Summary
Darry didn’t register the way Pony tensed until he was already reaching for his left sleeve. He pulled at it without a thought—then Pony’s hand came up abruptly and stopped him.
It caught him off guard. A simple, “What are you doing?” left his mouth as he pulled the sleeve the rest of the way up.
And the moment he did, he froze. His brain didn’t process what he saw for a moment.
Oh.
Pony’s wrist was completely covered in burn marks.
But not the same marks from the fire in Windrixville—not wild and uncontrolled like some of the scars he had from the burning church.
These were clearly from cigarettes. His cigarettes.
Oh.
Or: Ponyboy’s been hurting himself, and Darry finds out. A confrontation ensues.

Summary
Soda opened the door.
"Hi."
Oh.
As suspected, there was Johnny Cade standing on their front porch. The strange part? He was drenched in rain, shivering a storm, and covered head to toe in blood. Johnny looked like a beaten mutt, with the way his suspicious black eyes were wide and hollow, a wild contrast from the crimson across his face. A long, ugly, jagged gash sliced through his left temple, blood flowing freely from the wound like a river between them, matching with the scarlet that poured from his bottom lip. His hands were completely busted, knuckles split open, like he'd fought tooth and nail with something or someone.All the color drained from Soda's face. Something dark and stormy bled over his features. "Jonathan Andrew Cade," he said. "What the hell?"
Or: Johnny shows up to the Curtis household with a cracked head and a concussion. Soda, being the second oldest home, takes it upon himself to patch him up.

Summary
Dally inhaled sharply and slammed his hands down on the table. It spooked Johnny so bad that he flinched hard. "I've about had it with your folks, Johnny! They're awful to you! Why do you even—why do you still live over there? Why d'you bother, when this happens?"
Johnny stared. He didn't have an answer for him. He truly didn't know why, but he didn't have it in him to leave. "I got nowhere else to go."
"Now that just ain't true—" Dally huffed, "The Curtis kids would take you in like a stray pup in a lick of a second. Two-Bit's Ma would be happy to have ya. Hell, you could live with Steve. His dad sure ain't great, but at least he doesn't beat him stupid."
"I don't wanna be a problem," Johnny admitted.
"Kid, your old man is markin' you up so bad that you don't got a sliver of skin that ain't bruised. Nobody would think twice about letting you stay with 'em. As long as it keeps you away from this—" To get his point across, Dally reached over and pinched him by the cheek. "You don't deserve this, Johnny."
And Johnny just stared at him.
Or: Johnny misses the bus, gets a beating, and ends up ditching school to hang out with Dallas. They have a talk.

Summary
"I guess you leave me no choice."
Darry grabbed his ankles and yanked, and that sure woke him up. With a yelp, Pony scrambled for his bed frame and latched onto it like a lifeline. "Jeez, Darry, quit it! You're bein' nuts!"
Darry kept pulling him, looking damn near close to wrestling him off of the mattress. "Hey, I asked nicely! Ain't my fault you won't listen!"
"You haven't asked nice for nothin' a day in your life! Cut it out!"
"Yeah, cause you're challengin' my authority!" With one final pull, Darry yanked him right off the bed like he weighed as much as a feather. Pony scrambled, feeling oddly similar to a small animal as Darry shook him by his ankles and held him upside down. "You keep this up and I'm groundin' you on the spot."
"You can't do that!"
"Who says I can't? I'm in charge and whatever I say goes. You wanna start gettin' ready for school, or do you wanna be grounded for a month?"
Or: Pony refuses to get up for school. Darry makes him. Tears and comfort ensue shortly after.

Summary
'"Did you have a bad dream?"
Soda nodded weakly.
"Wanna tell me what happened?"
Instinctively, his older brother gripped his hand harder. Then Soda gazed back up at the ceiling and closed his eyes. "It—it ain't important, Ponyboy. You can go back'ta sleep."
Pony didn't like that. Not one bit. "You always say it's good to talk about them. S'healthy."
Soda said that a lot, actually. His words were always something like: "There ain't no reason to be embarrassed about this, Ponyboy," and then he'd wipe his tears with his thumb and grin that toothy, lovable grin of his. "You can talk to me. Always. Tell me what happened."
Pony always told him about his dreams. The good and the bad.
But now, he was only met with silence. Then, Soda sniffled. "I-I guess I do, huh?"
His older brother looked like he was struggling to find the words. Then he looked like he didn't want to speak at all. Finally, he settled on a deep breath. "You... you never came home."'
Or: Soda has a nightmare. Pony talks him through it.

