Sometimes A Family Is You, Your 200-year-old Mom, Her Sad Robot Boyfriend, Your Dead Father, Your Other

Not to make anybody sad but, well...misery loves company, and I'm currently miserably sick, replaying Fable 3 and remembering an old headcanon I have of Walter getting the dog you have in game for the Hobw's first birthday after Sparrow's passing. Jasper was originally against the idea, not fond of the thought of having to clean dog hair off of everything the young princess/prince owns, but when even Logan agrees it could be a good idea, he caves and agrees with the plan, if only to see the Hobw happy once more. It's the first time the Hobw, and Logan for that matter, smile since the Hero King/Queens passing. And if the prince/princess keeps and only ever rides an unusually beautiful mare that was gifted by a certain capitalist industry tycoon, well, nobody raises an eyebrow.

This probably isn't a new headcanon or anything but I gotta share my thoughts.

In my mind, the reason why there are two different hero weapons in the Sanctuary is because one was supposed to go to each of Sparrow's children. The hammer for Logan, the sword for the HoBW, the pistol for Logan, the rifle for the HoBW.

They're living weapons that change with their users. You can't tell me Sparrow — the master blacksmith — didn't create them on their own.

The Sanctuary was meant for BOTH royal siblings. Sparrow couldn't have imagined what Theresa was going to do, pitting them against each other like she did for the "gReAtEr GoOd."

I also can't imagine Sparrow would ever refer to Theresa as their guide after she used them for decades to get control of the Spire. If Sparrow had known, I think they would have warned Logan and the HoBW not to trust anything the blind seer says.

And maybe it's my own bias but I can't imagine Sparrow leaving everything magical to their secondborn child. There's no way in hell Sparrow could have known only one of their children would have overt Hero abilities. Sparrow only manifested their powers in their 20s so when they died, they fully could have thought Logan would be capable of using magic and accessing the Sanctuary.

(And I refuse to believe Logan got NOTHING from his heroic bloodline, he just can't use Will abilities)

I don't know. It just feels to me that the HoBW was given the things meant for Logan but that might be projecting the fact that Logan was my Sparrow's favorite child lmao

Like yes Albion needed a fully manifested Hero leading the fight but if/when destiny called on their children (aka Theresa being manipulative again) I can't see Sparrow expecting them to fight in any way other than together.

So they were each left a weapon and a wish from a parent who adores them both that when the hell comes knocking at their door they would face it together. Sparrow took every horror on alone. They would never wish that on their children.

tldr: I headcanon that Sparrow made the hero weapons themselves expecting both Logan and the Hero to work together and make use of them. They weren't able to because Theresa meddled and their children were manipulated the same way they were
