Summary
Darry couldn't see much, everything a blur, but under the yellow light of the street lamps Dallas looked determined, almost at peace. That was until he saw Ponyboy hurtling towards him, begging him to stop, to think. He turned his head slightly to face him, movements jerky and stilted. Only then did his face contort into a look of guilty realisation, but at that point it was too late.
The policemen's guns rang out, deafening and in that moment, omnipotent.

Summary
She couldn’t help it. He just looked so…helpless, sitting alone on that bench.
Mary was loath to compare anyone to her baby–but. He looked a bit like Curtis on that awful day, staring out the window at her as the bus pulled away, waving to his mother with wide, frightened eyes.
Curtis Lamb. Angus Tulley. Two very different men. Two very different fates. At the end of the day, both still alone.
She couldn’t save her baby. He was thousands of miles away, buried under rubble or shot at by enemies–or his own men, it was hard to tell the difference through the rain and orange fog…
But.
She could save this motherless boy.

Summary
Rewriting Tex from Mason's POV.
All Mason McCormick wants to do is become a basketball star, do well in school, get a scholarship, get to college, and leave Oklahoma. But Pop hasn't been home in four months, the money has run out, and Mason is left to figure out how on earth to take care of his fifteen-year-old brother, Tex, when Mason himself is only seventeen.
There are those who go and those who stay. If Mason doesn't do something quickly, he's afraid he's doomed to be the latter.
(Some of the Outsiders characters will make cameos.)

i could be your lover (and you could be my heartache) by sunsetozier

Summary
Silence. Hungry, carnivorous—or maybe cavernous, vast and lined with teeth, ready to bite. The quiet before the storm, the gasped breath in before the heart stops. Tragedy tastes bitter. Blood tastes like pennies. Both are in the air, promises coating the tongue. Something bad is about to happen.
From beneath the bed, something reaches out—a mass of darkness, a shapeless nothing—and it grabs Mike by the wrist, yanks him forward. Mike chokes on a yelp and flails his arm free, blood dripping from where the shadows grabbed him, like the touch of darkness has split him open. He tries to scramble away, unfolds his legs to kick himself back but only makes himself easier, more vulnerable. The unidentifiable mass encircles Mike's ankle, and he screams something agonized, terrified—and then it pulls Mike, clawing at the carpet with his bloodied fingers, under the bed.
This time, the silence isn't hungry. It's satisfied.
will starts entering the mindscape in his dreams on the same night that mike gets taken by vecna. this is probably the least confusing part of everything that happens after.
