they're bonding

Do you ever think about the fact that Stan had a closet full of evidence against himself for committing identity theft against Ford so Ford could be cleared of all charges Stan accrued in his name? Cause I can’t stop. That man has been in court at least three times he’s not unaware.

Oh. Oh I had not thought of this. Ah. Ouch.

He was prepared for any option. Do you think, at least a little, Stan was ready for Ford to kick him out? Fo you think that somewhere in the back of Stans mind he fully believed that despite saving his brother, he was ready to go? That the only reason he knew he was going to stay was to watch the kids?

God. Terrible, terrible thought. I’m in pain.

So I’m on AO3 and I see a lot of people who put “I do not own [insert fandom here]” before their story.

Like, I came on this site to read FAN fiction. This is a FAN fiction site. I’m fully aware that you don’t own the fandom or the characters. That’s why it’s called FAN FICTION.

Oh no, he's meeting all of Eggman's standards!

A continuation to this.

Sighs.

Im back

Au where ford actually kept track of Stan a little bit more than in canon. I’m talking the man would cast spells and ask the mail box “is my brother alive” or “where is my brother”

But of course because I love myself some angst, Fords questions were worded in such a way that he ONLY knew his brother was alive—but being alive doesn’t equal being okay. He gets his brothers location, but being realistic do you think Ford would think that he’s traveling so much because he’s running away or because he’s successful and LIKES to travel. “Oh look Stanley’s taking a vacation in Colombia. Although that’s a long vacations it’s been months… he must be pretty rich thanks to his products!” (Because remember ford had seen Stan’s commercials, so ford follows his line of logic to be that Stan is pretty successful.)

Of course one day Ford finally asks a slightly different question, one that crumples the narrative he created in his mind, “How is Stanley doing?”

And that’s when he learns that his brother is currently being transported to a hospital. That his brother is on the verge of death due to malnutrition, hypothermia, and because of an infected untreated wound. That his brother hasn’t been okay the last few years.

He learns that he asked all the wrong questions.
