   Summary

   It was supposed to be fine. It was supposed to be like any other day.

   There was a loud cracking sound, and Court was out of bed like a shot.

   They didn’t live in the best neighborhood, and occasionally their father would pay the bills on time, so they would have a few hours of television time.

   Courtland knew what a gunshot sounded like.

   ---

   Or, an incredibly self-indulgent fic where no one goes to jail and everyone gets to heal. Eventually.
