Fics like The Evidence of Things Hoped For

“You’re talking about 200 years of history, Nile,” says Copley when she calls. “Do you really think you can fix that in six months?” “First off,” replies Nile, “I am not fixing anything. I’m not a damn therapist. This mess needs to be fixed because I don’t get an out. There’s not a world where I just fuck off to do my own thing. I could argue for a few years with my family, but well, Booker tried that and look where that’s got us.” “So you think this break will help?” Nile shrugs before remembering that Copley can’t see her. “Help or hurt, we aren’t working right now. Not as a team or a family. It’s one thing to realize that they missed a lot of what’s been going on with Booker, with what he’s been suffering from. It’s another to assume that knowing the past, changes the present. He still betrayed them. It’s messy. That’s the bottom line.” Or the story of found family coming together through accountability, forgiveness, a lot of therapy, and maybe a miracle or two.
