Summary
On the way back from a call, Buck is abducted and brutally assaulted. The aftermath is messy: Buck insists he’s fine (he's not), Eddie is wracked with guilt (predictably), and Christopher knows way too much (as usual). As the 118 rallies around them, everyone has to grapple with the fallout of the violence and what it means for Buck, for Buck and Eddie, and for themselves.

Summary
“Pony,” Soda whispered, voice barely more than breath. “Please talk to me.”
Pony didn’t move. Didn’t flinch. Just stayed curled up, facing the wall.
“Pony, please,” Soda said again, and now there was a crack in it. Real worry. “Me and Dar, we’re scared. I miss you, honey.”
The words hit him harder than the bruises ever could.
A hand slipped gently into his hair, brushing it back the way it always used to. Pony swallowed, hard.
“‘M okay, Soda,” he mumbled. His voice was thin, frayed at the edges. “It’s okay.”
“It’s not,” Soda said softly. “You look like you’re fading away.”
—
When a group of Socs corner Ponyboy and beat him up, they don’t just leave bruises — they leave doubts. Doubts about whether he really belongs with Darry and Sodapop. Doubts about whether he’s anything more than a stray they took pity on. Afraid to be a burden, Pony begins to pull away from the only real family he’s ever known. But Darry and Soda aren’t about to let him go without a fight.

Summary
Ponyboy Curtis didn’t do drugs– or at least, he hadn’t before. Or maybe he still hadn’t, and all the fuzziness and blankness and distance between himself and the rest of the world was something else. Something… not drugs.
'Right,' Pony thought, his hand gripping a railing on a staircase he didn’t recognize, in a house he had never stepped foot in, 'but this is probably drugs.'
-
Months after the almost-murder of Bob Sheldon, Ponyboy has mostly gotten back to normal. Johnny is fine, he's fine, the not sleeping is fine, the fear of cold water is fine: he just has to convince everyone else of these facts, too.

Summary
“I don’t mean for this to sound harsh.” Darrel said, turning back to look at Ponyboy from the doorway. “But this won’t be your permanent home. It's nothing personal. We just can't afford another mouth to feed long term.”
Pony nodded. That made sense. Why would anyone want to keep him for longer than they absolutely had to?

or: the AU where foster kid Ponyboy is placed to temporarily live with Darry and Soda. But it's just temporary...right?

Summary
When Peter was young, very very young, this terrible thing happened. It made him very upset, but he had to keep it a secret, because that’s what the adult told him to do, and adults are always right.
The thing about secrets, though, is that they weigh heavy on you, and eventually, something has to give.
———
In which Peter has very successfully repressed some trauma, which totally isn't going to come back and bite him in the ass when he's older.
Totally.

Summary
"They got me a babysitter," Peter continues, forcibly tearing himself back to the present. He swallows. "His name.. his name was Skip."
He hasn’t said that name in so long that it sounds foreign on his tongue, like a language he was once fluent in but forgot.
(As a kid, Peter read that a person only truly dies the last time someone talks about them. That was his logic - if he never spoke of him, maybe he would fade away. Maybe he would finally stop appearing in his nightmares. Maybe he would finally leave him alone.)
-
You can't outrun your trauma, no matter how far ahead you get. Peter is living proof of this fact.

Summary
“Buck, what is this?” Eddie asks him.
In Eddie’s hand is a shirt. It’s draped over a hanger that had been shoved right to the back of Buck’s closet so he didn’t have to look at it, so he doesn’t even have to think about it except for when the violent memories of that day tear him from sleep. He could have gotten rid of it - should have, probably. But something had always stopped him, had made him hold onto it like a trophy for the very worst thing that he survived.
The shirt is white, with thin grey stripes running vertical, and dark burgundy blood stains spattered all over it.

Summary
His body battled a tsunami for Christopher, and it pulled Eddie to safety beneath a fire truck.
It was useful. And for Buck, it was only ever about the practical. His body was a tool for other people, just like when he was a kid - like when his parents took, and took, and took from him, like he was built for spare parts. Not a whole thing. He was born to save, and the truth of that is wired into his DNA. He’s been carrying the weight of his trauma since the moment he was born.
His body was never his. Not really.
