Heartstrings

Fandom: the Adventure Zone

Tags: canon divergence, team as family, blupjeans baby Angus, angst with a happy ending

Summary: Taako was not one for kids, holy shit no. Lup and Barry were different from him though. They were responsible and in love and if anyone deserved to have a happily ever after with a family it was fucking them. So of course he supported their decision. They were his family, and now this kid was too.

---

There's a little half-elf kid on the train, in a fancy suit with a fancy hat and a fancy voice. Taako doesn't pay him much mind at first, he's not one for kids after all.

Fuck though, if something about him doesn't pull at heartstrings that Taako hadn't even realize were still there.
