Fics like School of Rock; Sound of Life

Whenever his aunts were involved, surprises weren't 'hit-or-miss' so much as just 'miss'. He couldn't say they didn't try, but most everything they did seemed to want to get Kubo to forget half his genes came from his father. At least, that's what it felt like. His mother's side was rather xenophobic to put it accurately as possible. That didn't mix well when your sister's husband was American and their child ended up living with you after said sister and husband had died. It's been a little less than two years since Kubo's parents had died and custody of him had been given to his mother's relatives in Japan. A place he hadn't been to since he was born, with a language he'd had no inkling of how to speak. Kubo wasn't necessarily unhappy. Just... unhappy. It's complicated.
