Lives Told in Patchwork Quilts by Maeve_Pendergast
Fandoms: The Outsiders - S. E. Hinton, The Outsiders: The Musical - Jamestown Revival & Levine/Rapp

Summary
“Pony, Pony,” Darry sits up from the rug and takes his youngest brother by the arms, “Johnny is dead. Dally is dead. But you can’t go too. We’d fall apart without you. We’d be nothing without you. Ever since you and Soda were born, my entire life has been about you two. You’re everything to me and, and-”
His voice cracks right down the middle, like a splinter of lightning across a darkened sky.
“Ponyboy, I watched Mom and Dad die, then Johnny and Dally. I can’t watch you die too. I know I’m hard on you, I know sometimes I get mad and I shout and I struggle, but I love you. I’m just so scared.”
Based on a scene in the musical where Cherry returns Johnny’s clothes to Ponyboy and he just sits with his knees to his chin, clutching the bundle of clothes to his chest and refusing to speak. It was so poignant, such a moment of raw and real grief.

You'll Be In My Heart by etdancer

Summary
Almost ten years ago, the Curtis family's world falls apart when four year old Ponyboy is taken from the park nearby. Darry and Soda are left reeling when their parents are killed in an accident two weeks before the ninth anniversary of their brother's disappearance. In order for Darry to keep custody of Soda, he has to agree to be a temporary foster care parent. With an overcrowded system, he knows this is the State's way of creating more houses, and Darry knows he'll do whatever he can to keep his brother.
However, when Peter James, a fourteen year old who demands to be called "Pony", gets put in his care, Darry can't help but think he's getting more than he bargained for. It's impossible for him not to notice the similarities, and Darry and Soda both find themselves putting all the missing pieces together so that they might reunite with their baby brother, and bring him home for good.
aka an AU where Ponyboy finds his way back to his brothers in an unconventional way, proving that he's their baby brother in every universe, and they'll always find a way to take care of him.
The title of course comes from Phil Collins

The Meek Shall Inherit by Cherry_Blooom

21 Jun 2026

Summary
There's a particular kind of quiet in the Curtis house — the kind that lives in folded laundry, in candles lit during blackouts, in a fifteen-year-old boy who starves himself so his brothers can eat and never says a word about it.
Ponyboy has always known how to carry weight without complaining, how to make the dark beautiful, how to let cruel words slide off his back like rain off a tin roof. But there's a difference between surviving and being seen, and nobody's quite figured out where that line falls yet. When Darry finally does — really, truly does — it won't be with fists or fire. It'll be with soup. And a hand on the back of a neck. And the terrifying, tender realization that the softest things in this world are sometimes the strongest.
(The lot talks. The kitchen listens. And somewhere between the two, a family learns what it actually means to carry each other.)

lover, come home to me by cherrylilies (cherrydialectic)
Fandoms: Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid, Heated Rivalry (TV)
16 Feb 2026

Summary
Shane loses his game to a blizzard and his boyfriend to a bad hit, all in the same night.
Snowed in with his parents in Montreal, he watches Ilya get stretchered off on live TV, and discovers that when your relationship is a secret, no one at the hospital thinks to call you.
In Ottawa, Ilya wakes up with broken bones, a serious concussion, and a neatly edited brain. The months where he was lonely and depressed and fighting with Shane? Gone. He’s mentally living in the soft, hopeful beginning of things—and the more everyone tiptoes around him, the more wrong it feels.
The Centaurs step up. The Hollanders dig in. Shane tries to convince himself that “temporary amnesia” is not the same thing as losing him.
They’re still together. They’re technically fine.

Summary
Ilya Rozanov has always understood the power of a name.
On the ice, it’s a threat.
In headlines, it’s a brand.
In Boston, it’s a chant.But in Moscow, it was once a lullaby.
And in Shane Hollander’s voice, it becomes something softer. Something dangerous. Something that makes Ilya want more than he was ever meant to have.From a golden kitchen in Moscow to the roar of Boston crowds, from hotel rooms and tuna melts to hospital monitors and wedding vows, this is the story of how a boy who learned what silence feels like finds someone who refuses to stop saying his name.
And maybe—just maybe—that’s what saves him.

Summary
After a viral photo outs Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov while they're still busy pretending their years-long situationship is mostly just sex, the fallout gets complicated fast. The world reacts badly. Their teams react worse. Ilya's future in North America starts to look alarmingly fragile, and Shane, who has never met a disaster he didn't try to control into submission, throws himself into fixing what can still be fixed.
Ilya has spent his whole life being wanted for the wrong reasons and discarded for the right ones. Shane has spent his whole life believing that if he is careful enough, good enough, controlled enough, he can keep disaster from reaching the people he loves.
A practical solution emerges, then a house, then rings.
Somehow, by the time they say their vows, both of them are certain they are the only one who means them.

Mars in His Eyes, Stars in His Hair by Andromeda_Child
Fandoms: The Outsiders - S. E. Hinton, The Outsiders (1983), The Outsiders: The Musical - Jamestown Revival & Levine/Rapp
13 Jun 2026

Summary
There is a particular kind of exhaustion that settles into the bones when every day looks like the one before it—a dull, leaden weight that strips the gold from the morning.
To the Greasers, survival was a study in two colors: the ash of the lot and the red of the fray. They lived in the shadows of their own reputations until a quiet kid with a book began to smudge the lines.
Ponyboy didn’t mean to be a catalyst; he simply existed in a different hue.
Through him, the world stopped being a charcoal sketch and started to look like something wet and living—a messy wash of color that even the deepest shadows couldn't quite iron out.

Little Brother, Big Love by Cherry_Blooom

Summary
Ponyboy's always been the quiet one—bookish, skittish, and painted in shades of bashful red whenever affection touches him too closely. But to Darry and Sodapop, he's the sun they orbit, the softness they protect in a world far too rough.
This is a story stitched with warmth, where every brush of fingers through his hair, every shared laugh at the kitchen table, and every sleepy moment on the couch says one thing: you’re ours. And we love you more than life itself.
And maybe—just maybe—Ponyboy is starting to believe it.

Summary
Children’s hair sometimes changes color as you grow. When he’s young enough for it not to be unusual, but old enough to know he’ll get in trouble for doing something ‘freakish’ again, Harry's hair goes from his father's dark locks to his mother's bright, most-likely-magical red hair.
It changes everything about who he identifies with, who he wants to grow up to be, and who he thinks he is. Instead of having James Potter as his idol, Lily turns out to be a much better influence.
So instead of seeing a scruffy, most-likely-muggleborn boy standing beside him in Madam Malkin's before their first year, Draco only has eyes for the scarlet-haired, green-eyed creature who just walked into his life. Not that Harry will ever notice, given he's trying to simply survive Hogwarts.Story Discord: https://discord.gg/8b7zt5PBHp

This is not that story.
