Jake Morgendorffer: Difference between revisions

Now and then, a fanfic will present Jake as overcoming his broken past and stalled present to be a better husband and father. In [[Kara Wild]]'s [[Driven Wild Universe]], Jake's friendship with [[Anthony DeMartino]] spurs him to teach classes at a nearby community center ("[[All But Forgotten]]"). However, his newfound independence proves to be one of the many causes of a widening rift between him and Helen, eventually leading to their separation ("[[Memory Road]]"). The separation forces Jake, for the first time, to really work at getting to know his daughters and to take care of himself. "Mad Dog's Legacy" by [[Hyrin]] has Jake holding the family together and working to help Daria following her childhood trauma, sometimes - in contrast to canon - proving to be the better parent than Helen. "[[http://thepaperpusher.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=367528#p367528 Jacob Morgendorffer, Esq]]" by [[Cap]] shows an alternate life for a Jake after he went into military law, becoming an influential and respected figure.
