A Strange Sort of Family by TheAsexualofSpades
Fandoms: Biohazard | Resident Evil (Gameverse)
06 Dec 2023
Tags
Summary
You'd think after about 16 years of being treated like a child and the most powerful bioweapon the world has ever seen, you might get used to it.
Nope!
Not even slightly.
Sometimes a family is a molded bioweapon, a traumatized agent, a former bioterrorist, and a series of golden, sparkly words. Sometimes family is decorating your room with your mother, sometimes family is hugging a pillow because your dad isn't here anymore. Sometimes family is training too hard and going out for ice cream, sometimes family is a dinner where your parents won't stop teasing you.
Or, five times Ethan Winters was there for his daughter, and one time Rosemary Winters was there for her father.

Ice Cream Apologies by TheAsexualofSpades

Summary
Fuck, she's her father's daughter.
Every day, he looks at her and he can't stop fucking seeing Ethan. In how she holds herself with her shoulders just a little hunched, how her mouth twists the same way his did when he wants to call bullshit but is too polite to say it. How she smiles and the corners of her eyes crinkle up like she just can't help it. Even how she fights—she holds a gun the same way he did, she picks her targets the way he did, she even reloads the way he did.
"That's the fucking problem, Redfield," he grumbles to himself as he turns onto the bridge.
***
A look at Chris's perspective after his fight with Rose, and a memory that he's never quite figured out what to do with.

Summary
"It's not fair," she mumbles almost unthinkingly.
She hears the shift as Chris moves again but Mom holds up a hand this time. "What's not fair, honey?"
"I can't just be mad. When you get mad, or when you guys get mad," she says, jerking her head toward Chris, "you just…get to be mad. Like that's just a thing that you're allowed to do. But when I get mad, it's like everyone's looking for an excuse to…"
She swallows. Her hands feel sticky.
"…put me down or something."
***
Being angry, as it turns out, is something of a human luxury.

Summary
The first time he talks to Eveline, really actually talks, is right after he 'dies' from his 'injuries' from the battle with Miranda. Yes, the quotes are necessary, because if he doesn't put them there, he does dangerous things like thinking he's alive and has a body that can get up and go find his daughter and give her a big, huge, actual hug because he's sad, goddammit, that he can't do that because he's not alive.
***
Or, Ethan Winters has a long time of being 'dead.' Highlights include: learning how to talk to Rose, learning how to talk to Eveline, and learning how to continue pissing off whatever God really wants him dead but can't be bothered to actually do the job right.

Summary
"How about a bubble bath?"
Both of them turn to stare at Dad. His arm around her waist pulls her closer, almost into his lap.
"Baths always help. You can soak in the warm water and I'll wash your hair for you."
"…I've never had a bubble bath before."
A series of emotions flickers across both Dad's face and Chris's face before Dad smiles, nudging her. "Then we definitely need to remedy that. C'mon, sweetie, let's get you a bubble bath."
