I see the canon fact of Rae taking care of Icarus's flock (even though he doesn't know exactly *why*) post-finale, and I hold it in my hands so gently and I love it so dearly
however, I raise you
One day Isla's out on a walk and she finds this flock of birds, they're scared, they look lost, potentially abandoned, they all have names, so they are potentially a product of the resets. One still has a sling on it's wing and she can't help but think back to her own baby bird. One that was probably so lost and so scared for so long. Pushed out of the nest before he was ready, left without the comfort of his Mama, falling so far without the nurture and care she provided. So she brings them food and treats and surprisingly, despite their seemingly recent abandonment, they gravitate towards her (because of course they do, Icarus may have always looked like Fable but no matter what happened, no matter how long it was, no matter what they did or who they became they would always be her hatchling). they end up following her around, trying their best to help her. She makes them a little home in her backyard, they seem insistent that it go in one particular spot on the hill. she ends up expanding as she finds more injured, sick, or lost birds. Eventually the size of the little aviary grows to a fully fledged sanctuary. There's a complete remodel to accommodate the needs of all the birds she finds over the years. There's a small plaque over the door, it reads:
"The Icarus Sanctuary, dedicated to the little bird I wasn't there to save"
