You guys, [community profile] multifandomdrabble just revealed 466 drabbles and drabble series! Lots of good stuff to go through!

I contributed this, for [personal profile] ranalore who wanted Wynonna Earp and Wynonna/Waverly/Michelle family dynamic. This is my first ever Wynonna Earp fic that I can recall and I'm pretty happy with it.


Generations

Sometimes Michelle has to remind herself that the woman who comes to visit her is her daughter. She never forgets as such, as much as this place messes with her head, just … it's hard to draw a straight line from the girl she remembers to this gaunt, sarcastic, whiskey-pored woman.

There's so much of her father in her. A lifetime of solving problems with a fist. Not that she has much choice, Michelle supposes.

She has to remind herself that this grown woman is her daughter. That she can still reach her, help her, if only by pushing her away.

* * *

Sometimes, on her way home from the institute, Wynonna has to stop by the side of the road. She doesn't smoke, and she doesn't drink and drive (much), so unless she happens to come across a revenant hitchhiker or three, shooting bottles it is.

Funny how she keeps not running out of bottles.

She has good reasons not to tell Waverly about Mom. She can count them with each bullet. They've done fine without her for a long time. Waverly did fine without her. They're adults. They fight monsters. In this place, some secrets are better kept secret.

Bang. Smash.

* * *

Sometimes, Waverly comes home to find Wynonna drunk at the kitchen table. (OK, "sometimes" is flexible these days.) When she puts a blanket around Wynonna's shoulders, she mumbles something about keeping Alice Michelle safe. "...'s what a mom's s'posed to do, right?"

And it's bullshit, the whole situation, and some other time Waverly might tell her that between the two of them, they probably have no honest idea what a mom's supposed to do. Maybe no one does. They handle it as it happens.

Waverly hugs her sister and helps her to bed. She doesn't have to. She just does.
