    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

    Darry found himself doing something for Paul that he didn't want to do, once again. Parties weren't his thing, but if it made Paul happy, who was he to say no? He'd never been the type to say no to him, and well, that would begin to pose a problem.

    Or

    Paul invites Darry to a soc party, and the night takes a turn for the worst. Paul's true colors show, and Darry is on the brink of breaking down.

    Summary

    'He would become more than the grease in his hair and the bruises he carried around his heart. He wanted to make his parents proud, wanted to show his brothers they could do anything with their lives, wanted to make the Curtis name into something to be proud of and not wear like a burden that had been thrusted upon their shoulders since birth.'

    Or-

    Darry is going through it, reminiscing on all that he had lost and all that he had gained.

    Summary

    It wasn't even that high up.
    The thought surfaced from the murky depths of Darry Curtis’ mind as he slowly blinked his eyes open, warm dirt pressing hard into the back of his skull. Getting one arm braced against the dry grass, he started to push himself up and immediately had to stop when the world spun around him and his vision blurred, almost sending him back to a prone position. His stomach gave a sickening lurch; whether it was from nausea or anxiety, he wasn't sure. He did, however, recognize what he was feeling from his days playing high school football.
    Yes, Darry was almost certain that he was concussed.

    Summary

    Pony looked down at the shaving kit waiting on the counter in front of him. As he ran a finger over his dad’s initials, he felt a little thrill — he was dancing on the razor’s edge between boyhood and manhood, about to take the leap into this next phase of life. The thought excited and terrified him in equal measure.

    Darry teaches Ponyboy how to shave.
