Fics like Make This Place Beautiful

Jon was not a stranger to death. He was an orphan raised by his elderly grandmother, he’d been to more funerals than he had weddings. Death… death was undiscerning. Objective. First you were alive, and then you were not. Simple. Humans were the ones who made it messy, with their mourning and their loud, heavy grief. Burials and ceremonies and calla lilies. Sometimes, Jon wished it was just a matter of putting a body in the dirt and being done with it. The last funeral he had been to was his grandmother’s. She was seventy nine. She died peacefully, in her sleep. And she would have hated that. Jon glanced down to the child sleeping beside him. Willa Briar. His first cousin, once removed. This was her mother’s funeral. Jon adopts the daughter of his late cousin. This is complicated by the simple truth that he has no idea how to be a parent.
