Title: "Father to the Man"

Author: Farad

Pairing: C/V
Rating: FRAO, but for issues not actual sex on-screen. (sorry)

Warnings: issues of death (but not the deaths of any of the Seven); issues of alcoholism

Author's notes: Special thanks to my wonderful betas and partners in M7-literary-crime, Charlotte C. Hill (charlottechill ) and Adonnchaid (adonnchaid ).  The last quarter of 2009 was personally – well, rough, and as with most things, I worked it out 'on paper'.
