@NeverABastard @powrlvrmother @madammayortoyou @OfHeartAndDark @StillHerBastard @unfrozenheart And she missed it. Perhaps she thinks I don’t care. But, -you- know better than that, don’t you, Cora? You understand?

@NeverABastard @powrlvrmother @madammayortoyou @OfHeartAndDark @StillHerBastard @unfrozenheart I wish I could be what she needs. *fiddles with my wedding ring* I’m a bit of a disappointment as far as fathers go, but she missed -so- much of my grief. I was a wreck for what felt like eons. It wasn’t that. I’ve healed enough to have it not be that again. But, it still hurt.-

*my life turns into a blur of lies and smiles and silence, and I do my best to reserve my pain for the safety of my apartment. I do my job well, and I pay my rent, but otherwise, I let life slide by me. But when the winter solstice comes, the day of greatest darkness, I call in—

@NeverABastard @powrlvrmother @madammayortoyou @OfHeartAndDark @StillHerBastard @unfrozenheart I don’t know what to tell you. I don’t think we can make this better. We can try to make this family work better, but…I don’t think we can make it whole the way you want. No matter how much magic you throw at it. Can’t we just…try to enjoy the time we have?

@powrlvrmother @madammayortoyou @OfHeartAndDark @StillHerBastard @HookHandedDevil @unfrozenheart You don’t know me. *It’s childish, but it feels like everyone is giving up. I need to fight for something, even if it’s a losing battle* You don’t get to tell me what to do when you weren’t there. *looks to my father* Either of you. I’m not giving up.

@powrlvrmother @NeverABastard @madammayortoyou @OfHeartAndDark @StillHerBastard @unfrozenheart her own person. And all kinds of stubborn.

@powrlvrmother @NeverABastard @madammayortoyou @OfHeartAndDark @StillHerBastard @unfrozenheart *my eyes hold contact and the smile I offer is slightly less frustrated* I never expected a child to be so much like me without even having spent time around me. It always surprises me… There’s still bits of you in there, too. But, she’s an awful lot of pure Imogen. Truly-

@madammayortoyou @NeverABastard @OfHeartAndDark @powrlvrmother @StillHerBastard @unfrozenheart it now… Sorry if I haven’t been a fantastic father for everyone, but I’ve been trying. I don’t think this family is as fractured as it seems to be, though. I think people are just afraid to heal…with someone so important gone.

@madammayortoyou @NeverABastard @OfHeartAndDark @powrlvrmother @StillHerBastard @unfrozenheart I didn’t expect to be called that… Right. That’s fine, by the way. That’s good. Hugs, scoldings, I might have to sneak in a bit of scolding because whatever magic this is can’t have been safe to try, but I’m certain you’ve already been scolded on that. So, I won’t waste time on-

@powrlvrmother @madammayortoyou @OfHeartAndDark @NeverABastard @StillHerBastard @unfrozenheart You look good. *saying that, I realize that I must look good, too, that despite the hell that followed losing you, I picked myself back up- with help- and kept moving forward one step at a time* Eh, so what do we need to do here exactly?

@HookHandedDevil @madammayortoyou @OfHeartAndDark @NeverABastard @StillHerBastard @unfrozenheart *gives you a tight smile* Only one of us is allowed to be gone at a time. After all the time you lost, it’s your turn to manage the children. I’m just here to bring a little peace, if I can.

@madammayortoyou @powrlvrmother @OfHeartAndDark @NeverABastard @StillHerBastard @unfrozenheart Cora… I really thought I’d be…dead the next time I saw you. If I managed to- I’m glad it’s sooner, at any rate. I hope this is coming out right.

@powrlvrmother @HookHandedDevil @OfHeartAndDark @NeverABastard @StillHerBastard @unfrozenheart *Mama's words of absolution help some. Without thought, I move to sit by Sam. My need to keep the peace returns full strength, and Sam deserves his second chance like the rest of us. I briefly wonder what Mal is feeling right now, and make a point to check in on her later.*

@OfHeartAndDark @NeverABastard @powrlvrmother @madammayortoyou @StillHerBastard @unfrozenheart Imogen. Good. You really do live here, then? *steps inside cautiously* Am I late? Is this really…

@NeverABastard @powrlvrmother @HookHandedDevil @madammayortoyou @StillHerBastard @unfrozenheart *There’s a sudden urge to be literally anywhere else right now, but I force myself to stay put. I don’t think I’d get very far anyway*

@powrlvrmother @madammayortoyou @StillHerBastard @NeverABastard @OfHeartAndDark @unfrozenheart Gold’s properties. Fantastic. I go to the proper number and freeze at the doorstep. One, two, three beats… And then, I knock. This, this is what I hoped for, wasn’t it? A chance to see her again. It feels like it’s been so long*

@powrlvrmother @madammayortoyou @StillHerBastard @NeverABastard @OfHeartAndDark @unfrozenheart *I almost think the text is a lie. But, the thought of my daughter telling such a lie simply doesn’t make sense. If nothing else, I now know where she lives and after giving Mal a rushed explanation of where I’m off to, I make a dash for the address listed. Looks like one of-

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary Bloody insane.

@HisBloodyDemon @unfrozenheart Ho ho whooooore. *affectionate*

@unfrozenheart @HookHandedDevil I slide over to her with a mischievous glint in my eyes and a faint smirk on my lips and wrap my arm over her shoulders. "Oh, don't be like that."

This aged wonderfully, @HookHandedDevil (ft. @HisBloodyDemon)

Happy birthday, @NeverABastard. My one and only on purpose child.

Let-down isn’t the word I’d use.

-We- let her.

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! #MyTwitterAnniversary Oh. That is a long time. (I’m a day late to this, but still)

…Damn.
