I see many AUs where Darrel is left behind by the rest of the gang.
But what if we did that with Two-Bit? Never moving forward, never being able to hold a job. He watches the others outgrow him. The only constant? Not the gang, they've long moved on and moved away. No, the only constant is alcohol. Everyone else has jobs; everyone has a life, but Two-Bit never could grow up. Avoidance was something he was good at. He was his father's son after all.
