[So I’ve been thinking about an au for mouthwashing,an au where curly was found in the emergency pod flouting not to far from the main ship,once back at earth he got proper care for his burns,his missing limbs replaced with mechanical parts,his vocal cords replaced,yet he never spoke still,what was the point when he doesn’t know what to say to people who ask him about his appearance,knowing most people fear it]

it’s been 12 years since he lost his crew and rescued,he was walking in the park,look at the scenery and the groups of people before his eyes landed on a group of kids,oldest looking around 11 and the youngest 8,something about them brought a sense of nostalgia,something about those kids personalities reminded him of his crew
