Fractured Thoughts

All the kids on summer holidays running around under foot gave me a fic list bunny, and I decided to write about the summers of some of my favourite characters. Yes I know I'm already writing lots of different stories but this is a sort of seasonal one-shot, (which I might continue with some other characters because I haven't done any of the pilots yet and they don't like being left out).

Title: How I spent my Summers
Rating: PG
Warnings: some of them are a little sad, with some implied child abuse, there's slash in Methos' and (shock horror) het in most of them,

Characters:

Vin Tanner (ATF universe):

Aged 5- Vin hid under the desk in his Mama’s room listening to her cough, his knees drawn up under his chin he would wait until she called for him and then he would come running to her and they would go to the park or to get an ice-cream. She would call for him if he just waited.

Aged 10 - Vin spent the summer holidays in the woods or at the reservation, quick to offer to help and even quicker to disappear before he became unwanted. Vin spent the summer anywhere his foster father was not.
