Okay I h a v e to know-
What would Abe be like as an uncle?
Guess who's laptop died when xey were almost done writing this... sigh
Anyway
I think he'd be an uncle who pretends he doesn't love Uncle-ing but loves Uncle-ing.
He pretends he doesn't want anything to do with Heist and Yancy's crimes but subtly gives them advice on how to clean up the crime scenes. Illinois gets followed a lot during his expeditions so Abe lets him know some PI secrets and tricks and such.
When Space has a universe-shift or whatever I'm calling it (basically it's still That Space's Mind but like... the other universe bled through only for him so he's stuck obeying the laws of a different universe?) and it's Noir Universe, he and Abe spend some time working on cases and monologuing together.
Abe like Date because Date reminds him of Pre-WKM Actor (Abe says they knew each other for years but Mark said it was only a short while so I say um Fuck It I Do What I Want). It's not exactly the same, but it's comforting. Abe lets Date drag him to terrible plays (Date really has the worst taste in theatre) and just relaxes.
He also gives them various things to smoke (from small cigarettes to vape pens to whatever else) and when Dark finds out he's fucking pissed and Wilford of all people has to become a mediator.
