His heart had found its place again by Kammly

Summary
Darry’s shoulders were stone after long shifts, tension carved into every line of his body. Nothing ever seemed to reach him—except Ponyboy.
Soft footsteps in the kitchen. Ink-stained fingers trailing idle patterns against the table. A gentle hand against a storm of anger. Words as quiet as a prayer.
Ponyboy, in his small, unassuming way, always brought Darry back from the edge. Always.
Because sometimes, the strongest person in the room is the one who doesn’t fight—just stays.
Aka: There’s not enough Darry and Ponyboy content. And they deserve the world.

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.

Summary
Dallas had known he was gay for long time.
He hadn't expected to enjoy being with men as much as he had. It was exhilarating, feeling rough hands on his body and chapped lips on his, but God did it feel right.
Although, out of all the men that Dallas had slept with, he hadn't expected Darrel Curtis to be one of them.

Summary
Sodapop wakes up angry.
Not angry at anyone, not even at anything—just that heavy kind of angry that sticks in your chest for no reason. The kind that makes the air feel wrong.
But there’s Ponyboy, warm and asleep, breathing easy like the world has never touched him. And somehow, just by being there, Pony makes the storm inside Soda go quiet.

Summary
It used to be the five of them, crammed into the old station wagon with tents, sleeping bags, and a cooler full of sandwiches. And to Darry’s point, it was tradition. Somewhere, he knew that going camping with his brothers was going to bring him closer to mom and dad.
This was supposed to be the first good thing since Mom and Dad died.
Unfortunately, things do not go according to plan and the Curtis bros are forced to make last minute adjustments to their traditions.Sicktember 2025 Prompts:

Summary
That night at dinner, he sees Soda and Darry watching him closely, like how you’d watch a glass you knocked over, teetering on the edge of a table. As if Ponyboy is going to shatter now that he can’t scribble out his pain onto every piece of paper in the house.
But he doesn’t shatter. For the first time in a long while, he feels… maybe not good, but okay. Like maybe, someday down the road, he could feel good again.

or, Ponyboy writes his theme, Darry reads it.

Summary
“I can’t even buy bread ‘cuz my check’s not comin’ in. What kind of brother am I?”
“A damn good one.” Soda affirms, voice unwavering, “One who kept us all together, who left everything behind for us. Who breaks his back to put a roof over our heads and food on the table.”
Darry and Pony have always loved each other - they just show it in ways that don't make a lot of sense to people. And in the aftermath of the fire, Pony starts to understand Darry's hiding a lot more than he says and Darry learns that love doesn't have to be so complicated.

Summary
Darry’s eyes fly open just as his baby brother collapses, and all of a sudden, he’s running in slow-motion, trying in vain to close the distance between him and Ponyboy before the kid hits the concrete. Two-Bit makes it there first, catches him before he can get banged up any worse, and by the time Darry’s beside them, Two’s got Pony close to his chest, cradling his head in his arms.
“He’s sick,” Two-Bit’s saying when Darry and Soda kneel down next to them. “Shit, he was—he was running a fever before the rumble but he made me swear I wouldn’t tell ya, so I—”
“Ponyboy,” says Soda, reaching out to shake his brother’s shoulder. “Pony, honey, wake up.” Darry puts a palm to Pony’s forehead and finds that Two’s right; the kid’s burning with fever.

Summary
“Then what was that about Texas?”
“Don’t know where the fuzz got a crazy idea like that,” Dallas says, shrugging again. There’s far too much amusement in his eyes. “Like I said before, I don’t know anything about it—but I bet those kids are fine. Safe, you get me?”
As frustrating as it is, Darrel knows he’s lucky to even get that much out of Dallas. Usually, Dallas’ ability to keep his trap shut is a good thing—but today it’s all Darrel can do not to punch him square in the jaw.
Or, Dallas gives Darrel a blowjob rather than admit he helped Ponyboy and Johnny flee town.
