Summary
September, 1968
The Curtis gang is gathered for the anniversary of Dally and Johnny’s deaths when unexplained counts of violence begin bursting all over Tulsa.
The five of them are no strangers to nightmares, but no amount of trouble or grief could’ve prepared them for the end of the world. All around them, through an unexplainable, contagious sickness, people are turning into mindless, deadly monsters. And while the Curtis gang is together, all of their loved ones are not.
How can you find and protect everyone you love when the very world you know has ended? Especially when sometimes, the real monsters are the people you thought you knew.

Summary
Ten years ago, the Curtis parents died, leaving their three sons to the system.
Three years ago, Darry turned eighteen and brought Ponyboy home for kinship placement.
One week ago, Darry turned twenty-one, so he could finally begin the process of adopting Ponyboy.
For years, Darry has searched desperately for Soda, blocked by closed records, misplaced files, and every obstacle the system could throw in his way.
When a new caseworker enters Pony's life for the adoption process and Darry finally learns that Soda was adopted three and a half years ago and now goes by Patrick “Paddy” Collins—a boy with a new name, a new family, and little memory of the seven-year-old life he’d once had with Ponyboy and Darry, the Curtis brothers have to navigate reunion, heartbreak, and building up a relationship again with the brother they’ve been missing all these years.

Summary
Galveston, Texas, 1900
Ponyboy Curtis and his family live in the island town of Galveston. Life has been rough waters since his parents died in a maritime accident eight months ago. But his brothers are trying. Life's alright with Johnny Cade at his side and the rest of his gang to back him up, especially when "wharf dogs" like them are targeted by the east side "stockings," the rich kids from the Silkstocking District.
Galveston is built to weather storms. But even then, they'll never see a hurricane in their lives. It just isn't a possible phenomenon. Ponyboy and his family have enough storms to weather in their own lives, all meteorology aside. Galveston is the fastest-growing southern city in the country. There's nowhere to go but up. And Ponyboy has great expectations as a boy who lives in what is soon to be Texas's greatest city.
Until a hurricane catches the island off-guard, and, separated, the Curtis gang has to fight for their lives to not only save themselves, but get back to each other again. If there's anyone else left alive.
or
A historical survival fic based off of the 1900 Galveston Hurricane, the deadliest natural disaster in U.S. history.
