Is four years really long enough to forget a best friend? It's the anniversary of Johnny's death and Ponyboy does what he always does on this one day of the year; visit his friend's grave to watch the sunset. Only this day ends a lot differently from previous years, changing the whole course of his life in a rather dramatic way.

The rumble is over. Johnny is dead, his brothers are worried, and the phone is ringing. But what would Ponyboy do to take it all back?

Darry was already having a very, very bad year before his brother got the brilliant idea to drop out of school.

Steve is sleep deprived gets hurt in a fight with his dad. He's been having a rough time with Dally but seeks his help anyway. Fluffy. Shippy.

Soda thinks he should have realized it sooner.

During the holidays, the greasers know that spending time with family is what is most important. This is a look back at some of the most memorable moments from Christmases that the gang had.

It took you a while, but you figured out the rest of them, your friends and your brothers. But what about you? What do you fear, Sodapop Curtis?

Of all their years as Darry's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Curtis can't recall one major disciplinary problem. That is, of course, not counting the time he hit one of Sodapop's teachers. One-shot, pre-book

Don't talk about reformatory. Don't ask me about what happened. I will never tell anyone about the bad stuff, but the good stuff... that's what really shuts me up.

Alternative ending for the Outsiders. What if the book wasn't just his theme? What if it was Ponyboy's suicide note? I wrote this for school and decided to post it here. Rated a high T. Dark, heavy themes and subjects. Warnings: Semi-graphic suicide

What if the church fire happened when Johnny was gone to get supplies?

Sections of the Outsiders in Darry's view.

'You knew what they saw. Wide eyes, tense expression, few words. You were the kid without a home, the puppy who needed rescuing, the frightened deer in the proverbial headlights.' One Shot.

How could anyone stand being this empty? When Dally loses the only person he's ever loved, he's prepared to end his life. On that night, he makes three small mistakes that completely disrupt his plans.

This is my take at what is war for Sodapop Curtis, from the day he gets drafted to the day he gets home. Song-fic based on Hero of War, by Rise Against.

"I-I'll do it, just don't hurt him...please..." "Soda," he whimpered, his cheek pressed against the counter with the barrel of a gun dangerously pressed on the side of his head.
