Part 29 - ?

"You Know I'm Not (like) Your Father" by @rcvenly on AO3

And there, Phillip's voice echoed in his head:“When you lose a child, you… you see him everywhere, in all the people he could have become, in all the lives he could have lived. It’s something you can never recover from, someone who can never be replaced!"

Because that was the point, wasn't it?

Buck didn't know how to be a son because he was never anyone's baby; just a reminder of what his parents had lost.

He knew that, but what scratched the walls of his brain was the annoying thought that crept under his skin and whispered the fateful question: did Bobby also see him as nothing more than what his kids could have been?

Or, If being someone's son meant living as a fallback, Buck was destined to die in someone else's shadow.

Bobby won't allow that.

Holy shit I cried so much for this one. I love them so much, and I love this story so much. I think I'll always love their dynamic more than anyone else's. Parent-child dynamics or even siblings always hit me harder than the romantic ones. There's something so special and heartbreaking about founded family, about the family you choose. (I'll probably always bawl my eyes out about Bobby in the same way I can't watch THE Joel scene in tlof2 and always skip it. Sue me. Bobby and Joel are THE Dads) (I also want to point out, this is the second adoptee father named Bobby who dies on me. It's weird it happened twice)

"I miss him." -me, every day, about Bobby Nash

[rcvenly]

the reason why i like so much the trope where a grumpy mid age takes a kid under his wing and would do anything to protect them it's probably 'cause my father was never really there. He never said he loved me, he never said he was proud. I'd barely see him, just at dinner. He continues to do it and he only talks to me to tell me what to do like take a shower or taking out the dog.

The fact that someone voluntarily takes care of a kid, even if they aren't their biologically or adopted kid, warms my heart. The fact that a man, who is usually rude to everyone, has a soft side with a kid it's just so sweet to me.

The fact that they choose to be somebody's father figure and not being in their life just because they have to makes my almost cry.

back again at this because buck and bobby are now my favourite found father trope example. they are my family you don't understand. wdym buck saved bobby and gave him a reason to live. wdym bobby was the first person to ever see him and love him for who he was aside from maddie. wdym bobby wouldn't survive losing him. wdym buck doesn't know who he is without bobby. wdym mom brought two kids into the marriage you brought one

Love when I’m reading a paper and they cite something I’ve already read. Nice to see you there again Keith Basso.

Every time Tim says the word "realistic", I remember how his excuse for killing off Bobby was that it was realistic despite the fact that how Bobby died was not realistic at all. He's ruined the word for me.

No ghost Bobby because Bobby isn't dead

[rcvenly]

the best thing about bobby being in a lab theory is that the more time passes, the more the angst would eat this plot up when he finally reunites with his family, so YES I'll keep saying bobby nash is alive
