#robert fankid

And I LOVE the way you wrote everything, the grief and all the love that Robert has for Liam (did it make me cry? for sure, but it was worth it)

Waaa, thank you!! I love Liam so much, he only existed in my head for a few days, but I absolutely adore him and Robert's little family dynamic

Like, that's his baby, his little buddy, he made him and raised him! He'd give the world for his son, and literally DID with all the treatments and care. Robert is 100% the best father he can possibly be, he's caring and gentle and patient, he's silly and fun, he's protective and determined, he's a safe space and makes Liam feel so comfortable with him, unlike how Robert felt around his dad. He's just, the best dad! (Even when Liam gets weaker and eventually passes in the first post, Robert still holds so much love for him. He visits his grave constantly to talk to his little boy, leaves little space themed toys in case his spirit's lingering and gets bored, tells him about how everyone loves him even if they never got to know him 😭)

Also, little bit of info I thought up for Liam, since you like this little au so much (I did mention some of this in the other two posts, but I'm still putting it here)-

He's legitimately a little clone of Robert, his Mom's genes didn't even try with him (and they shouldn't have). His hair's a little blonde compared to Robert's once it grows back, and it's kind of thicker and curlier after chemo, but other than that, he looks just like baby Robert. Same big brown puppy eyes, same freckles, same facial shape. Even the same ear chip! Although his was caused by less traumatic reasons. He'd fallen and gouged a hole in his ear when he was really little, and even though Robert rushed him to the emergency room the second it happened, he lost a chunk of it. Robert really beat himself up over it for a while, but Liam was pretty much unbothered

Liam is autistic, which makes it really difficult for him in the he lives au once he's out of the hospital, he's been there since he was three, he has no idea how to interact with the world. He hasn't been to public school (or had much schooling in general with his health), and being stuck in the hospital for almost his entire life at that point made it hard for him to socialize. He loves space and wants to know all about it, he wants to go to Pluto and feels bad for it because it's not considered a planet, he just wants to cheer it up :(

He's super attached to his dad, because other than doctors and nurses and maybe a few other kids, Robert was the only person he really saw in the hospital. Personal space? That doesn't exist. As far as he's concerned, nobody gives better hugs than his dad, although his dad's new boyfriends and girlfriends may just prove him wrong. . .

Robert adopted Beef as a way to cheer Liam up when he was in the hospital, and Liam named him Beef because he couldn't name him Pluto (he didn't want to steal the name), and Beef was pretty beefy already
