Description:

(The Kindness of Oblivion - Dark Matter)
Alternate universe where the Curtis's are Socs
Was going to make this a single story but was too lazy to write the in-between moments, and it's easier to lay out a timeline in a series then it is in a chapter story so enjoy a bunch of short stories from this universe lol

Notes:

Alternate universe where the Curtis's were Socs, and after they died Darrel becomes the absent parent figure cause he's always out working and is abusive when he's home so Sodapop and Ponyboy run wild.
Darrel is grieving, still in college, and working two jobs to keep up appearances.
Darrel's best friend is Paul Holden
Sodapop is off with his friend Steve picking up girls and racing cars, he still goes to school but he also works just like Steve
Ponyboy goes back to hanging out with Curly, meets Dally through Tim
Two-Bit and Johnny are friends
Johnny hangs out with M&M,
Two-Bit's a solo Hood who sometimes does work with Shepard and Buck
Mark Jennings is trying to get into Shepard business, Bryon Douglas is just along for the ride
