#HISTORY lore! bear is sooo isolated in the first few fics of this 'verse than in any other of my fics

[introspectivememories]

How do Bernard and Tim meet for the secret married fic? 

the answer is kinda boring but the same way they do in canon.

the shooting still happens and i'm still deciding on whether he falls into the cult. but in this verse, henry aquista lives albeit with an incredibly down-sized territory and he offers bear a place in the gang bc he wants to take care of someone darls loved and this is the only way he knows how. everything happens like canon and bear is still lost and adrift after the shooting and you know what the military does to children who are lost and adrift. bear joins the military a mere two weeks before tim texts him for the first time in 5 years.

i just couldn't come up with another meeting for them. like what else is there to say about them? we were friends and now we're not. we went through something traumatic and now we're not close anymore. i don't know you anymore. it feels like i loved you more than you loved me. i had all and then most of you, some and now none of you, oh take me back to the night we met.

thanks for the ask! <33333
