    Summary

    Grandpa Bobbie and his daemon Alba, who died before Robert was born, settled as a bobcat. Not the biggest daemon, but big enough one’d have to start considering the size of spaces when it came to their daemon. Dad and his daemon Solas settled as doberman. To a young kid, this was setting a pattern of bigger and bigger forms as the Robertson legacy continued.

    Robert and Valda rarely ever went small. They did cheetah, tiger, lion, crocodile. All sorts of breeds of huge dogs. Wolves. Predators and hunters, animals befitting a hero who would protect people and hunt down villains.

    Summary

    Klunk is looking intently at their hands, lifting Mikey's now to examine it the way he had done with hers. When she finally looks up at him, Mikey smiles at her. Klunk meets his gaze steadily, her eyes flicking back and forth across his face.

    Then she smiles.

    A big smile, not something small or shy.

    It's like a beam of sunlight shining right into his heart. And then Klunk smacks Mikey in the face, the exact same way she always does when she's trying to get him to laugh, and it works, startling one out of him around the tightness in his throat. He hears Draxum mutter, "Ugh. Repulsive," and turns to watch the goat-man stomp out of the room. Well, Mikey doesn't care what he thinks. He doesn't care what any of them think. How could he give her away, just because she's different now? Just because it might make things harder? How could he give her to people he doesn't even know, and just hope that they take care of her and treat her right?

    Even if someone else would, he'd regret it for the rest of his life.

    Mikey's a No Regrets kind of guy.

    Summary

    Mikey closed his eyes and focused on his other senses. He smelled sulfur, felt animal fur with his hand, heard birds singing outside and tasted his salty tears in his mouth. He thought back to the days when everything was fine between him and his brothers. Before the accident, when Donnie proudly performed acrobatic tricks with him. He would love to have this again, just one more time.
    Is Mikey really asking too much when he tells others he'd like to go back to the way things were?