Summary
"'You seem to want that 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙚!' Pony's hand came harder down onto the tomatoes, furiously cutting in choppy, frustrated squares. 'Feels like all I ever do is 𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙗𝙡𝙚𝙢𝙨! 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙩'𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙄 𝙙𝙤! 𝘼𝙡𝙡 𝙄 𝙙𝙤 𝙞𝙨—'
A hot pain stabbed through his finger. With a sharp yelp, Pony scrambled, the knife flying out of his hand and clattering against the table with a clash. The tomato fell off the cutting board. He ripped his hand away and held it tightly against his chest. 'Damn it, 𝙤𝙬—'
With a gasp of pain, he looked at his hand. At first, it didn't bleed. But Pony saw the large gash in his finger that was deep, deep, deep from the knife.
In a split second, blood bloomed into the cut, bled over his skin, and ran down his hand in thick, red drops."
Or: Darry and Pony get into a fight as they make dinner together. Pony (like a dunce) accidentally cuts his finger. Darry, obviously, is worried sick.

Summary
"A stifled sob cracked through the air. They all turned to the mangled lump of blood and bruises on the cold concrete.
Raph reached him in an instant. Casey was lying flat on his back, and with the way he looked, it wasn't a secret. He'd been beaten badly.
That was the thing—Raph was used to seeing him banged up. Casey wasn't exactly the approachable type. He earned himself plenty of cuts and scrapes and bruises, ranging from strangers to his own father. Those beatings had been nothing like this. Casey's face was cut up and bruised and swelling like a rotting fruit. Lines of blood flooded from his nose like waterfalls, flowing over the small cuts around his mouth.
Raph stared at him, suddenly feeling very cold. Casey could very well be dead. Surely nobody could be beaten like that and live. He shook him gently. 'Case?'
Casey flinched hard. An ugly sound ripped out of his throat, the noise making Raph's stomach twisted in such a vulgar way that he felt like he was going to throw up. Then, without opening his eyes, Casey said quietly, 'Re—Raph?'"
Or: Casey gets jumped on the way to the lair. The turtles find him a mess of wounds. Raph is worried sick.

Summary
"Wukong’s ear flicked. All the built-up anger he felt at that moment flooded out of his system. A lump formed in his throat. He stared, unblinking, as every bone in his body went rigid.
Mk’s defensive and angry glare fell when Wukong gave no response. The kid stopped as well, looked down, blinked, and then froze. 'Oh,' the words slipped out of his successors mouth, 'Oh.'
Time stopped. They stared at each other, unblinking. A violent metallic scent stained the air. Then, 'Mk?'
Mk flinched, but now it looked painful.
Wukong couldn’t remember himself speaking before the words were already spoken. 'Mk, is that 𝒃𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒅?'"
Or: Mk's had a long year, and it's finally catching up to him. He recklessly shreds his arms to pieces. He forgets that he has training the next day. Monkey King is the first person he lets through his walls. Wukong finds out just how damaged he is.

Summary
"Varian," Rapunzel started, gesturing to him as a whole, "You've made... a lot of mistakes. You've done things that have hurt lots of people in the past. But everyone has made mistakes, good people and bad people alike. So, I'm going to ask you one thing. Do you think you're a good person?"
Varian blinked roughly, confusion slowly warping his expression. That was not what he'd been expecting to hear. At all.
"No." He said bluntly, his eyes finding their way back to the ground. There wasn't a kinder way to word it—Varian was a master of destruction. He was capable of gruesome and terrible things. No good person had the power or willingness to commit the crimes he had.
Rapunzel just smiled hopefully at him—the same smile she gave him when they were locked in a cell together.
"Do you want to be?"
or: The aftermath of Rapunzel’s Return regarding Varian and his issues. (And boy does he have many)

Tags
Summary
‘Every day, his anger pulled him deeper under water, further into the void until he wasn’t sure where the void started and where it ended. It consumed him. His happiness, his passion, his spark. Sometimes he couldn’t be sure if a beating heart was still inside him, capable of loving and trusting, or if the void had stolen that too.
Sometimes he lifts a hand over his chest in search for a heartbeat. He never felt one. It was too dim to seek out.‘
Or: Varian's starting to go a little nuts in prison. That's it. That's the fic.

