The majestic return of the complicated lore of Aircraft Siblings/StanLotte siblings AU. Complete with family trees.
Inspired by @okami-iris (yet again.)
The Bony-Snyders
Maternal Grandfather: Stephen Lance Snyder
The Father/Patriarch: William 'Bill' Ernest Bony
First Wife: Karen Snyder
Second Wife: Ava Bony
First Daughter Son: Estelle Margaret Bony Stanley Stephen Snyder
Second Daughter: Charlotte Virginia Bony
The Bony-Snyder family is a one huge dumpster fire someone keeps pouring gasoline into. There's a lot to unpack here. But FIRST!
Trigger warning for: infidelity, child neglect, and misogyny (although none is described graphically.)
Read those warnings above? Good.
William Bony and Karen Snyder were college sweethearts, while Ava D'arby was Karen's close friend. Despite the shaky, if not borderline dysfunctional nature of their relationship, neither of the pair seemed to look forward. Karen dislikes the possibility of her man having another woman, Bill simply thought that Karen is too dependent to function separate from him. Ava had an innocent crush on Bill, but wasn't brave enough to make a move on him.
Following 'romance' eventually leads to a disastrous marriage, and complicated family life. Unlike Karen, who had genuine love for their only daughter Stelle, Bill prefered to be neglectful, and eventually cheated on his wife, who ended up caughing him after the deed, along at that time three-year old Stelle.
The affair results a huge scandal, which results Karen one day packing her bags and vanishing out of the house for the rest of the time, until the news about her death reach the Bony household. William, not really saddened, proceeds to then marry and, three years later, have another daughter, Charlotte, with the woman he cheated on Karen with. Who was none other than Ava, now Bony.
Bill was more fond of Ava because of her spineless and submissive nature, as she would spend her time taking care of his needs, instead of raising the kids. Because of serious parental neglect, both Estelle and Charlotte ended up spending most of their childhood and teenage years under Stelle's grandfather Stephen's care. (P.S: They lived in the same god forgotten wasteland where little Xeno conducted his experiments. Y'all know what that means :3.)
Stephen was a caring man, and tried giving the children attention they need despite being a busy man. His strong-willed nature had a lot of positive influence on then-Estelle, and arguably what pushed her to adapt more masculine mannerism, and eventually, following a successful transition, become a man known as Stanley Snyder.
Stanley was a troublesome kid growing up. He inherited Karen's stubborn nature, which paired with being raised by Stephen, and being fed up with Bill's misogynistic remarks, created a deadly combination. Stanley at one point cut off ties with his parents (and by stretch, Charlotte), in order to pursue the career in the military.
Charlotte was favored by Bill more, as she was a little copy of Ava, and had a bit of the woman's submissive nature, although this didn't protect her from uncomfortable remarks because of her gender, but unlike Stanley, who was fueled by rage, Charlotte relied on toxic positivity to keep herself in check.
The siblings had to stick together a lot, because otherwise there was no one to rely on. Stanley quickly became the exhausted older brother, tired of the clingy little Charlotte, who saw him as the only beacon of hope in her dark world. The reason Charlotte even stepped into military was a strong desire to impress Stanley.
You don't understand, it kills me that when they didn't have time to properly think through the people on the motorcycle arrangements, Senku's first choice was to pair up with Gen (and Chelsea). Like the motorcycle that Senku is on is the one that's leading the rest. Chelsea is on it obviously because she's a geographer and they're on unfamiliar terrain. And while they're passing for the first time through this unfamiliar terrain, with people chasing after them (with weapons!!!!!), Senku's first choice was still Gen. When there are by the way MUCH more qualified drivers in the group, they quite literally have a professional driver😭 and STILL Senku was like actually I want to be with Gen. (And I'm saying Senku chose Gen to drive the motorcycle he's on, that's leading the rest because Gen sure as hell would not have volunterred for that). I will genuinely never be over this.
These parts amongst a million reasons why I love his eyes so much. They’re a window to his soul and are incredibly expressive. He could try to put on this stoic façade all day, but his eyes betray him in what he’s actually feeling. I think it’s a wonderful way to show that this hardened military man isn’t just some machine. He’s a person with feeling. Aaaah I love him and these little subtleties about him
I will forever headcanon Gen to hate Stanley and Xeno. Who wouldn't? He will forever have that hatred deep inside his heart. That will never leave, even after everything. He will never be able to look at Stanley and Xeno without getting reminded of the war.. Of what Suika had to go to.. everytime he closes his eyes he swears he sees Taiju, and the rest dying right in front of him.
"Please.. let them be okay..." Says the man who claimed to be the most superficial man on earth, The same person who said he'll choose the side whos winning. Yet his the same person who is worried, and stressed about the whole plan because he knows someone is bound to get hurt. He knows that his words will fall on deaf ears. He was useless in this war, he knows this. All he could do is worry and pray - pray to the same gods he turned his back to so he could follow a man who was so determined to get everyone back - that everyone will not be hurt. Yet even that fell on deaf ears.
I will never get over his character devolpment in the series. I love him so fucking much. He means so much to me I will start bawling my eyes out.

Twist is that the astronaut team took 2 years before they got back.
"You know I won't give up on you, right?" Senku asked. Silence filled the air as him and Asagiri leaned onto his arms, looking up at the sky as if it was the most beautiful sight he ever laid his eyes on.
"Unfortunately I do. You are as stubborn as an ule-may, Senku-chan." Gen said, finally speaking after what seemed to be 5 minutes. Senku laughed softly, taking his eyes off the sky to look at the man beside him.
"Well, it's true." Senku shrugged, the latter let his gaze fall to Senku. He looked at him before he snorted. "Of course it is. Never doubted you in the slightest." Gen moved closer and let himself fall onto Senku's chest.
Senku smiled and wrapped his arms around the man. "Now who the hell are you? What happened to the grumpy, sulking man I knew?" Senku asked teasingly as he reached out to grab Gen's hand, pressing a soft kiss on his knuckles.
Gen's eyes narrowed, looking at the man he once hated so much with loving eyes. "He eft-lay after you kicked him out~ Now his off to the world, wandering about. How ean-may of you to do that to a poor man, Senku-chan! What will he do now?"
"I'm sure he'll find people who will care for him as much as I care about you." Senku said as he kissed Gen's hair.
...
"You.. waited." Senku said as he stared at the man before him. His hair was longer, his clothes were different as well. The man before him could only smile before he walked up and hugged him.
"Of course I did.. you were able to be patient with me. It's only good that I return the favor." Gen murmured. He pulled back, cupping Senku's face. He smiled sweetly, pressing his forehead against Senku's.
"Plus. A bright man taught me to not give up on someone you love." Gen cooed, Senku laughed, covering Gen's hands over his own. "That's so cheesy man."
"Shut up. I waited for you. Be grateful." Gen grumbled before Senku kissed him. Gen sighed and closed his eyes. For once... Gen felt like he did something good in his life. For once he was grateful he went against his parent's and followed his heart. God he was so stupid to listen to them in the first place..
