   Summary

   This is a POV Darry fic (third-person) of the events of The Outsiders. If you haven't, I'd highly recommend reading my prequel, Unreliable, first, to get a full scope!

   Based on the novel, with original dialogue. This will also delve into past memories through the years of the Curtis brothers.

   Summary

   This is the events of The Outsiders, pre-book, from the perspective of Darry. I LOVE Ponyboy with all my heart, but he is a bit of an unreliable narrator. This is all of the things he didn't see, the conversations he wasn't a part of, the reason for his misunderstanding of his big brother.
