Author: thedaytheystop
Challenge: Family
Word Count: 3500+
Rating: hard R
Summary: AU from the Return, Part I. John moves on, and remembers. "After a while—he thinks it’s been a year, maybe more, since he entered Daren by bribing a naïve, curious guard with a story of life beyond the ancestor’s ring—he notices that he’s beginning to look like them, the Darenese."
"He that raises a large family does, indeed, while he lives to observe them, stand a broader mark for sorrow; but then he stands a broader mark for pleasure too."
Benjamin Franklin
