Summary
Lloyd's partway through growing up in the suburban town of Thanksgiving.
He doesn't have friends. The other kids at Twinkle Elementary bully him, and he's perfectly content to devote all of his free time to studying science instead.
That resolution crashes and burns like a failed rocket when a skinny kid in a bandana declares their friendship and then drags him further from home than he ever thought he'd go.
Somewhere along the way, Lloyd learns a few things about friendship, family, and the different forms love takes.- Words:

Bookmark Notes:
One of the best M1 retellings I've read. The child protagonists sound their age, and despite the plot following canon, the way events are framed feel character driven. Hope to write as well as this writer one day.

Summary
Ninten has been wearing the “Mr. Leader” mask for a long time.
He’s been told to keep leading. To protect. To be brave. To not show emotion.
But what if Ninten is tired? What if he’s tired of keeping it all to himself? Tired of performing? Masking?
That’s where it all goes down from here.
> Set between during and after the events of Earthbound Beginnings.

At the age of thirty-three, the Masked Man, lead commander in the army received a letter informing him that someone had news about who he was, his origins, and wanted to tell him about The Boy Named Lucas, whom he killed years ago. In a world where resistance forces were few and far between, and with his interest piqued, he opted to investigate, only to discover the painful truth of his origins before the military took him in.

Bookmark Notes:
Extremely underrated. The only mother series fic that has made me cry (so far). Though incomplete, this remains one of my favorite character studies of Claus, with beautifully-written emotional beats.
