Summary
“Richard,” said Francis, as we were halfway across the lawn adjacent to the parking lot.
“Yeah?”
He stopped, and I did too, suddenly a little afraid of what he was going to say next. He took a breath, tapping an unlit cigarette against his leg.
“Stay with me.”
—
Francis's compulsions rapidly worsen after Bunny's death. Richard is the only person who recognizes them for what they are.

Summary
“Fuck off, Curly!”
Curly has been told to fuck off a lot in his life. In fact, he’d even say he’s been told to fuck off by Ponyboy a lot in his life- but until now Ponyboy’s never meant it. Not really.
Now though, with his dreamy eyes blazing and his hands curled into fists it’s clear that Pony means it and Curly has well and truly fucked everything up. Tim was right- he really does ruin everything.
“Pony-”
He’s cut off when Pony takes a swing at him, and just barely manages to duck out of the way. It’s a testament to how much he likes Ponyboy and how sorry he is that he doesn't swing back.

Summary
"He didn't know how Ponyboy did this. Soda was most fluent in the language of things that couldn't be captured by his clumsy attempts at words on paper—he expressed himself by hugging his little brother and running a hand through his hair, by making him laugh and laughing in return. Soda wished, suddenly and nonsensically, that Pony was there to show him what to do, to tell him what to say. But that was the problem, wasn't it? The only person who could help him write a letter to Ponyboy was Ponyboy."
Or, the five days that Ponyboy and Johnny were in Windrixville, according to Soda.

Summary
Wilbur looked at Tommy, scared and looking just a bit smaller than moments before, and realized he missed him so fucking much.
He grabbed the carton beside him and flipped it open. There was one last cigarette inside. Before he could think, he held it out towards Tommy. “Do you want to try?”
Objectively, this wasn’t that bad. He’d gotten Tommy to produce and sell drugs with him before. They were far past the tacit laws of what a minor could or couldn’t do that existed in a world that was now out of touch.
That said, Tommy had boundaries. Wilbur should’ve anticipated how bad of a look this was for him, yet still found himself startled when Tommy recoiled with a, “What the fuck!? Eugh, no!”
Wilbur wants to smoke with Tommy, just once, for the sake of bonding or proving a point or something or other. Tommy, unfortunately, is very reluctant to the idea.
Or, how Wilbur Soot started smoking again.

Summary
“It’s raining, Tech,” Tommy says again because he doesn’t get it and Tommy can’t understand what there is to get. “I like the rain.” Techno listens and Tommy stumbles closer, letting his brother catch him by his forearms. “I forgot I could feel like this,” he says, half laughing and half crying. “I forgot I liked the rain. I forgot I liked the rain, Technoblade. How could I forget this?”
Crimson eyes flick over Tommy’s face, searching for something, and Tommy can’t tell if he found it or didn’t with the way his grip just ever so slightly tightens. He tugs gently, frowning again, and glancing around the ruins-turned-garden he found Tommy in. “Alright, you’re gonna make yourself sick, come on, I’ll get you wherever you were going.”
or the one that's about recovery before anything else

Summary
The royal family of Antarctic empire isn’t exactly close.
Emperor Philza is always occupied; Tommy hasn’t seen Techno in months, and even if Wilbur is here, their relationship can be described to be strained at best.
The royal family doesn’t need to be close, however, it only needs to be balanced, like the pillars holding the country above their heads – as long as they are strong and steady, the Empire will be too. It’s the principle that held Tommy’s back straight and his shoulders broad through the years of hardships and trials of errors; through yet another formal meeting where his father’s gaze would look past him and where his brother’s words would be filled with poison that makes the deepest parts of his soul ache.
At that time, Tommy couldn't know that his family would find a replacement for him in the face of a commoner boy named Ranboo.
~🦋~
Tommy's family has replaced him. It's only fair that he gets to do the same.

Summary
Rachel could’ve seen the signs, she should’ve noticed something was wrong the moment she detected it. But everything seemed so normal, she wanted things to appear as normal. She walked in each hall, hand interlocked with hand, smiles plastered on their faces, everything was normal.
But it wasn’t, normal.
Lips interlocked with another pair, time spent with another. She couldn’t tell anyone, not when she did her best to make everything seem so normal. She watched him drift away into another man’s arms, she watched as his demeanor switched almost instantly, she watched him become another person for that person.
She couldn’t even sob no matter how hard she tried, when he passed away with that other person, she looked at the burnt crosses as small tears fell from her face, dropping the single flower in her hand in the middle, where he and that person laid.
