    Summary

    Cold.

    Freezing Cold.

    That’s the first thing Jeonghan feels, thinks, and comprehends as he steps out of his carriage onto the grounds of Winterfell. His long golden robes draped against the hard ground. They have been traveling to Winterfell from Casterly Rock for the better part of a month and he doesn’t know if he should be excited to finally reach his destination, or terrified. His home is a warm place, full of hearty earth and air. Winterfell is a distinct opposite. It has been 3 summers since his last visit. And it seems nothing has changed.

    Looking back into his carriage one last time, seeing gold and red fill his vision, Jeonghan thinks that this day might be the last he feels like a Lannister, and truly, it is the last day. He’s arrived here to wed Lord Stark, has been promised to him from the time he was 9 summers old. He’s known his whole life he will one day cease to be a Lannister, he just didn’t think it would come so soon.

    Summary

    Any decent roofer knows you're supposed to cut with the grain. Cutting against the grain will split the wood unevenly and cause tearout, which is when the wood fibers are lifted and ripped haphazardly instead of cleanly cut.

    Nobody understands this better than Darrel Curtis.

    Summary

    "Sometimes…. Just sometimes wish I could write to them. Let them know I ain't dead." His thumb runs along Dallas' own. "Tell 'em I'm happy, that I love you."

    That's an impulse that Dallas will never get completely, even if it's been decades. There have been times where Ponyboy's broken, cried after a reminder of his brothers: someone with Soda's smile, someone who had that sharp tone of Darry's or his build. Times where Ponyboy has woken from a nightmare and Dallas knows it's about how he had killed the Cade kid, Ponyboy momentarily tensing up, afraid before the rest of him remembered everything else. Even if they've become less, faded over time, he can't forget Ponyboy telling him that he couldn't make them stop.

    He can't make the nightmares stop, can't stop feeling for his brothers, his parents.

    It's 1983, in a small town in Texas. Ponyboy and Dallas ran anyway after Johnny Cade was killed and now, the law has come to collect them, whether they want to go or not.
