The atmosphere. Since they live in a tough neighborhood, setting the right atmosphere is crucial. If the fanfiction can make you feel the grittiness of their world, the tension in the air, and how that affects their relationship, it will be a great piece of fanfiction.
One great ponyboy and sodapop fanfiction is 'The Brothers' Bond'. It delves deep into their relationship, showing how they support each other through tough times in the rough neighborhood they live in. The author really captures their personalities well.
Sodapop could also try to tend to Ponyboy's injuries himself if they seem minor at first. He'd probably be full of worry and keep asking Ponyboy what happened. Maybe it was a fight with the Socs or an accident. Sodapop would be desperate to make sure Ponyboy is okay, and his protective instincts would kick in big time.
One popular ponyboy x sodapop fanfiction is 'Our Little World'. It beautifully captures their relationship in a coming - of - age story set in their hometown. The characters are well - written and it really delves into their bond.
Sodapop would also be angry. Angry at whoever or whatever caused Ponyboy to be hurt. If it was another person, he'd be ready to confront them. His love for Ponyboy makes him very protective, and this would show in his emotional response.
One possible plotline could be that Ponyboy and Sodapop get caught in a sudden storm while out in the open. They're both scared as lightning strikes close by. They huddle together in an abandoned building, sharing their fears and memories from their tough lives. This situation could strengthen their bond and lead to some deep conversations about their dreams and hopes for the future.
One plot idea could be that Sodapop and Ponyboy go on a road trip together. They face various challenges on the road, like car troubles and meeting some interesting characters. This would allow for a lot of character development and some really sweet moments between them as they rely on each other.
To realistically portray their relationship, show their brotherly love with small gestures. For example, Sodapop sharing his last bit of food with Ponyboy or Ponyboy staying up to wait for Sodapop to come home from work. These little things build a strong bond.
Their relationship can develop through shared fear. For example, if they are in a situation where they are afraid of getting caught by the police unjustly. They'll have to trust each other completely. Sodapop might use his street - smart skills to find a hiding place, and Ponyboy could use his wits to come up with a plan to prove their innocence. This would make them rely on each other more and deepen their bond.
