#SaveTimeless

Timeless Superhero AU

(for @taleasoldastime-andspace as part of @savetimelesshq‘s Timeless Birthday Fanwork Exchange)

New York: The city that never sleeps, where, in the shadows of those sleepless nights, vigilantes have taken residence. Some with powers fight to live a normal life and stay under the radar, while others fight for to gain power and control. Others still fight the villains in the hope of making a difference, of protecting people, or of making up for their sins.

Surprise, @ssgarcy! I’m your secret santa, so to speak, for the @savetimelesshq Timeless Birthday Fanwork Exchange. I chose to write for your prompt “Garcy Christmas,” although it quickly took on a life of its own. 

Rating: T

Pairing: Garcy

Summary: If you love someone, let them go. If they’re meant to be yours, they’ll come back to you.

In the end, he doesn’t tell her.

Rittenhouse falls, the world is saved, and he doesn’t tell her he loves her.

Instead, he holds her close, pressing his forehead against hers, and wills her to understand. He doesn’t deserve her, could never hope to do so, and he isn’t about to tell her how much she means to him, but she must know. Surely, by now, she knows. He’s never answered that fateful question, but with each passing day, it must have becomes more clear why, exactly, he’s there. When the chance to save his family is gone forever, and he never once considers leaving, it must be enough.

He doesn’t tell her how he feels, but he thinks it so desperately, she must sense it.

But she says nothing, and the moment slips away, as do her arms around him.

“We won,” he whispers, and it mostly doesn’t feel hollow.

“Yeah. We did.” Her smile is tired and worn, but stunning nonetheless, and a welcome relief after all of her tears. “It’s over.”

She only means the fight against Rittenhouse. Of course she does. And yet, he cannot shake the feeling of dread creeping up inside of him. The war, horrible as it was, brought them together. With it over….

He would never wish for another day of war, but for another moment by her side, it might be worth it.

Prologue It’s been seven months since the time team lost Rufus in 1888. Seven months since Future Lucy and Wyatt appeared, bringing with them more questions than answers. They brought with them instructions on how to upgrade the lifeboat allowing the team to cross their own timelines and increasing capacity so that they would be at full force when returning to save Rufus. Their visit was all business, the only information about the future shared were time machine upgrades. This was much to the dismay of Wyatt, who was hoping for reassuring information about his baby, about Jess. And as soon as the team appeared to have the task of upgrading the lifeboat under control, Future Lucy and Future Wyatt were gone.

Gift for @somekindofflower  (#SaveTimeless Birthday Fanwork Exchange)  

Rufus rubbed his hand over his scalp, finding comfort in the soft feel of his buzzcut before he brought his hand to his neck and gave it massage. He’d been tossing and turning for hours. His mind playing all the details of the mission over and over. Trying to figure out what he could’ve done differently, was there another outcome he could’ve achieved? Or was Sewall always destined die. He was left feeling lost and unsure of himself, it unsettled him and made him question everything.

He had given up sleep hours ago but it wasn’t just the troubling thoughts about his life but it was Wyatt and Jessica. The couple started having loud sex around 11pm, Rufus’ usual bedtime. They hadn’t really stopped, so it was ebbs and flows of loud noises even right now, he heard Wyatt laugh and moan in the distance. The walls were thin, frankly Wyatt was not a quiet person. For someone who didn’t talk all that much, it was an amazing feat. Rufus grimaced in disgust as he and the other inhabitants of the bunker didn’t need to hear them. While he had mixed feelings and was generally uncomfortable with the whole Jessica being alive thing, he was glad Wyatt was genuinely happy. It was a rare side of Wyatt that Rufus had rarely seen. 

Written for @potterandpromises (I hope you enjoy!)

Prompt was:  Lucy/Flynn + “I thought you were dead” hug. Bonus points if it leads to a realization of love or a discussion of feelings.

Resurrected Revelations

Summary:  Sometimes it takes losing someone to realize how much they’ve come to mean to you. Lucy finds her realization but is she too late?

“Well that was a bust,” Rufus says as he climbs out of the Lifeboat, throwing his jacket over the railing in front of the computers. “Who thinks Emma sent us on a wild goose chase to be funny?”

“Maybe she just wanted a vacation?” Jiya asks, walking over to the computer bay and punching in a series of codes. “At least we got to have a little break.”

“They changed something,” Lucy replies with a huff of annoyance.“I’m going to do some reading.” Her historical knowledge was failing her at the moment and even as she tries to make some connection between a little town in Kentucky and Rittenhouse, nothing is coming to mind.

The trip had been strange and confounding since the moment they’d landed. The small town the Mothership had traveled to was happy to have visitors but nothing of importance seemed to occur and the team stayed an extra three days just to be sure. They’d watched a barn go up, the celebration of a child’s birth, and more celebrations around livestock being born, but no one died and no one in the town looked or acted like a Rittenhouse sleeper agent. In the end, they left because the settlement seemed like an idyllic farm town and nothing more.

