Here is my take on how things might have happened differently had Cora and Robert's son lived. It will primarily focus on Cora and Robert, but things will be different for other characters too. There will be fluff, there will be angst, and there will be hurt and comfort all in due course. Rated M for later chapters. This is my first multi-chapter work so please comment and follow!

Bits and pieces from Aubade and Cantata that didn't fit into the main storyline. NOTE: some of this content will be M-rated, that is why the story is marked as such. Please see each chapter for specific warnings. This is also marked "complete" because each chapter within itself is a separate entry.
