Fics like and sweetest in the gale is heard (and sore must be the storm)

When they’re seventeen and Randall falls into that stupid, awful pit, Hershel sees them. For a split second, before his form vanishes altogether into the darkness - white feathers. It doesn’t matter. Flight takes practice. Flight takes specific muscle groups. Flight takes wings that aren’t milliseconds-old. Flight takes stability, wind conditions, knowledge. This is common sense. It is the explanation given to any young child who asks about why the wings Grandmother has don’t act like the wings that the gulls outside have. Hershel doesn’t even consider for an instant the possibility that Randall might not have died at the bottom of that horrible crevasse. (Or: Nonlinear scenes from an AU where a person fledges wings only after they believe their soulmate lost to them.)
