    Summary

    “I don’t mean for this to sound harsh.” Darrel said, turning back to look at Ponyboy from the doorway. “But this won’t be your permanent home. It's nothing personal. We just can't afford another mouth to feed long term.”

    Pony nodded. That made sense. Why would anyone want to keep him for longer than they absolutely had to?

    -----

    or: the AU where foster kid Ponyboy is placed to temporarily live with Darry and Soda. But it's just temporary...right?

    Summary

    Two-bit was not meant to take care of people. 

    Sure, he was the second oldest in the gang, but Darry always took care of everyone. And sure, he had a kid sister, but his mom was always around to help. 

    It’s not that he didn’t care for his friends and family, he just wasn't really needed. He was the wisecracker of the group, the one who made people laugh and smile, the one who always had something to say.

    But seeing the youngest of the gang get knocked to the ground and not get up sparked something inside of him. 

    OR

    Ponyboy whump- Pony gets hurt and Two-bit is a good friend.

    Summary

    “They’re… chaos,” Remus said firmly. “And chaos is—”
    “Rock and roll.”
    He looked at Sirius sharply, and for once, matched his grin. “Yeah.”
    “Maybe that’s my excuse then,” Sirius said. “I cause a bit of chaos now, and maybe one day, it’ll turn into rock and roll.”

    After losing his mother at age eleven, Remus has spent the better part of the last four years bouncing from school to school or else running around London and pretending as though he wasn't the kind of well-bred boy his father brought him up to be. Now, with his chances all run out, Remus is sent to Hawkings Independent School as a last-ditch effort to clean up his act. There he meets the very people who will set up the rest of his life, and is forced to confront the pieces of himself he'd long thought had been lost.

    (genuinely not apologising for the slow-burn in this fic anymore. You've been warned <3)

    Summary

    Suddenly, Pony was sick all over the bed, coughing and gagging as the contents of his stomach emptied. Though he didn’t understand how there was even anything left to be emptied, considering he’d hardly eaten today.

    Once Pony finished, he sagged back against his brother, who held onto him tightly. “S-Soda. Soda, I don’t feel good.”

    Soda kissed the top of his brother’s head. “I know, baby, I know. It’s gonna be–” He stopped short, only now getting a good look at the sick on Pony’s bed. It was unlike anything Soda had ever seen. It was dark brown, and it almost looked like…coffee grounds? Soda knew for certain this wasn’t normal. Something was very, terribly wrong with his brother.

    Or:

    Ponyboy is worried about a test on Friday and Darry promises to help his little brother study. But it turns out he's more worried than anyone knew, worried enough to make himself severely sick. Darry's out with his friends when he finds out Pony is in the hospital, instead of at home - where they were supposed to be studying together.
