    Summary

    This…this was different, though, than most of the other leads he’d followed.
    His mother, or Peter, or even his own idealized planning and endless expectations.
    There was kindness in this, leaking out through every crack in the faux stoicism. There was a softness, a care, that he’d only ever seen the edges of, up until the night before the Unknowing. Here, now, it was on full display, just barely sheened over with the resolute determination Jon always took on when he had his mind set to something. For now, leading them. Home.
    Home.
    Hm.
    It struck him, not for the first time - he’d…he’d probably follow Jon anywhere, actually, with no questions asked. Probably wouldn’t even bitch about it too, too much. Ha.
    Maybe he’d ask questions later, sure, once their breathing calmed and the running had stopped, but…he’d follow. Without a doubt.
    …Case in point.

    OR

    Jon and Martin escape the Lonely. Martin...doesn't quite remember what happened, immediately following. Jon needs to explain it to him, in all the gory, heartbreaking, emotionally volatile details.

    Summary

    “Sure,” Georgie says, still laughing at him. At least someone is having fun. “Don’t you have assistants for that kind of thing?”

    “Yes, but…” He huffs, scratching the back of his neck. “I wasn’t going to ask one of them to download an app called...Lover? Lov-rrr? I don’t know how you say it.” He flaps his hands dismissively. “There are--unions and such. It wouldn’t be appropriate.”

    Summary

    Peter and Elias adopt a fifteen-year-old Martin. It goes as well as you’d expect.


    It sounds like he’s reading from a brochure, Martin thinks fleetingly, vaguely amused. These men – his new parents – do not seem like they know what they are doing.

    “Peter,” Elias says dangerously. “Place in the family. Reaffirming.”

    (Taking a last long look at the employee contract in his hand, Martin sighs. “Dad is so going to divorce you for this” He signs the papers with a sense of inevitability.)

    Summary

    Peter adopts Martin as a child and Martin becomes part of the Lukas family. It is far from a perfect family and Peter far from a perfect father. But Martin's life turns much better than the one he has led before, not least thanks to his new cousin Evan, the family's black sheep.
    Together they grow up under the protective embrace of The Lonely as their paths will inevitably diverge and they both learn what it means to be a Lukas.
