Fics like i'll take my chances on the curb here with you

in one universe, steve is the one who picks up the phone. he hands it to darry, and they are late by seconds to find dallas. they see him gutted with bullets, and he dies without a word. in another universe, steve picks up the phone again. he hands it to darry. they are late, but dallas dies, saying ponyboy's name, dying on the pavement before them. in a third universe, it is ponyboy who picks up the phone. dallas breathes out his name, and every single part of ponyboy flares to life as dallas says, "darry?" an alternate ending (with some abo dynamics thrown in for spice.)
