Misguided Delusions and the Anguish that Smolders by EmeraldKit1412
Fandoms: The Outsiders - S. E. Hinton

Summary
'Tim took a step closer, voice softer than pony had ever heard it, “Golly kid, Dallas and Cade are alive. They're tough. It takes a hell of a lot more to kill ‘im than that. They're just at the hospital gettin’ better.”
Pony's head whipped up to look at Tim, “No they ain't! I done seen ‘em die with my own eyes! And if.. if they was alive then someone would've told me..” 'Or Ponyboy is having a rough time. The sickness he had during the rumble got worse and lasted 2 whole weeks. Darrell, concerned for his brothers health and stressed with medical bills, may or may not have forgotten to mention that Dally and Johnny are alive and well and pony suffers for it. He winds up at the shepards house just to find out curly (accidentally) ditched him. That one thing triggers a spiral and now its up to Tim to fix the Curtis gangs problems for them... again. Probably with force. If he breaks his hand it well have been worth it.
This was meant to be a one-shot but when I got to 5000 words and I wasn't even halfway done I decided to make chapters.

A Gift They Didn’t Deserve by Cherry_Blooom

Summary
The Shepards had never felt true love. At least, not the kind that makes your chest ache with sweetness so sharp it steals your breath, not the kind that weakens your knees and makes you feel weightless and rooted all at once.
They had known fists and knives, alleyways and slammed doors. They had known hunger that clawed through their ribs, betrayal that cut deeper than steel, anger that kept them alive when nothing else would. But love? Real love? That was a foreign language, something they had only caught in glimpses—mothers holding babies close at the grocery store, a boy laughing with his brother as if nothing in the world could break that bond.
Not until Ponyboy.
And even then, it was strange.
Wrong, almost.
A thing they weren’t built for.
Aka: A compilation of one-shots and two-shots about one of Tulsa’s most dangerous gangs… and Ponyboy Curtis.
Something that shouldn’t have worked out the way it did.
(But then again, God’s been in the business of making impossible things happen since the beginning of time.)

One Last Kiss by annieareyouokay69

Summary
“One last kiss, I need you like I need a gaping head wound.”
or
Darry watched Tim’s mouth sneer into a more familiar look, the brown of his irises hiding for a second or two as he rolled them back.
“So what do ya’ want from me, Darry? It already happened, there ain’t nothing you, or I can do to change that.” Tim sighed long and heavy, turning back away as he took another drag of his cigarette. Darry sat there almost frozen.
There was nothing they could do about it. Darry had fallen back into the sweet feeling of sin, and he had to pay in pestering guilt. The flame that would keep him up at night, tossing from side to side as his stomach burned with what always felt like a preview of his future of fires of hell licking at his body.

Summary
Two-Bit and Steve make a couple of dumb jokes at the DX, thinking they're being funny.
They don't realize Tim Shepard is right there, and they certainly don't realize their jokes are like little daggers to a man who’s found his whole world in a girl named Pone.
What they see as a scandal, he sees as a miracle.
And you better believe he's not about to let anyone cheapen that.
Aka: It was supposed to be just a one-short. I turned it into a collection of one-shorts about this couple. ♡
