Steve and Dally should not be as rare of a ship as they are, so I'm going to singlehandedly fix that.

Summary
"Most people would have had to give themselves a pep-talk, most people would have been nervous or unsure of the whole thing, Maverick Mitchell was not most people. He was a fucking power bottom and proud of it. This was not his first rodeo, pun intended. And he always got his man."
Once Maverick hears the story behind Slider's callsign, it sounds more like a challenge than anything else.

Summary
“The submarine is pried open like a tin can, leaving him only able to watch in horror as the metal gives, and he knows with startling clarity that this isn’t anything the Blood Ocean could’ve cooked up. In fact it could be far worse.
He doubts the C.O.I would expend themselves rescuing him, and if they were to they may just throw him back at seeing him. He has no choice but to sit, eyes tightly closed like a child hiding to avoid punishment, though he never was good at that on Eden.”
~~~
The process of healing is never linear, and Simon’s even less so. But with Grace's gentleness he finds himself wanting to trust again, to recover in ways he thought he’d never deserve.
AKA. Soft Little Simon and endlessly comforting Caregiver Grace for the soul.

Summary
" Mav furrows his brow and slowly lowers his bottle from his mouth, eyes still trained on Bob’s nose and not his eyes, and asks, “Yeah, my foster mother when I was thirteen was a mechanic, she’s the reason I can repair an entire engine block despite the fact that I’ve never owned a car, how did you know that?”
Bob inhales slowly and then says, “Have you ever heard the term ‘autism’ before, Mav?”
The whole table goes silent, all realizing where he’s going with this. You could hear a pin drop amidst the quiet. Mav furrows his eyebrows together even tighter, still not meeting Bob’s eyes, and he answers, “Maybe?” "
--------------
aka, five times someone noticed that there is something different about Maverick and then the one time it all suddenly made sense.

Summary
Steve moving into the Curtis house was a dream come true. Getting his things to actually do it was turning into a nightmare.
---
"Ever since Pony’s jumping, and especially since Darry spent those big bucks on the boys room in the Curtis house, Steve hadn’t seen any reason to go to the house except for clothes on the occasion. He had a home, and that home had a nice comfy bed, the stupidest dinosaur bed sheets he, Dally and Two-Bit could find, a dresser they literally wrote his name on like they’re children, and the best friends he could ask for. The only thing missing was some important things he needed from his room and he’d be all set.
One problem. It’s in his room."
