My new fic shows Curly Shepard as someone who nurtured and protected Angela, not as some dumb hood. Tim Sheparrd is now a Tulsa racketeer.,.................................................."Curly always looked out for me when I was little you know. Because mom and dad, sometimes they would get drunk or forget to feed us. But Curly, he’d make sure I got into a safe place when they were fighting. We'd hide under the bed and he would hold me. He’d make me something to eat when we hadn’t had dinner the night before. He’d help me find clean clothes and walk me to school. And he was just a kid himself. Tim was alright, but as soon as he was old enough, he was out of the house as much as he could, so he wasn’t there much. But if Curly hadn’t been around, hell, Ponyboy, I might not even be here talking to you right now. " ....................................... https://archiveofourown.org/works/86737421
