Elias Fox Dever is angry.
Not the kind of angry that goes away after a slammed door or a bad day. His anger has teeth. It comes from hurt, from shame, from a father who shows up just long enough to tear something open, then disappears before Elias can even bleed properly.
And Kaitlyn Dever is the one left trying to hold him together.
This is a collection of emotional one-shots following Kaitlyn and her son, Elias, through different ages, different fights, and different breaking points. Some days he is still little enough to crawl into her arms after a meltdown. Other days he is fifteen, furious, bruised, and swinging before he knows how to stop.
He yells. He runs. He fights. He breaks things. He pushes away the only person who keeps coming after him.
But Kaitlyn knows the truth underneath all that rage.
Elias is not bad.
He is hurt.
And no matter how loud he gets, how far he runs, or how many times anger tries to take him from her, Kaitlyn will keep showing up, keep setting the line, and keep bringing him back.
Because under every fight, every busted knuckle, every broken apology, and every moment he swears he does not need her...
he is still her son.
