Description:

“He wasn’t supposed to raise a kid. But maybe he was always meant to be someone’s safe place.”

—

When Rodrick Heflfley starts to notice that one of his little brothers is slowly fading into the background, he can’t ignore it anymore.
Greg, barely two, already knows how to feed himself, climb into bed alone, and stay quiet when no one listens.
Manny gets the smiles. Greg gets the silence.

So Rodrick decides to do something about it - to be the one person Greg can run to, hold onto, laugh with.

With Drew, Bill, and Nate by his side, Rodrick learns that family isn’t made by rules or parents, but by the people who stay.

(Inspired by “Dysfunctional Perspective“ (by @MoonSXG1) but a completely original AU. In this universe, Frank doesn’t exist, Susan hides behind her perfect-family mask, and Greg and Manny are twins (non-identical) - one golden, one forgotten. Rodrick becomes both brother and guardian, raising Greg with a messy mix of love, noise, and stubborn devotion.)

„It’s not about perfection. It’s about love that chooses to stay.“

Notes:

This series will jump through time: sometimes Greg is one and a half, sometimes three, maybe older. Each chapter is a snapshot — a messy, heartfelt moment in a not-so-perfect family.
