    Summary

    It’s a sound you never forget, once you hear it…the sound of a tornado, right next to you. It’s enough to paralyze your body with fear.

    When a tornado rips through the town of Tulsa…the gang must fight for survival.

    “It’s just a storm” everyone kept saying. But they were wrong, oh they were so wrong.

    It’s only been five months since the Curtises lost their parents - that family is barely holding on by a thread as is. Will everyone be able to find their way back to each other in one piece? Or will tragedy strike again - leaving these boys more broken than ever?

    Summary

    Steve: y'all heard that

    Ace: probably the banshees

    Steve: again with this??

    Darry: wait shut up I heard it too
    Darry: that sound like ponyboy to yall??

    Steve: yeah :/
    Steve: i'd be more excited if he didn't sound so scared 😒

    Or: spec rewrites the outsiders by s.e. Hinton but if ponyboy had access to Tumblr and Dallas had twitter and the gang had a gc. oh also please read the opening notes

    Or or: i learned html and wanted to try it out. why not try it out on the outsiders? html is not like a regular chat fic, on account of i have worked hard to ensure that the chats looks like actual imessage messaging as well making it appear as actual twitter and tumblr posts! still confused? curious?? take a look around!
