I have a silly little human AU where King and Colley are both homeschooled foster kids who meet up in the woods and have imaginary adventures Bridge To Terabithia style. Colley is trying to help King find his bio parents but really just wants to run away to go live at Miss Eda’s house with him.
They bond over their love of horror games and books and having no parents and wild imaginations. King gets to walk around wearing skirts and tights and bracelets and Colley is SO jealous. Colley has way more toys though.
They do not have a single shared social skill between them. Also this is S1 King in personality so it’s basically him bossing everyone around and Colley following him like a lost puppy. They’re 8 with attachment issues they’ll learn healthy friendship later
Alright, I've been fighting myself for the last few months about asking for this, but fuck it. There was a 92'sies fic called "There's Birds Everywhere and My Stomach Hurts (This is Hell)" by GodsHumbleClown. It was part of a whole series and I loved it more than anything. I went to search it up because it genuinely means the world to me and it's been deleted. I won't lie when I say I genuinely cried because it was SUCH a comfort read for me. Does anyone happen to have it downloaded because, again, I'm getting desperate to reread it and it means so much to me 😭
This is my last shot in the dark, a hail Mary if you will. If anyone has it saved, or any of its companion works, I'm not joking when I say I will love you forever 🙏

Hybrid au, fosters, male reader bc i want to
~
The boys were retired now but still looking for something meaningful to do with their life. Being hybrids, work wasn't exactly the most open for them, even small jobs.
So why not foster hybrid kids? Kids who they would make sure they didn't suffer in childhood like they had. Someone innocent they could help blossom in a good person.
Kyle was the one who proposed the idea. Being a big cat hybrid, he longed for kittens to look after. It just so happened that Ghost, a wolf hybrid, wanted pups to look after.
After the discussion, it sprung the want for cubs in Price and Johnny, a bear hybrid and hyena hybrid, respectively. They all wanted to help a young hybrid, someone they could dote on and help prosper.
So, they set to work setting up their house to foster standards and filling out a seemingly endless amount of paperwork. It was a long process, but they were nothing but patient. They all wanted this and on hard nights they'd use it as motivation to keep going. A chance to do good, one that wouldn't hurt anyone.
And you, who were their first placement. A young sheep hybrid. Horns that curled around your head and fleece that was matted down. You were so shy, especially around predator hybrids.
The first night was rough. You hid in your room the entire time. It was enough to send their instincts spiraling.
"Did we already scare the lad?" Johnny whinned, curling around Simon. Johnny's small tail tucked away.
"No, no," John soothed from his spot on the couch, a soft look in his eyes. "He's in a new place with new people, and we're predators in his brain."
Kyle made a chuffing sound, "we'll need to earn his trust, is all. That starts by making sure he knows he's safe here and we don't want to hurt him."
Simon hummed in agreement, hand running up and down Johnny's back. He didn't have anything to add, but he couldn't deny seeing the fear in your eyes set something off in him. It reminded him of his childhood and he was determined to give you better.
"I'll go tuck him in," John finally says, standing up. "Tomorrow we'll talk to him and help get him settled more."
But when John walks into your room, he finds you already curled up in the corner of your bed. Your small hands clutching the small plush you carried everywhere with you. He sighed softly at the sight. It causes your head to shoot up and lock eyes with him.
"Easy now, little lamb," Price chuffs softly, a reassuring sound, even to you. "Just here to tuck you in, alright?"
He waits for your small nod before moving closer. He picks up a blanket, a big beige one. It was soft and very new. John is so careful as he tucks it around your slim shoulders. You were so small.
"Tomorrow, we'll talk more, get you settled in more, hm?" John says kindly, smoothing the blanket out. You nod again. "Maybe go out and get you some new stuff? Or we'll stay in for a movie day."
You just watch him with your wide eyes. Your hair was matted down and John so desperately wanted to brush it out but he didn't dare push any boundaries. He'd make sure you'd get all cleaned up, tomorrow.
For the rest of the boys, tomorrow couldn't come soon enough.
They just had to be patient.
They could do that, right?
Something I love about the Outsiders fandom is how every single foster AU is just:
Darry: This is temporary, so don't get too attached, okay, Soda?
Soda: Yeah, sure

your foster pony + my foster pony = both going through it
does foster pony ever have a good time?