Summary
"Leo didn't know what to do or how to help. But in the haze of it, he caught a glimpse of Casey's eyes, wide and terrified and smothered with tears. That's when he noticed it. Casey's eyes were bloodshot red. To a point where it was scary. And all of a sudden, his behavior made a lot of sense. The panic, the over sharing, the honesty, the carelessness, all of it.
Oh.
Oh boy.
Leo wasn't just talking to a sleep deprived Casey who was info dumping. He was talking to a Casey who was high out of his damn mind right now. He was talking to a Casey who was having a panic attack all the while being stoned out of his soul.
Oh.
That actually made a lot more sense. A lot.
That explained why he was awake. Why he was swaying from side to side whenever he stood. Why his legs never seemed to work properly. Why he and Raph came home late. Why they snuck back home without anyone noticing. Why he was oversharing. Why Casey was freaking out.
But that realization didn't help the situation in front of him."
Or: Leo finds Casey awake in the middle of the night. Somehow, that escalates to him trying to guide the guy through a panic attack.

Summary
"There was a long pause before the snapper started hesitantly, his voice shaking and his gaze to the floor, "Were... were you trying to jump off the ledge earlier?"
Leo's eyes widened.
His mouth opened and closed a few times as he tried to process the words. He searched for a response but found nothing to respond with. He felt frozen and stuck.
Shit.
"I... didn't want to assume anything," Raph started with a panicked expression, scratching his neck anxiously, "I... saw yo—you were gonna... I didn't know how to bring it up without it sounding like a slap in the face. I-I think no response was my answer to all my questions."
And that was all Leo needed to hear to start panicking.
Raph knew.
That wasn't good. That wasn't good at all."
Or: Leo attempts to kill himself a month after the invasion. Inconveniently, someone stops him before he can follow through with it.

Summary
One night, Donnie’s phone rings. Leo was on the other line, his voice casual yet strangely monotoned and emotionless.
“Let’s see… I may or may not be covered in my own blood if that paints the picture.” Was the sentence that made Donnie’s world stop.
Leo was in trouble and he needed help. Just not in the way Donnie had been expecting.

Summary
‘Leo flinched away from his reflection in the broken shards of the mirror, a few more tears collecting in his eyes as his gaze locked onto the glass. He could barely even look at his tired and raw expression without feeling nauseous, whether that was from guilt or disgust.
He stared at his torn-up reflection, split apart and cracked as it caught into the shattered mirror. The way the glass fractured his face into pieces made his appearance look that much more grim. His tear-stained cheeks, the lack of his usual blue mask, the sickly dark eye bags under his eyes, the hollow dim in his irises, his entire face as a whole looked somewhat disoriented as it duplicated and cracked. The person in the mirror was almost unrecognizable.
Wow, that was him. He looked horrible.’
Or: Leo stares at himself in a cracked mirror. A stranger looks back at him—someone vaguely familiar, but almost unrecognizable.

Summary
“Breathing heavily and wiping the dirt that covered his face with a cheeky laugh, Jack leaned into Aster's face with a smug grin. Aster didn't know what his own face must've looked like at the moment, but whatever was displayed, he didn't want to know.
"Victory, huh?" Jack sneered simply. "Who's laughing now, Roo? I win.”
And holy shit, Aster didn't know if he wanted to melt into the ground, or disappear from the face of the earth, or shove the barrel of a gun down his throat, or passionately make out with this man instantly.”
Or: Bunny ultimately loses a game of roughhousing between him and Jack. The good part? There was no such thing. The bad part? The man of his dreams was practically sitting on top of him. It’s weirdly intimate.
(This is OLD sorry)
