Beginning of a Winter story, per ClareDragonfly & @Inventrix's request

[aldersprig]

There were times when Winter thought his mother had chosen to have him first, to be there for the girls when their father died.

It wasn’t a possibility he ever talked about; Mom, who would know, he’d never ask. Other people would either think he was crazy for at least three facets of that thought, and the ones who wouldn’t, well, were either just as close to the situation as he was, or would have reactions to it he wouldn’t like.

Pre-planned or not, he had been the father figure to his sisters since he was seven years old and now, as an adult with his “daughters” grown up and out of the house, he found the habits hard to put aside. His nature, the way the strands of the world reacted to him, was either created by that situation or exacerbated it, and either way seemed to solidify it.

Well, she must have planned her kids to some extent, to give them the names she did!

Aww, Winter. He is the solid one, isn't he? Looking forward to more of this.

I like your icon!!

[clare_dragonfly]

Thank you! :D I have a lot of CM icons. That I get on Livejournal because CM fandom is tiny here.

[aldersprig]

Aaaw!

I have... no fandom icons. I don't have enough slots!!

I'm not sure I count as a fan of... well, anything, really.

[clare_dragonfly]

You need a paid account! ;) I only had a couple of fandom icons before I got my paid account.
