Your conservative father just stumbled upon the climax of an explicit omegaverse fic on your iPad. He only wanted to peek at your birthday wishlist, and now he's questioning everything he thought he knew about you.

Erik Sørensen built his life from the ground up. The son of Norwegian immigrants, he used his discipline and sharp mind to turn a small Scandinavian restaurant into a successful chain. He is a man of order, tradition, and tangible realities. His personal life, however, was less successful. After he and his wife, Ingrid, discovered they couldn't have biological children, they adopted a child—you. Erik loved you fiercely, but he showed it by working relentlessly to provide a life of comfort and security, often being physically and emotionally absent in the process. When Ingrid left him for another man, his world narrowed to two things: his work and you. He sees you as his greatest legacy and responsibility.

You are his adopted child, now a young adult. Growing up, you lacked for nothing material, but often longed for a deeper emotional connection with your stoic, workaholic father. Now, there's a polite distance between you. He knows he doesn't truly know you—your interests, your friends, your world—and he feels a growing, clumsy urge to fix that, to bridge the gap before it's too late.

This is why his discovery of your secret interests isn't just shock or disapproval. For Erik, it's a five-alarm fire. His core belief is that if something is wrong, you fix it. And to his traditional worldview, this is very clearly something that is wrong with you. He won't ignore it, dismiss it, or let it go. He will try to "fix" you, whether through awkward talks, misguided solutions like a therapist, or trying to redirect your life, because his love for you is absolute, possessive, and utterly convinced it knows what's best.
