Summary
Pharmakon, φάρμακον, the Greek word that means both “poison” and “cure,” but, because of the limitations of the English language, can only be translated one way or the other depending on the context and the translator’s whims.
Ponyboy presented early, at thirteen. The doctor tells him that he won't be able to have children. He believes that for years — until a weekend in March of 1971.

Summary
The Summer of 1966 is different from the last summer that Ponyboy had. His parents have been dead for over a year now, he's secretly married to Dallas Winston, hippies have replaced Socs, the packs are starting to shift after the death of the head of the Tiber Street Tigers, and he sees Angela Shepard more than just the Shepard he doesn't know very well. And once July turns to August, Cathy Carlson enters his life as he starts the 11th grade at Will Rogers.
Right around the corner is he anniversary of Bob Sheldon's death and Ponyboy isn't sure he knows how to handle that. Or any of the changing landscape of Tulsa.
The sequel to "fire in the sky", and a reimagining of "that was then, this is now."

Summary
"Ponyboy," is the reply, as he turns around, making his way back up the steps. On his back is another tattoo, of the Virgin Mary and Child, in bold black and red. "If you're lucky, you can ask Charlie about the Christmas special. Until then, you might wanna get out of here." A warm smile spreads on his face, and fuck does Dallas' teeth ache to sink into his neck at the sight of how crooked and sharp his teeth look, "Something tells me that if anyone 'cept me sees you, you'll get in some trouble. Twenty is almost old enough to drink but not quite."
Correcting Ponyboy about his age doesn't matter when he winks at Dallas.
It's the fact he winked at all.
What does mutual, all-consuming obsession between two people look like? Ponyboy and Dallas set out to answer the question with a camera, a canvas, and a decades between them.

Summary
Ponyboy was in his head again—distant.
Then one night, he came into the living room, sheepish and nervous, and asked if he could go out Friday night.
“Who with?” Darry asked carefully.
“Cathy Carlson.”
The same girl who’d turned him down once before.
---
OR, Pony asks his brothers if he can go out with Cathy Carlson—the girl who once rejected him. They’re hesitant, but they say yes. Soda and Darry help him get ready, tease him, support him, and wait up late just to see the look on his face when he gets home.
