Fandom: Inception Prompts: Headline +2/Deliberately +1 Word Count: 175 Total Points: 10 A/N: Part of an as-yet-untitled AU WIP in which Robert Fischer is FTM.
Once his mother dies, he feels so many things at once he doesn’t know what to do with them all. Sad, lonely, angry. Adrift. Lost.
Above all, he feels desperate fear that his father will detransition him, now that his mother’s gone. It had always been her pressure that Maurice had finally relented under, not Robert’s. And now there is pressure from no one but Robert, and Maurice has never listened to him anyway.
But it seems the situation has changed. They can both imagine the headlines, Robert supposes, and why cause another scandal just when people had gotten used to the last one? So his father does nothing, and Robert can breathe again.
The fear doesn’t go away, though. It merely changes. He remains wary of spending time alone with his father - not wanting to hear him deliberately call him Jennifer, or to hear “Robert” used to mean “every way you’ve been a disappointment” - and fears their relationship, whatever it had been, is less now for her death, hers and Jennifer’s, broken beyond repair.
