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
‘And Pony was pretty sure that the smile on Darry’s face could rival the brightness of the sun. The kind of smile that made the corner of his eyes crinkle from happiness, not from nights of worry spent pouring over bills, trying to figure out how he would be able to put food on the table for his boys.’
Or
Moments between the Curtis brothers, the heartbreak and love that it takes to find their way to one another.

Summary
'As much as he wanted to believe those words that his mother had once spoken, how the sunrise brought something precious into the world, Darry wasn't sure if she was right anymore. The only thing this sunrise would bring would be their first full day without her and dad, that each sunrise and sunset from here on out would signify a day without them, time that the three of them would never get with their parents again.'
Or...
The Curtis brothers try their best to navigate the loss of their parents for the first six months. Finding strength and love in each other and their friends, while it might not be the easiest, each other is all they have left.

Summary
“The Curtis’ are lovely people, I promise you. I went to high school with them. They have two kids of their own, thirteen and ten, respectively. I reckon you’ll get along with them just fine.”
“Why’re they takin’ me if they already got kids?”
Catherine smiled at him through the rear view mirror. “I guess you’ll have to ask them, hm?”
Darrel grumbled, crossing his arms and sinking down into his seat.
“Darrel, stop it,” She demanded. “They’re a nice family with sweet kids. You need to try to get along with them, that’s all I’m asking. Even if it’s just for a year until you age out.”
One more year.
////
Or, after years of being bounced from house to house, Darrel Shaynne is finally getting his forever home. Or, well, the final home they’ll let him stay in. Darry doesn’t know who these Curtis’ are, but every interaction with them makes his head spin. His world tossed upside down in one afternoon.

Summary
The gang's been making jokes about Pony's weight again. Pony's been laughing along. And Darry's been telling himself it's nothing, it's just how boys are, it's fine—until he finds his baby brother curled against his chest in the dark, crying so hard he can't speak, and realizes exactly how heavy those words have become.
A story about the weight of growing up, the weight of words, and the weight of a brother's head against your heart.

Summary
There's a particular kind of quiet in the Curtis house — the kind that lives in folded laundry, in candles lit during blackouts, in a fifteen-year-old boy who starves himself so his brothers can eat and never says a word about it.
Ponyboy has always known how to carry weight without complaining, how to make the dark beautiful, how to let cruel words slide off his back like rain off a tin roof. But there's a difference between surviving and being seen, and nobody's quite figured out where that line falls yet. When Darry finally does — really, truly does — it won't be with fists or fire. It'll be with soup. And a hand on the back of a neck. And the terrifying, tender realization that the softest things in this world are sometimes the strongest.
(The lot talks. The kitchen listens. And somewhere between the two, a family learns what it actually means to carry each other.)

Summary
“Alright, kiddo,” Laura said, "just… do your best here, alright? I think this placement… it could be good for you.”
“It’s an emergency placement,” Ponyboy pointed out, barely holding himself back from rolling his eyes.
“Yes - well, even so,” Laura continued. “Listen - call me if you do have any trouble, okay? I mean it, kiddo. Just… I’m in your corner, remember?”
Ponyboy just shrugged, finding it hard to believe after all these many years of Laura complaining about his short-lived placements. If anything, it worried him more that he was being given this reminder - she didn’t normally tell him to call her if anything was the matter. Did she know something about the Curtis brothers that Pony ought to be privy to? Or had she also made the connection between Darrel’s imposing stature and Pony’s track record with attracting less-than-friendly placements?
