When silence hurts more by Kammly
Fandoms: The Outsiders - S. E. Hinton, The Outsiders (1983)

Summary
Ponyboy was still so young—just fourteen, still soft around the edges, and too full of love for a world that hadn’t been gentle with him. Orphaned and aching, he clung to his older brothers with all he had. He gave freely. Unconditionally.
Darry and Sodapop loved him back—deeply, fiercely, in the only ways they knew how. But they forgot something vital:
Homes aren't only broken fists, blood, or broken bones.
Sometimes, a home loses its meaning in the quiet—
when the silences stretch too long, when the affection becomes rare, rushed, or reluctant, when shame replaces tenderness, and when presence becomes performance.This series is full of tenderness, aching warmth, and quiet heartbreak—each part a soft unraveling of how neglect doesn’t always shout… sometimes, it just forgets to hold on.

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.)

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. ♡
