Mickey + His Ever Growing List Of Names For Ian

y'all remember the book that a lot of people read in school about some dude getting sent to detention camp where they had to dig holes all day? holes by louis sachar? remember the universe where the curtis gang are actually the curtis brothers? i might have an idea...

I’ve been trying to be chill about this but Jeff goldblum singing in no one mourns the wicked makes me feel some sorta way like that part is on repeat. just hear me out on this one.

curtis brothers au hcs but it's when pony was born

darry was six years old and already had five little brothers so he knew he was ready for a sixth

at first he didn't like it, but he grew to love his brother and being an older brother when his first baby brother, keith, was born.

so you can imagine the excitement for dally

and then the extreme excitement for twins

and then another one

darry practically had a mini army

but the army wasn't very useful when the three youngest were in a stroller, dally was all shy, and keith was always bored so he always made it darrys problem

just like when he was sitting in the waiting room with his siblings and his uncle as they waited for their dad to come get them

keith was poking him and trying to get him to play

dally was in the seat on the other side of keith, also waiting quietly which was really good for a kid his age.

and their uncle was trying to entertain steve, soda, and johnny in the stroller so they wouldn't start crying again

which really was starting to annoy little darry

he loved them but the kid was stressing cause theres gonna be another onee

once their dad came out, darry practically jumped out of his seat and grabbed the hands of his two younger brothers to walk to their mama

and uncle jeff pushed the stroller

darry didn't have a hold on dally for too long before the latter ran to their dad for "uppies"

grabby arms and all

keith however was running his toy car up and down darry's arm

darry let it slide

what darry didn't let slide was the extra babbling from sodapop

the kid was overdoing it

so yk what darry did?

he side eyed him

yeah thats right

but eventually they made it to their mama's room

they went closer

darry peaked over and saw his mama smiling

and in her arms was the smallest baby he had ever seen

he hadn't remembered even lil johnny being that small

dally was still being held by their dad before peaking over and then hiding back in his dad's chest

eventually little dally looked back and smiled

"baby!"

keith was overjoyed as he held out the car to the baby, who was still asleep in their mama's arms, seemingly rejected when the boy hadn't woke up and suddenly started playing with him

their mama had to explain

"haven't seen last of me, baby!"

their mama had smiled at the boys, the ones that weren't now asleep in the stroller

their parents steadied them as they held their littlest brother for the first time

their parents watched as they saw the joy in their eyes at the small baby

once the baby went back to their mama and their dad, they had questions to ask

darry looked up to his beaming mama. she looked tired but also as happy as she was everytime she got to hold one of her precious children for the first time.

"what's his name, mama?"

little darry had asked

"his name is ponyboy"

ok so im gonna need all y'all to tell me if you'd be interested in an outsiders fanfic but everyone in the gang is actually related like they all grow up together. like they're the curtis gang cause they're curtises.

i wouldnt change much about them personality wise (or looks) but it'd be an interesting dynamic to explore within them all and how they're relationships would be similar or different if they're LITERAL brothers

Yap yap yip yap
