rusty-james making it out all the way out to the ocean and winding up being the roommate of ponyboy who writes underground comic books when he isn't teaching classes at a local community college and then they kiss under the moonlight

wait tell me more about rustypony

oh man i started a possession au (the last of a dying breed) where i was planning on having ponyboy return back to tulsa in the 1970s during the events of rumble fish. he would've accidentally woken up dallas' ghost by being back and dallas targets rusty for possession. the possession would've delved into omegaverse in a fun way — rusty was born a beta and thought of himself as straight and when dallas possessed him, he'd change to an alpha and realize he was actually bisexual.

specifically for ponyboy, who's an omega and older than him. it would've delved into dallas slowly possessing him and it would've had rusty james working with his ptsd, fear of being alone, and waking up to his bisexuality (dallas voice: ponysexual) over the course of the series. it would eventually even out to dal/rusty/pony in that hierarchical order. (including a hysterical fic planned where rusty asked pony to top out of curiosity and pony almost had an out of body reaction over this LMAO)

anyway i like the idea that two of se's opposite protags had something going on. particularly with how rusty worships the past and the gangs? he'd have built ponyboy up so far in his head and when ponyboy lives up to it? oh man i think he'd have a blast. i also was thinking it of pony having to come into contact with his own legacy and something about that is Appealing.

yeah yeah also matt dillon i know lol.

i plan to go back to it after someone on here bitched about rustypony being a thing awhile back.
