Kintsugi

Summary:

A series of drabbles, very fluffy with a smidge of angst (flungst...) loosely linked to the things the collective Connor-Swains do, and how they grow together as a family and heal.

A chapter for each year the show has been running.

Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by joining pieces back together and filling cracks with lacquer with either powdered gold, silver, or platinum thereby highlighting the flaws in the repaired object.

Chapter 1

Chapter Text

It’s a thing. It's Carla's thing that is.

The force in which she always puts her keys down on the breakfast bar and now their kitchen island with as much force as possible.

Others may kick off their shoes when coming home or change into pyjamas, not Carla. It's her keys. The clanging echoing off all the hard surfaces. That reassuring noise alerting (summoning) everyone that she's home and needs a brew, a kiss, a hug, and a laugh, not necessarily in that order.
