    Summary

    Two-Bit called him Superman as a joke but Darry really was the hero - just the Clark Kent side, living as a normal man with a normal job. After all, if someone who gave up every single one of his dreams for his brothers isn’t a hero, then what claim does the real Superman have to it?


    In the soaring heat of a Tulsa summer, Darry's struggling to keep his head above water. And it's just another rip current dragging him down when a migraine strikes. His brothers toss a lifeline and he lets himself trust they will keep him afloat.

    Summary

    “The Curtis’ are lovely people, I promise you. I went to high school with them. They have two kids of their own, thirteen and ten, respectively. I reckon you’ll get along with them just fine.”

    “Why’re they takin’ me if they already got kids?”

    Catherine smiled at him through the rear view mirror. “I guess you’ll have to ask them, hm?”

    Darrel grumbled, crossing his arms and sinking down into his seat.

    “Darrel, stop it,” She demanded. “They’re a nice family with sweet kids. You need to try to get along with them, that’s all I’m asking. Even if it’s just for a year until you age out.”

    One more year.

    ////

    Or, after years of being bounced from house to house, Darrel Shaynne is finally getting his forever home. Or, well, the final home they’ll let him stay in. Darry doesn’t know who these Curtis’ are, but every interaction with them makes his head spin. His world tossed upside down in one afternoon.

    Summary

    So. Martin isn't expecting anything to happen. But then, one day, something...does happen. It happens when Martin is passing Jon in the hall, and stops to ask how he’s doing, because Jon always looks a little bit like hell these days, and it makes Martin feel like he has to do something, and useless small talk is pretty much all he can do, so that’s what he does. And instead of grunting or shrugging or mumbling something dismissive, Jon replies, with perfect, involuntary clarity, "Every part of me aches, and I would just about kill to have someone rub my shoulders right now."

    There's a positively deafening silence as they both come to grips with this unprecedented turn of events. Then they both start talking at once.

    "Ah," says Jon.

    "Wow," says Martin, at the same time.
