Summary
Ponyboy Curtis thought he had his life figured out: the gang, the rules, the way things were always gonna be. But when Curly Shepard shows back up Pony starts drifting further from the only world he’s ever known, and he realizes maybe there’s more out there for him, more to himself too. New friends, new choices, and maybe even something more with the last person he ever expected. Kind of a coming-of-age story about learning you can have two places to call home: the family you’ll always belong to, and the one you choose for yourself.
Or: new friends, new trouble, and growing pains you can’t fight your way out of.

The quiet kind of bleeding by Kammly

Summary
Care doesn't always come in loud.
Negligence doesn't either.
Sometimes it comes quietly—like being taken for granted.
Ponyboy has always been the soft hands holding cracked hearts, the quiet warmth in a world too cold, too sharp. He offered his love in wildflowers and gentle smiles. The gang gave him back thorns—too busy, too blind, too wrapped up in their own pain to notice the bruises blooming beneath his kindness.
A series of angsty one-shots, two-shots, and vignettes in which the youngest Curtis bleeds softly, learns to flinch quieter, and—maybe—makes the gang realize too late what they had in him.

Summary
On the list of people to babysit, Steve ranked right above deadlast. That spot was typically reserved for Dally, because despite how good he typically was with the youngest Curtis, he wasn’t responsible enough to handle babysitting duties. Steve was a close second at the bottom of the line up though, because while he was responsible enough, he didn’t really have the patience to handle watching a child, especially one as inquisitive and curious as Ponyboy Curtis.
aka Steve winds up babysitting a five year old Ponyboy, and things are going well until they aren't. A run in with the socs in the park causes him to reevaluate his relationship with the youngest member of their gang.
part of my "to build a home" series, featuring a much younger Ponyboy.

Summary
Ponyboy was still so young—just fourteen, still soft around the edges, and too full of love for a world that hadn’t been gentle with him. Orphaned and aching, he clung to his older brothers with all he had. He gave freely. Unconditionally.
Darry and Sodapop loved him back—deeply, fiercely, in the only ways they knew how. But they forgot something vital:
Homes aren't only broken fists, blood, or broken bones.
Sometimes, a home loses its meaning in the quiet—
when the silences stretch too long, when the affection becomes rare, rushed, or reluctant, when shame replaces tenderness, and when presence becomes performance.This series is full of tenderness, aching warmth, and quiet heartbreak—each part a soft unraveling of how neglect doesn’t always shout… sometimes, it just forgets to hold on.

Summary
A sharp, shark-like smile spreads across Dally’s face and Johnny’s heart goes from hammering to thundering, echoing in his ears. Johnny knows that Dallas ain’t gonna do nothing horrible, he likes to rile him up, tease him, sure, but the older teen tries to dial it back when it’s just them. He’s good like that, watches out for Johnny and he sure does appreciate it. Because Dallas Winston is at the top of the food chain; strong, hard-hitting, and, most importantly, smart. Not always rational, but smart, he puts things together quick and is even faster with a punch.
But even with that rationale, his nerves aren’t soothed. They’re never soothed, and Dally has made him nervous for a whole host of different reasons for a long time now.

Summary
Ponyboy Curtis was going to be an alpha. A real tuff one, too. His brothers were alphas, all his friends were alphas, so he’d be one too. He was gonna be an alpha, he was gonna go to college and he was going to get out of Tulsa like he’d always wanted. The only issue with his dream was… He wasn’t going to be doing any of it.
Or, Ponyboy Curtis presents as an omega and has his life flipped upside down. Eventual Dallyboy.
