Summary
Five years after Johnny Cade and Dallas Winston kick the bucket, the Curtis gang has recovered about as well as they're ever going to. Two-Bit's got a steady job, while Steve and Sodapop are expanding the DX's services to cover more car repairs and less working the gas pumps. Darry's got a new gig at an assembly line that brings in more money than roofing and the factory combined.
Above all else, Ponyboy Curtis has both a full-ride scholarship and an Order for Induction from the U.S. Military.
(or: how Ponyboy gets drafted, doesn't tell his brothers, and earns a punishment he never really deserved. He never believed life was all-too fair, anyway.)

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.

Summary

or
Ponyboy's lifelong love of literature captured in six stories he reads aloud (and one he doesn't).

Summary
"Soda's chest tightened painfully and he doubled over as the weight of it all settled squarely on his shoulders. If he didn't act soon, very soon, the pole would give way entirely, and Pony and Darry would both be flattened under the full weight of the semi. He would lose them both. He had to choose.
He had to choose.
How could he ever choose?"

Summary
Darry never means to call Ponyboy his kid—not out loud, not where anyone could hear, least of all Ponyboy. But the word keeps slipping out anyway: in grocery store aisles, late-night emergencies, quiet moments when he isn't careful enough to guard what he feels. Pony hears every one of them. And eventually, Darry says it on purpose.
—
He stopped too late. The word was already in the air between them.
Pony’s breath caught.
“You… you said it again,” he whispered.
Darry’s hands froze where they rested on Pony’s shoulders.
“Did I?” he said, even though he knew damn well he had.
“Yeah.” Pony looked at him carefully, like the wrong answer might shatter what little ground he’d found here. “You called me your kid.”

Summary
“Help!” He cried. “My brother needs help!” In seconds a group of nurses surrounded him.
“What happened?” One of the nurses asked. Another came up next to him, reaching out and attempting to take Ponyboy out of Soda’s arms. A panic bubbled up inside of him as he tightened his grip on his little brother.
“No!” he cried protectively.
“Sir, we have to take him,” another woman said.
“Soda, let the nurse help,” came Steve’s voice. Soda felt like a live wire; like a trapped, wounded animal trying to protect its child. His body felt distant from him as the nurses finally took Pony away, and Soda pretended not to notice how Pony’s pale arm hung limply at his side. Steve guided him gently to the waiting room, where Soda sank to the floor in a haze.
Pony’s blood was all over him.

Summary
Titled for Soda because story was not preplanned, but entire gang is featured. Focus is on friendships, trauma healing, (found) family, and romance for some. Canon-complaint. Adult themes are present including abuse, assault, mental health/suicide, references to sexuality.
IF YOU LIKE SHORTER FICS, the series that this story is attached to contains alternate versions of many of the storylines here with canon characters only, and I have a Tumblr with a ton of short Outsiders fics: https://www.tumblr.com/cetigapoloSeries
