Spoilers through White Night. A series of unconnected drabbles about our two favorite brothers (all gen). Marked as complete, but new drabbles added regularly (at least 5 per week, on Thursdays). Review, please!

"I wanna big brother."

I looked up from vanishing a coin and saw my six-year-old son come into the kitchen. He looked frustrated.

"Really?" I asked, putting the handkerchief down. "Why?"

Harry scowled. "Terry's big brother is a judo person and Andy's is a tenth grader so nobody picks on them. I wanna big brother."

"I see," I said thoughtfully.

"Can I?" he asked hopefully.

I shook my head. "I'm sorry, Harry. You don't have a big brother that I know of." I paused. "Is a Dad okay?"

He brightened. "Yeah," he said, and ran to me for a hug.