Lucy had missed Flynn on the trip, more than she thought she would, but Jiya had begged for another chance at time travel and the whole mission was confusing as Lucy hadn’t turned up anything of significance about the date. Flynn had agreed to stay behind, earning a hug from Jiya for his sacrifice. Between Rufus and Jiya acting like the trip was a surprise date and Wyatt staring at her but never saying anything, she’d missed Flynn’s snark and proclivity for trouble.

The phone rings at the back of the bay and each of them turns to look at the ancient rotary phone. It rings again. Rufus and Jiya look at each other, Wyatt looks at Lucy, Lucy looks at Rufus and the phone keeps ringing.

There’s an old story in Chinese folklore about a magical connection between two people that are destined to be soul mates, called “the red string of fate”. The two people connected by the red thread are destined lovers, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. This magic cord may stretch or tangle, but never break.

I wrote this a couple weeks ago, and have been anxiously sitting on it waiting for this day! (And anxiously trying not to nitpick on it too much.) I hope @idabbleincrazy likes this.

Cannonball

by Tsuuriki

Summary: Lucy evaluates her feelings about Garcia and Wyatt, to the tune of Damien Rice. All song lyrics belong him, as does my love for his music.

-~-~-~-~-~-

It was late, everyone else was asleep, and Lucy was left alone with her booze and her own musings. Laying on the couch, she decided that neither reading nor drinking herself unconscious were going to wind her down to sleep, so she put her headphones and opened up her Spotify account. She wasn’t in the mood for anything loud, just searching for something to soothe her racing mind. Folk rock wasn’t on her usual playlist, it had always been more appealing to Amy, but she had been listening more to what she knew Amy had liked, trying to keep that connection to her.

A song started with a beautifully haunting piano solo, the chords resonating within her heart before a man’s gentle harmony began.

Well I held you like a lover

Happy hands and your elbow in the appropriate place

She breathed in. She already knew this song was going to hit home. Her mind trailing back a couple weeks and over 70 years ago, to Hollywood and what was initially a magical night. Singing in front of the crowd, but singing to Wyatt. The look on his face when he realized her words were for him. Waking up the next morning with the hope that Wyatt would find the ability to move on from his then-dead wife and his own guilt.

Do you come

Together ever with him?

And is he dark enough?

Enough to see your light?

She thought about Wyatt’s face when he confronted her about staying in Garcia’s room. The night she spent taking comfort in the presence of someone that just wanted to get to know her. Lucy felt her heart speed up at Wyatt’s words “I still care about you. I can’t make that disappear.” The simultaneous thrill and dread that sank into her heart that maybe she wasn’t distancing herself enough from him for him to commit more fully to his wife.

Well I know I make you cry

And I know sometimes you wanna die

But do you really feel alive without me?

If so, be free

If not, leave him for me

Before one of us has accidental babies

For we are in love

The chorus swelled again as the words sank in. It was too late. Wyatt left when she needed him the most. He brought Jessica to the bunker. It wasn’t intentional, but it felt horribly like he was rubbing his happiness in her face. He got what he wanted, and she was stuck alone. Her mother left her for dead. Amy is still gone. Jessica is pregnant, and she was definitely not going to play the mistress. It didn’t end well for Judith Campbell, and she knew, with Rittenhouse issuing an active order for her demise, it would end badly for her as well.

The song came to a close with the line “What about me?”, as she picked up her phone to find out who sang that song. The soft and sad lyrics sank into her chest, and she needed to hear more from him.

The next song that came up by the same artist started out with a pleasant acoustic guitar. Not as melancholy as the previous song, but not cheerful either. There was deep emotion in the voice that came through her headphones.

Still a little bit of your taste in my mouth

Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt

Still a little hard to say what’s going on

She had come to his door feeling exhausted, using the bottle as an excuse to continue their conversation. She remembered waking up in Garcia’s bed, mildly hungover, but remembering everything from the night before. He had sat near her as she opened up to him. She could say that she was attracted to him, being near him was as easy as breathing. He already knew enough about the woman that wrote the journal, but she wasn’t sure if she was the person that wrote it yet.

Still a little bit of your ghost, your witness

Still a little bit of your face I haven’t kissed

You step a little closer each day

That I can’t say what’s going on

Thinking back to earlier that day, riding in the car with him. He wanted to get to know her as a real person and not just the idea of her. He was ahead of her, the journal giving him the advantage, he may already know what their future holds.

Stones taught me to fly

Love taught me to cry

So come on, courage, teach me to be shy

‘Cause it’s not hard to fall

Maybe she could allow herself to get closer to Garcia, to allow herself to trust him and possibly even fall in love with him. Maybe she could become the person he thought she was, back near the wreckage of the Hindenburg when he had turned her whole world upside down. He had already put so much trust in her, it would be easy to let him in and reciprocate that trust.

And I don’t wanna scare her

It’s not hard to fall

And I don’t wanna lose

It’s not hard to grow

When you know that you just don’t know

She sat up, making up her mind. Leaving the vodka, she walked to Garcia’s room. She wasn’t sure what she was looking for, but she knew she would find it in his eyes if she let herself open up to him.
