Fics like to be the salve for what still feels like an open wound

Henry furrows his eyebrows. “This… this thing, it wasn’t…” He pauses, clearly unsure how to word it, and then finally just aimlessly gestures at Randall. That means absolutely nothing to Randall, for about fifteen full seconds of confusion, until he realises what Henry is attempting to say. “As far as I can tell, Hershel is not a homosexual, if that’s what you’re asking.” (Or: Hershel and Randall attempt to navigate life, love, parenthood, and the mortifying ordeal of being known. Not in that order.)
