    Summary

    Marcia was to Ace what the sun is to the earth. Everything just seemed to orbit around her.

    She still remembered in vivid detail the first day she ever met Marcia. Ace was no older than eight, maybe. Little Marica had just moved to town and, by the luck of whatever greater force there was in the universe, was plopped right into her second grade class. Even sat two seats ahead of Ace, which meant she saw the girl every time she lifted her head to look at the teacher.

    or, giving Ace from The Outsiders Musical an actual character beyond just being "the girl greaser™" and making her the lesbian she should've been (ft. Two-Bit getting a little beat up by the Socs for fun)

    Summary

    “If I remember correctly,” Soda began in a tone that told Darry he was about to be irritated with him. “When you were fifteen, you also ran into the house during a twister.”

    Darry glared at him. “Yeah, 'cause my dumbass kid brother decided he needed a book.”

    “And Pony is simply following in your footsteps,” Soda said, slapping Pony’s shoulder and getting a smile out of him.

    Summary

    “I’ve just been thinkin’, since tomorrow’s Johnny’s birthday, first o’ March,” Ponyboy says from his seat. “And I know you ain’t baked since…” his youngest brother trails off, but eventually finds it in himself to continue, “but I was thinkin’ maybe you could bake a chocolate cake for him tonight so he could swing by tomorrow and we could all celebrate, ‘cause you always made the best ones? His folks won’t give a damn it’s his birthday, y’know.”

    Darry freezes with a plate in his hand, and his blood seems to run cold.

    or, it’s two months after their parents' death and for the first time since it happened, darry's asked to bake the very same thing his parents died over: some chocolate cake
