Summary
"The living room curtain was opened partially, and the room was blue.
Chris was asleep, unaware.
She didn’t want to work herself up too hard about the consequences of what she had just done. The uncertainty of her future, and what it meant as a woman to divorce her husband. It was more common these days, she knew. But it didn’t make it any less of a taboo. She wished she felt some sort of satisfaction. She had done it; she was out. All she had to do was start the car and leave and she was free.
She felt empty, chewed up, and spat back out; the scud on the bottom of someone’s shoe.
I want my brothers, Pony thought to herself.
Pony slipped Chris' sunglasses over her eyes and jammed the keys into the ignition, the car roaring to life with an anguished cry. She peeled out of the driveway, tires squealing, and, without a glance back, barreled down the street towards home"
Or,
Ponygirl Curtis was never cut out to be a housewife, and when Chris takes things too far, she does the impossible and leaves. But sometimes it's more difficult to leave than stay.

Summary
"And then, he looked up from where the Boss lay and saw Steve Randle standing over him, hot and sweaty. He clutched his side, shirt staining red. Then Steve's head snapped over to him, and Ponyboy didn't know if he had ever seen Steve so mad before.
"'You ,' he spat venomously. His finger jutted out. "Where the hell’ve you been?!"
Ponyboy's mouth dropped open. He pushed himself up on his good arm. 'You can't be serious! I just saved your life! A thank you would be nice!'
'You don't get it!' Steve stepped forward so that he was towering over him. Ponyboy did his best to seem as defiant as possible, meeting his wild gaze. "Three months, Ponyboy. You have been gone three months, and you, what, show up now? Glory, you always have shitty timing, ya know that? Coulda returned at any time, and you chose tonight of all things.'"
--
It takes Ponyboy Curtis two days to run away.
It takes three months for him to come back to Tulsa.
It takes one night for him to decide to stay.

Summary
“It seemed Pony had rendered Sodapop Curtis, notorious motor mouth, silent.
Pony felt a blush creep up her neck, burning her up. She picked at a scab on her nails. ‘I, uh, got sick of my hair. So I cut it.’
Soda blinked. ‘Cut. It,’ he tested the words out numbly. Like it didn’t compute. Then, he ran a hand through his own un-greased hair. ‘Lordy Pony, ya did more than cut it. You destroyed it. It looks like ya put it a damn blender. And the bathroom, Glory. And - and your ear!’

Summary
“Ponyboy looked at the receiver.
Darry didn’t know when he was getting Ponyboy back - never maybe. And Jerry had crossed a line tonight. Nothing would stop him from beating his cousin into an early grave. Ponyboy didn’t know if he had it in him to make to eighteen. If this storm didn’t kill him, Jerry would.
But.
If Jerry died in the storm first, then, well, Ponyboy would be free of him.”

Or, an AU completely and totally inspired by Carrie Underwood’s “Blown Away”

Summary
"Agent A, is everything all right? Did the demon brat fall down a well or something?"
"No, Red Robin, everything is not alright. Your brother...he's out there - all alone. The dam has been rigged with explosives-."
Tim stopped listening after the word explosives. In an instant it all clicked together. The wild goose chase around Gotham for Firefly. The fires in the Narrows. The radio station. He could feel the anxiety begin to creep up his throat.
It looked like they were in for a long night.
--
After coming back from the dead, Damian Wayne is desperate to regain his place by his father's side and a certain blue snow globe with a whole lot of bombs gives him the opportunity. But as his night spirals further and further out of control, he will be forced to learn the truth the hard way: he never even had to prove himself in the first place.

Summary
“Spock had known that he wanted to bond with Jim since the moment they first touched. They had been sparring in the gym…In that brief moment, barely ten seconds, Spock had become whole. And when their hands parted, Spock had discovered what it truly meant to be empty.
I want to spend forever with you, Spock wished to say.
Instead, he said: ‘You do not trust me.’”
-
After six months of being together, Spock is ready to take things to the next level. Jim’s not. The Starfleet captain’s ingenious solution? Runaway to an ice planet and not invite his Vulcan bodyguard. Which goes just about as well as you imagine.
