Fics like Le jeune soldat des Arbres

There’s a story, to tell David Cartwright, the Old Bastard, facilitator of the future of Les Arbes. That his daughter, flighty and spiteful and rebellious, had finally taken things too far by running off and having a baby with one of the worst spectres of his career. In buying her freedom, David had bought his seven-year-old grandson too. In exchange for this grand, unasked for act of heroic sacrifice, Cartwright felt entitled to spend his summers with the boy, felt he deserved the chance to love him, and teach him, and mould him in his own image to follow in his footsteps and uphold the family legacy. But River has a family already. A legacy to live up to, a father lighting his path, sheparding him toward his future. Because the story is a lie, a cover; and every summer, River Harkness leaves his home at Les Arbes, to become River Cartwright. A simple double agent. As any good enemy deserved.
