Summary
An excerpt from a sequel set in the After the End universe that I'm not sure if I'll ever get around to writing in full. Following the events of Greedfall, After the End, and Return to Serene, Fleet Commander Vasco of the Nauts is sent back to Serene with orders to retrieve a child who a noble of Serene is donating to his guild...a nobleman who happens to be none other than Sir Leandre d'Arcy, Vasco's brother. (An Unexpected Party is set after this; for reference, Kurt and de Sardet's youngest daughter is born a few months after this.)
This is from the end of that story, in which Vasco retrieves the donation but decides that, instead of returning him to the Nauts' home island to be communally reared according to their customs, he's going to adopt the boy and raise him aboard the Sea Horse, as his own son.
Since I don't know that I'll ever get around to writing the Vasco fic in full, I thought it would be nice to post this as a bit of fluff for Father's Day.
