ponyboy just shrugged, finding it hard to believe after all these many years of Laura complaining about his short-lived placements. If anything, it worried him more that he was being given this reminder - she didn’t normally tell him to call her if anything was the matter. Did she know something about the Curtis brothers that Pony ought to be privy to? Or had she also made the connection between Darrel’s imposing stature and Pony’s track record with attracting less-than-friendly placements?

or: Modern AU in which Ponyboy is a foster kid who gets placed to live with Darry and Soda
