Soda and the Soc by Cetigapolo
Fandoms: The Outsiders - S. E. Hinton, The Outsiders (1983), The Outsiders: The Musical - Jamestown Revival & Levine/Rapp

Summary
Titled for Soda because story was not preplanned, but entire (surviving) gang is featured at different points in the story. Focus is on friendships, trauma healing, (found) family, and (for some of them at least) romance. Canon-complaint. Adult themes are present including abuse, assault, mental health/suicide, references to sexuality.
Prompts welcome and the following chapters can be read in isolation if you're looking for one-shots that are hurt/comfort with the brothers: 11, 17, 59, 107, 124, 145. Several other chapters not listed could also be read as stand-alones but do contain OCs.
FYI that I post rough drafts and then rewrite as story progresses.

Summary
Ponyboy didn’t know what was wrong with him. Everything had been going good; his grades were high, Darrel hadn’t hollered at him in a while, and the Socs even seemed to have backed off a little too. Even though, Pony was conflicted.
Or
Ponyboy navigates his feelings while simultaneously dealing with the obstacles of the 1960s.

Summary
When Ponyboy wakes up in the hospital, he doesn't remember why he is there or anything that's happened over the past year. Worse, nobody will tell him. And when the gang starts acting weird around each other, Ponyboy decides it's about time he finds out what happened before it tears everyone apart. Post-Novel.

Summary
"And then, because he couldn't help it—because he had to know—Darry asked, 'You ever feel like you've done something before? Like…you've done this before?'
'No,' Soda said slowly. He'd started rubbing circles on Ponyboy's back, but now he paused. 'I don't—what're you talkin' about?'"
Or, Darry knows he hasn't been a perfect guardian (far from it). He's got plenty of regrets. So when he finds himself thrown backwards in time, reliving all his past mistakes, he realizes this might be his chance to fix things once and for all.
(A Darry POV time travel/fix-it fic)

Summary
This was it: the moment Darry became a parent. Not while joyously clutching his future wife’s hand in a hospital room, but sitting at the kitchen table of his childhood home at only 20 years old, the ink still drying on the guardianship papers and fresh dirt covering his parents’ graves.
Darry learns what it means to be a parent.

Ponyboy Curtis has been riding for the Pony Express since its inauguration a year ago. His gang and family works at the home station he frequents. It’s hard work, but it’s thrilling. The mail must be fast, no matter what.

Summary
Ever since Ponyboy was young, whenever him and his Ma were home alone, whenever one of them wasn't feeling well, and didn't want to outwardly say anything, they talked through the only language they knew, the only language that only they understood, the one thing they both cherished deeply in their hearts, dancing.
———————————Ponyboy loves dance? ( I suck at summaries)
