    Summary

    Ponyboy knows it's wrong to want to be dead. And it's not like he's going to do anything about it- it's just a thought. An extremely enticing thought.

    Or,

    Even after everything goes back to normal Ponyboy just can't seem to get his head right. He just needs a distraction. So he starts to sneak out with Curly Shepard, smoke more than he should, and even do some things he knows could be seen as suicidal. But once everyone, (even Curly), starts to worry about his mental state it makes him wonder if his problems are bigger than he thought. Can he be saved from everything- including himself?

    Summary

    Darry and Soda never expected to be practically coparenting an 18-month-old baby brother, Ponyboy, but so is their life in Tulsa, 1987, since their parents died in a car wreck eight months ago.

    But their lives start to crumble when an accident causes Ponyboy to fall into the abandoned 8-inch water well in their backyard, becoming trapped and unreachable 19 feet down.

    With their closest friends by their side, media swarming, and rescue personnel trying to work out how to reach their baby, will this scare of their lives draw the Curtises closer together or just become another funeral for them to plan?

     

    (Based on the 1987 rescue of Jessica McClure.)

    Summary

    "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. Johnny and Dally are alive.

    Summary

    Ponyboy Curtis has been counting down the days. The days until he finally meets his demise, at his own hands, as it always should have been. He's been mapping it out for awhile now: made sure nobody suspects a thing so he can run off and it will all be okay.

    He swears on everyone he has ever loved that it will work this time. It has to.

    Or;
    Ponyboy Curtis has been treated like he's fragile since he'd tried to take his life a year after the Windrixville incident. Now that he's 16, he's going to repeat it all again.
