Thinking again about the Modern AU for the Gang where they run a queer anarchist coffee shop. Particularly about the subject of any of them having kids.
As I’ve mentioned to one or two people in DMs I’d been imagining them childless as they grow older but I did realize a few of them would get involved in mentoring or big brother/sister style programs. Mentoring programs would be a good fit for Kali, Mick, and Funshine especially.
I’m still undecided on if Kali would want kids (I think she is too). Perhaps she never decides or maybe something forces her hand (a pregnancy scare or the like) and she suddenly comes up with an answer. Even then, maybe it never happens.
I know for sure Funshine looks into whether or not fostering is a possibility. He unfortunately has extra hoops to jump through due to his unique family/living situation, what with being an openly queer activist/political dissident living with a found family of four other very openly queer activists/political dissidents. Them all owning their own business does help a little though.
Mick and Dottie make a go of it. Mick is the one to carry the baby because her and Dottie both know how bad a forced hospital stay could be for Dottie’s medical trauma. Dottie makes an effort to be there holding Mick’s hand at every doctor’s appointment, and they kiss and tell each other it was all worth it when they get to hold the baby together.
Axel never has kids. He’s too terrified of being unable to properly look after them like he was with his sister, but he becomes a fantastic uncle to the rest of the polycule’s children.
They make for an interesting family unit, in their apartment above the coffee shop. And raising kids in Toronto can’t be cheap, but they’ve arguably done more with less. Either way, those children are going to be the bitchin’est kids on the block.
