If Johnny survived and Dally opened his heart. The afterglow is a strip of color that sometimes appears after a sunset. I like to think of this story as what could’ve happened after everything, like how you can possibly see an afterglow after a sunset. This story revolves around Dally and Cherry’s relationship.

"I couldn't even remember why we were rumbling... I didn't enjoy the act of pummeling other people, but I liked proving to the guys that I could hold my own in a fight, especially my brothers since they seemed determined to worry about me." It was supposed to be a fair fight and nobody was supposed to get seriously hurt, but things don't always go the way they're planned. Pre-Book.

SEQUEL to 'The Lead Up' Starting with the accident, what happened after and how the boys survived without their parents. Told from Darry's POV.

Sacred acts should be revered, for they possess a beauty that transcends all mortal comprehension. Incest. Implied sexual content. Aged-up characters. Allusions to religion.

If the Curtis brothers had a little sister who wanted to be treated like all the rest of the gang. They all loved her more than anything. But life did not always treat her well.

Alternate version of the book. When Ponyboy returns home from an uneventful walk to the park, all he wants is for Darry to leave him alone. When Darry does just that, Ponyboy is relieved. But what happens when Ponyboy starts to miss his oldest brother? Will Ponyboy and Darry make up or is it already too late? Curtis brother bonding. I hope you like it. Please review.

No matter how he broke it down Dallas couldn't fathom exactly why after all these years he should want to meet his biological father. His dad didn't seem to give a rip the last sixteen years, pretty sure now wasn't going to be much different. Yet here Dal was 300 miles into this road trip wondering why he was here and what his mother ever saw in this guy.

The Curtis parents died when their children were young and they end up being split up in the foster system. Now nearly ten years later, something brings them back together.

An AU where Soda and Darry chase after Ponyboy when he runs out the house. Johnny doesn't kill Bob, but Ponyboy suffers from a horrible fever afterwards. Luckily, he has two big brothers to look after him. (oneshot)

Pony Curtis was never meant to be touched. After all, the socs never went after the girl greasers. Right? (or How The Outsiders might've unfolded if Ponyboy was a girl instead.)

One-Shots from the Curtis brothers' childhood! Disclaimer: I do not own The Outsiders.

This version of Ponyboy's song to Darry (with Soda and others listening), depicts scenes I have imagined to accompany various parts of the song; you all are free to imagine distinct ones of your own if you wish

One day after his DX shift, Soda and Pony get jumped on their way home. The officers classist mindsets nearly lead to the death of Ponyboy and Darry has quite the bone to pick with them.

A collection of shorts with different themes and pairings that may or may not become full-length stories of their own. Features: incest, sexual assault, master/pet themes, Omegaverse, Cat!Ponyboy, and more. Will be updated sporadically.

As Steve anticipates the upcoming anniversary of his most pivotal moments, he finds himself exploring the circumstances that contributed to his decisions. At the same time, he also takes a step further in exposing his childhood trauma for the horror it was, which leads to deeper spiritual questions that bring a concept he's never considered to the forefront.

When a serial killer comes to Tulsa with a reputation of killing and torturing teenagers, Darry's not taking any chances at keeping his family safe. But when Ponyboy and Johnny are kidnapped, it's a race against time for the rest of the 'gang' to find them before it's too late. (Johnny and Dally are alive)

One eight letter word changes their lives forever. Leukemia. Pony struggles to beat the disease. But through the struggle, he finds new friends, repairs old relationships, and learns what it really means to live. The bond between the gang is stronger than ever as they realize just how much they've taken for granted. Johnny and Dally are alive!

"You're really growin' up now, huh, honey?" Sodapop asks softly, cupping Ponyboy's face and tilting it so their eyes meet. "University and everythin!" - It was everything Ponyboy wanted, and yet it wasn't right when for the first time, he found himself detrimentally alone.

Welcome to my one-shot series! The whole gang will be mentioned throughout these stories, but we're focusing on the relationship between Darry and his girlfriend because Darry is underrated and I think he deserves someone special. All sorts of themes and genres will be in these stories as well, not just pure fluff.

The days leading up to the accident that changed everything for the Curtis family. Mostly family fluff but an insight into how the Curtis family was before they lost their parents. Takes place only a few weeks prior.
